Big Red Car — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 17:28:40 +0000

The country has been treated to a civics lesson demonstrating that individual states are run by duly elected governors and not the wise men in Washington, DC. With the advent of COVID19, governors have emerged as the leaders tasked to run their states in accordance with how this really works. Governors are elected to run […]

Fair Comparisons — WutangCurse By The Numbers

Big Red Car — Wed, 01 Apr 2020 06:50:50 +0000

Public opinion is driven by emotion. Emotion should be based on facts, but we suffer from an inadequate body of data and an unwillingness by the media to report the facts fairly and accurately. Honestly, I think the media is not smart enough to be able to make the right comparisons and the lens held […]

Blowing Sunshine

Big Red Car — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 14:24:13 +0000

Blowing sunshine? Huh? Big Red Car are you losing it? Long ago and far away, I used to borrow millions of dollars and jam them into real estate projects of some size and complexity. That meant I worked with a lot of banks. I had to use banks who were outside Austin because the local […]

Big Red Car — Fri, 27 Mar 2020 16:08:37 +0000

There is a very interesting Brit-blooded pal of mine who operates out of Chile, keen observer of the human condition. Here is what he sees from Chile: “Good to know you are OK, I am too. Here is my report. Chile and particularly Santiago was in a very unstable political situation since October 2019 when […]

Lives In The Balance — Damn You, Nancy Pelosi

Big Red Car — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 21:40:02 +0000

Today, the United States Congress House of Representatives returned from recess during which the US Senate stayed in town to do the people’s business. In their absence, the US Senate proposed, negotiated, and passed a relief bill to address the WutangCurse pandemic. There was plenty of perfidy on the part of Democrats to try to […]

No Perfect Leaders

Big Red Car — Sun, 22 Mar 2020 21:28:10 +0000

I have been in the leadership business since I was a cadet at Virginia Military Institute in 1969. As an Army officer, we were not converted into “wartime” CEOs, our constant context was war. That was what we were trained to do. It is like nails on a blackboard when I hear venture capitalists describe […]
