Did a color run in the rain with a 6 year old. Let's just say the colored powder does not go well with rain.

Tell me you’re a runner, without telling me you are a runner.

You've hit on a really fundamental point that applies to many aspects of life, from individual
relationships to businesses, and even global challenges. When we're competing with each other
instead of working together, it can lead to a host of problems:

AI told me this.

Wasted Resources and Duplication of Effort: If everyone is trying to solve the same
problem independently, resources (time, money, effort) are often duplicated. This is
inefficient and can lead to less optimal solutions.

Reduced Innovation: While some healthy competition can spur innovation, excessive
competition can lead to secrecy and a reluctance to share ideas. People might hoard
knowledge to gain an individual advantage, stifling collective creativity and
problem-solving.

I had the opportunity to volunteer for a Fun Run. I was assisting at the bubble station. Thought it was funny that the younger the kid the more they tried to eat the bubbles.

At 98 years old, Betty Lindberg continues to demonstrate that age is merely a number. This past Saturday, Lindberg completed the Publix Atlanta 5K in a blazing 59 minutes, 6 seconds, an accomplishment that topped her age group at the USATF Masters 5K Championships.

I seem to have a difficult time getting my race bib on straight when I have to put it on during the morning of the race. I really like early packet pickup.

A recession is a period of economic decline, typically defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, while a depression is a more severe and prolonged recession, often characterized by a significant decline in GDP and high unemployment.

Tariffs create economic inefficiency by distorting prices, leading to lost gains from trade.
March 29, 2025 at 5:15 AM
- Tariffs protect inefficient domestic industries, diverting resources from more productive sectors.
- This reduces overall economic efficiency and long-term growth potential.
March 28, 2025 at 12:01 AM
- Other countries often respond with their own tariffs, hurting export-dependent industries.
- Example: The U.S.-China trade war (2018–2020) led to lost exports, farm bankruptcies, and higher manufacturing costs.
March 27, 2025 at 1:08 AM
- Tariffs raise the price of imported goods, hurting consumers who pay more for products.
- Domestic industries that rely on imported inputs face higher production costs, reducing competitiveness.

While tariffs may save jobs in protected industries, they destroy more jobs in:
Export sectors (due to retaliation).
Downstream industries (e.g., steel tariffs hurt auto manufacturers).
Studies show the **cost per job saved** by tariffs is often far higher than the worker’s wage.
March 24, 2025 at 10:09 PM
A study by economists at MIT, the University of Zurich, Harvard and the World Bank concluded that Trump’s tariffs failed to restore jobs to the American heartland. The tariffs “neither raised nor lowered U.S. employment’’ where they were supposed to protect jobs, the study found.
March 23, 2025 at 11:06 PM
Trump is a proponent of tariffs, insisting that they are paid for by foreign countries. In fact, it is importers — American companies — that pay tariffs, and the money goes to the U.S. Treasury. Those companies typically pass their higher costs on to their customers in the form of higher prices.
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 AM
Mainstream economists are generally skeptical about tariffs, considering them an inefficient way for governments to raise revenue.

U.S. tariff rates vary by product. Passenger cars face 2.5%, golf shoes 6%. Trade deals can lower tariffs. Before 25% tariffs on Canada/Mexico goods, most trade was tariff-free under Trump’s USMCA.

Tariffs are typically charged as a percentage of the price a buyer pays a foreign seller. In the United States, tariffs are collected by Customs and Border Protection agents at 328 ports of entry across the country.
