Because You Don’t Understand It Doesn’t Mean It’s Wrong

Image
We live in an era where soundbites are consumed faster than meals and judgments are made before a thought is even complete. The internet has given everyone a microphone, but very few use it to listen . We’ve reached a point where “understanding” has been replaced by “agreeing,” and if you don’t fall in line with popular opinion, you’re automatically labeled as wrong, misinformed, or worse—dangerous. But here's the uncomfortable truth: because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Let’s talk about Donald Trump and his controversial stance on the Russia-Ukraine war. From the very beginning, his views have been met with outrage, mockery, and flat-out dismissal. He has called for de-escalation, has criticized the billions in aid sent to Ukraine, and most notably, has refused to villainize Russia in the way much of the Western world demands. He’s repeatedly said that if he were in power, the war wouldn’t have happened—or wouldn’t have lasted. People scoff. The media ...

The Greed of Salespeople: When Selfishness Costs the Company

Image
In the world of sales, competition is inevitable. A good salesperson understands the value of ambition, drive, and the hunger to close deals. But when that hunger turns into unchecked greed—when a salesperson would rather see a company lose a client than allow a colleague to help—it becomes toxic. This mentality is more common than many business owners realize, and it’s one of the silent killers of customer relationships, team morale, and long-term profitability. It raises an important question: Is the pursuit of personal gain worth sacrificing the company’s success? The Selfish Sales Trap In high-stakes sales environments, it’s not uncommon for certain individuals to hoard clients. They’ll ignore a customer’s needs if they aren’t available to assist at the moment, actively sabotage colleagues’ efforts, or refuse to collaborate even when they know another team member could better serve the client. This behavior stems from a dangerous mindset: • Territorialism: “That’s MY cli...

The Healthcare Order That Exposed the Industry’s Greatest Scam

Image
In the midst of America’s deeply flawed healthcare system, one of the most revealing executive orders in recent history came from an unlikely source—Donald Trump. Regardless of political leanings, his 2019 healthcare transparency order did something that should have been done decades ago: it pulled back the curtain on how hospitals and insurance companies manipulate pricing to the detriment of the average person. While this order did not fix the system, it exposed a deeply unfair structure that has been gouging Americans for years. The Order That Forced Transparency The executive order required hospitals to disclose their negotiated rates with insurance companies, as well as the cash prices for common procedures. For years, hospitals have been allowed to operate behind a thick veil of secrecy, where patients are billed astronomical amounts with no clarity on how prices are determined. This was no accident—it was the product of a well-designed scheme between insurance companies, hospita...

Why Valentine's Day is the Worst Day for Restaurants (and What to Do Instead)

Image
Valentine’s Day is supposed to be a night of romance, fine dining, and quality time with your significant other. But if you’re planning on celebrating at a restaurant, you might be in for a night of frustration instead. Behind all the heart-shaped desserts and candlelit tables, the reality is that Valentine's Day is one of the worst days to dine out—for both customers and restaurant staff. Here’s why: From the Customer's Perspective: A Rushed, Overpriced, and Stressful Experience Long Wait Times (Even with a Reservation) Think you’re safe because you booked a table two months in advance? Think again. Valentine's Day is one of the busiest nights for restaurants, and even with a reservation, there’s a good chance you’ll be waiting. Tables turn over slower because couples linger, and hosts are juggling walk-ins trying to squeeze in. Overpriced Prix Fixe Menus Many restaurants eliminate their regular menu and replace it with a special “Valentine’s Prix Fixe” meal. Sounds fancy,...
