The Importance of Making Spare Keys For Your Boats, Camp, Locks and ATV

One of the worst things that can happen to you after hiking, hunting, or spending the day outdoors is that you lose your keys and have no way of getting in or starting your equipment. Worst case scenario you could be putting your life imperil if you are way out in the tundra and your snowmobile wont start. A few simple steps will help you be effective in this arena.

I had this problem happen to me on a couple of occasions. Just yesterday, I lost a set of keys that included the gate for the marina, boat ignition, boat door lock and bike lock. What saved me is that a basic set was in the office but I had to repurchase the bike locks. An expense I could have avoided and didn't want.

Tips to copying Keys:

-Make at least three sets. One for use, one to keep with someone else and a spare to hide on your equipment or keep in your gear.

-Test all keys and ensure they work. Sometimes the copy isn't good.

-Buy labels so you know what keys you have and others can find them if need be.

-Use floats, lanyards, and clips to ensure you can hang or attach keys to trees, boat, wall, or ATV.

The Influence of Robots on Unskilled Labor

Unskilled labor and robots are on a crash course that is likely going to make such labor less valuable and cut wages. The explosion in robot technology over the past decade has made the initial expense of such equipment worth it when we add in the cost of labor over the lifetime of such initial investments. While robots can bring back manufacturing to the U.S. it will displace vulnerable workers.

The temptations to use new technology that inevitably becomes cheaper over time is too great when we consider national competitiveness and return on investment. Yet one must wonder where certain sectors of the population will work if they do not have living wages and cannot afford expensive education programs. At some point class consciousness and their reckoning will be increasingly likely.

Reduction of Cost and Competitive American Manufacturing

The advantages of technology to clean stores, build items and move them around distribution centers creates opportunities to earn higher profits. With this technology, and perhaps some tax reform, we can bring back manufacturing. Where China competes on low skilled and low cost labor they are stunted by poor infrastructure. The Chinese are pouring billions into infrastructure improvements while the U.S. already has an infrastructure advantage but doesn't have access to cheap labor.

Robots Displace Low Skilled Labor

Low skilled labor will need to continuously compete against emerging technology. Those with just a high school diploma, and no technical training, will find their job opportunities and wages decline. A growing underemployed class will be created that will need cheaper and more effective training and education to keep them in the workplace. At some point, as technology emerges the skilled with high income and the unskilled with poverty wages will define new class consciousness.

The 5 Forms and Uses of Power!!!!

Power! The ability to get things done through persuasion or pressure is a highly sought after commodity in a world where billions of people compete for resources and uniqueness. In 1959, the American Psychologists Betram Raven and John French, published an article classifying power within organizations. The five bases of power are coercive, reward, legitimate, expert, and referent.

Coercive: Forced compliance to certain actions and beliefs to avoid punishment.

Reward: The ability to influence people through rewards.

Legitimate: Leaders who can use their formal titles to get things done.

Expert: The use of knowledge, research, experience and education to be "thought leaders".

Referent: To have a high social status where others use your name and associate with your own personal brand.

There is inherently nothing wrong or immoral with the use of power to direct people to pool their resources for the greater good of all. However, for many legitimate uses of power are illegitimate uses that seek to push people to actions they do not morally agree with. Each can be used at different times, together or separately for great effect.

Book Review: Essentials of Economic Theory: As Applied to Modern Problems of Industry and Public Policy

If your in the mood to read an in-depth analysis of economics and enjoy the detailed discussion of wealth, land, population, capital, transportation interest and rail roads you should pick up a copy of the Essentials of Economic Theory by John Bates Clark published in 1907. It will teach about the fundamentals of economics from a neoclassical perspective.

By the time you finish this book you will understand the bigger picture of how large scale economic systems work.

Neoclassical, or Orthodox Economics, relates to the belief that people are rational in their choices. When given alternatives people will naturally pick the best choice. New products with new features and scarcity will be worth more than older products with high supply.

I wish I could say all people are rational but this isn't always the case. Much of our choices are based in our personal beliefs, available information, and limited options.

The book outlines so many fundamental concepts that economic students were required to read this book as standard curriculum. That is no longer the case, and while much of the information provided has lost some of its relevancy the majority of ideas holds true as much today as it did then.

You will likely fall asleep a few times reading this book. It is extremely long winded and 550+ pages of in depth analysis. The advantage is that by the time you complete you have a fairly descent understanding of basic classical economic theory.

The one big lesson is that every component of the system is influenced by other factors. When you adjust, supply-demand, labor costs, etc. it makes its way throughout the entire system.

You can read the book for free Free-Essentials of Economic Theory

Preparing for a Day Sail-Double Check

Preparing for a morning sail takes some time to ensure you have the right equipment. Once you are out on the water it is unlikely you will turn around to get something. It just takes too much time and effort. So you better double check your gear twice before you start and then put it in your bag. There are a few things I pack that are not already on the boat. The safety items on a boat go through their own safety check before leaving land.

My personal pack

1.) Life Jacket: I usually use my own life jacket when I sale. So I typically pack it.

2.) Multi-Use Utility Tool: You never know what might need to be fixed or rigged.

3.) Drinks and Snacks: Put food and snacks in your bag because you might get hungry. A few bottles of water is great for a day sale.

4.) Sweatshirts and Jacket: It gets cold out on the ocean so take with you some extra layers.

5.) Sun Screen: You will likely need it and you will likely burn without it.
