People Port Welcomes The U of M's New Business Dean -It Is Institutionalized Slavery


I learned all about the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) from the the U. Real Estate covered parts, business law covered some, In M.B.A. the whole thing. The U understood I was an inventor.

I came equipped with many toys, whose proper name I was clueless about. One was Monte Carlo simulation. Today, I understand -most big league schools would do what ever it took- snagging that person. Not the U. Turning that into a Miami based software firm, a great project. No. After graduation, one of the firms sponsoring at least one pupil bragged it did use it, for a while. I solicited Corporate America, every way I knew how.

Fast forward, At a deposition, I was asked, If I read a Monte Carlo book, No, I wrote it. Then, my Dad, Judge Swanko, was dying, Microsoft, was busy with work arounds (a macro is an engine). They, and everyone else could not have done that without the expressed consent of the U. See, right then, they were claiming I was still a student, they were training me for something big. My lawyer did not want those problems, I tried to reason with the U -no response. They are still at it, so is the new guy. The are cheered on by phrases, They all do it. Part of corporate life. No, it is institutionalized slavery. Fixing it would require at a minimum, changing bankruptcy laws.

Our Government Works Secretary Mabus Is A Good Example


Base closing is never easy, close Louisiana's Avondale Shipyard? Senator Landrieu, might like those jobs. She may want you to add jobs. Not be paid to move on. That is exactly what happened. The Secretary created an incentive to keep the shipyard open. Our nation needs every last one we can keep.

He came up with that solution and -Lets cut the Navy's energy use in half. As our Navy has done throughout this nation's history, it is leading the way. While becoming a better fighting force.

Holder: Stop Whining -Start Reading

Our top cop is whining. "I would have to read 100 reports a week..," the Justice Department's most essential mission: protecting the American people.

Our cities, counties, and states are confronting a once-in-a-century financial melt-down. Your job is helping them meet their challenge. At the same time, July, 2010, you set up the Advisory Council for Savings and Efficiencies. Let us not forget Guantanamo Bay, the Healthcare Fight, Trust busting, and your speaking engagements.

In that light, reading a hundred reports a week is nothing at all. Why can't you read them. You are the person telling them what you need in those reports. America and Congress knew you were shorthanded when you joined up. While personnel problems may have eased, It is your job to make sure you have the right people in the right job.

Our Justice Department is not an R & D outfit. Fast and Furious was much about whizz-bang electronics instead of shoe leather. Moving the cases out of Arizona is a start, however, that will not get a the root of the problem. Your job is to make damn sure your department is not violating a victim or suspect's rights, while the investigations are spending millions of dollars. With all that in mind, reading 200 reports does not seem like too much to ask, Sir. Here is some help:

Permissible Hiring Reasons People At The Top Are Allowed:

He is my friend

I always admired her (work, ethics..).

He was highly recommended.

If they do not work out, I tried him/her out, Wrong position. Part of being the top person is gaining control over your budget. You can only do that with the right people. There are many books on management. The athlete derivatives are normally bad, the love wolf entrepreneurs are normally good -because- they do so much more with less. Notice my emphasis on self-learning. Not trusting education right now.

Here are some bad reasons to keep an operation going: A non R&D firm claiming We spent too much money to stop. We have always done it that way. Gotta be guilty of something (heard that one on a police drama). But he is a great guy. My favorite, This guy is too good.

Please Note:

Sorry for the length. It does not belong as an article, because, Holder understood what he was walking into when he was confirmed.

Florida -It Is Time To Move On

If the Sons Of Confederate Veterans chase away tourists -it is our Government responsibility to fix the problem. How they wound up with that piece of land is not the question, Why has our State Government not swapped that piece for another that can be used as a real war memorial with gift shop and all the extras tourists expect.

Shame on the Sons Of Confederate Veterans for not including an American flag at their private war memorial. What is the world to think? It is great that it was built with private dollars. A lesson we all can learn from.

There are war memorials all over this country. Another one remembering those that fell for the South is not too much to ask. Time to move on.

