You have it easily in your power
to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now.
How?
By giving a few words of sincere appreciation
to someone who is lonely or discouraged.
Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today,
but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.

A progressive arguing that wage policies don't matter is in a state of denial. It's like saying costs don't matter. Why not hire n+1 vs. n?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Suppose a supermarket has a flash sale on loaves of bread at 25 cents each. I have only so much room in my freezer; Or no bread on my diet.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
If I need work done on my car, I may get bids from different vendors, which includes the price of labor. Which bid do I choose?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
If the government tells me it's illegal to hire fewer than 2 people to mow my lawn or I have to pay no less than $200 to have my lawn mowed.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Lawn mowing is a natural example.I remember doing my Grandfather's lawn with one of those old reel push mowers, no gas-powered or rider ones— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Donald Trump is quiet about the latest Reuters tracking poll which has Cruz 39, Trump 37 for the first time. https://t.co/tqQT5LV0Lk— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Who says chivalry is dead? Trump's drop in the polls seems fueled by a 15-pt drop in male favorability to 39%. Women were already at 33%.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
I didn't get paid for childhood chores like mowing the lawn. We had stayed with my Grandfather while my Dad secured military family housing.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
My Grandfather owned a mom 'n pop grocery in east Fall River. I used to bring daily groceries for Mom. He would put in a few Hershey kisses.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
My biggest grocery mishap occurred when my younger siblings and I spotted a large barrel in the back;they dared me to open the tap.Molasses.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
My granduncle was the butcher and ended up cleaning my mess. Every time I visited him as an adult, he would bring up the molasses story.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
I'm getting annoyed by this mercantilistic soundbite, "free but fair" trade. What's fair for me? I can buy a Persian rug or Cuban cigar.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Left-fascist Bernie Sanders praising the Nordic Europeans is infuriating. The Statists nearly destroyed the economy: https://t.co/zYdF7FJmqA— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
How irrational are the class warriors? If I'm looking to make a windfall, who would I target? The upper 10% or the lower 50%?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Now let's move the argument to hiring: if I need to get my HR costs within budget, who am I going to target: the top earners or lowest?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Trump cultist Ann Coulter makes reference to an alleged "Latin American Rape Culture". The fact is Latinos commit rape at less than their %.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
I would much rather live next door to a Latino than Ann Coulter. I went to school and college with Latinos, and I taught them at UTEP.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
When it's Trump,the last thing I wonder is "what does Barry Obama think about Trump (or anything for that matter)". Barry's attacks help him— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Barry Obama doesn't want to know what I think of him. He's the worst POTUS in my lifetime, and I've lived through LBJ, NIxon and Carter.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
If Al Qaeda wanted to sabotage the American economy, they would have tried to elect Obama and the 111th Congress. Anti-liberty polices, debt— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Under Obama, we've more than doubled the publicly-held debt, the SSA is starting to draw down on reserves, drone warfare is on steroids.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Under Obama, we have a War on Privacy,we have dropped down nearly 10 notches on economic freedom scales,we are not competitive on bus taxes.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Obama has expanded the imperial Presidency and unambiguously violated the rule of law. He has exacerbated factionalism in Congress.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Obama refuses to negotiate in good faith. He demands capitulation in deferring the cost of his corrupt bargains to future generations.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Trump is like a Republican Obama; both of them have cults. Both of them want to expand the Presidency. Both of them had paper-thin resumes.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
Obama has a better temperament, but Trump and he are both economic illiterates, they demonize the opposition, and they are narcissists.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 6, 2016
"Get tough" mandatory sentences are insane, unjust. Consider the 20 yr to life sentence of Jacobia Grimes for the theft of $31 in candy bars— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 7, 2016
My vote for the last American Idol, 2016: LA'PORSHA RENAE. (Google American Idol Vote)— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 7, 2016
My Choice for American Idol 15/2016This is Soft Rock America. Both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have a request for John Kasich: https://t.co/KgshEqBjaA— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 7, 2016
I'm waiting for American Idol to upload tonight's videos to Youtube. If and when, hopefully by tomorrow's post, I'll embed a performance. I particularly liked La'Porsha's cover of a Dionne Warwick classic. La'Porsha is competing against Trent for the title. To vote, simply Google for American Idol Vote

(Politico). Ben Stein on polls saying Donald J. Trump is the best GOP candidate on the economy: 'Shear idiocy'
Ben Stein is right. Trump is an ill-tempered, unprincipled, incompetent, unqualified, economically illiterate Know Nothing. What the economy needs is less interference and plundering from the State, not more. (Clinton and Sanders are professional political whores also who are economic illiterates.) Trump has simply exploited the corrupt, incompetent State.
