Miles to go---

Is there anything more irritating than the propaganda of the phone companies suggesting that we have all the bandwidth we can use? Software cannot advance without the ability to deliver it, process it, or contain it. Look at Windows, a complex operating system but from a functional point of view, so inadequate. The dictionary should contain all the words and should familiarize itself with the users vocabulary, weather legal, medical or the vernacular of the street and languages. Voice recognition has miles to go. What about math? One would think a computer could compute, but the limitation remains profound. The spreadsheet and the popup calculator do only rudimentary calculations. The cells in the spreadsheet are limited to only one argument. Why not advanced algebra, calculus, and trig? Moreover, the illuminating graphics that go with them. Sure, we have Met Lab and Mathmatica, but it takes a degree to operate them. What a jump in productivity and learning if the myriad of alternative pathways of advanced math were reduced to intuitive algorithms on the desk top for all to access. “---and miles to go before I sleep.”

This election will determine the future of the American Republic, Western civilization, and potentially the survival of the human species. Plato suggested that democracies tend to devolve into oligarchies, and we are witnessing that transformation before our eyes. Three major trends in the U.S. threaten to replace our Constitution and representative government with a totalitarian, internationalist, socialistic oligarchy. First, seventy years of Soviet subversion, the Vietnam War, and generations of youth who were taught to reject American institutions have undermined U.S. leadership. Now, Chinese espionage, bribery, and infiltration further contribute to the erosion of America’s traditions of citizenship, enterprise, and prosperity. Second, NGOs in Washington, an entrenched bureaucracy, and organizations like the Trilateral Commission prioritize internation...

Inflation

Many retail investors buy individual stocks with growing confidence in a narket that has a long run. Many fail to appreciate the way the market reflects inflation. Company revenue consists of inflated number,s as does cost and profit, thus the market reflects true inflation which must now be near 100%.
