Ronald Reagan was perhaps the most consequential president we’ve had since Richard Nixon. He represents the New Right coming to power and delineates the sixth party system, which we may only now be turning into a new one. But he is not merely his presidency or political ideology, which have made him almost deified in the eyes of many conservatives today. Much complicates his character and legacy. Indeed, Reagan had a long career before 1980, becoming what was then the oldest president, only recently surpassed by Trump and Biden. So, to better understand American history, let’s look at the biography of this vital figure to get a more complete picture of who Reagan was and what impact he had.

As we commemorate the 248th anniversary of our independence, it is important to reflect on the sacrifices and struggles that our forefathers endured to secure our freedom. We must remember that our liberty was not easily won, and we must always be vigilant in defending it against any threats or challenges. Throughout history, our nation has faced numerous obstacles and adversaries, but we have always stood strong and united in the face of adversity. Our founding principles of freedom, democracy, and equality continue to guide us as we strive to create a more perfect union. As we celebrate Independence Day, let us honor the brave men and women who have fought and sacrificed for our country. Let us also reaffirm our commitment to upholding the values and ideals that make America a beacon of hope and opportunity for people around the world. In the words of President Ronald Reagan, "We will not go quietly into the night, we will not go without a fight." Let us continue to proudly celebrate our independence and stand as defenders of liberty for generations to come.

#economics #sustainability #NobelPrize Attitude matters to "feel" better off, as Reagan discovered in his own life with all its vicissitudes which included a divorce as was also in my case in 2010-'11, giving a job to himself all the way into the The White House. So did I in 2008 to transition out of my career civil service employment by 2010 as an analyst at Federal Reserve Board. Is government the problem, as Reagan said in 1980? Yes, in both governing the people and in your own personal space and life by causing my divorce in Washington, 18-1/2 years of marriage and two young kids later and taking away my companies, because the new president, a Democrat aspiring to be Ronald Reagan of the political left, Barack Obama, found them attractive to be transformational himself after he was prematurely awarded The Nobel Prize in 2009, one of which, Transformations, LLC, was valued at $500M in 2011. He still does not know what to do with it other than utter transformational sounding things as he did to get elected in 2008. Nor does he pick up the phone and ask me who knows all about it because it is mine and will always be. It is a stalemate between an enlightened commoner and a haughty and naked king. Government, as America's founders in 1776 understood very well as do public economists of all stripes, has a place in American life and this is where it belongs, unlike in many other countries including Europe. I trust the American idea. Its founding. And the very few who really understood it. They have been carved into Rushmore. The government in America, unlike in any other nation, was designed intentionally not to be trusted by the people. America is about trusting yourself, every individual, to be self-governing in responsibility and, thereby, individually and as a commons in freedom. This is the American exceptionalism. If you understand this, natural born or naturalized, then you are truly and natively American. In your own country, if it is not America, you understand and believe in this, you are an American in spirit. Are you American?

this question is as valid then as today. even with the influence of the China - virus and the fact that more Americans died from this under the Biden and Harris watch than Trump. under Trump the medium income rose for all demographics, under Biden and Harris it has fallen for most. look at the pain of going to the grocery store. your thoughts!

Great motto for 2024. One of the most effective employee benefits employers can offer is attention. Often just a thank you is enough. Because everyone is happy to receive a thank you. When was the last time you thanked a colleague, employee or person? I wish you and your love ones a great New Year 2024. Andreas von Hagen #employeebenefits #humanresources #leadership

#economics #sustainability #NobelPrize When your neighbor loses his job it is a recession, and when you lose your job it is a depression, had quipped Ronald Reagan, an economics graduate from the simple 4-year Eureka College, Eureka, IL, a private, non-profit educational institution in Barack Obama's The Nobel Prize home state of the first Republican president Abraham Lincoln carved into Mount Rushmore and in Washington at one end of the National Mall by the reflecting pool watching over the constantly bickering US Capitol at the other end. After I came to America as a foreign student in 1990 on a full scholarship to University of Hawaii at Manoa, I lost my job for the first time as a graduate assistant in mechanical engineering, soon after I finished my research work on my master's thesis in materials science because my thesis advisor's National Science Foundation (NSF) funding for my project ran out, 4 months after I was newly married, and 24 years old with a 22 year old wife, an aerospace economics graduate from Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University) I met at International Space University in Toulouse, France - while working on International Mars Mission in the summer of 1991, from the then Soviet Union still in the midst of breaking up working on entering the economics PhD program at University of Hawaii at Manoa. Just as Elon Musk who was coincidentally naturalized from South Africa in 2002 the same year I was naturalized as an American sleeps on his factory floor, I, having gallivanted as a graduate student to Europe and Japan from Hawaii without working on my thesis to my advisor's considerable anxiety and two weeks late for my final semester of graduate courses in the fall of 1992 even as he was kind enough to keep paying me, returning from Japan and Washington, D. C, I slept on the floor of my laboratory for 3 straight months running 3 8-hour experiments in every 24 hour period to collect data for my thesis and get it done by December 1992. I was dual enrolled in a political science PhD on a tuition waiver, had to look for a job, finish writing up my thesis and defend it in front of my committee in 4 months by April of 1993 with no income. I suppose being still in the honeymoon period with a beautiful wife helps you avoid depression to which I was never prone anyway given my mental make up, despite not having any money. A few friends helped me bridge the gap months, I defended my thesis and graduated, lauded for how well it was written and for my math skills, and found a job as an entry level centrifugal pump salesperson in a small company in a suburb of Honolulu a few months later during a Hawaii recession without knowing how to drive a car yet, just as my new wife entered the PhD program. This is how I legally immigrated to the United States, sponsored by my employer, also sponsoring her for a permanent resident visa as my spouse 4 years later in 1996. © 2024 TAMIRISA https://www.tamirisa.com/
