Milwaukee Domes from a few weeks ago!
Jumped on the blue moon bandwagon Wednesday!
Rented a big boy lens for the weekend. Blue Angels practice was a blast!
Happy 4th! 🎆
Gorgeous Milwaukee weekend!
The last meaningful reduction in working hours in the US was when the Fair Labor Standards Act was passed in 1938. Since then, productivity per labor hour has more than tripled. 🤷♂️

Technology does not reduce work. Time management does not reduce work. Only leisure reduces work. newstatesman.com/culture/2023/0…
This is going to have horrendous consequences.
I engineered a desk job down to about 2 hours/day. Used automation & process improvement. Then took on some additional projects at work… And still kept my workload around 3 hrs/day. My job was less stressful, plus I was contributing significantly more than expected. 🤷♂️

Mismanagement is likely a similar proportion of “bad” orders across multiple industries. Late orders & quality are the affected metrics.

I want to be clear: NONE of this is a hanging offense! He’s allowed to make money. But it raises concerns about whether he is willing to discuss issues about companies that do business with him. To be fair to him, he should have an opportunity to put those concerns to bed.
2) They allegedly made high-interest subprime loans to customers even though THEIR OWN credit models suggested these customers would be unable to repay the loans. This is REALLY SHITTY!
Some of their practices, while not surprising for sub-prime lenders, are still shocking. The highlighted section indicates that $CACC's own credit models indicated that borrowers would be unable to repay even as $CACC gave those borrowers loans. 13/39
My beef with Credit Acceptance is twofold: 1) They allegedly worked with dealers to encourage “add-ons” to increase the value of the sale and the loan without proper disclosure being given to borrowers.
A huge part of the issue seems to be that $CACC allegedly encourages add-ons to be included into the loan, which then inflates the loan amount, without proper disclosure being provided to borrowers. 17/39
I want to take a quick beat: these concerns exist in shades of gray and are NOT black and white. I've worked in banking my whole career, an industry plagued with ethical issues. To avoid concerns about what I post, I don’t try to monetize this account at all (not that I could)
I want to discuss something different from usual. This thread is about a business relationship between @GuyDealership and sub-prime auto lender, Credit Acceptance Corporation $CACC 🧵

Wisconsin Republican legislators (not) at work: PFAS and hospital funding? no show school safety? gavel out gun violence? gavel out farm relief? gavel out school funding? gavel out abortion care? gavel out Badger care? gavel out COVID bills? 8 month vacation…
BREAKING: Republican lawmakers were a no-show today for the special meeting I called to release $140 million to fight PFAS statewide and stabilize healthcare access in Western Wisconsin after recent hospital closures. Am I angry about that? The answer's yes.
Extremely concerning that the top election official in the nation's most closely contested swing state needs extra security because the Republican nominee for president keeps lying about the results of the 2020 election.
Wisconsin elections chief Meagan Wolfe gets extra security while Donald Trump foments false accusations jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
Reminder: An outside group funded by the Uihleins spent nearly $30 million attacking Mandela Barnes in 2022. There was no spending equivalent on the other side, and Ron Johnson won the closest U.S. Senate election in Wisconsin in a century by 27,000 votes.
The Uihleins are trying to buy yet another Senator and max out to Eric Hovde #wisen
This report says homicides are down 36% in Milwaukee this year.
Homicides are plummeting. In all 10 cities with the most 2023 homicides—for which we have data—homicides are falling. The pandemic crime wave is crashing hard. If these percentage decline numbers were percentage growth numbers, it would be the lede of every cable news show—>
