Kofa Kush Love

Most importantly I am all alone in a big wildlife preserve and that’s the essence of Kofa Kush Love. Find out why in Kofa-Kush-Love-Bob Davis Podcast 1050.

Shorter Trips Longer Stays Free Camping

And of course I am getting used to short trips and longer stays.

Certainly free camping is also the order of the day.

No One Else Around

But it isn’t very often you get to have a place like this pretty much to yourself.

Doing Nothing

Therefore I’ll use this opportunity to talk about taking the time to do nothing.

Back Home In Pressure City

Firstly back in the world many people are feeling the pressure of day to day life.

Secondly the stress of the world seems to be getting more and more intense lately.

Yes It Is A Plan

In addition doing nothing doesn’t seem like a plan.

But it is.

Desert’s Weird Hum

Above all I am giving myself the time to listen to the silence of the desert.

While spending quiet time with myself meanwhile.

On the other hand back in the so called world things aren’t so calm.

Could I go Back?

In fact I am not sure I could go back to the day to day.

That is to say there is something about the opportunity to be silent by yourself.

And these days we don’t often get that opportunity.

In short this is a story I hear over and over again from nomads.

In the same vein the solitude and peace is one of the main reasons many have chosen this life.

Weird Stuff Going On

To sum up I don’t think it’s wrong to say there’s a lot of negative pressure back in the so called world.

People screaming from sky scrapers, all kinds of bad behavior and just generally being over stressed.

Certainly I hope it will change someday soon.

However I am not holding my breath on that one.

Finally join me for Kofa-Kush-Love-Bob Davis Podcast 1050.

Listen to the desert wind.

And remember…Bali Hai is waiting.

Podcast 613-Rising Tide? Trump’s Minimal Economic Impact

We’re Growing Again Right?

Trump ballyhoos new numbers. Seems like the new president is turning our economy around. A rising tide? What does an improving economy look like? Are there actions that cause real economic growth? Do you think new leaders are taking those actions?

Republicans Know How To Fix The Economy Right?

Deregulation. Tax cuts and reform. Infrastructure construction. Campaign Pledges were made. Pledges spurred optimism. Furthermore promises can be kept because republicans are in charge and republicans understand business. So the story goes.

Trump Has Already Started Making Things Better Right?

Trump claims credit for the new numbers. Can a new president have an economic impact after less than 90 days?

What’s Better?

How do you define economic success for the United States? Better job? More money? Saving a job? Getting a loan for business or housing? Seeing your 401K account fatten because of stock performance? Cheaper gas? GDP? Productivity? Improved employment? Interest Rates? Jobs coming back to America? Consequently how do you know when it’s working?

What Has Been Done?

Because of the new numbers coverage exploded. However, what have Trump and the new Congress actually done? Executive orders on regulation. Business and the environment. Pipelines. Budget cuts. Trade and the budget. In conclusion, is there an impact on the economy overall?

How Do You Know?

Who are the people that put these reports together and what methodology do they use? How do economists and traders judge these numbers? Seems like people accept them at face value. Should you place confidence in these reports?

What Actually Works?

Are there specific actions that can be taken to grow our economy? If business and economic philosophy is important, what do our leaders believe? Do you think there is a standard approach to economics and government in Washington? More importantly, we know ideas counter to the current approach exist. Will the new congress and president embrace them?

Back To The ’50’s

Let’s face it. We have a sclerotic, 1950’s style government. People are developing and using new technological tools developed for the 21st Century. Moving fast toward building a new world. Block Chain Currencies. Improved Communication tools. Robotic manufacturing. Higher productivity. Government might be out of step with those developments.
