REAL VALUES

The size and scale of a company is important. Our economy needs companies of all sizes. Small businesses. Medium businesses. And large global multinationals. These all help our economy and stabilize industries. 

There are strong opinions about large corporations. In many ways, we are conditioned to not like big companies and to view them as greedy entities. Yet, we are not supposed to view the government as greedy when taxes are increased during economic downtimes, good times, and anytime elected officials want more funding for pet projects. 

The reality is that we need large businesses. Large scale businesses that can employ people, create economic wealth, and produce and distribute the goods and services needed from sea to shining sea. Big companies have the resources to provide the benefits, labor protections, and perks that we wish all employers would offer. 

We also need to consider the benefits of having multinationals domiciled in your economy. I believe it is better to have large organizations that operate in your borders be domiciled in your economy than based elsewhere. Just like with individuals, home will always be where the heart and interests are so it is important that home is local. While profitability will always rule, I firmly believe that operations considered foreign will have less leeway than the home operations will have. 

In this podcast episode, Real Values, I discuss metrics used to measure the size of companies, managing sports assets for long term success, maintaining values to protect communities, and recent current events. 

CONTINGENCY PLANS

My name is Christopher Peter and welcome to The Christopher Peter Review.

Outcomes do not always go as expected. At times, there is a need to pivot and be able to make lemonade when society is handed a batch of lemons. In the case of the presidential primaries, Republican and Democrats might need to find a way to make lemonade.

As a society, we have seen the saying that elections have consequences prove all too correct. Consequences with policy ineffectiveness, personal behaviors, or rigid ideology without regard to the impact on the citizens. Usually, there is a mix of good with the bad consequences. So society has to determine whether the good outweighs the bad.

America is not governed with a parliamentary system, where we can say shortly after an election that “we got this one wrong” and get a redo. Rather we have a governance system based on checks and balance and stability, where we have a long enough period to say without a doubt that we made the wrong choice and this is why now we must change paths.

In this moment, I do believe that both sides have to consider the real possibility that neither of the leading candidates will be available. One is facing new indictments with trials to occur during the contest. While there are clear political agendas working in elevating the alleged crimes, it still is something that may impact the contest. On the other side, the health and well being is clearly a concern along with growing scandals that may impact his appeal as well. What if one is in jail and the other just comes to the realization that he is no longer capable and did not do a good enough job?

I know there are some people that say having a backup plan or contingency plan is sign of a lack of confidence. But I think it is a sign of proper planning, flexibility, and foresight to acknowledge there is a future risk that if it comes to fruition there needs to be some process of still moving forward. This is a moment in time where both parties are clearly headed towards nominating candidates that may not be the best ones available to either side. Candidates that America is better off moving forward from.
