Yesterday, sales, marketing, and field operations responsibility for the largest, most successful organization in the history of our industry segment was used to add substance and credibility to the writing.

Objectives were viewed as “working backwards” from needs to solutions. There to satisfy wants or needs; our customers were not there to satisfy us.

Our financing, most often used by equipment sellers as an alternative to cash purchase or bank loans, also required additional forms and paperwork. While certainly permitting additional sales, applications were also a cumbersome, sometimes confusing, time-consuming procedure, potentially jeopardizing business closure. For that, our size and experience permitted a solution; simplified, one-page easily comprehended paperwork. Quick-to-complete verbiage, unique in our marketplace.

A highly visible public corporation ourselves, we were purchased by a telecommunications giant, unable to successfully build an entity of their own. First thing next morning after acquisition, two young staff attorneys from the new parent told us their industry research showed virtually all of our competition employed far more complex, lender protective forms and documents. In their opinion, then, we should do a better job of protecting our contractual interests and comply with obviously more sophisticated industry standards.

I suggested they work in one of our national locations for a few years and then come back when they understood why our competitors buried equipment sellers in cumbersome forms and fine-printed legalize. The reason being, they weren’t knowledgeable, large or strong enough to protect their own interests in any other way. As for us, simplified paperwork had proven a huge, successful, industry advantage for years.

Throughout our organization, parental representatives double-checked steps and procedures. Seeking operational compliance simultaneously adding cumbersome time and delay throughout. The administerial advantage soon gone, mirroring everyone else, our purchaser lost interest selling to another entity altogether.

By comparison, Trump took a very similar, businessman’s approach to “management” at the national level. Reducing or eliminating cumbersome, repetitive or perhaps unnecessary “red tape” wherever possible. To the extent that “for every one new regulation issued, at least two prior regulations had to be identified for elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently managed and controlled through a budgeting process. “ Biden quickly shelved that objective following election.

According to final figures compiled by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, provided to U.S. News, the “Trump administration had built 458 miles of what it dubbed a “border wall system.” Pew Research reports, “Between April 2020 and the end of the Trump administration, more than 80% of monthly migrant encounters at the southwestern border resulted in expulsion rather than apprehension. In July that year, 47% of migrant encounters resulted in expulsion, down from 83% in January, when Biden took office. And then, expulsions continued to decrease.

On his first day in office, Biden cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline, spurring a rise in inflation not seen in forty years. According to data from AAA, “the average cost of a gallon of regular fuel is now $4.404, the highest nominal price ever.” With gasoline prices the stimulus, the April consumer price index, measuring changes in the cost of food, housing, utilities, and other goods, rose by 8.3% over the past 12 months 

Back on May 11, in an exclusive interview on Fox Business Network’s Varney & Company, “Donald Trump told host Stuart Varney that climate change is “a hoax.” The former president said “in my opinion, you have a thing called weather, and you go up, and you go down, If you look into the 1920s, they were talking about a global freezing, okay? In other words, the globe was going to freeze.”

“And then they go global warming,” Trump continued. “Then they couldn’t use that because the temperatures were actually quite cool. And many different things. So now they just talk about climate change. The climate’s always been changing.”

Comparisons of all sorts compile to illustrate ways in which the Biden administration has taken the inherited results of perhaps the most successful administration since World War II and reversed or eliminated the progress. The reason being, in Biden’s  spectrum, political theory overrides practicalities required to thrive. However, while poor or failed results matter not when there is another mission to accomplish, administrative responsibility of the massive United States has proven to be the wrong place to experiment.

So, much like a telecommunications giant that purchased the most successful financial services organization of its type because corporate planners perceived it to be a good idea at the time, only to find it overwhelmingly unmanageable, Progressives have found their ideology a resounding practical failure.

To rid themselves of their mistake, the telecommunications giant sold off their financial subsidiary elsewhere. In the case of Progressives in office, the voting public will do the riddance for them.

That’s it for today folks.
