Why Companies Need to Fail. A Letter to the "President."

Dear Mr. President,

Please stop bailing out companies with my money.  You see, I believe it is necessary for companies to go out of business.  It's like survival of the fittest in the business world.  It's nature's way of clearing out the unproductive, and rewarding the good.

For instance, while I was sad to see Circuit City go, I have no doubt that it's competitors such as BestBuy saw an increase in their revenue.  So while Circuit City employees may have lost their job, I'm betting that Best Buy needed to hire a few to handle the additional customers.  <~~~~  Just click here if you don't believe me.

Another example is Bed Bath and Beyond.  While I loved to stroll through their aisles, they were extremely overpriced, and people knew it.  So now they are gone too.

Again, more people get their news from the internet than from print.  That doesn't mean you get to use my money to save newspapers.  Those companies will either need to adapt or move out of the way.

You see, you can't keep every company open.  It doesn't, and shouldn't work like that.  In essence, you are ruining competition among businesses.  Competition is what keeps prices down, customer service good and the consumer happy.  If you keep giving unproductive companies who mismanage their money bailouts, you are essentially making us pay twice for the same product.  First to purchase the product at an inflated price and then second when you give them our tax money as a bailout.

SO CUT IT OUT!  GO RUN THE GOVERNMENT PROPERLY AND LEAVE PRIVATE SECTOR ALONE!


Thanks,
Wendy

This is How I Think We Can Save America #tosaveamerica

I actually have been considering this for a long time, so here are my thoughts...

• We must teach our children responsibility and accountability.
• To blame other people is to make an excuse for our own bad behavior.  It is a justification to continue laziness and an excuse not to work on problems.  
• We must know and understand our history and WHY our founding fathers founded America.
• We must know why government, when given too much power, will kill the spirit of it's people.  Government must be reigned in and controlled with a heavy hand so that people can remain free.  
• We must band together so our voices can be heard.
• Read, tweet, blog, meet.  Don't leave it up to others, we must all work together to turn this around. We can't think that someone else will stand up and say something.  We must all do it so that we are heard.
• We must look past headlines of ALL news organizations, do research and find the truth.
• We can no longer take news for face value.  We are no longer in the times of Woodward and Bernstein.  Today's reporters are just that... reporters.  They mind-numbingly regurgitate whatever they are told to.  They are afraid to find and report the truth.  I don't know why, but they are.  They are doing a disservice to themselves, to us, and to America.  They should be ashamed.

Demon Sheep or Sleestak?

I finally watched the demon sheep video (below) about 10 minutes ago.  It was hilarious!  If you don't have 3 minutes to watch the video, then scroll to 2:20.

I think if I looked in a mirror, I would still have that same dumbfounded look on my face.  What the heck was that????  Who approved that ad?  Someone, somewhere, watched that video and thought it was a good idea!  Maybe even 2 people did!  I hope not 3.

And who is narrating that?  I thought Paul Frees from the Haunted Mansion had already died!  Did they bring him back?  And where did they get those red eyes?  If Carly Fiorina wanted an ad like this, should have raised a little more capital and put it towards the quality of the ad so it wouldn't look like a remake of the Sleestaks in Land of the Lost.
