The Undercover Boss Show Makes Some Interesting Points by Walt Barrett
I'll be turning 80 in May and that gives me over 65 years of working experience because I started to work very early and never really retired. I worked on farms and logging camps starting at age 12 and in the mills starting at age 14 and all the while I kept going to school even when I had to go to summer school to make up for failing grades because I worked the three PM to eleven PM shifts in the mills and did not always have enough time to study. I don't ever regret it and always look back fondly at those early years of my crazy, but interesting life. In those days the guy who did the job the best and made the most money for the company usually became the boss and he made more money too. You didn't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out early in life that hard work, good ideas and experience paid off.
Now let's fast forward 65 years. We see some very well established companies getting in serious financial difficulty because they are making very basic and fundamental mistakes. This is due to very bad leadership and academic snobbery just for openers. There is a TV show where the boss of a company goes undercover and proceeds to tour his company branches while discovering terrible problems on top of problems in the various branches of the company. The "Boss" always finds that there are several people that are trouble makers or just don't care and do not belong with the company to begin with. He also finds that there are one or two very key people that are carrying the operation on their backs and are at the breaking point. This is very typical of many large and small businesses. Why is this happening? Well this is my opinion. Ordinary workers need to have hope and confidence in the system. They need to see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. Too many companies promote from out side the ranks insisting on all kinds of degrees and diplomas which are all well and good, but not totally necessary. Then to add insult to injury you have to take your best person on the production line and have him or her train the new "Boss" anyway. This can be very discouraging to your good and loyal employees and once they develop the I could give a rat's ass about the company because they don't give a rat's ass about me anymore is where your problems really begin and the attitude spreads quickly. That's why we have so many union problems in industry today. Which would you rather collect, a lot of fancy diplomas or a lot of first class employees that you trained from the ground up who really are loyal, enthusiastic and are putting out for the company? Some people got it and some people ain't! Getting the job done, keeping your employees happy and making the best possible profit for the company is the name of the game. It's the only game! If you have poor working conditions and are underpaying your employees then you are only fooling yourself and it also makes one wonder what kind of humans are these kind of bosses? Encourage your employees to further their own educations and help them in any way that you can. Then if they still can rise above the crowd it's on them. Always remember that all of these "Human Resources" people are not geniuses when it comes to hiring, firing or building your product or business and the same goes for sales people too.
Unless you are a total dumbbell you should know what is best for your company. You always lead by example. There are no short cuts and absentee management is exactly what it is!

My Slippery Sliding Eyeglasses Solution by Walt barrett
I'm just one of those people whose eyeglasses won't stay on and it's an annoying problem and sometimes the most simple answers are right in front of our noses or should I say right behind our ears, but it only took me 80 years to figure it out!
I solved the problem by making a simple set of friction grabbers from two elastic bands. They don't slide any more - It works for me!

Mr. President And Congress Let's Put It All On the Table by Walt Barrett
Why do the Elderly, the poor, the sick
and the underprivileged have to be the one's who always take the cuts? I expect
the next election to be a veritable blood bath! If it isn't then the American
people deserve what they get! We are the biggest suckers in the world. We have
to stop picking up the check for the entire world.
All we really need here is jobs, some decent management, and a strong military. We don't need boots on the ground all over the world either. These upstart countries need to learn that if you declare war on the USA you lose your Electricity, food, water, sewerage, and fuel supplies. It's pretty had to run a war sitting there in the dark starving and rotting in your own filth and the best part is that we would not suffer thousands of casualties that then are denied proper care in the VA hospitals!
I served in the military and I know what I'm talking about.
Don't we ever learn anything from History? Are we all supposed to be stupid?
If the government is going to play budget games and politics with our Jobs, homes, businesses, medical, medicine and other benefits then let's put EVERYTHING on the table and stop all foreign aid and fighting foreign wars. Quit wasting our tax money so we can take care of business here at home. Let the rest of the world solve its own problems for a change. Next election I'm for voting all of these privileged people out of office and letting them try making it in the real world without big money in back of them and see how they like it. If being a "World Leader" means being constantly broke then I'm against it. I have often said that you cannot rule the world while standing in financial quicksand. Many have tried it and they all have failed. Look what happened to Russia! Everyone that I know is disgusted. We are not Santa Claus and everyone should email the president and congress and tell them to quit screwing around, clean up their act, or get out! The president should sit down with these people now and talk this problem out. Too many people's lives are at stake. It's time to put it all on the table or go down. We don't need more taxes. We do need to stop wasteful spending and trying to run the world because that is an expensive game and has destroyed many governments that preceded ours!
Make your life mean something other than a passive existence and for God's sake stand up and be counted!

TV News People Are Turning Into Editorializing Bullies by Walt Barrett
I just watched a TV network news reporter interview Mr. David Keene who is the president of the National Rifle Association.
Mr. Keene is a real gentleman and I must say a very patient man who knows how to handle himself when it comes to disrespectful media people. The Reporter was arguing with him over second amendment rights and was being very rude and overbearing like most reporters are these days. I don't know why the news media for that matter even bothers to invite any guests on at all these days because the reporters are always rude and are stepping all over their guests answers, cutting them off and always trying to force their extreme left wing views onto their guests. All these reporters are really doing is sitting there editorializing their own opinions and those of the networks.
As a point of reference, I like the Center myself.
Although the news media does not totally run this country yet, remember that they would like to. They would like to re-write our constitution, decide our elections, and dictate our foreign policy.
The news media is getting way to disrespectful toward certain people and organizations who are trying to do their best under terrible conditions. They also give out far too much sensitive data about our military operations and they get in the way in combat zones and can get our personnel killed.
I am tired of news people with an agenda who hide behind the same constitution that they are trying to deconstruct. Believe me, the founders knew what they were doing when they wrote it.
News reporters act more like bullies than real journalists.
I don't see them pointing out that if that Connecticut lunatic murderers mother had locked her guns up we would not even be talking now. My heart goes out to the victims, but we should be enforcing the laws that we already have on the books.
Lets not let the media rush us into so extreme set of gun laws that we will all regret in the future.
