Domestic Management and Productivity, not Home Economics (A Business School for Women)




 

For generations, home economics taught cooking and sewing as the sum total of a woman’s place in the home. No wonder Feminism. In truth, however, the home offers women the choice of a multimillion-dollar lifetime enterprise, every bit as demanding of finance and entrepreneurship as any corporation.

Multiplying the number of homes in the US, yields a staggering product, and a large segment of the economy. Sadly, the minimum wage and other restrictions eliminate options and nearly all domestic labor leaving the CEO of the home with little choice but to escape and seek a job that utilizes her talent elsewhere. The fallouts from that economic restraint, include: the stifling of productivity in the trillions, neglected childcare, homelessness, broken families, a taxpayer burden, increased demand for social assistance, demand for elder care and adult children of fatherless families.

The solution requires only a high level of business education and the removal of restrictive regulations. The economy will adapt. Remove minimum wage, remove zoning restrictions against multiple generation housing, rental restrictions, and building restrictions. Most helpful of all, teach women advanced finance, construction and business management. The sewing and cooking will take care of itself with flexible wages and domestic housing. Seniors could experience family support rather than expensive assisted living. Productivity would return to the home-market-segment. 

This proposition depends on a woman’s choice for a high-level education in Domestic-Management-and-Productivity. It could be a highly progressive and highly rewarding solution to an intractable social problem and a massive boost to economic activity, the neglected Velocity multiple that drives the GDP.

Work for your family and community supporting the common good, or take from the wealth of those who produce and promise benefits to those who do not and those destroyed by the theft of their own creation.

Election 2024

The November 2024 election presents a significant challenge, transcending the traditional Democrat versus Republican divide. 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%.
