July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Tuesday, May 10, 2016 Has the practice of crowdfunding gone too far? Share some positive and/or negative examples you're familiar with.    I’m not sure what anyone would consider too far? Since it is a group of people fixing a way to fund needed endeavors. I personally think it could be a way to help people fund a lot more projects than are being funded now. A consideration however, is the fact, that if a fund is not run honestly: if there are not strategically placed rules, some people might run off with a lot of money while others might lose an investment. I saw someone once on the news, who asked people to contribute $1 to his school loans so he could pay them off. I thought he was brave to ask. He was rewarded by enough contributions to pay off his loans. Another story about a man walking a long way to work and back. A college boy saw the need and started a fund on the internet to buy him a car. I was encouraged to see it worked. Like lots of ideas, it is workable if used properly. I would love to join a fund working specifically to pay off mortgages under 100,000 dollars. Or, one working toward some other worthwhile debt paying objective. We might get a lot of students out of debt or just pay for college? Happy Trails |
