Burnout from Too Many Meetings

Meeting burnout got worse in the pandemic and back to the office hybrid schedules could make things even messier. With today’s Americans for Limited Government Minute, I’m Catherine Mortensen. We are deep in the age of the never-ending check-in. Meetings have gotten shorter during the pandemic, according to researchers, with one paper finding the average length dropped 20% in spring 2020. But meetings are multiplying. There’s the 25-minute client touch-base, the general life catch-up with your manager, the bite-size performance feedback session, the meeting to prep for the meeting. We were already on the road to meeting burnout before the pandemic. A shift from hierarchical organizations to de-layered ones means more bosses and teams to coordinate with. Increasingly global business means invites for times when we’d normally be in bed. Constant check-ins have become some bosses’ version of micromanaging, a way to keep tabs on workers they don’t trust. Perhaps it is time for Americans to get on with business. Return to the office and quit all the whining! For more check us out at the DailyTorch.com

Making Freedom Out of Lemons

New legislation allows Illinois kids to run lemonade stands without government permits. With today’s Americans for Limited Government minute, I’m Catherine Mortensen. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed a bill into law that ensures children younger than 16 can operate a lemonade stand without first getting government permission. Hayli’s Law, was filed by state Sen. Patrick Joyce after 11-year-old Hayli Martenez of Kankakee had her lemonade stand shut down by the local health department due to lack of running water. Hayli started “Haylibug Lemonade” back in 2017 to raise money for her college fund. Her stand was a hit! In a short time, county health department officials visited the 11-year-old and told her to shut down the stand or face fines because the house she lived in did not have running water. The new law will make it easier for kids to learn about entrepreneurship and responsibility and save for college. The government should never put up hurdles to the dreams of young Americans.

Innovation Boom for Middle America

Venture Capitalist Steve Case writes in the Wall Street Journal that the post-pandemic economic shifts will help middle America boom. With today’s Americans for Limited Government Minute, I’m Catherine Mortensen. Case notes that as tech workers move to cities such as Phoenix, Salt Lake and Tulsa, many likely won’t work on the same kinds of projects that dominated their time when they were ensconced in their hubs in San Francisco and Cambridge. Entrepreneurs who previously worked in tech bubbles will suddenly be exposed to a wider range of real-world challenges that they likely would never have encountered without the pandemic. Case believes the geographic diffusion of tech will change the industry to its very core. He says the magic of innovation emerges when people from different places weave their respective wisdom together. The best economic news is that tomorrow’s startups are poised to tackle challenges that, until recently, have been overlooked. And they’ll do it increasingly from places that have also been overlooked. For more check us out at the DailyTorch.com

If We Were Just More Like Cuba

The founder of the racially charged slave-focused sixteen-nineteen project – says Cuba is the model for racial equality. With today’s Americans for Limited Government Minute, I’m Catherine Mortensen. The sixteen-nineteen project is a New York Times initiative that helped inspire the teaching of Critical Race Theory in public schools. Founder Nikole Hannah-Jones gave an interview with Vox news in which she claimed Cuba had the “least inequality between black and white people. “In places that are truly bi-racial, Cuba has the least inequality and that is largely due to socialism, which I am sure no one wants to hear.” She’s right about that last part. We all know what equality looks like under socialism in Cuba – blacks and whites are equally indigent and miserable. Hannah-Jones has also praised the communist revolution for bringing about the “end of codified racism.” So, the cat’s out of the bag. These radicals want to bring communism to our shores. They’re trying to indoctrinate our school children. If you agree we have to stop this madness, check us out at the DailyTorch.com

Republicans Slam the Brakes on Spending

Republicans slam the brakes on speedy passage of bipartisan infrastructure deal. With today’s Americans for Limited Government Minute, I’m Catherine Mortensen. According to the Washington Examiner, Republicans are not ready to back a $1 trillion so-called infrastructure package Democrats hope to consider this week because they are skeptical of how the government would pay for the plan without adding to the nation’s staggering debt. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer outlined an ambitious summer legislative schedule last week that would include passing both the bipartisan infrastructure bill as well as a Democratic budget resolution that would unlock consideration of a much larger spending package on so-called human infrastructure – things like child and elder care. But Democrats need at least 10 Republicans to pass the bipartisan deal, and according to some GOP lawmakers, they are likely to fall short and even lose some of the 11 Republicans who initially backed the package. Let’s hope limited government prevails and we stop another massively wasteful spending bill from reaching the President’s desk. For more check us out at the Daily Torch.com
