in The Debate: Location VS. Career? on Small Hands, Big Ideas
I chose to live where I live now because of location, not what I could do for a living there. I spent too many years in LA working at a job I didn't like - so didn't like work or location. Luckily, I now work for myself from home and can live anywhere, but location for me is way more important than what I do for money. Great article, really enjoyed it.

@David You're a great example of living somewhere for a career, but not being satisfied or fully happy. I like to hear stories like yours and it seems as though working from home and your ability to live where you want works well for you. Thanks for your kind words about the post, I'm glad you could stop by and comment. I really enjoy your blog, as well.

in Obama FIRED the head of GM on AMERICAblog
It's a very dangerous path to go down for a country that is supposed to be a free democracy. That's all I am saying. The govt. gives money to damn near every company to prop them up, but this is the only time I have heard of a President deciding to fire a CEO because of it. I think there is something else to this story...

I think when you mention "free democracy" and then talk about government giving money "to damn near every company to prop them up," you are mixing apples and oranges. As soon as a company takes taxpayer money, it no longer operates under the same rules the rest of private companies have to operate under. Some of us have companies or are trying to build companies that aren't "too big to fail." I don't expect the government to come in and tell me what to do in the few little startups I'm attempting, but I'm not taking taxpayer money. If I did then I would realize I had to answer to the federal government regarding decisions I make in order to repay those "loans."

I have to disagree - the President has no business firing anyone that works for a company. Who is next? You? Me? I like Obama, and glad they are at least stopping to think before giving these losers more money, but if in fact this was what happened, I don't like it.
That being said, there is much more here than meets the eye - I don't buy for a second that Obama fired this guy. There is something else here...

This all goes back to accepting tax payer money for rescue. If they take taxpayer money then they are asking the government to intervene if they don't perform. Companies who remain private have no need to fear Obama will fire them. We can't have people accepting our taxpayer money then demanding they be treated like private corporations.

He did not fire but look going into bankrupcy is the option they should have taken they would come out cleaner. say what you will but I'm from there and did work for a supplier to the auto industries, This economic disaster that yes government has caused, is dragging out, because government will not allow for the bad to fail and new to start up.
