Last week I lost my job. At 44 years of age I went from making about 100K a year to close to zero, minus a couple of small side hustles. This was “of no fault of my own” (their words), so I blame everyone else. I blame my company for throwing me away. I blame the governments, both local and federal for totally disregarding any economic outcome of their actions. Hell I even blame the Chinese, they couldn’t have prevented this whole thing. The person to blame for my temporary situation is me. I am in control of my own life and I dropped the ball.

So why am I qualified to talk about a whole range of subjects, such Finance, Health, Politics, money, and whatever else I can fit on to my soap box? I can brag about about my MBA and years in Finance, but we all know credentials are mostly meaningless.

I am someone who will present my arguments using facts and logic, not hide behind credentials. If there is an error with either my facts or fallacy in my logic, I will certainly adjust my viewpoint. This is what a thinking person does.

I am going to hide my identity for now, not because I am a coward, but because thinking and speech is almost illegal now. If/when this site grows I may change my mind, but as of now I will go by the name Truth be Told. I like the name, sounds like the bad guy in a Batman Comic…
