Republicans: How Dare You Incite Civil War?

One of the reasons I left the Republican Party in late Fall of 2004 is that the Party advocates segregation, violent segregation. The propaganda within the Party invokes a faith in paranoia, that the world opposite of you is your enemy out to enslave you. I am a former College Republican, and I was extremely active within the party in Milwaukee. I left, simply because I was aiding these people in hating me (I'm gay, middle-class, and black).

Yet, in the light of the fierce Conservative "Grassroots" movement, this nation's racial warfare is becoming even more overt (despite its systemic dormancy, in its guise as a "post-racial society" while continuing to kill minorities), viciously overt...and yes, the Republican party is feeding the fire, and feeding off of its fire. You don't believe me, read this, straight from the website of the College Republicans:

"Enlisting in Operation Advancing Freedom puts you on-call for freedom. As an operative, you will have the opportunity to be a part of special deployment operations year-round to take out Democrats from coast-to-coast. Past operations included helping elect Bob McDonnell in Virginia, Chris Christie in New Jersey and Scott Brown in Massachusetts. Further operational plans are being drafted as you read this. Fight for freedom and your future by signing up today!"   - www.crnc.org
                             
I have never been so disgusted, well I have, but this is still just vile. Calling forth college students to become "operatives" to "take-out" Democrats? You're telling predominantly white, rural, lower middle-class, poorly educated, religiously-based, and abused males (and the occasional white female) to be "operatives" to "protect their freedoms" and "take-out" Democrats, whom have a significant membership of African Americans, Hispanic, Latin, Asian, Native, and other minority citizens. All the while, the country's first black President, and the first First Lady ever that is a descendant of slaves,  is promoting things that would, theoretically, make all people's equal (this is not desirable in).

The Republican Party is inciting violent civil unrest that could end up costing people lives.

For shame....this is not what the Founder's of this Nation would be for.

The Costs of Quality - General Commentary on Price-For-Quality Business

The Costs of Quality - General

***Please note, I realize that I tend to do these blogs when I'm either tired and it's late, or when I'm really busy multi-tasking...cuz you know, I'm a Millennial with an active lifestyle with a laptop and a smartphone...I will REPAIR this so that it makes more sense...later. lol Here's a funny cat pic instead***

What I call the "premium price for quality" pricing and positioning model does not necessarily equate to high profitability to due many..well costs.

If your goods or services are price-for-quality, above the competition, that means customer expectations are high and influencing customer perception of your company's quality involves increase investments in production innovation (to increase distribution time, and reduce production/labor errors), increase efficiency and quality training for employees, supplying hirer wages and benefits to attain higher qualitified higher skilled professionals, the investment in higher cost raw materials/inputs, etc. etc. etc.

Really, a there is more to protecting your company's name than "public relations" "advertisements" and comestics (architecture etc.).

In my personal experience, PR, advertising, and cosmetics do next to nothing as far as how customers perceive your company. So, I've grown to be an anti-advertising professional.

For restaurants, it is very much the same. You need the best fresh organic raw materials, that are produced in highly controlled and innovative agricultural firms across the globe, in the best environments...and due to A) the limited supply of premium produce (especially due to a lot of industrial, political, and environmental factors), B) the high cost of preserving the quality nutrients of these rare high quality raw materials during interstate/continental importation, C) the sophisticated, thus, expensive demands for high quality, specialized equipment, and building architecture design to control precise temperatures, etc. to protect the quality of the final products (food), D) high salaries for chefs, and higher salaries for experienced executive chefs, E) HIGH insurance costs D) foods are just as vulnerable to trends as clothes, so u're speciality better be one-of-a-kind in your location, but u better have a flexible menu...

Honestly, when it comes to restaurants, the cosmetics mean very little....I dare say, they mean nothing.

For a restaurateurs, it is best to focus on the supply of high quality raw materials, and the materials to protect them, and produce high quality finished goods, before you consider turning ur restaurant into some "posh" modern joint with expensive artwork and funky furniture.
