We have been QuickBooks online customers for over a decade and for the last few years QuickBooks online has gotten significantly worse and the support is absolutely atrocious. This is my personal opinion in this review. This week things have really come to a head:
On August 25th, 42 team members received a duplicate payment. That was equal to about $55,000 deducted from our accounts.… read more “QuickBooks Online Sends $55,000 Out Incorrectly And Won’t Fix It: My Review”
Another highly unpopular opinion: Banning gas vehicles is a really bad idea.
California just passed rules that will ban the sale of new gas vehicles entirely by 2035 with a phase in period starting in 2026. Washington state, Oregon, and New York are all adopting the rule.
I know that there are very serious concerns about the impact of internal combustion engines on the environment.… read more “Banning Oil Is a Bad Idea”

This destroys our safety. All of our food and other products we use daily come from heavy trucking, shipping. All food is grown using diesel tractors, and oil derived fertilizer.
The only power strong enough to power these items even theoretically is oil or miniaturized nuclear plants. No battery even at it’s theoretical limits can power these.… read more “California votes to ban new gas car sales by 2035 – CNN”

Most people who go to college should not go to college. The US government needs to stop giving massive handouts to education special interests. College tuition has been skyrocketing in price, while the quality of education goes down. Administrators get rich, while taxpayers and students get screwed.
It’s time to dismantle the current system and allow new systems to spring up to replace them.
The root problem with the US education system is the same thing with the rest of US government programs:
There is no bankruptcy mechanism for government agencies.
Bankruptcy removes poorly run private companies from the marketplace. There is no such mechanism for government agencies… so poorly run agencies remain in place a hundred years after they lost their effectiveness.… read more “Fixing US Education”

Another sign of the apocalypse… Rome collapsed when its leaders resorted to huge political handouts to hold power.
The core problem here is that we allow 18-year-olds to take on debt that is funded by the government and cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. Eliminate all of the government lending programs for college.
Far less people should be going to college anyways, 18 to 22 is some of the most productive years of our lives and instead it’s wasted sitting in classrooms and getting drunk.… read more “Biden to Cancel $10,000 in Student Loan Debt for Borrowers Earning Less Than $125,000”
Judging a person based on their race is wrong. It’s wrong whether this is George Washington keeping a person as a slave, or if it is Joe Biden (who I voted for) hiring someone because of their race and gender.
The best person should be hired for any given job based on their merits. Imagine an NBA that was forced to hire 60% white people solely to meet racial (racist) quotas.… read more “All Racism Is Wrong”

Government Handouts during the pandemic led to Trillions in Fraud. This is the fundamental argument for capitalism and against socialism… Socialism inevitably is inefficient and prone to corruption because politicians are not good at allocating capital. Entrepreneurs however are very efficient and smart at how they deploy their money.
The hardest problems in life are best faced first and faced head on. Whatever challenges you are dealing with, work hard to solve them. If you let nagging problems continue, your whole life just gets worse. If you solve them, no matter how tough it is, then they are done forever and life gets 100x better.… read more “Solving Life’s Problems”
