Bipartisanship Needed To Fight The Return Of Global Slavery
America needs true bipartisanship to fight the return of slavery around the world and right here at home. I built a business from scratch without any outside funding or partners that now employs 270 full time employees, and the study of economic and political systems has been a big factor in my success. Slavery comes in many disguises, but is at its root the loss of individual freedom to choose what to do with your life.… read more “Bipartisanship Needed To Fight The Return Of Global Slavery”
Stock Market Hours Need To Be Reduced
The stock market is essentially a giant auction for shares of stocks. The fact that it runs 5 days a week all day long everyday means that at any given point in time there are only a few people willing to transact.

How Britain’s pension scheme hedge became a trillion pound gamble | Reuters
This is literally theft. Everyone in British finance knew exactly what was going on, but did not care as the financiers got annual bonuses in the millions or tens of millions.
