Entrepreneurial Socialism: November 2005
http://leftwingbiz.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Digestible Rants on Small Business, Big Ideas, and Everything In Between. Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Tyranny of the Marketplace - Part II. To absolve themselves from any appearance of abject greed, we often hear a CEO, a securities analyst, a member of The Board, or some other pompous windbag say "We are beholden to the shareholders, and it is they who demand these profits.". Nothing could be further from the truth. It's those shareholder that made us do it. Posted by Frymaster Speck at 5:44 PM. Tyran...

Digestible Rants on Small Business, Big Ideas, and Everything In Between. Wednesday, October 01, 2008. A Call to Practical People. As the US Senate was passing the "Fail-out" bill, my Twitter network. Unlike him, I'm fine with this stupidity. Well, not fine, but I'll take it. So it is to these practical people that I make this appeal. I take it as given that some version of the Fail-out will pass the House fairly soon and that the 2008 election will put Democrats in the White House and give them majoriti...

Entrepreneurial Socialism: December 2005

Digestible Rants on Small Business, Big Ideas, and Everything In Between. Wednesday, December 28, 2005. Politics in the Third Dimension (P3D). There's a song by the band Shriekback called "Everything that Rises Must Converge." That's why how ole' John McCain could get so makey-outey with Russ Feingold, intellectually speaking, of course. Lemme splain. Totalitarianism's opposite - Democracy - ascends to become the north pole. (Santa, chillin' with the 76ers.). Policies, laws and, most importantly, outcome...

Entrepreneurial Socialism: January 2006

Digestible Rants on Small Business, Big Ideas, and Everything In Between. Monday, January 30, 2006. A Study in Contrasts. Let's not kid ourselves: mining, even under the best of circumstances, is a risky business. How businesses and governments approach that risk defines their approach to governance and oversight. Mosaic, the Minneapolis-based firm that manages a mine in Esterhazy, Sasketchewan cares enough to have installed "safe rooms" within their mines in case of fire. Thursday, January 12, 2006.

Digestible Rants on Small Business, Big Ideas, and Everything In Between. Sunday, April 23, 2006. Managers That Hire Undocumented Workers Get Jail. Well, we'll see what ends up happening, but there are some pretty unhappy manangers at IFCO. Homeland Security raided offices of the Houston-based, pallet-making company, arresting managers and undocumented workers. This Boston Globe story. Here's some comments between Tas and I. Regarding his post on Loaded Mouth. Posted by Frymaster Speck at 4:26 AM. Teams ...

Entrepreneurial Socialism: March 2006

Digestible Rants on Small Business, Big Ideas, and Everything In Between. Wednesday, March 08, 2006. Why Google is Google. I have had, heard and read far too many conversations about Google not to share these thoughts. Many in the financial services industries and the associated press say repeatedly that Google is prone to competition from existing and future players. Well, duh. Has been since day one. What's the point? The point is that any time they feel like it, Yahoo! The answer is simple: management.

Digestible Rants on Small Business, Big Ideas, and Everything In Between. Saturday, April 26, 2008. A Second Life for Entrepreneurial Socialism? Like I don't have enough blogs already, right? Will I've had some thoughts percolating in my little brain and this seems to be the place to make it happen. Likely, I'll move this over to my servers and run it on Wordpress. Just FYI.