WTI Contango: It Means Time To Make Money

We are dealing with another economic crisis. The WTI contango. If true, it will threaten our national security. From the charts, it looks real. Congress tried addressing it.

Senator Landrieu saw the US merchant fleet idled during a national crisis. She joined with Senator Murray in an attempt to create legislation mandating the use of US Flagged ships during a National Emergency.

Things have broken down that badly? Ports are a local issue. States do have some input and the voters can elect anyone they want. Come on, The Stregic Petroleum Reserve was open, that is a national emergency! Dummies in this country chose to use foreign flagged vessels. I do not like legislation. The idea that this is needed now is repugnant.

The long term solution must be economic, however, time has proved Senator Landrieu correct one more time. So I will endorse that bill. In the mean time, Wall Street will make a few extra billion, You and I will pay more at the pump, supertankers will fill our harbors because the computers caught an anomaly.

Obama Needs To Campaign

We are all better off when our President campaigns. He is easy to make fun of and he sharpens the issues. This election we will not have the benefit of a serious Democrat, with huge funds.


We have depended on the Republicans... We now have a Congressional Commission to deliver serious budget restraint. The August recess did not sharpen those issues keeping our economy on the ropes. Even Tea Partiers are asking their President to campaign. It may help some.

What it will do, Demonstrate to America he will not leave office if he does not get his four trillion in deficit reduction.

Our President's Speech

Addressing a Joint Secesson Of Congress, Our President will layout a new job vision. It looks to be a fairly comprehensive speach. I hope the President does not stick with his argument, He does not care if his deficit reducion position costs him his presidency.

I hope his speech does bring new light on the problem of the unemployed, bringing our economy back up to speed. He even wants to rebuild the middle class. That alone will bring back our economy, some. I wish he would lead the way in reducing the Corporate, Pesonal, Tax Rate.

Taxes need to be fair. Gimmics allowing one firm not to pay tax while another shoulders the burden -is unAmerican. Likewise, personal tax breaks for job creators, keep the tax rates high on everyone. Would a moderday Picasso, Walt Disney, or Zane Grey deserve a special tax break, No.

Forcing American firms to keep their investments overseas is just as bad. The current argumets, include gems, "They will just buy back their stock. Cause another collasp.'' Could be true in some firms, however, others will use the funds to invest in themselves. Many firms are run by competent managers.

Universities Have Too Much Power


As most of my readers know, I keep having run ins with my Alma Mater. Still has not stopped, never given a reason. I did track, as some guessed, the U's working with Nova on autism (retarded).

Why I needed to be broke for the last twenty years, I do not know and they are still at keeping me broke, constraining my ability to earn an income. I have told them for decades, I do not want to be a judge, any other elected official (would have ran, never needed you or any member of Congress, an Administration official...).

Their idea of helping a student is taking whatever you produced the most money from, arraigning a position with a firm needing your talents at a fraction of your pay. Great for the company, UM, might even work for the student, however, in my case, It has always had a huge negative.

The University of Miami, motto is it is all about the -U- that should be enough of a warning to those attending. Congress addressed their power when they wrote the law governing child soldiers. Their ability to limit one's liberty, choice, is awesome and it needs to be checked. Universities have a responsibility to their students, a student should be better off with the education (with a chance at use).

I have written articles on the web for almost three years. How those articles were overlooked, not understood, is beyond me. This does not include the numerous times I have tried to get the U off my back, find out what they were attempting to say, do.

As with most institutions, some elected leaders, when you disagree, they work to label you as crazy. Below is a recent article list. That has always been part of me -the U did not train, help me in any way, and has worked to limit reach, success, and my pursuit of happiness.

After twenty years, I hope no other innovative person falls victim, however, I do not know how to get them out of my life or limit their power. I would like to find out why, how, the proposed good, of limiting my income... All while protecting a student, was supposed to work. Who also got suckered is interesting, however, limiting university power would be a nice benefit.

