    The consequences of this massive cash injection

    HOT! 
    Except that it really will trigger inflation, and here's why I think that. They won't use cash on hand to pay out the money, or if they do they'll finance it with new taxes or debts to keep other budgets from eroding. So they'll be putting money, a trade medium, into the economy, without...

    Walter Hay’s “Quack” Remedies

    HEALTH 
    It's more of a quest than a forum post to digest the science, but you can start here: a link to get started.

    Walter Hay’s “Quack” Remedies

    HEALTH 
    Also... this is a perfect example of why I say "everyone should be their own doctor." It's not that doctors are bad or unnecessary, far from it. But people need to know themselves, and understand the effects of whatever treatments they undergo. We're kindof invested in these bodies, after all.

    Walter Hay’s “Quack” Remedies

    HEALTH 
    That's excellent. How do you distinguish between liver damage from antibiotics, vs possible damage from other supplements? Or were the antibiotics mostly taken in your youth? One thing a lot of people don't realize, and you've shined a light on it here... amoxicillin is one of the leading...

    The consequences of this massive cash injection

    HOT! 
    I'm a little worried about holding masses of cash right now. It's a good time to have assets in resilient business operations (especially relocatable ones), and/or perhaps to be a net debtor (since presumably you'd be paying back with cheaper money than you borrowed). I listened to an...

    I had that one in my list, but deleted it because I kept throwing up on the keyboard.

    Natural Disasters and the Commandment of Control: How Has CV Affected Your Biz?

    I have a tendency to overprotect, so I have disaster plans and continuity plans in place before almost anything else in a business. I don't think the current disaster will cause us much direct harm. I have seen a few things. A state vendor closed their testing facilities, and that affects my...

    RECESSION-PROOF Business Models?

    HOT! 
    Nothing is recession proof, so I'll assume you mean things that resist recession more than others. Things funded by taxes like trash collection maybe. "The last service people will cancel before their child starves, and maybe not even then." So, in other words, cable TV. Crack cocaine and...

    Creating Value: who would buy? [ROBOT POOL SKIMMER]

    I might be in the market for something like this if it existed and seemed likely to work. My pool does have a skimmer (a drain at the surface that pulls in surface water), but the skimmer is not "fast." So stuff can be left floating around. Also, if I turn on the bottom-cleaning robot, there's...

    Intro (again)

    INTRO 
    If the part of fitness you start looking into seems overserved, or if it's all dollars/hour, maybe look for underserved niches. They usually exist in any industry. They're the things other people don't want to do because it's hard, or you have to think to much, or you have to exercise high EQ...

    How To More Clearly Communicate With My Team?

    PEOPLE 
    Also, to answer your last question, you can hire a genius with perfect language skills, and STILL have misunderstandings. The tools you use to ensure understanding are important.

    How To More Clearly Communicate With My Team?

    PEOPLE 
    A few things I've done that help, depending on the situation: Make a video or visual to show them what you're talking about. Use 3 way communication to verify understanding before you move on. There are lots of industries this is used in; we use it to make sure we're all talking about the same...

    Too busy giving away dump truck loads of money and resources to be bothered with writing a press release, probably.

    Are you actually positioned to help?

    I keep seeing stuff about "maybe I should do this thing that helps with coronavirus." And if it was a hurricane, murder spree, earthquake, godzilla attack, or flash fire, I might expect to see similar things. Here's the problem. If that's your starting point, but you don't have any skills...

    The idea of knives and chili peppers makes me smile. There are plenty of things you can do to prepare if you don't have a way to stand your ground. When I was caught in riots, military coup d'etat and counter-coup in Bangkok, I booby-trapped the doors and windows and made an escape exit through...

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    @Saavedra @Jon L I know the debate over how much to spend on prolonging life can get touchy real fast, because people have different experiences and assumptions. I'll tell you one of mine. It's not a nudge in either direction, just an example of one individual's preference. My father was...

    Because idiots will see the news that sherriff's departments aren't responding out of fear of the virus, and they'll exploit the chance to break into houses, or riot and loot. Obviously nobody is stupid enough to shoot at a virus... that's a straw man. If you live / have lived in a place with...

    Are these niches profitable for a web designer?

    Oh, I misread your post too. You said 3 months, and I thought it was 3 years. Anyway, you can test them for price resistance. I don't know what small businesses are like in your area, but they seem more likely to pay than coaches or "personal branding." Thing is, small business is more than a...
