    Euro Dogma or Greek Drachma?

    ByJoseph Paris July 14, 2011December 30, 2020

    The nation of Greece is bankrupt. Let’s just say it plainly and simply.  Let’s not use “poli-speak” words aimed at soothing the sting or trying to maintain someone’s self-esteem such as; “insolvent”, or “challenged”, or “bust”. And let’s be even more plain, any manner of restructuring of debt, other than “arm’s length” transaction, is the admission of…

    Amazon.com; Change-agent of Retail & Logistics

    ByJoseph Paris June 6, 2011December 30, 2020

    I grew up in Endicott, New York.  Its claim to fame is being the birthplace of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM).  In the mid-60’s through the mid-80’s, Washington Avenue (the main retail district) – also known simply as “The Ave” – was a-buzz with retail activities from family-owned retailers such as Burt’s (a department store) and Kline’s (a…

    ByJoseph Paris May 5, 2011December 30, 2020

    Several years ago, a good friend of mine invited me for a “guy’s weekend” in Atlantic Citywhere we were to stay at the Tropicana.  It sounded interesting enough as he and I always had a few laughs together and I had never really been to a casino before. In fact, when we arrived at the Tropicana, one of…

    “Guerilla Transformation” – Change an Insurgency into a Movement

    ByJoseph Paris February 24, 2011January 6, 2020

    Each of us belongs to a community, or network. In fact, each of us belongs to a great many different networks – with each network being defined by some kernel at its core.  These kernels may be physical, ideological, geographical, genetic, religious, or one of countless other characteristics that might define who we are and to…