What I wote when I had the chance

Documented the economy turnaround with "The Lights Are Coming Back On," 03/01/11

Pointed out problems at our boarder "Even Those Guarding Our Borders Need Ethics," 02/04/11

Documented boarder changes "Pleasant Change At Our Surprise Border Inspections"02/22/11

Documented the reasons US gold production is down "Yes, We Are Out Of Gold" 02/08/11

Why big oil was not drilling in "Drilling For Oil Is Too Hard," 12/07/10

Painted perception in "Have We Accidentally Gotten Back On The Gold Standard?" 11/23/10

Correctly pointed out economic turnaround, "It May Be Time To Hire." 11/23/10

Demonstrated business's ability to affect GDP, "Mariel Boatlift Expanded Demand." 11/23/10

Pointed out large innovative firms, "Sometimes Innovative Firms Are Large " 11/02/10

"People Port Special Report: This Mortgage Mess Is Easily Perfected." 10/17/10

Article detailing a few People Port accomplishments "People Port Is Saber Rattling." 06/22/10

http://peopleport-editorial.com

Note:
The U has not interacted, spoken, returned an email, letter... in twenty years. Obviously, the U and their facilitators goal, torment me until I wound up like the poor census worker that killed himself.

This is not the first time I have asked Congress to intervene, I am sure they will get around to it right after they solve the prospector/cow problem, As if they are not busy enough...

Problems Like Libya, Define Presidents


As the world's nations come to understand Libya, Bedouins. Libya unfolds, the internal conflict may not emerge until much later. This should not mean a need to prop-up the current regime, because, they had time to understand simple positive changes asked.

In this example, a son of the Libyan ruler. Thought he could solve their nation's problems. Today, 1000's fight, large numbers of Libyans can die because the world wants to take revenge on this leader and remind others not to violate human rights.

While huge numbers may think the cost in life is worth the fight, I argue life is too precious. Those saved lives may turn against the West anyway giving terrorists a place to train, prosper, however, the choice should not be imposed unless the benefit, in this case less total human rights abuses toady, tomorrow, is the probable outcome.

Florida Its Needs Libraries Operating



Our Tallahassee Leaders are following the voters recent mandate -eliminate government. We do need some. Many are upset our new Governor is doing what he said he would do. Now, the proposal for zero library funding is making its way through our State Senate.

Incredibly, some are cheering. Florida's local libraries were a linchpin in rolling back government. Need unemployment, go to the local library to apply. Need SNAP, go to the library and ask the librarian to show you how to file a claim. Florida's unemployment is very high. Many looking to themselves to solve their unemployment, use the local library to research self-made opportunities for employment. As Florida's, the Federal Government, shrink, our local Libraries are expected to grow.

Florida (and every other state) needs its libraries operating. Zero funding? Should the State's leaders seriously considering obliterating government's intrusion onto our liberties, tripling library services would still cause some seams to burst.

UM Is At It Again

Not taking time off, just have not been able to put out the articles. Yes, the U.M. is at it again, however, not waiting for two sources. I have been trying to sell a variety of firms the benefits of me writing about trucking.

Not looking for work at any of those firms, however, did find out I somehow applied at one of the gas companies. It has been twenty years U.M, If some how you are on the hook, tell in person, email, how that came about, What jobs I am allowed to work at, How much money I am allowed to make.

The U.M. has never been readers. They tend to sound more and more foolish. My readers would not believe I am retarded or loony. Obama (or anyone else) did not ask you to give me some special training for an upcoming job opening. As I have stated here over and over, If you cannot treat me like all the others you hired in the past twenty years, I am not interested. I have heard about the night guard at the junk yard, night guard at the R&D firm, night-time stocker... I do not intend to guard anything, work as a teacher, daycare, or run for any political office.

Surely, if I wrote, worked for, Obama, He would not want me or anyone else working for free. When the U.M. worked on the Gulf Oil Spill, they got paid, Their income was not interrupted because they volunteered (grants count, I would expect the U.M. to use my application for any grant as an excuse to highlight my lack of an undergraduate degree), It cost me big and according to the Administration, all those fixes came out of the White House.

