Fire Matt Nagy Please

 Sports

The Blackhawks finally won a game after firing Jeremy Colliton. So long overdue. Regardless of what happens the rest of the year, they have now handled everything from the awful sexual abuse claims to bad coaching. Maybe the rest of the games will be watchable again.

The Bears play tonight and it's clear that it looks grim. The Steelers are playing well and the Bears, well... you get the picture. The sooner the front office fires themselves and Matt Nagy is one step closer to being competitive as an organization for the first time since the 1940's and 50's. Will I watch a little bit tonight? Of course.

Movies 

Two very different topics today. Yesterday I watched a few serial killer documentaries and I was baffled by how many of these things exist. Full disclosure, I do not have any streaming services so seeing someone else's TV with 3 or 4 different ones exposed me to so many more shows and movies. It felt like every single option was involving a crime-drama plot. Are we really obsessed? These individuals are sick and evil yet they sell very well. Someone has to be watching all of these.

On a better note, Spider-Man: No Way Home finally released a poster 38 days from the movie drop. Still no official trailer which is hopefully coming soon... 

Personal

I encourage everyone to spend sometime this year creating a family tree (depending on personal relationships with family of course). It fascinates me to trace back hundreds of years of relatives and to then Google pictures or stories from that time period to get a little glimpse of what life was like.

Business

NFT and crypto currencies are the future. No more debate. Young(ish) adults, teens, and kids are poised to take these two concepts to the next level. It is a direct threat to the banking establishment and older adults have no idea how to counter this concept due to a lack of 1) technological skills 2) understanding of the frustration many have towards the powerful institutions 3) turning a blind eye due to their current power. Embrace modernity and Catgirl coin.

The Pendulum Always Sways... or Does It?

The belief in the United States is the balance of political power will always be present. Throughout our history, the opposing party has never been "wiped out" so bad in an election that their party's future is destroyed. Just take a look at my lifetime: 1. Republicans won solid majorities in the early 2000's and the White House in 2004 2. Democrats won supermajorities in both chambers and the White House in 2008 3. Republicans won majorities in the House in 2010, Senate in 2014, and held all 3 in 2016 4. Democrats won back the House in 2018 and hold a narrow majority in 2020 5. Early indicators on the 2022 midterms seem to have Republicans roaring back to power in 2 of the 3 chambers This trend is not unusual. Despite the most popular Presidents in the US's history helping their party for sometimes 10-12 years (think FDR, Kennedy, Reagan), the opposing party comes back strong.  I heard the phrase "don't worry, the pendulum always sways back." But wi...

We Are the Product

There were two interesting topics I wanted to talk about but one will wait for Monday. I settled for us being the product in a new AI world. This concept has been a sci-fi thriller for decades but always seen as "in the distant future with flying cars and alien travel." That reality is now here, or scratching the surface of it. And it has been here for a decade, if you realized it or not. The mid to late 2000's saw two products change the way we interacted with the world: social media and the touchscreen smartphone. Both of these concepts used us, the user, as the product. Social media had no product except the user posting information to other users. The touchscreen allowed us to use our fingers to control the product with apps tailored for us with information about us (photos, contacts, texts). At the time, these two remained separate from each other due to limited capabilities of the mobile phone (first iPhone had no app store, limited web functions, no 3G, etc.) Socia...

There's a Crash Coming...

The market dropped yesterday and that trend will not change. Stocks and Cryptos are both down due to one decision: the Fed raising rates. Why? Well, when the Government spends trillions without adjusting for debt you get rampant inflation. Combine this with the Fed injecting trillions through quantitative easing and you get the worst inflation in 50 years. By raising the rate and buying back some of their debt they injected, inflation will crash. The issue is so will 401k's and investments. If they do not raise rates, inflation continues to increase but your 401k is saved. What is more frustrating is this was predicted to happen by anyone who has take a high school economics class. Our economy is hanging on by a thread for some and others are ready to scoop it all up. Just make sure you're buying.
