I have this sign this posted in my office. It has been there for over 25 years. If you don't believe what it says just ask the companies that made the Buggy Whip, Carburetor, 8-Track Cassettes, Atari, etc...

Next time you vote ask yourself if the people in office (Local, State and Federal) have changed or are they there for their own self-interest.

When I first read this quote by Dr. Deming it reminded me of one of my other favorite quotes by Charles Darwin:

" It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most adaptable to change."

Perhaps, that is why the cockroach has survived so long (320 million years) on earth.

Federal Elections should have their own day and Process

The elections are over and I must say I'm totally disappointed in the election system of the United States. So many differences in the way to vote and extending counting days and mass mailings of ballots when not requested are just a few examples that are asking for problems.

Federal Government elections should have their own election day and the process should be standard for the country.

State and Local elections should have their own day and each state can set their own standards/processes for their state.

President Trump:

You blew it with your tweets and attitude. You could have been one of the best. The first debate sealed the deal for those voters sitting on the fence.

Covid Memorial at Senior Community - Why so many??

As I sat in the in the back patio of what was my mother's senior home community I listened to the more that 70 names being read aloud at a memorial for those that have passed during the pandemic known as Covid.

April 16th was the day my Mom passed and I wondered WHY when I arrived at the home that an ambulance was there bring a patient back from a local hospital to continue being treated at a separate wing in the nursing home portion of the community.

I also questioned WHY the two make shift facilities in Metro Detroit that were specifically set-up to help the hospitals were not being fully utilized and are now gone just like the Mercy Ships in New York and California.

April 25th - "Detroit Free Press stated - Both local field hospitals for coronavirus patients — at TCF Center in Detroit and Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi — are open and treating patients, but the pace of admissions has been slow.

At TCF Center, a nearly 1,000-bed field hospital in the former Cobo Convention Center, 14 patients were being treated Saturday and a total of 34 patients have received treatment at some point in the last two weeks. At Suburban, which opened for patients Friday, two patients were being treated at the 250-bed field hospital."

This is a key fact - "The state paid nearly $8.2 million each for six-month leases at the two convention centers. The cost to build out the TCF center was $9.4 million. The cost to transform Suburban into a field hospital wasn't available Saturday."

WHY is it always about MONEY $$$. Is it possible Nursing Homes are getting paid by the state to take in patients?

WHY -
