let’s make some ..

Posted on Posted in Carp Fishing, Koch Sucker, overnight notes, the fora

after the posting, the investing. after gossip is…

after barbs come barbed wire.

America knows how to make a war. You need war we’ve got it

On the spectrum… the silicon rainbow includes all the shades of greed.

getting beyond making conversation .. Ideas start between mind and paper, frequently involving walks

wealth comes from wealth . pandemics come from arrogance … The arrogant believing they were smarter than they are .. pandemics feed on the ignorance … the tax dodging wealth didn’t solve Covid … it wasn’t capital, it was the resources of labor, the pool of investment money that comes from labor .The tax of the middle class kept democratic science alive, and willing to distribute knowledge without requirement for profit, return on investment …

Capital [ kodak Who for refresher]–claim of the … no skin in the game [chuckup]

… labor is the only skin in the game … it is their skin, and sweat in the shop.

The chuks can’t see The facts before them. the facts found reading with open, accepting eyes. Instead they see it through their bias; turning the (mis)reading into evidence of your failure; their correctness… The mark of capital.. of prejudice of scale, and bias that their experience has always been more valuable than anyone else’s… their grand summaries of business, of their experience, reveal their prejudice, and their miss-judgments.
These factors explain why they wind up at this point-place. Why they’re changed, grown by small amounts: they follow strawmen to a dead end.. their consulting, hopefully, was about buying routers, not about business routes, business plans.. their sample examples aren’t even theirs; couldn’t have been from their experience, instead coming from their superficial readings of  years ago; from a time when they were 30.

 awareness becomes illusion… more so when you’re trying to convince someone else you’re attempting to gain control of a group you exert added claim to overcome them.

as your knowledge thins out your reinforce it with repetition with pronouncements with exaggerations of experience even going far enough to claim other persons experience as your own…

you feed the Warhorse on strawmen.

after everyone has given an opinion on the headline, perhaps it’s time to read the story; review the facts, consider opposite interpretation… Consider not hanging the messenger for your myopia.

people pick one word and expand upon it particularly if that word is a person .. someone they dislike more likely a symbol of their dislike.

as likely. topics become entry analogues for the person’s monologue.

everyone wants to be relevant none more so than the amateur  who has never been relevant never noticed in their field never noticed in their craft … they fight over the small opinions, the scraps. Where does the fight in the scrapyard arrive?

The know it all’s that do little make the biggest mistakes.

Your first action reveals your past ability.

not even an imaginative mea culpa 

Chuck: “THEN all we’ll hear is about the horrors of “the man”, “greed” and all the rest of it so popular these days from people with no skin in the game.” “I’ve done my share of consulting in large (or even very large) businesses. You see this all the time. When something gets really big, people lose sight of whom they serve and what their larger mission is. The preservation of the status quo becomes more important and leadership hunkers down in “protect” mode. That was true at Kodak, but it is equally true of many large institutions including big business, big church, big government, big charity, big entertainment …”

[ wonder who he skins; (until another time)]

Spirit of Honesty. Behind the report is the person. SEC reporting. Kodak reports critically, but with dropping share price makes clarification. Seems that owner culture tied to stock comp means we explain beyond the rules. We engage in optimism sales talk.

FujiFilm doesn’t do that. They are prepared for the persistent ocular-secular perception of being “inscrutable” — they file and say to all the same thing. Without so much as a Chatham rule.

NBR link to stock Kodak vs. Fuji and publication of financial data to be used by investors. What they are buying, including elements of hazard the company knows. The open hand of the west, but only the east accepts in letter and deed .

When you bought your house, you didn’t move it. It isn’t a couch. Same with buying a business. The sign changes. Perhaps as easy as adding: “A Division of ..[your name here]” — No bull dozer. No bullshit. Perhaps this is something only those in the “ology” fields perceive. The demi-quantz miss most of the actual questions. Must be biology, or such — so much for degrees of meritocracy.

“… They are indispensable instruments of our modern civilization, but I believe that they should be so supervised and so regulated that they shall act for the interests of the community as a whole.”
