It's not hypocritical. Over the past year, I've seen my clients and friends get thrown under the proverbial bus by the state. From the NC Affiliate tax to incentives for big companies, the state has made it clear that small and micro-businesses ar...
Thanks Jason for clarifying who took the private property up in Connecticut. If you find the folks handing out the incentives and they seem amenable to giving you one, can you send them my way after you get yours? I need an incentive just to fight...
Tom, I can still hear the pounding of the pilings in my head from nearly ten years ago. Every morning I'd wake up in New London, Connecticut wondering when they'd ever finish constructing that project. Looks like it's finished now- for good.

- About my Business:
- I help business owners and individuals figure out how they can take advantage of the changes in the economy and markets. I have a background in economics that helps me target business financial services to fit the owners current needs for business insurance, business capital, all forms of business financing, and employee benefit plans.
My work and teachings in technology and innovation are applied in my investment portfolio management practice, to help owners and families make investment decisions.
You can see more about my products and services at my online store at www.gabby-press.com or at www.businesscapitaladvice.com
- About Me:
- I have been writing about how technology evolves and how new markets emerge for over 20 years. My early writings focused on how and why North Carolina's economic strategy would not lead to sustained economic growth. I finally gave up on North Carolina ever changing.
Most recently, I have been writing about a business model that allows unemployed scientists and engineers to use online web-based tools to discover ideas for starting a company.
I spend a lot of my free time figuring out where to go fishing next, and if the fish are not biting, where the closest bar is.

Beginning New Book. Equal Rights For All. Special Privileges For None: Principles of Government For A New American Democracy
Introduction
In the late 1880’s, an organization of American citizens, primarily farmers from the South and Southwest, recognized that the existing system of agricultural debt peonage was unfair. Because the banking system did not create money in the form of currency, the farmers did not have cash to pay for supplies. The debt peonage system allowed the farmers to enter debt contracts with wealthy bankers and merchants at the beginning of each growing season to borrow money to pay for seed and… Continue

Borrowing From Meteorologists On The Use Of Real-Feel Temperatures To Describe The Real-Feel Labor Market Misery Index
A common descriptive technique used by weather forecasters and professionals is to modify the actual ambient outside temperature by adding humidity. The result is a better indicator of what the outside temperature “feels” like to humans when they venture out.
