I don’t know- maybe I should make this an annual letter.

I was reading the Washington Post and discovered that Unilever is changing its policy. It will no longer be using folks to promote their products, these so-called “influencers”. First, because these influencers often pay to have folks follow them, as such improving their rating as influencers. And, secondly, many of these folks get paid to write their “celebrity” endorsements.

We have met the enemy…

We all seem to be worried (OK, that is everyone but TheDonald) that the Russians and the North Koreans have the ability to screw up our elections. To be honest, we should be terrified that they can (and do) create havoc in our civic discourse, by spreading false facts that incite and inflame.

What goes around, comes around?

This is the third time I’ve been “granted” the “Liebster” award.    This time, my nominator was Brenda Marie Fluharty.  (I bet she thought I didn’t pay attention.  Sorry, BM, my queues are long!  And, besides, this award goes hand in hand with the Ultimate Blog month-long marathon!)

I admit it.   I am one of those folks who engages in political discourse all the time.  And, with folks from every aisle.  (It’s no longer appropriate to claim there are only two aisles- since the GOP is split into at least five factions and the Democrats into at least two.  Plus,  there are fringe elements that are not represented in our government.  Thankfully!)

Ah, facts.  Long before our current president, we weren’t always meticulous about dates and facts.   After all, we did decide to use 4 July 1776  as the date we proclaimed our independence from Britain.  Even if the Declaration of Independence was issued two or three days earlier.  And, that means we celebrate our Freedom 241 years later today.  (Thankfully, it is not among those days that Congress, in its infinite wisdom [read as stupidity], elected to move to Mondays, affording a longer weekend. )  We celebrate the day with fireworks, with going to the beach, with barbeques, and with get-togethers.

7 years. This is # 1799.

It was 7 years ago today.

I had been sharing my take on sci-tech, business, health, and finance for decades before that day. Which meant my clients and friends were subjected to frequent (some would say incessant) newsletters, eMails, letters, publications- oh, you get it.
