Rebellion

When a disaster strikes, the person in charge had better be ready for a rebellion in the ranks and among the affected.  The questions are:  How come you weren’t better prepared?  Why didn’t you foresee the danger?

Serious

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket company has been a joke by comparison to Elon Musk’s SpaceX.  No longer.  Its New Glenn rocket soared into space last night successfully to the cheers of its controllers and technicians.  Blue Origin has an ambitious schedule of launches planned and it will be a feat if it succeeds.  What […]

News that a ceasefire might be imminent in Gaza is welcome to both sides.  However, neither the Israelis nor Hamas have spoken directly to one another.  They are using intermediaries to carry messages back and forth.  One wonders how the two sides can maintain peace when they don’t trust one another enough to enter the […]

McDonald’s is the latest corporation to roll back diversity initiatives in light of a Supreme Court ruling.  The company is apparently no longer afraid of a PR backlash and lawsuits.  It also might be responding to President-elect Trump’s vocal criticism of DEI programs.  Whatever the reason, beneficiaries of inclusion are being left in the cold.  […]

Big Promises

Puerto Rico’s new governor is making big promises to her island citizens to improve infrastructure, especially power, which is highly unstable on the island.  Her constituency will hold her to them. By all accounts, Puerto Ricans are worn out by a lack of basic services on the island.  They want change.  It is an opportunity […]
