Point of View

UNITED STATES—Monday, November 11, 2024, is Veterans Day. For most Americans they get the day off, but not many understand the importance of the day. The federal government offices are closed, the banks are closed, no postal main runs, and many state government offices are also closed. It is NOT A DAY OFF, it is a day to celebrate...

UNITED STATES—Have you ever wondered why so many sports fans in San Francisco are turning to digital games for entertainment? In a city buzzing with technology and innovation, it’s no surprise that gaming—particularly online and mobile gaming—is finding its way into the lives of people who traditionally enjoyed sports.  Let’s dive into how digital gaming has woven itself into the...

UNITED STATES—I do believe that a person’s bad energy can impact your good energy. I know a person who is just fueled with bad energy all the time and it literally drives me nuts. The first thing that always seems to come out of their mouths. The moment you indicate frustration verbally or visually they act like you have committed...

UNITED STATES—Damn, I cannot wait till November 6. Why? I am sick and tired of the political ads that I am seeing in the swing state I live in, as the national media puts it. I was baffled and I mean baffled to hear that certain states are NOT seeing anything close to the bevy of ads that if...

UNITED STATES—It is October, and we’re less than two months away from the biggest spending day of the year, Christmas. So, the question of the hour remains; have you started your Christmas shopping or are you waiting? For me I used to start early, like late August, mid-September.

Yes, there are many, and with that comes more spending of money, more time being spent with people and plenty of...

UNITED STATES—It has been argued for years that breakfast is indeed the most important meal of the day. As a youngster, I would argue that was never the case. I couldn’t tell you how often I would skip breakfast as a kid. I just didn’t feel like eating super early in the morning. That might be a direct result...

UNITED STATES—Weight loss medications became all the rage last year, and they’re still growing in popularity. Touted as a medically-backed way to reduce as much as 20% of a person’s weight at a quicker pace than traditional weight loss methods, they continue to experience strong sales. A Reuters report thus finds that the market for these drugs will be worth...

UNITED STATES—Has your data ever been breached? Well, mine has and I can tell you it is NOT a great feeling, not in the least. It was so bad that someone tried to file a tax return using my social security number. As a result, it caused a massive delay in a refund I was expecting from the government...

UNITED STATES—It is no secret that I have trouble sleeping at night despite me doing everything in my power to try to make things better. I work too much, I do too much, I’m always busy to some degree, I don’t drink caffeine, and if I’m lucky to get four solid hours of sleep I can function, but it's...
