Credential Friction...

I've been forced offline by work. Been slammed. Tenants disappearing in the dark of night have a way of leaving me a lot of work, more so when the property is out of town.

But, here is a little something to say I'm still around.....

Wisconsin spurred by the public is fighting for its future as are the Wisconsin unions. One lit the path taken while the other lights the way forward.

The Madison Blues:

However much money the public sector unions fling into the maw of Democratic party politics, the old system is going down. Workers will actually do better in states that act quickly; the longer the day of reckoning is postponed, the higher the bill will be, and the more savage and draconian the cuts will have to become.

But if the blue social model and 4.0 liberalism are losing, what will take their place?

• 1. Protectionism

• 2. "dismantling minimum wage laws, a full scale assault on private labor unions, and an aggressive deregulation of as much of the economy as possible. "
  

• 3.

  To put it in a nutshell, the only way forward for the United States is to unleash the full transformational power of information technology in the knowledge and service industries even if this entails (as it surely will) the destruction of the current institutional, bureaucratic and guild-based systems on which we currently rely.

It seems other states may follow Wisconsin's modest lead, though the history of the US is that of pragmatism which will likely lead to a little of each of the above.
