GM backs away a bit from it Electric Vehicle (EV) strategy. Manufacturing capacity was there. Sales was not there yet. If anything, this foray into EV manufacture will give them a chance to regroup. It takes time to recast their manufacturing capabilities for each year’s model change and what manufacturing facility will produce it. Usually, […]
The high school my wife and I attended in East Tennessee back in the early 70s offered both home ec and shop. She took home ec, but I didn’t take shop. Shop was power tools and home ec was domestic skills like cooking and sewing. The Boston Globe just published an article that reminded me […]
I broke this comment by Deb Schultz (comments section “Traditional Medicare Open Enrollment is Now”) into three different segments to emphasize each part. Deb and I talked once before. I agree with her comments. It is worth reading so you understand the issues. Please read. ~~~~~~~ “Is this open season for Traditional Medicare available only […]

Maybe this fits and maybe it does not. Every time I read about another trumpism, my mind goes back to what Welch said to McCarthy. “”Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness.” When McCarthy tried to continue his attack, Welch angrily interrupted, “Let us not assassinate this […]

Some more of Tru_p’s travels. This time to southern Asia to include Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, then Koreas and Japan.
