Labor Week

UNITED STATES—This is something that I have been eager to talk about for quite some time, however, I wanted to fully gather my thoughts before tackling such a controversial issue. There is no secret in hiding the discussion any further; it is all about the vaccination melee involving the Coronavirus. Do I get vaccinated or do I not get...

UNITED STATES—What does it take for you to realize that you have done too much? Would you have to pass out after work from exhaustion? Would you have to have your entire body in aches and pains? Would you have to fall to sleep and not realize that you slept the entire day away? There are a ton of...

UNITED STATES—If there is anything people know about me, it’s that I love a great adrenaline rush. For me, I get a lot of that adrenaline rush from roller coasters and thrill rides. I recently had a trip to Cedar Point, the greatest amusement park in the world if you are asking. The rides are endless, the thrills some...

UNITED STATES—I really can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’ll be honest, I am SO GLAD I am realizing this. I recently had a day off from my busy work schedule and as a result I literally stayed in bed all day and watched TV. My body was aching from physical labor from work where I had a strained...

UNITED STATES—Someone talked about something on my local morning news that struck me like a million bricks. The cellphone can create large amounts of stress. He even chatted about his mission to simply stop answering text messages that people have sent him, to prevent getting stressed out. It hit me, I do have a lot of anxiety when it...

UNITED STATES—There has been so much conversation in the past 18 months about the workforce in America and how so many businesses are facing an extreme shortage of workers. There has been plenty of talk that the extra $600 and later the extra $300 a month in unemployment benefits was a direct reason. The argument can be made that...

UNITED STATES—We have heard the saying time and time again, “Money is the root of all evil.” However, is that actually true? If I’m looking at the people I know and the family dynamics I have recently encountered, without a doubt, money is indeed the root of all evil. There is no point in us discussing the rich getting...

UNITED STATES—The decision made the United States Supreme Court on Monday, June 21 in regards to compensation for student athletes, the NCAA and the collegiate universe is a game changer to say the least. I have been championing some form of compensation for student athletes at the collegiate level for years. It is indeed a dicey situation, where I...

UNITED STATES—I know, I know, I probably should have written this column last week when Father’s Day was actually being celebrated, but I’m glad I did not. I’m glad I waited because I do believe plenty of father’s get ignored or don’t get the same level of love or respect they deserve like moms do. I do feel like...

UNITED STATES—There has been this discussion of cancel culture for quite some time now, but it does feel like things are becoming tense and tenser to the point that is beyond concerning people. How can I best define cancel culture? It is like policing free speech, but to a point of extreme that is almost at times unfathomable. Here...
