The End of CHEAP

The End of CHEAP

The Perfect Storm to End an era of CHEAP In summary, you and I likely witnessed the cheapest phase of human industrialized history. Cheap was made possible by plentiful and freshly-leveraged foreign labor, abundant food and energy, powerful computing and internet connectivity, imbalanced environmental standards, cheap freight and affordable housing. We have reached a cathartic limit. Global powers will use trade (reward) or boycott (punishment) as the behaviors of totalitarian regimes become harder to ignore — and now we must pay for all of the value received that includes the past and present cost of politics, wars, poor planning and bad policy. Going forward, it will matter more to be energy-efficient, locally-sourced, automated, robotic, smaller and nimble.

United in Bad Decisions

United Airlines… A Disaster… of Decision Making This past week we were treated to an amazing and horrible story about the bloodied 69 year-old United passenger who was dragged off his flight with a broken nose, concussion and broken teeth – all because he had been “bumped” by the airline at the last minute because United wanted to fly four crewmembers to another city. The next day, United’s stock dropped hundreds of millions of dollars in company value and customers around the world had one more doubt in their minds about flying these “friendly skies”. In these times, I find it interesting to look at the DECISIONS made by everyone and identify what each person or company could have done differently.
