Hey everyone! Now I know I don't live in New York anymore, so I shouldn't really care about a story I read. But I do care and so should you! The Manhattan DA put out a memo back in early January saying that a bunch of different crimes would not be prosecuted. Things like fare jumping...and prostitution! I was shell-shocked. I don't know if he's had a change of heart since then, but in case he hasn't let's discuss! To listen to past episodes, click here: https://www.statementsofopinion.com/episodes

Companies and business owners fire and lay off employees for various reasons. Sometimes it just can't be helped. And while it sucks, it is their right to make personnel changes whenever and however they want (with exception to the law). But when people are fired from their jobs without notice, or with short notice, it can be extremely disruptive and damaging. So why can't business owners try to give their employees more time to process bad news? In this episode I talk about the problem with firing employees without notice. And it definitely is a problem!

Recently, a jury awarded a man 9.4 million dollars in a lawsuit against Cracker Barrel because they served him water tainted with chemicals. There are so many questions and concerns this brings up! But what I noticed was that people actually blamed the man for drinking this chemical water! In this episode I talk about a few details from the case I read about, and wonder why people felt the verdict amount was unwarranted.

One of the resolutions many people made this year was to follow a budget. There are so many youtube videos out there involving one type in particular: cash budgeting. I am familiar with the concept, and I even dipped my toe into the cash envelope system pool once, but I'm not really sure if this is the best way to go. Listen in to this episode as I to a very brief pro/con list of cash budgeting, and let me know if it works for you!

#041 Welcome to 2022! Last year was a doozie and this year isn't off to a great start, but at least we are all here! One thing that always comes with new years are new resolutions. We always want to make changes for the positive but we don't always follow through. In this episode I talk a little about resolutions, and what I think could help us all to be more successful with them this year. Listen in!

Well, another year has come and gone, and so many things have happened! Now that we are getting ready to say goodbye to 2021 and hello to 2022, we can look back and see a lot of things we don't want to bring with us! A new variant of the coronavirus, the Capitol riots, fighting over vaccine mandates, and violent deaths on the rise. In the new year, let's hope for better health, and end to the pandemic, job growth, and a little exercise somewhere in between, lol!

The biggest pet peeve I have involves my experiences with drive thru at a fast food restaurant. If you have ever ordered at the drive thru window, asked for something, like no cheese, extra pickles, etc., only to find out later that's not what they gave you, then you'll relate to this episode! Join me in asking fast food workers to please, just give us what we ordered! Lol!

After many years of back and forth, I finally committed to joining the Peloton Nation. And so far, aside from a sore backside, I haven't regretted it! In this episode I talk about why I am prepared to put myself through the torture of spinning, at home, with a Peloton. I know exercise is a necessary evil, but I could seriously do without it! Regardless, I'm in it for the long haul now! Listen in as I discuss why I think everyone is obsessed with this bike and let me know if you agree!

Listen in on my phobia of the dentist, and why I try to avoid going whenever possible! I think you'll be able to relate, so don't forget to comment!

This week is a quick reminder that the holidays have arrived, and now is the time to be around friends and family. Make sure you spread a little love and holiday cheer!
