Ethics + Business = Unicorns?
By Master of Her Domain
Question. Do ethical business people exist? Is finding an honest
person to do business with akin to finding a unicorn? And how DOES
one go about finding one anyway?
Remember him? He was the big shot that systematically destroyed California's energy well-being by being a greedy, lying, cheating, dirty old bastard. He built a company, earned the trust of consumers and the government, and then brought it all down by way of stealing money from his workers, lying to investors, and generally being an absolute disgrace. Once upon a time, he was the symbol of success. A win-at-all-costs, no nonsense businessman. He is just one example of thousands of why win-at-all-costs and ethics don't go hand in hand.
In our day to day life, we deal with car dealers, contractors, salesman at Best Buy. We shop around to get good deals on our electronics or car parts, but sometimes we just TRUST someone else.
I used to trust my mechanic, until he bilked me for $800 for something I didn't actually need. I will never go to him again.
I trusted my car dealer when I bought my very first car. They were recommended by my boss and his family. They lied to me, and I was out $2500 in extra cash the day I picked up the vehicle. If anyone is thinking about purchasing from White Plains Chrysler Jeep, I'd suggest you look elsewhere. Just a friendly tip.
I trusted James and Deborah Romano of Cheshire Connecticut when I wanted to mass-produce original recipe burritos. My sister and I worked our butts off to perfect the recipe and get them into stores, and just when we did, they decided to cut us out of deal. We had nothing in writing. Lesson learned.
Trust is a valuable commodity, and yet many times professionals of all kinds take advantage of that trust. Most people say that referrals are the 'best way to go' when shopping for a mortgage, insurance, a lawyer- but is it really the best way? Do you want someone who knows that you are blindly trusting them because your brother/aunt/father recommended them? It wouldn't be a bad thing if that professional had an ethical compass, but again, ethical compass-driven professionals seem to very hard to come by.
When I was in the mortgage business, I did the best I could for each and every client. I do not know how it happened, but I went from an immature, pumpkin-stealing, petty thief to an absolute saint in the mortgage business. In a world where lying was necessary, I lost loans because of my inability to be an 'ends justify the means, especially if the ends are hundred dollar bills, ya'll' type of person. I regularly saw people get referrals and take advantage of the blind trust- maybe charge an extra point, maybe sneak in an extra .125% to the rate. These clients were thinking 'Well, Susie recommended him. He can't POSSIBLY be misleading me.'.
I happen to think those same clients are better off hunting for a unicorn. According to the Harry Potter series, unicorn blood is extremely valuable to the 'win at all costs' crowd. Perhaps they could sell bottles of it to all the good professionals they know.

Where will LeBron James end up?
By Master of Her Domain
To answer the question of the new century, I turn to my
instinct.
LeBron James will........
STAY IN CLEVELAND.
It's where his heart is. It's where he made his promise to bring a championship. And it's exactly where most 'experts' think he is LEAST LIKELY to end up. Going with my gut here, I think he will remain in Cleveland for a few more years. He's young, he can do anything he wants. And for him, money probably has very little to do with it. What he gives up from signing with a team willing to give him more in salary, he will most likely make up by snagging a new endorsement gig.
I can't wait to find out if I am right!

