Earlier, the TV had been on and I saw one of the endless political ads which have been assaulting our collective intelligence and trying us with a continuous waterfall of half truths.
Well anyway, I see this TV ad for a businessman who is running for U.S. Congress. He is successful with humble beginnings. He's running against a strong incumbent. Our business buddy is going to lose. Why is this happening? There is a better place for this guy!
Let's review: We have a successful businessman with a slim chance of being elected to Congress...where, if he wins and gets in, nobody will will listen to him, anyway.
This guy should be teaching business classes! I talk with business people, everyday, who don't have a clue! I talk with people who are opening new businesses with no advertising budget...none at all! I see business owners who work 10 hours a week (or less) and they pay their inexperienced managers $10 an hour...and they wonder why their businesses fail?
Oh, and when these businesses fail, their debts go unpaid and real people get hurt.
There may be a few self-made millionaires who teach at the University level, but I've been through the local university and never met any.
