Seeing your business from another side of the cube
The financials your accountant uses are basically tax structures. Keeping
profits low means lower taxes. On another side of the cube, the same data can form a view of business for
selling, or evaluating price for a partner buy-out. |

Engineer Dominated Companies Too much and many of our American companies are now sales, rather than product,
based. (Always remember everyone is in the service business.) Has time come for the Engineers to triumph over
the Yappers? The economic lifetime of companies and how my structure looks at keeping the Engineers, who
make us money, in charge of a company as long as possible. |

Normalized Forms of Business Flow
Each type of business has a normal optimum small business size. Normalized
businesses are more about continual profits than growth appreciation. In the entrepreneurial arena it's
about building to the correct size while creating structure to sustain, not grow, the company for many
additional years. |

Several Intersecting Requirements
of overhead, Sales Volume, and Minimum levels of administration
Seriously,
what does it comes down to in the simplest terms? A smaller size company may be easier to run, produce adequate
profits, and, as the owners are involved on a regular daily basis, much more efficient. We'll look at planning
and budget models, meetings, decision making, quality of employee, and other parameters. Two main issues which
push the sales volume to a minimum yet cannot be circumvented with things like working harder: the cost of the
computers and technology maintenance, and the cost of qualified personnel.

Training the Peripheral Services
to Work with Modern Structure
For people
like accountants, bankers, lawyers, Quality Control experts, advertising, computer services. The purpose of
a structure? To implement good decisions. The biggest problem? Keeping new ideas constantly implemented. One
of the big issues is training these people before too many installations are in use. It should be done in parallel
with the software devlopment.

The Life and Times of the new
American Manufacturing City
Answering all the deconstructionists
who keep asking how will we bring back American manufacturing. Here
are direct answers to what to do and the new attitudes that make
great products. It's the new capitalism where production is more
important than selling or making spreadsheets to act important. See
it sez so right here. Really it does. I wrote lots of notes in the
borders to explain eveything. We can always market it and hire a
great sales force. See? It sez so right here.

Industrial Policy
Industrial policy is now about as far
away from industry (as meaning manufacturing) than in the entire
history of economics. Our policy is to let bad industrustries merge
with other basket cases until they form one giant usless entity.
Money is allowed to control everything resulting in the government
approval through either a useless industrial policy or just no
industrial policy. what should be a real industrial policy and
how should a new capitalism be born on the ashes of the old and
out-of-date economics. Yes, the current bunch of self-important
people have to go - these are the spreadsheet (accountants) and the
yappers (salespeople). Bring back the engineers and entrepreneurs if
you want growth. Now there's a policy.

The Theory
of Wealth and Time
Intellectually wealth is a very fluid
yet recoverable resource. Not really: you can only consume in the present. This theory, originally written in
1982, has held up to actual practice 100% of the time. You can build or destroy wealth, but you can't do that
for time.

The Four Economic Uses of Taxation
Ninety percent of taxation discussion only concerns selfish, emotional issues. The other 10% is about the proper
use of taxes to administer an economic society. If anyone ever presented the budget without getting their two-cents
out... At least here you'll see the four uses of taxes. How well they are spent is another issue. (RP)

Warrior Religions as a Means of Control over Warriors
Warriors, by definition, are violent people. Certainly both Christianity and
Islam contain the appropriate tools to keep warriors from killing each other within their own society. Why
did religion take on this role at particular times in history, what changed? Why did both the Vikings and
the Arabs adapt the same use of religion 400+ years apart? |

Political Lessons of Ruwanda
The disruption
of long-term normal political structure in Ruwanda through "democratic" elections provided an opportunity for
the ruled majority to rain death on the previous leadership strata and temporary disruption to the normalized
structure. Since most of the administrative intellectual ability resided in the Tutsis (who promoted the best
Hutu to the Tutsi group), the main tool of ruling for the Hutu was violence.
In the
end, the renormalization of the control/administrative structure must set the everything back to what it was
before the "democratization" of the society: The Tutsis had to regain political control over the Hutu for peace
to return.
What are
the lessons from Ruwanda that should be applied to Iraq? Can imposed normalization of leadership work
in the face of naturally occurring hierarchies.

Dilution of Power in the Republican Party for Current Power Holders
With the increased participation of
"evangelicals" in the Republican Party, control of the goals will change to represent the middle class where
evangelicals live. Republican legislators will sense the pressure and different laws reversing the
entrenched attitude about what is best for the country. This is an internal change within the warriors and
may not be under the control of either the ruling wealthy class or the intellectuals.

Insistence of Intellectuals and Warriors to Define Others in their Own Images
It's no wonder they cannot talk to
each other.
Opposites Don't Attract - They Are the Same
Project,
project, project... Always make sure you only see others as you would see yourself. Intellectuals like to talk
endless logical streams to the warriors, who merely think all this rubbish is evil. Don't believe me? I promise
you will do something in the next hour that will prove the above. I would be amazed it it didn't. How annoying.
There, that proves my point. Haven't had these thoughts in the last hour? Think again.
Warriors,
in particular, frame everything in good and evil terms. Intellectuals make only good temporary warriors when
the civilization is threatened, while people with black/white/day/night/good/bad thinking can sustain the concentration
of being a warrior much better in the long run. Besides, societies cannot afford to have their best minds occupied
with maintaining the troops. How does this mindset affect daily life for the warriors? How can intellectuals
learn to communicate in a manor warriors can understand?
Are you
always just seeing yourself? Is everyone the same as you? Are you the same as everyone else? What a mystery!

Inward Immigration 2008
Issues
Manifest Destiny ended circa 1970, which caused any increase in
population to start stepping on the toes of the previous generations. Because of this, warriors see
the immigration of Mexicans, who work hard and generally mind their own business, as a threat to
becoming conquered, which actually already occurred. |

Optimized Taxation Levels and Distribution
People's taxation issues in the U.S. just perceive a confrontational balance
between taxpayer groups resulting in emotional arguments. By examining the flow of wealth of "quick boost"
injections of wealth a pattern of normalization appears--really. We'd be going from "conquer the land"
perception to a "managing God's creation" , a vital step to allow taxation planning and optimization to the
taxpayer. Look at questions like: should the lower economic classes always be in debt? Is the debt interest
a form of taxation, just like government taxes? (Dec. 2007 RP) |

Christian Influence
Increases in a Volunteer Army
We see how the importance of what represents achievement to warriors makes them
the most easily recruited soldiers. Few other groups enjoys and want to participate in military activity.
This concentration of warriors automatically brings their religion - Christianity is by far the best
religion in the world for warriors - as they feel it provides an edge over the enemy. Several unintended, by
the intellectuals' view of life, consequences have occurred causing problems in our spending priorities and
foreign policy. We'll look at how intellectuals need to communicate with warriors to provide better
national administration and the responsibilities of each group. |

Beautiful Christian Mythology
By far the
best, Christianity allows for variations and new models, most likely due to they are warriors and the fragmentation
of Europe after the Norse invasion, circa 900 onward, that allows different perceptions, not just different
interpretations, in a very local manner. It's no wonder the average person in America believes in, and watches
in the movies, the supernatural as a natural process.
