Undeniably Right

What happened to Bud Light and IHOP is being taught in textbooks handed out to college students in business classes. Both brands tried to reinvent themselves. Bud Light was the most widely consumed beer in the United States, and it wasn't even close. IHOP was one of the leading breakfast restaurants but decided to rebrand themselves as a burger joint. Bu Llight now barely registers sales that would put it in the top 10 beers consumed by Americans. And let's not get started about Jaguar.

This should be interesting!

I heard a new commercial on the radio for Skechers sneakers. These particular sneakers are for kids but the commercial definitely targets parents. What sets these sneakers apart from others is a hidden compartment underneath the insole of the shoe. Parents could put an Apple air tag into that compartment. If you don't know what an air tag is, it's a device that allows you to track the location of whatever the air tag is attached to. A lot of people like to use it for their luggage.

The clear implication is that you can now track your child's location if they get separated from you or maybe if they are playing in the neighborhood and don't come home at the right time. It's not a bad idea. In fact it seems like a pretty smart marketing campaign.

Good question. Let's find out.

Left-leaning intellectuals and politicians who sometimes believe they are one and the same, like to tell you that poverty is a moral issue. I'm not sure how morality will solve the problem, but they seem to equate morality with spending government money on handouts. It also makes the assumption that the rest of us are an immoral people and don't really care about our fellow human beings.

The simple truth is that from the beginning of time, mankind lived in abject poverty. Our entire existence consisted of trying to find food and shelter. It often meant that we followed food sources as they migrated to follow their food sources. But interestingly, at some point some segments of the human race figured out how to get out of poverty.

I wonder why?

Carbon dioxide is the gas of life. The more carbon dioxide that we have in the atmosphere the more plants we can grow. Science has told us that at times when there is a slight increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, more plants grow. Because plants absorb carbon dioxide. And when we can grow more plants, we can grow more food. Vegans are happy because they can grow more corn, soybeans, squash. Carnivores are happy because when we can grow more grass, we can raise more cows, sheep, deer, and elk.

Science also tells us that carbon dioxide is a very small part of our atmosphere, less than 3%. Human activity contributes about 1/10th of 1% of the CO2 in the atmosphere. Yet the climate alarmist profiteers tell us that the carbon dioxide we emit from our activities is causing climate change. In an ecosystem that has survived and adapted to much more catastrophic occurrences. The active volcanoes on our planet put more carbon dioxide into our atmosphere in one day than all of the activities from human beings contribute in one year.

One of the undeniable truths of life in My World is that most problems have multiple causes and thus need multiple solutions. One of the reasons politicians never solve any problems is because they try and give you one solution. This is deliberate because if they actually solve problems, they are afraid they would lose their power. What they really like to do and do very well is make you think they are solving a problem; thus, they keep their power, get reelected and we keep on paying the price. It's one of the reasons the cost of living keeps going up.

California has led the way, setting an example for every other state and the federal government in how to play the game. Senate bill 753 is about to pass through the state legislature. It got through the Senate unanimously. The bill deals with the very serious problem of abandoned shopping carts. The mayor of San Jose has pushed the legislation due to the significant problem his city has with the homeless and them abandoning shopping carts that no longer meet their needs.
