Military historian Victor Davis Hanson, author of, “The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation,” joins “On Balance With Leland Vittert” to discuss the premise of the movie, saying, “We are having a pre-Civil War geographical force multiplier."

#3  America has always had a lot of churn in the economy, as old, stodgy companies led by self-satisfied management are pushed out of the way by entrepreneurs paying close attention to what customers need and want.. and often inventing new things or more efficient ways of doing old things.

WalMart replaced Sears and Kmart as well as a variety of small businesses. Amazon has replaced a great many businesses, but WalMart seems to have figured out the on-line market despite being second gen. owners. I didn't expect them to be able to make the change, honestly, since Sam Walton’s innovations were mostly in how he worked directly with key manufacturers to drive down his costs, mostly without reducing manufacturer profits.

#2  ...unfortunately, business 'leaders' are more interested in virtue strokes from their peers than in the bottom line of the company. Any company that is lead by a third generation from its founder is run by suits without any real knowledge of their product or services or for that matter what their real market target audience is.

#1  Vice went Tango Uniform this morning. Once valued at $5.7 billion (by someone, certainly not me). You have to wonder what happens when everyone figures out that the far left is a very nich market and that fact has long-term implications for the health of the country (mostly good implications, I hope).
