America’s Psychosis (and the Corporate Cure)

I wrote this. And if you don’t agree with me, you’re wrong. — As the son of a lifelong politician, I never wanted to enter the field.

So for me, politics has always elicited…

This is sad.

This is sad. And all too common. The biggest reason I spend little time on IG and no time on FB. Western Christians struggle with a God of mystery. Which is why they camp out in the Epistles because it provides a 'to-do" list. But Moses, whom God called a…

Stakeholder Capitalism needs a better name.

At its cultural core, America is pragmatic. The first settlers came for opportunity. Those that followed pushed west, grabbing as much as possible.
