    Politics: Nunes Memo

    There's so much about this memo stuff that bothers me, but the biggest is this premise: "Here's a book report on a book you'll never be able to read. You have no idea if I've included everything in the book or if I've left half the book out. But you should trust me." That's the sell with...

    Vandal Caught On Surveillance at a Radio Station

    On Wednesday, January 31, 2018, KIRO Radio captured surveillance footage of a vandal trying to break in to one of our employee's vehicles in our parking lot. While the suspect is still at large, we took the liberty to have John Curley give his play-by-play of the incident...

    Politics: Nunes Memo

    I think in regards to the Democrats efforts to discredit this memo is for a few reasons: ---Many suspect the whole purpose of this memo is the provide a justification for Trump to fire Deputy AG Rosenstein. Now Paul Ryan said yesterday this memo isn't about Rosenstein or Mueller. But Ryan has...

    Politics: Nunes Memo

    So the HPSCI released the transcripts of the vote they had regarding this memo. (Link to the doc on the House of Rep's site below). But a couple of things that reveal themselves in these transcripts that I think doesn't get mentioned enough in all the discussions regarding this memo that are, in...

    Politics: Nunes Memo

    It's a memo written by Devin Nunes based on a FISA warrant. FISA warrants are generally around 50 to 60 pages long. I'm not really sure what you mean by "what's released will be completely different from the actual memo" since the person releasing the memo is the same one who wrote it - Devin...

    Politics: Nunes Memo

    I was having lunch with some folks yesterday the discussion of the Nunes memo came up. There was quite a bit of mis-understandings that I heard during that discussion. Understandably so considering the chaos from our current news cycles. Word in the rumor mills is this memo is going to allege...

    Kansas City Harley Davidson Plant Closing

    Even though I give Harley's a hard time, I hate to see this: https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2018/01/30/harley-davidson-kc-plant-closing-announcement.html During a Tuesday earnings call, Harley-Davidson CEO Matt Levatich said the plant closing would affect 800 jobs in Kansas City...

    General Billy Mitchell

    I think a movie on this guy would make a really interesting movie. He has an interesting story. Makes you wonder if they would have listened to him, Pearl Harbor might have had a different story. http://www.historynet.com/william-billy-mitchell-an-air-power-visionary.htm...

    Future of shopping...

    Very true. Unfortunately, that's the future. But not just for entry-level jobs. As we all know corporations/companies got big tax cuts. And many are taking that money and re-investing it new technology/automation which will ultimately lead to more jobs going away. And not just entry level. Many...

    Future of shopping...

    Exactly. You highlighted the big distinction. Many shoppers are resistant to the self serve check out for obvious reasons. But since this eliminates even going through a checkout entirely -- that's a convenience many will welcome and will be hard to resist. I know I'd love it.

    Future of shopping...

    So Amazon opened their first cashier-less store today. The company I work for has been testing this tech as well for a few years, but more from a marketing perspective. This could be where retail shopping will be headed. 1> Long term it will lower costs (fewer employees). 2> With the data...

    Conundrum

    And I never made a claim that a government shutdown was the end of the world. I was pointing out that the ones responsible for keeping it going have made sure their lives aren't impacted by their inability to do their job while millions of Americans will be impacted. Maybe the sky isn't falling...

    Conundrum

    You're right about that - I can't deny it. Hell, I think we should apply that approach to everything. "Police seized my car through civil forfeiture but never charged me with a crime." -- Fun fact: It's happened before, and the sky didn't fall. "A company just laid off 1,000 American...

    Conundrum

    Here's a present day conundrum: -- If Congress can't do their job, the government shuts down and millions of federal employees don't get paid and creates financial stress for those families. But there ARE some federal employees that DO get paid during a government shutdown -- Congressional...

    Conundrum

    There is no conundrum. The status of America is because of Americans. It's the way our founding fathers designed this republic. The problem is their design depended on a citizenry that respected knowledge and expertise. America no longer does either. We celebrate stupidity and take pride in...

    Net Neutrality

    I'll just quote the headline: The Repeal Of Net Neutrality Is A Bad Thing (But Not For The Reasons You Think) Sure, lets argue over WHY its bad and ignore the simple fact that it's bad period. Because that's EXACTLY what the title of the article says. And I'm sorry, this article does the same...

    Net Neutrality

    Actually throttling someones bandwidth isn't illegal under the Clayton or Sherman Acts. The reason internet broadband got classified as Title II was BECAUSE Comcast and Verizon were already found guilty of doing this ****. Something that former FCC guy seems to casually forget. And when the FCC...

    Life's Hard Sometimes

    Sometimes anti-depressants can make things worse. Takes time find the right one and right dosage and switching meds can take months of transition time. Patience and time is the key. Easier said than done when you're going through what you are going through. I'm not a man of faith, but I have...
