The Rules

A collection of rules I made and keep revisiting to remind me of them and help me avoid making the same mistakes.

Christmas

There is no point of arguing about the religious value of Christmas vs the commercial value. I think one stop at any mall (the ones left standing) the few days before Christmas is enough to make the point. If that did not, maybe the talk about black Friday and Cyber Monday can.

Cars and Trucks

I noticed that the first thing that you see when you drive into a rest area is a sign that direct cars one wan and trucks the other.  I wish there was one in Starbucks, for people.

The Bugle Sound

Today, on CNBC, I watched the New York Stock Exchange commemorate veterans day. They had a bugle playing and soldiers saluting. I think that was a very considerate and the right thing to do. My only problem is, they just sent bunch of soldiers (1000+) to Syria to, exact words, “protect the oil fields”.

Netspend Prepaid Card

One of the measure of civility of a nation is how it handles the week in that nation. By the week, we mean those who are at any form of substantial disadvantage.

The Analysts

Prices of oil have suffered some volatility recently due to an attack on oil production facilities in Saudi Arabia.  But attacks or no attacks, the price of oil from here is moving up or down.

Smile Direct Club – SDC

Today they went public. Then Kyle Wailes and David Katzman, the co-founders, were interviewed by cnbc. They were asked about the risk and complication of orthodontics care.

Content Creators

“Companies” are competing for content. We have Roku, a company with zero benefit to human kind, valued at 20 billion and that is cheap.

Doggy Bags

There is nothing more attractive than an girl coming into the Starbucks with doggy poop bag on her waist. If that didn’t brighten your morning and warm your heart, I do not know what will.
