I was Thinking About The #GOAT Conversation And Concluded That We Have Gotten It Completely Wrong!

I was thinking recently about the #GOAT conversation & concluded that we have gotten it completely wrong. To talk about an individual GOAT in a sport that’s purely based on teams is an illogic & minimizes & discriminates against the other team member’s efforts. The fact is that Michael Jordan and “KingJames” don’t play & cannot play without a team. To talk about them as the goat belittles the impact of the other teammates who are necessary for game play, & game action. When we talk about GOATS in @NBA it should be about the team NOT A person. NBA is not tennis or an individual sport. We may talk about @serenawilliams as a goat because she is part of a team of one & doesn’t share her titles. #MJ & #LBJ rings are not their own, it is only representative of the teams title/s or championship that they played on or with. Yet we belittle the team by obfuscating— Singling out the few over the many.  In effect, The mentality of elitism & status finds it’s wa...

How Credit Card Companies Impact Your Credit

#Capitalone is the worse #creditcard anyone would want to have. This is according to a very disgruntled former customer who came to me at The Neoliberal in an effort to share his story which we find credible after our investigations. Indeed, the customer stated that they’re unscrupulously strategic in terms of how & when they report to the bureaus & will freeze your account so that you have zero utilization if your credit improves which lowers your score new score & eventually continue to keep you as a customer with them. When they get wind of your improved credit position, they become nervous as customers usually leave to take advantage of better cards with lower interests and breather benefits or they usually have to lower their rates and offer more benefits so as to not loose you. But they’d rather not offer benefits but continue to take advantage of keeping you as a dependent customer.  He reiterates that Capital One is the worse company ever! He then started to sha...

How Companies Can Respond to the Growing Changes in Work and life in America

The events of 2020 have ushered in a new norm. The world is shifting in terms of how it works. The "COVID-19" pandemic, "Black Lives Matter Movement" marching for equality and against police brutality and the rise of "White Extremism" in America culminating with the US Capital attack by "Domestic Terrorists" have created new fears, health and security concerns and highlighted economic disparities, which have resulted in tectonic changes that is defining the way companies conduct business. Further this has led to a rise in American individualism and creativity in terms of how they are responding to the structural changes in American society that has largely disadvantaged the poor or working class.  Years ago Hilary Clinton said that “leadership at the center is softening”, in that there isn’t any prolific dynamic or power that makes all the decisions and control activities and drive success given the realities and anxieties of our century...

Caribbean Thought: How did Moise become President? Haiti and American Dictatorship

Video Link Re Haiti's History of Foreign Penetration  Black people are among the poorest and most impoverished peoples of the world today. Why is that so? And there is no example of any country today that’s govern by black, brown or (Latin) African people where there is no instability or underdevelopment. In the book Neoliberalism Globalization Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance, we look at international bureaucracy as a strategy that continues to benefit some groups and countries at the expense of others and the countervailing forces within systems that mitigate and dilute any “ineffective” strategy of Resistance for change.  Black people today continue to be ruled through military or economic force even after they have achieved independence! This is in addition to the fact that many New World Black and Brown people are not inherently free but live as people whose freedoms are granted as a privilege by their former white masters who continue to benefit from Their white...

“Black And Brown Peoples” Should Not be rich.” The Other People Should Be!

It’s ok for the dispensaries to sell weed, because they call it Medical Marjuana which is legal. Taking advantage of the law that allows them to do so as they work in concert with politicians to kill the competition or Black and Brown people’s economic activity which is called street weed that they have criminalized and “illegitimatize”. Thereby, affecting the lives of those who can’t obtain ownership of dispensaries without having to meet criteria that the politicians in back rooms with lobbyists and capitalists, bankers and the special interests have made impossible or difficult for those “hippies”, Black and Brown people who don’t have certain ties that dispensary owners have. Such as certain connections, race and entitlements.  What a conspiracy and plot that they have enacted to regulate an activity to drive profits for the few over the many obliterating Black enterprises and wealth in this regard.  This strategy highlights my hypothesis/assumption in fact that “Black and...
