David's Philosophy Shop: Wage Away our Dreams: America's High Gap and Low Morale

Saturday, May 23, 2015. Wage Away our Dreams: America's High Gap and Low Morale. Get this: America's wages have actually decreased if not stayed the same while the National Gross Domestic Product has increased. This is a huge problem in America that is commonly known as the income gap. I think in order to fix this nationwide problem, America needs to change its economics from top to bottom.

an Apple a day...: 4/20
http://www.onlyanappleaday.com/2009/04/420.html
In light of the events of last week, I thought it was only fitting that on 4/20 I spark the debate. Let’s start with a question from President Obama’s “Open for Questions”. Forum held on Thursday, March 26. With over 1 out of 30 Americans controlled by the penal system, why not legalize, control, and tax marijuana to change the failed war on drugs into a money making, money saving boost to the economy? Do we really need that many victimless criminals? Ryan Palmer, Dallas, TX. Mr Obama’s response:. A pass...

We Don't Need no Stinkin' Dogs! From Falcons to Eagles, Michael Vick is flying high again. The only thing better than one scrambling QB is two scrambling QBs. I find it very interesting how Vick’s comeback has been foreshadowed for weeks. For the first time with the Landstown High School Eagles. 8/9: Vick’s mentor, Tony Dungy, said:. 8/11: When Chris Mortensen asked Philadelphia Eagles Coach Andy Reid. Dan Shannon, PETA director of Youth Outreach and Campaigns. 8211; Philly faithfuls have been upset.

If this were Feudal Japan and I, being a loyal follower of the emperor, badmouthed him – even after he made some very questionable decisions – my only option would have been to fall on my sword – 切腹 or 腹切り. My dissatisfaction with the organization continued when they brought in a young (officially the third youngest coach in NFL history. And thanks to McDaniels' indiscreetly sniffing out Jay Cutler's trade value, the Broncos became the first team in NFL history to willingly trade an under-26 stud QB, set...

Archive for 11/1/08 - 12/1/08. The Giant Pool of Money. When the financial crisis first hit, I found myself grappling as much as my students were with the complexities of our economic system. Though I am a homeowner and realized that many of the problems stemmed from so-called "mortgage-backed securities", I honestly could not figure out my own place in this meltdown. That was until I heard the economic terms contextualized in narrative form on a public radio program, This American Life. As students got ...
