Citizens have complained about our economy for decades. However, our economy, the envy of the world, is remarkably complex yet becomes easier each year for most to engage at the level desired. We should appreciate what is right in front of us..bit.ly/3RnHbq2

Political America always needs an enemy. Today, most in the political class point towards China. However, China is not our enemy...bit.ly/415UNL6

I don’t buy current narratives. Given history, I am optimistic about America and the world.
I now have an X account (@midconservative), a Facebook page, a blog (themiddleconservative.com). Please follow. First post today.

I hope 2023 is the year that the great middle of the country, the centrist Democrats, the centrist Republicans, and the independents begin to assert their voices more forcefully. We’ve let the extreme wings on both sides dominate the narrative for too long. #middleconservative

Elon Musk says he wants to increase freedom of thought on Twitter. Left-leaning pundits are using phrases like “the end of democracy.” What are they talking about?

The State of Florida passed a bill eliminating the Reedy Creek special tax district after Disney issued a press release. Is this a violation of the First Amendment? @midconservative

A terrific article about our hosting the best Super Bowl ever.

Indianapolis didn’t need beaches and fancy nightclubs to host one of the biggest sporting events on the planet. Innovative planners here created one of the most widely praised Super Bowl experiences in recent history. indianapolismonthly.com/arts…

I’ve been saying this for years. Companies move to where talent resides. Talent moves to a high quality of life. Much different than when I grew up. The point is to increase the tax base. You do that by providing a high quality of life for talent.

Here I explain that Indiana's poor and declining educational attainment, not our tax rates makes us unfit for the type of advanced manufacturing firm just announced in Ohio.
Ohio didn't beat Indiana in the bid for 3,000 @intel jobs that pay $125,000 each. Indiana beat itself.

All three of these women are tremendous. Two worked in our administration and one was on the Super Bowl Committee. This project is in good hands.

Ten years ago today, @MayorBallard placed Indy’s water and wastewater systems into non-profit public charitable trusts within @citizensenergy. The incredible team at Citizens has protected our utilities and made our city a better place to live and work. Thank you Citizens!

Read this thread about Eddie Rickenbacker. It’s worth it. Wow!
27 Feb 2021
1. I knew Eddie Rickenbacker was an American flying ace in World War I, and won the Medal of Honor, but I didn't know that much about the rest of his life until now.