The Vehicles of the Future
By Jen
In case you haven't heard, petroleum is going to run out sometime
in the future. That means our gas-hogging vehicles will need to
find an alternative means to get moving.
Forget about the fact that vehicles are not supposed to run on petroleum-based products. Forget the fact that Hemp oil and other vegetable oil products were what Henry Ford had in mind. Forget the fact that we give control over oil prices to a finicky investment market who's whims cost us billions. Forget the fact that off-shore drilling has just taken a nasty PR hit and wouldn't solve our price problems to begin with.
Electric cars will eventually be a viable, and very cool, alternative. Take a sneak peek at these cars: http://www.hybridcars.com/electric-car
My favorite is the Aptera 2e. It's a three-wheeled, all-electric, head-turner of a ride. I want one so bad I may actually move to California and get on their waiting list. I would actually sell a kidney to have one. And that sets up problem number one: Cost. Many electric cars are out of the price-range to make them truly attractive to the masses. 15,000 dollars can't buy you a cool electric car. You'd be better off suping up a golf cart. Sure, you can get a shoebox for a decent price, but not a hot Aptera 2e, or a Tesla Model S. Oooohhhhh, what I wouldn't give. I suppose that's not really a problem as that's the way car prices are- pay more, get a cooler ride. Very simple.
Problem number two is battery life- how can you take a long trip with an electric car? You really can't, unless you don't mind a 6 hour pit-stop every 100 miles or so. Unless they find a way to make the batteries more light-weight and interchangeable, we have a wall to tear down. The current plan is to have 'refueling stations' in cities across the country. You stop, you plug in, you wait. But what if the batteries were set up in such a way as to make it possible to switch them out instead? You stop in for 'refueling', and instead of plugging in, the crew takes out your discharged batteries and replaces them with a fully charged, ready to go, set. Is it possible? Yes. Anything is possible, this is the United States dammit. Home of innovation and technology. Well, it used to be.
Believe it or not, we now lag behind other countries like China and even India in certain forms of technology. Why? Because the idiotic American consumer is unwilling to make changes. I STILL see Ford Excursions on the road. Hummers have come back in full force. These gigantic, heavy, globs of metal and plastic that take so much energy to run have become our way of life.
My parents had five kids. We never even had a station wagon. A mother of two does NOT need a Lincoln Navigator (8 miles to the gallon??) to go GROCERY SHOPPING! Grow a brain people! We spend hundreds of billions of dollars on oil every year, most of that going OUT OF THE COUNTRY. This cannot keep up if we are going to see any sort of progress.
The time to get a vehicle that runs on something other than Dinosaur blood is fast approaching. What will make electric vehicles more enticing to consumers? How could automakers that are struggling use these new innovative products to regain some prosperity? What is going to have to happen before we start looking at ALL alternative power sources instead of chanting 'Drill baby drill'???
I, for one, and saving up for my Aptera 2e. They also make a 2h, which is a hybrid model. 350 miles for a run time. See, innovation kicks ass!

The Laziest People on Earth
By Master of Her Domain
I have a few 'pet peeves', and they have one thing in
common. Laziness, taken to the extreme.
1) People who don't use their turn signals. I see it all day long, every day of the week. 90% of drivers on Connecticut roads and highways do not bother using their turn signals. Assuming 3 of those people actually have no left arm, that leaves a LOT of folks who are just too lazy and stupid to let people know when they are changing lanes. Would it kill them to flick their left wrist ever so slightly? Is it really that difficult? To get the answer, I spoke with Loretta McSweeney, 94 years old, of Sunset Meadows. I brought her frail and arthritic body out to my truck via gurney. While she was enjoying the fresh air, she said 'Oh boy, I can't wait to drive! I haven't been in a truck since my husband passed in '73, hooray!'. She was so cute. I propped her up in the driver's seat, got in on the passenger side, and said 'Let's go granny! Yeehaw!'. We didn't move. She needed me to turn the key and start the engine. My bad. I forgot her decrepit fingers had little strength left. After I started the truck, she revved that engine and I jokingly yanked it into gear to give it a little goose. We got cruising around the parking lot, and wouldn't ya know it? SHE USED THE TURN SIGNAL. I was so blown away by the fact that a woman with relatively little dexterity could manage to use such a troublesome tool. I asked her why she used it, and how her wrist felt after making such a laborious motion. She simply said 'Oh, that was nothing. I still wipe my own ass, ya know.'. Classy Loretta, real classy.
2) People who litter. I once saw a group of girls in a car driving out of a gas station parking lot throwing wrappers of whatever they had just purchased out the window. I wondered if they were aware that gas stations have garbage cans. I wondered what made a person feel like the Earth IS their garbage can. I wondered if I would get in trouble for running them off the road, or at least into a guard rail. I went walking today through a beautiful wooded area. There were all manner of nasty things strewn about- Twinkies wrappers, water bottles, cigarette packs. Why? Stuff your garbage in your pocket, bring a small bag to put your garbage in, or better yet- don't bring what you can't take out. This is easily the most disgusting thing lazy people do, and it irks me to no end.
3) People who cannot bring their shopping carts to a corral or at least move them out of parking spaces. True story, unlike McSweeney above. My sister and I were shopping at Bob's clothing store in Danbury a few years ago. We were walking into the store, but saw the most amazing thing in the parking lot behind us so we stopped to watch. There was a shopping cart left by idiot #1 in a parking space. Idiot #2 and his wife pull into said parking space, and proceed to NUDGE the shopping cart INTO THE DRIVING LANE. Neither of them could be bothered to simply exit their vehicle and move the cart to the next spot, or BRING IT TO THE STORE WITH THEM. The wife got out, and came into the store, cartless. What happened next is so shocking, it cannot be shown on TV. The husband didn't get out of his SUV at all, he simply nudged the cart a little further, and drove off, leaving the cart in the middle of a driving lane so that others had to drive around it. SERIOUSLY?! This is acceptable behavior?? If this is not the most perfect example of laziness, I will tell one more. There was an old man (50's, but hey... he acted 110) at a Stop & Shop in Southington. He walked his cart back toward the cart corral, but just couldn't make it all the way there. I presume he had to get back to water so he could breathe again. He left his cart not ten feet from the corral and IN BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. Really, you can't make this up.
What examples of laziness have YOU seen? What makes you cringe in disgust?

