CURRENT EVENTS

MSNBC begins to pay the bill that’s been coming due for a long time.

Our take: There is no such thing as a free lunch. No matter how long you hang around the buffet, at some point you have to pay the tab. MSNBC and many other liberal leaning outlets are facing the sticker shock over their gluttony at the dessert bar over the past several years.

Let’s get this out of the way up front. There is no way for any journalist/commentator/human being not to have some type of biases. Unfortunately, we are all flawed human beings, and carry our own experiences and beliefs with us, which inevitably skew how we see and process the world.

With all that said, anyone who wants to have any credibility will at least try to see and report things objectively. Our friends in the liberal media, in an attempt to chase ratings, popularity, and money, gave up on this approach more and more over the past several years. At some point, the gravy train reaches the final station and you have to get off the ride. That time has come for them.

Here are just a few issues that come to mind when we think about these people gaslighting the American public in an attempt to virtue signal to their tiny audience who have been rocking back and forth in their parents’ basement and doom scrolling social media: “mostly peaceful protests”, Joe Biden has never been more cogent, Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation, Russia Russia Russia, Covid started in a wet market or you’re racist, men can become women/women can become men. You get the point. You can only lie to people for so long before they stop listening to you. We have reached that point withe mainstream media. If they don’t embrace the new world, they can join the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, because they will be extinct soon.

Republican candidate threatens Muslim congresswomen to virtue signal to voters.

Our take: Good lord. Florida state senator Randy Fine is running for congress to replace current Congressman Mike Waltz, who was picked by president elect Trump to be his national security advisor.

Fine decided it would be a good approach to label himself “The Hebrew Hammer”, threaten 2 muslim sitting members of congress, and end his rant with the hashtag #bombs away. Woof.

We understand the situation between Israel and Hammas is highly emotional. Thousands of innocent people on both sides of this conflict have lost their lives, and the world is on edge due to the very real potential escalations that could come out of this. We would argue that it will take tough but rational leadership to work our way through the problems there to bring them to a peaceful conclusion and stop the killing on all sides. Threatening people and puffing your chest thousands of miles away while seeking a position that allows you to vote to use military force against the rest of the worls is at best a bad look. Hopefully someone gives this guys some smelling salts and wakes him up. This approach is a loser for sure. Fine losing the race may be the best possible outcome if this is the best jusgement he can demonstrate.

ROI on Master’s degrees is negative in over half of all degree earners.

Our take: Personally, we earned a BS in Finance and started an MBA program years ago. After looking at the work involved in completing the MBA and the trajectory of our career, we respectfully tapped out of the MBA program and focused on building our career.

Fast forward to present day. With the rise of AI, many white collar jobs will likely be replaced by AI software in the coming decades, reducing the opportunities in the white collar world, and reducing salaries for the roles that do exist.

We are not anti-education at all. We believe that the more facts and information you have, the better decisions you can make. That includes when you are making decisions on where you invest your time and money to grow your career. People should think carefully about spending hundreds of thousands of dollars (or borrowing hundreds of thousands that have to be paid back) before jumping headlong into a program that puts them on a financial hole before they get out into the world and making their way.

Education can be a good path to a solid career, but so can learning a trade, starting a business, or joining a company and learning how the business works through hard work and experience. There are a lot of options to explore. People should be eyes wide open when making these decisions and carefully consider the consequences of their decisions. College is not for everyone.e would “work to reform
