Back In The Day Economics With Mike Ramey

     I just received the latest copy of my favorite, local business publication in the mail. 

 

     On the front page—complete with great artwork—was a piece on how vinyl was making such a strong comeback in the record industry that existing processing plants were having a hard time keeping up with the demand of BOTH musical groups—and consumers. 

 

     Of course, I’m still holding out for a revival of eight-track tapes…but this is a dream deferred for another day.

 

     Over the last ten or so yea

There is no question that when Baltimore city’s states attorney Marilyn Mosby sought justice for Freddie Gray by going after the police who murdered this innocent black man, a target was placed on her back.  However, she is not the prime target. These contrived charges are relatively minor but are blown way out of proportion deliberately. The timing of these charges raised my suspicion. They came days after  Maryland’s Republican governor, Larry Hogan, launched an unfair criticism about Mosby an

Trapped by Evil

George Washington was the father of our country. He confessed to chopping down the cherry tree because he could not tell a lie. But if he had opposed slavery while it was flourishing, he would have been thrown out of office  on his ear.  He was trapped in the evil slavery.

For over sixty two years, the mighty United States of America has imposed devastating embargo on the poor little island of Cuba. Year after year, the UN General assembly have voted overwhelmingly against this US embargo. The la

Poor Kids

Recently I watched Frontline production of “Poor Kids” on PBS TV. Actually, I did not watch the entire show. The plight of poor kids in America, the richest country in the world, was too depressing. It was a disgrace. I had to turn it off.

It made me think of how the Build Back Better bill would help poor kids. Conditions require that this bill deserves unanimous support. The time is overdue for the rich billionaires to step up and help the poor by visibly and vocally supporting this bill. These

Donald Trump captured the white vote primarily by embracing racism. However, this racism is nothing but a red herring to distract his followers from the fact that Republicans have nothing to offer the American people, with the exception of tax breaks for the billionaires. As I have asked before, “Will racism put food on the table?”  Will racism help to pay your outrageous hospital bill? The sad fact is that the Republicans reward their white support with exploitation.

When is the last time Republ

Don't blame it all on Trump

As a black person, I am shocked when white persons that I considered friends proclaim that they are proud followers of the blatant racist, Donald Trump. As a matter of fact, I am convinced that the overwhelming majority of Trump supporters do so precisely because he is racist.
As a black person, I am shocked when a white person that I respect for their integrity, proclaim that they are proud supporters of such a barefaced liar as Donald Trump.  According to the Washington Post, in his four years

Traitors Manchin and Sinema

It is clearly evident that the Republican Congresspersons and Senators have one sinister purpose. Their aim is to sabotage every meaningful bill that Biden proposes. Look at the record. Look at the infrastructure bill. Look at the Build Back Better bill. Virtually every single Republican has opposed or can be counted to oppose. These bills are the best bills since Social Security and Medicare.  Of course, as per usual, the Republicans hide behind some pretext, but their real aim is to cripple th

Slavery was as acceptable as apple pie

During apartheid, was it the patriotic duty of white South Africans to support South Africa? Should  black South Africans?

During the holocaust, was it the patriotic duty of non-Jewish Germans to support Germany? Should German Jews?

My attention has been drawn to sponsored write ups in the media, claiming that I passed the buck on my responsibility for the constitution of the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC.

 

The write ups deliberately published while I am outside the country on national duty, reportedly quoted my media aide, Jackson Udom, claiming that I have denied responsibility for the constitution of the board of the Commission. I have checked with Mr Udom, and he has clearly said he was misquoted.