The Great Health Insurance Debate
By Master of Her Domain
Some people in this country think our health CARE system is just
fine. On that point, I'd have to agree. We have a lot of good
doctors and nurses, great education, innovations up the whazoo...
Sadly, the insurance industry and a bunch of politicians want to
prevent ALL citizens from having ACCESS to that system. They want
some people to go without, get sick, and claim bankruptcy or just
die. Is that hyperbole? Perhaps a little.
My English uncles are visiting, and we had an interesting conversation about their "Socialist" medical care back in England. My mother was present, and if you read my blogs, you know where she stands on this issue. I'll give you a hint, she is firmly planted in the Fox News studios calling Allan Colmes a Communist. She wanted desperately for them to say something bad about the system. Here's how the conversation went:
'So, what's the system like over there?'
'The care I got for my operation was first class.'
Irate, my mother asks the next few questions.
'Where did you have it done?'
'Barnsley.'
'How long did you have to wait???'
'Not long at all.'
Uh oh... My mom's heart was breaking right before my eyes. How could a 'Socialist' system not kill every last European out there? How in the world was my uncle still alive?
Well, I'll tell you. In reality, where most rational people live, doctors and hospitals don't care HOW they get paid, just so long as they GET PAID. In England, people pay taxes. Some of those taxes go to pay for the roads, some goes towards education (they all get to go to college there, did you know that?), and yet they even have money left over to run the National Health System. I know what you are saying. 'Yeah, but those Socialists don't want to fix you, they want you to die!!! Damn Socialists'. Well, check out their website: http://www.nhs.uk/Pages/HomePage.aspx
Do they REALLY seem hell bent on killing Brits?
If you get sick there, you go to a hospital, or your GP, get the care you need, and you are done. It's been paid for already, by way of taxation. Amazing, isn't it? Quality care, no worries about how it's going to be paid for. Ah, what a stress-free existence.
In this country, for some strange reason, people think that this set-up is bad. They think 'government run' means BAD. What I find striking is that there are actually politicians who think government is BAD. Why are they part of it then? Why not allow people who want to operate BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE run things? Why do some people in this country IDOLIZE a person like Ronald Reagan? His faith in government was so low, it may have not existed. "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'
Really Reagan? Maybe we hired the wrong guy?
I'm off on a major tangent now, but I hope we can actually have a conversation about this one day, without all this 'WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!' crap. Insurance companies offer NOTHING of vallue, and I would challenge anyone to come with something that makes the health insurance industry irreplaceable.

Is Tiger Woods the biggest moron in the world???
By Master of Her Domain
Yes.
Tiger, Tiger, Tiger... if you knew that you would have trouble keeping your nine iron in your pants, why did you get married? Why couldn't you just be like Derek Jeter and live the life of a bachelor until you finally got your fill of money-grubbing cocktail waitresses??
According to some news organizations, Tiger had 18 mistresses. 18. He is losing his wife, half of his fortune, and some of his biggest sponsors because he was a fake. A phony. A fraud.
In today's world, being married and sleeping around is ok, provided your spouse KNOWS about it. It's called an 'open' marriage, and it's becoming more and more popular. Maybe people are starting to realize that even the best of us can't deal with sleeping with ONE person for the rest of our lives. Perhaps people are maturing and no longer viewing another person as property or territory. Whatever the reason is, the 'open relationship' is bringing the honesty and communication about sex and desire to the forefront of relationships. Apparently, this moron never got the memo.
Tiger Woods could not be honest for his wife and children. He could not give her warning. He used her to better his 'perfect' image, make a couple of children he could tote along to the movies, and be his lover when he returned home from those oh-so-stressful tournaments. Selfish bastard seems like a fitting definition for this guy, doesn't it?
He had hoes in different area codes, one for each hole. Few of them seem to be all that accomplished, and their greatest claim to fame will always be banging Tiger Woods, the golf game's greatest. I suppose it's better than sleeping with Hugh Hefner, but come on girls. Get some brains and self-respect!
Tiger has shown us what immaturity and stupidity can do to an otherwise fairy-tale life. Learn the lesson children. Don't be a moron.
