Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today we’re going to talk about the constant battle of “Buy the Best” versus “Buy Cheap”. “Buy the Best” versus “Buy Cheap”? Yea. I think this is a constant battle that occurs in everyone’s mind whenever we’re at the store. There are conflicting ideals at work here: When you “Buy the Best” you are saying that buying the more expensive (possibly better) item that will provide better value long term […]

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays and I haven’t talked about Crypto in awhile, so we’ll ponder this question “Is Crypto Dead? (again)” Is Crypto Dead? (again) Sort of. Bitcoin (and Crypto) has had its death called for many, many times. There is even a counter. 2018 has been crypto dying a long slow death over the course of this year.

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again… so I’m just going to talk about The 2019 Los Angeles Dodgers. The 2019 Los Angeles Dodgers First things first, I’m not a super crazy analyst with metrics everywhere, I just call ’em like I see ’em.

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today we’re going to ponder “The Ideal Job“. Why a Unicorn? Well, “The Ideal Job” is kind of like the Unicorn in that people chase after it, but it probably doesn’t exist. That’s ok though. It’s an ideal, not necessarily something that can actually happen. I mean, every job has its advantages and disadvantages. However, just because your job is a certain way doesn’t mean it needs to stay […]
