Finally, a political explanation I can understand.
The greatest country in the world with a population of 330 million and this is the best we can do?

gratitude
In a recent post, I mentioned a coaching class I was attending. In this class, students (agents) are given weekly, personal assignments, designed to help them grow, dynamically and financially. In many ways, the advice, or required curriculum is doing what you already know you must do to be successful, difference being that in this…

Not the minutiae of a nuclear reaction or crypto-currency, but the humanities and sports were topics I could navigate. If talk…
