Steve's barking at the face of businesses

Who are the faces that the customer sees.
If you go to a bank, the bank is represent by the teller or the loan officer, not the president or the CEO of the bank.
Go to McDonald's, and you see the cashier and the cooks, they are the face of McDonald's, does anybody expert those interested in finance even know the name of the executives of any of the fast foods.
The face of cars are the salesmen and the face of department stores are the associates again not the CEO.
If any of these people give the customers a bad time, business is bound to suffer.
My advise try anyone running a business try to make your employee feel pride in the business and that the business has pride in them.

What some businesses fell to realize that their employees are  (potential) customers and (potential) great or terrible advertising.

Steve's barking off shore tax reform

For all those companies that are baste off shore, what ever is sold in the US declare 20 % profit and tax the corporation on that.
Everybody talks about tax reform but nobody does a thing about it.

Steve's barking what is middle class pay

Every body talks about the middle class as some kind of income statement, yet nobody defines what middle class pay is.
Does it start at 35,000 dollars a year, or maybe it's 50,0000 dollars?
What is the top of middle class pay 100,000 dollars, or perhaps it's 250,000 dollars?
What we have here is a failure to communicate (define) what middle class pay really is.

Steve's barking there are more people working this month then last month------so what

More jobs were created in the private sector this month and then again more jobs were created last month.
Is everybody happy? Not the person who just got a job for 20 hours and needs to work full time to pay the rent. Not the person who just got another job to go with the two other jobs that they have to feed the kids.
Not the person who just got a full time job and still needs food stamps.
Oh but those labor statistic people are, look more jobs have been created.
Maybe some of those people who believe that all able body people must work and not depend on government charity (God fearing people all).
It all comes down to new job creation don't mean a thing if ain't got the swing to be able to live off the wages from the job.

We may be living in that Peter Pan statistical world Never, Never Land. (Huh).

Steve's barking, there is only one way to create jobs.

There is only one way to create jobs, that's by hiring people.
If your town or city needs teachers you hire teachers. If your area needs to repair it's roads, bridges and the like you hire people. Giving tax breaks doesn't guaranty anything except more money into circulation.
Maybe that money will be used for spending, and possibly create jobs for it's possibly that the extra money would create a demand that will be only for filled with more workers. It's also possible that putting more money into circulation would only result in inflation with no job creation what's so ever.

Steve's barking at poker with Putin

I won't want to play poker with the great Russian leader  poker player Putin.
How do I know that he is  a great poker player. Just look at the Ukraine.
First he knew how to put his own dealer in. Then he knows how to protect the dealer, so when there are other games, his other dealers aren't afraid of being caught. He can read others to know when they have the a greater hand then he. He knows how to appease his backers, for one mistake his money men could lose their shirts, and they will not be happy with that. No matter how good a poker player you are in big stake games, so you need big stake backers.

During the cold war the US would lose battle after battle that our presidents constantly were criticized, but in the end the world won the war and our leaders didn't look so incompetent after all.

Steve's barking the best health care in the world (?) stinks

I keep hearing on the boob tube that the United States has the best health care in the world.
I'm not going to debate this question but I'm going to say flat out the US health care system stinks.
(1) A health care system can't be any good when one third of all states budgets are used for health care.
(2) A health care system can't be any good  if it adds an expense on to industry. This was true even before the affordable healthcare act.
 (3) A health care system can't be any good when it losing hospital beds. What happens if there is a terrorist attack or a pandemic.
(4) A health care system can't be any good when there are more doctors retiring then are coming into the system even as the population grows. There isn't enough money for teaching hospitals.
(5) A health care system isn't very good if it held hostage by politicians, even if some of those politicians are doctors.
