I decided to take a break from writing during this time and avoid politics. In time I’ll probably find political topics of merit to discuss again. But, for now I’ve been thinking about jobs. Specifically, how deskilling has eliminated jobs in the past and may […]

]]> Small Businesses https://johnkuvinka.com/small-business/ Sun, 03 Apr 2016 10:00:02 +0000 http://johnkuvinka.com/?p=755 Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, so far as many are concerned. With the taxing of businesses and income inequality on our minds a lot of people are talking about how it’s hard for small businesses to succeed. In a way it’s been up for debate even going back to right before Barack Obama got elected in 2008 with “Joe the Plumber”, if anyone […]

It makes sense that someone’s pay should be proportionate to the difficulty and necessity of their work, but it’s also true that it should keep up with inflation. The federal minimum wage is currently $7.25 an hour, though many cities and states […]

Pretty much entry-level stuff suitable for someone on break from school, picking up extra money while in school, or retired but still wanting to keep busy. None of these positions, save for upper-management in retail companies, offer wages that can sustain a comfortable lifestyle […]

We’ve got states taking some pretty progressive action in the realm of drug laws. Sure, we aren’t where a lot of the proponents would like, but we all have to admit that things are definitely changing. So what’s the big deal about all this? Why should marijuana and/or other “controlled […]

]]> The Holiday Season https://johnkuvinka.com/holiday-season/ Mon, 25 Nov 2013 02:52:14 +0000 http://johnkuvinka.com/?p=363 There are all sorts of ways to go about politicizing the holiday season: talking about the “true” meaning of Christmas from a religious perspective, accusing groups of trying to “steal” Christmas because certain businesses say “happy holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” so as to not “offend” other religious groups. Some people cry about “the family” being under attack and all this other nonsense. The funny […]

Network TV is filled with commercials, billboards are everywhere along the highways, flashing lights, tacky logos plastered all over clothing. It’s pretty hard to escape it. And the whole point of it all is to try and get you to buy something. It’s not a tough concept, […]
