I only had to fire TWO ! ,one MALE ,one Female ,both were much older than I was ..I was about thirty they were both in late fiftys ..
They had a problem with a younger boss. When I was 19, I had 15 employees to start with ! the biggest problem I had was MY age ,not managing ! Some older folks just cant deal with it ! The two that got fired ,one when I was 35 the female 60 and the male when I was 52 and he was 63 ….insubordination was the cause in both cases. defiance ! The guy said he was going to show me how to run this place….He had no idea who he was talking to !! It took me 1 second to show him the door ! Not too bad a record for fifty some years and thousands of employees …

I was not generalizing about women ,I was very specific about Jill Stein and Hillary and they are fair Game .they both wanted to be President so they need to be able to take criticism weather they like it or not ! Those two are both Greedy and corrupt ,I would be happy to have a woman President that was logical and competent and honest Margaret Thatcher was a favorite of mine ! Indira Ghandi and that woman from Pakistan who got murdered I forget her name were competent, weather I agreed with their politics dosent matter .So was Golda Maier of Israel .. AYN RAND would have made a great President ,her logical mind was incomparable ! .Its just like calling everybody a Racist that dont agree with Obama ..He is dishonest incompetent and disloyal …does that mean Im a Racist ? Thats nonsense ,I can think of some other Blacks that could do the JOB very well. I just want loyalty to America,honesty,and a reasonable level of competency.WE can look to the Military to find women & Blacks for Presidential material because they get GOOD training and mental discipline there ! I have had some very good Woman & Black employees in the past that I trusted enough to handle my money and continue to perform in my absence ! I was never disappointed ! Honesty,Loyalty and reasonable level of competency were all I asked ! Some worked for me for 25 Years ! I worked with more woman than most ,I had 150 women work for me about 15 % were Black ,some worked for my father for 40 years ! One time he had 600 women work for him ! Talk about experience ! I cant recall of any complaints of unfairness to women ,not once ! Some would leave my employment to have a family and would ask to return after 15 years ..They didnt do that just for money ,they knew it was a good place to work !
Over the years I had thousands of women work for me ,I have more experience employing woman than 90 % of employers.
I am not afraid to criticize a womens work or dishonesty ,but I never criticized them personally ,If they were dishonest or disloyal they didn’t last long .I have had two busineses and the average employee tenure was 16 years some as long as 25 years. 95 % woman….
I speak from experience ,not generalities !

The second “eye wall” of the economic-hurricane is approaching the global economy. Plain and simple. The “storm” started with gale winds in the Atlantic Ocean back in 1913, got closer to the US eastern coast in 1929 with 50-60 MPH winds.
By 1934 it was declared a hurricane with 75 MPH winds. By the summer of 2008 it had winds of 125 MPH and made land fall on Wall Street, made a big mess, and then came the “eye” of the storm. Eight years of blue skies, with zero interest rates and bailouts for banks and General Motors.
Hopefully, during Trump in ’17 we hit that next eyewall with 125 MPH winds and the final destruction era of the “fake man made economic system” that started in 1913, leading to a better world with more independent self reliant countries.
John Lenin’s “dream” and passage of globalization, was a FAR bigger mistake than Obama care.

Thanks, guys.
Farmboy, my herd wouldn’t leave these mountains, it is Paradise, don’t you know. Why, Mrs. Piggy and her two fawns suns herself in my front yard, waiting for her daily rations, along with Sweety and her fawn…and Mr. Handsome shows up from time to time…he has grown some fine antlers since last year and while he doesn’t come when I call him, he stops and listens…there is no doubt in my mind that he remembers me from his fawn days. For their sakes, as well as mine and Simba’s (my Snow Shoe Siamese kitty), I’m grateful to God for the rain.

but let’s not get Ororeef started… LOL !
Been following the Epi Pen rip off since I have a neighbor who is forced to hang on to her old epi pen because she could not afford to replace them at $600.00. Latest I have heard is the company is bringing the price back down. ?? That was no more a simple case of price gouging, in part due to Obamacant.

you have more rain on the way. 🙂
And you might want to check on your herd. Had 5 deer in the backyard this morning. All does, kept waiting for the buck to come along but no luck.
And watch your step, I had forgotten how slippery those wet leaves can be. Kinda get a different view of the world when suddenly your sitting on your butt. 🙂 Take care.

““He will probably be successful to resuscitate the American economy,” Mobius said in a Bloomberg Television interview in Singapore on Tuesday. “That’s good for everybody including emerging markets. His program in my view would be heavy infrastructure spending. Spend like crazy, build up a huge deficit that would be concerning to the rating agencies, which will help push the dollar down.”

I’ve learned a thing or two along my journey and one thing I know for sure is, without food you don’t eat. Interesting article, will have to find some time to look more into the topic. Another ‘black swan’ just hanging out there?

We’ll know by Sunday night if the wolf really is at the door this time
Jim Willie:
Italian Bank Collapse And Exit From Common Euro Currency
The Italians have a national referendum coming up very soon. The decision to push PM Renzi aside and to go on a more independent defiant path seems imminent. All his opponents have a common theme, to bail out the banks and to exit the Euro currency, which means a return to the Old Lira currency. The implications are staggering and lethal to the sovereign bond market in Southern Europe, since the PIGS all look alike. The dire implication is to the big European banks, primarily the French and German big banks. When the Italians flip the bird to the Euro Central Bank and their big bank masters, refusing to endure the financial rape as seen in Greece, the continent will undergo widespread tumult. Leaving the Euro currency must coincide with leaving the European Union itself. Key EU leaders are certain to leave en masse, much like in the style of Schultz recently. When Italy bails out its banks and leaves the Euro currency, the Western banks go poof and the USDollar dies.

“But in all fairness, I have often wondered the same about the American people”
A valid point. What will it take, hunger? mass arrests? to get Americans out in the streets? (in the not bought and paid for type of protest)

perhaps Richard640 can bring some views on the topic ?
But in all fairness, I have often wondered the same about the American people. Take just one, although there are many, the subject of illegal immigration. Seems Americans would have put a stop this, one way or the other, a long time ago. And I do imagine the folks in India will take a stand, at some point.

@ FloridaGold…Lots of rain has soaked the forest in my vicinity, I’m happy to report. No updates from the Forest Service on the 33 fires as of this morning.
@ Ororeef…It isn’t women who are the world’s mass murderers, they are all men: Josef Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Vlad (Tepes) the Impaler, Ivan IV of Russia, Pol Pot, Idi Amim Dada, Genghis Khan, Saddam Hussein, Emperor Hirohito of Japan, Attila the Hun. Take a chill pill on women already, it’s getting old.

I’d have expected there to be giant crowds out in the cities demanding Modi’s head. Instead, they seem to be accepting all the chaos and disruption to their lives. Something in their culture, religion?

India pulled 86% of its cash out of circulation. It’s not going well.
“Many experts don’t even have faith that this is an effective way to counteract tax evasion. Basu says that most black money doesn’t take the form of cash held in india but is instead held in gold, silver, real estate, and overseas bank accounts.
Modi is using a very crude tool to crack down on black money. For many, the costs are likely to end up more tangible than the benefits.”