Green Job Producers Need To Get Real

Once again green jobs are trumpeted. Once again cost is ignored. Check your math. Right now, homeowners, businesses, are installing solar water heaters, panels, at fractions of costs cited. Technically, do-it-yourselfers do not expand the GDP.

They do tend to demonstrate both sides numbers are fuzzy. While one side bashes recent grants for green jobs, the other touts the progress. Those grants, are too little... Ignoring green successes is just as foolish as over-grabs.

Nevada could use dozens (as many as it can hold) more geothermal plants. Should California, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, utilities not show any interest, ask others. With lots of freebees, Nevada should have been built out by now. Abundant natural resources normally means low unemployment, with Nevada, it could have been the emphisis on tourism. It cannot mean Nevada was picky about which businesses are allowed to operate.

Tea Party: Liberty Is Calling

Our Tea Party may have helped spawn this new, global interest, in liberty. Some blame Obama. Demonstrator have used Tea Party slogans as they peacefully walked into bullets.

Liberty is a common idea. The Tea Party slogans date back before our revolution. Does the Tea Party have an obligation to these new democracies.

Democracy struggling toward light, needs institutions. Those institutions will need building or rebuilding.

Our current budget battles seem tiny compared to building democracy's institutions. No one knows where the next need will appear, maybe Cuba, maybe... The Tea Party would do well to respond. Former President George W. Bush could be a great source. This Administration may decide to press the former president into use before the Tea Party develops a liberty response.

The question really is, Can the Tea Party take its place in history or are they simply AstroTurf Americans.

High Unemployment Is Changing Our World


Some see constitutional democracies growing out of the current turmoil. Referenced in Libya. That changed with Saif al-Islam Gaddafi address. The peace was broken, blood flowed. The unemployed were restless. Inflation with high unemployment, once thought impossible.

Had Libya's leaders focused on the unemployed, read some of the pubic discourse, they would have learned from the words used, Libyans saw Saif al-Islam Gaddafi as a king, a true leader. A King that could have solved their unemployment. Today, forget King, easy fixes are gone as each side sees a Libyan future without the other.

Many point the finger at Iran. Yet, Iran has had its own recent revolution. It would only stir passions at home, should they be caught gaming the unrest. So far, these uprising have not been the work of religion. Even in Bahrain, the common theme is employment and opportunity. The initial segmentation is religion. The problem is unemployment.

Way To Go Napolitano


What a difference a week makes. Our Customs people reeked confidence. Those lucky enough to see your Border Inspection, know the bad guys are not amused. Lines moved swiftly, Dogs and agents asking questions are keeping commerce flowing.

Our Federal Reserve Leads Again


Women in finance were thought to be rare. Our Federal Reserve has gone the distance to demonstrate there are plenty. Chairman Sheila C. Bair proved very capable during this crisis and people began asking were are the women.

Chairman Bair set a very high bar for anyone. Many compare how she guards her small banks as a colloquial substitute for a bear protecting her cubs. The Feds actions today will should make women in finance, boilerplate.



Great move (Our Federal Reserve's Diversity).

To What Extent Did Politics Influence The Attack On Congress


Massacres are not new. In this past election season, At least one candidate stated, There were crazy people around when the Constitution was written, Guns are Okay at my swearing in, If elected. The San Antonio Tea Party boasts Jerry Wilson, he signs his name, Live Free or Die Fighting.

Most Tea Party sites offer condolances to those families dealing with the massacre. Their sites are full of hot rhetoric. They do not seem to understand their Constitution is our Constitution, that for more than two centuries, we preferred ballots over bullets. When the far left was blowing up America, most made no constitutional claim. They attacked government institutions, not Congress.

If media reports are accurate, this attacker did not regularly listen to radio, far right programing and the like. His paranoia was focused. Public officials close to the investigation have made a loose connection between the shooting and the rhetoric, there is blood in the streets, who we are as a nation, is at stake, Congress needs to investigate.
