Cleveland – Most Miserable City In The U.S.

I just finished reading a piece in Forbes.com.  Cleveland topped the list again in Forbes.com, this time for most miserable city in the U.S.  I am a Clevelander and I’m not miserable, but I know that the city does have its troubles.  Wait, the city has a lot of trouble.

When you lay-off cops, you employ crime.

People are moving out of the city at an alarming rate.

There is almost a 20% foreclosure rate.

Drive through any neighborhood, especially the east-side and you will see some of the most beautiful houses in the world boarded up.

The article goes on to say

“This year Cleveland takes the top spot in our third annual ranking of America’s Most Miserable Cities. Cleveland secured the position thanks to its high unemployment, high taxes, lousy weather, corruption by public officials and crummy sports teams (Cavaliers of the NBA excepted).”

I was born and raised here. The people aren’t miserable….

What am I going to do about living in the most miserable city in the nation? Well I’m not miserable, but I am moving out of the state in March. I’ll miss Cleveland. I hope it can shine again in the media eyes again.

If you want to read a great post about Cleveland and what it has to offer. Read this post from one of my favorite bloggers.

GO CAVS!!!!!

There are literally   thousands of places you can buy a domain name. There are three companies that I have bought domain names from. Some of the cheapest domain names I have bought were at GoDaddy. Not does GoDaddy have lower prices than most companies, they have superior customer service.  I personally have never had a problem with GoDaddy.

Even GoDaddy’s webhosting plans are affordable.

If you are starting a blog or website, I would highly recommend using GoDaddy.  If you want to install Wordpress on your website, the easiest way to install Wordpress is to get a GoDaddy account and with one click you can have Wordpress installed on your server without any trouble.

I have tried to install Wordpress on a Yahoo webhosting account but there were too many problems.

You can compare GoDaddy to other domain registrars below.

You turn your back for one second at the mall, and poof… your child isn’t there. You call out there name only to find that they are in the next aisle looking at toys or hiding from you. This is the case most of time and as a father of a 7 year old, it scares me sometimes when he plays outside.

Little Buddy Child Tracker

I was doing some reading to find if you can actually track your child with a GPS device and found out there is something out there that can track your child. It will even send you an alert via text message if they get too far away from an area.

It’s called the Insignia Little Buddy Child Tracker.

The Insignia Little Buddy Child Tracker keeps tabs on your child at all times with this small but sophisticated device that combines GPS and cellular technology to provide you with real-time location updates. The small and lightweight Little Buddy transmitter fits easily into a backpack, lunchbox or other receptacle, making it easy for your child to carry so you can check his or her location at any time using a smartphone or computer.

It has customizable safety checks allow you to establish specific times and locations where your child is supposed to be for example, in school causing the device to alert you with a text message if your child leaves the designated area during that time. Additional real-time alerts let you know when the device’s battery is running low so you can take steps to ensure your monitoring isn’t interrupted.

So the next time you want to know if there is a device that can track your child, the answer is..yes there is.

Until they come up with an implantable device that you can put into your teenage daughter, this seem to be the next best thing.

I was reading an article about Myspace laying off employees because of slow ad revenue and because people were flocking to Facebook.

• I knew that Myspace was going to have some trouble when I would post a link to a website and big warning would pop-up telling my friends that Myspace blocked this link or that it may be a “phishing site.”
• Social Media is about sharing. If you take sharing out of the equation, what good is a “social networking site.”
• Another reason for Myspace #FAIL is that it  is not user friendly. It overwhelming to some people. There are flashy links, ads galore, slow load times on pages from amateur HTML copy and pasters and plenty of other bells and whistles that are not needed.
• There blogging format sucks and will also block outbound links with a spam/phishing warning.
• Captcha Captcha Captcha – How many times did you type that captcha word before you got it right?
• Spammers. Blame the markerters for this one. They blew up myspace with marketing spam from everything to viagra to finding “Hot chicks in your area.”

Now Myspace caused News Corp to lose 363 million dollars. That’s what these bastards get for impeding the ability to share a link about a new chicken recipe.

The U.S. Economy is in shambles and Capitol Hill scrambles to find an answer to the problem. What can government do in order to stimulate the economy?

First off, trickle down economics doesn’t work. Back in the 80’s it worked. But since we are in a global economy the trickle down money of yesteryear wouldn’t stimulate the U.S. Economy, it would stimulate overpaid CEOs and manufacturers overseas.

What about the government bailout packages for corporations? I don’t think they will work that well. You can give all the money you want to the auto industry, but if people don’t have any money or credit to buy a car, the Automakers are still going to go under.

What is the answer to stimulating the economy? Here is the simplest solution. It’s so easy that the government wouldn’t even consider it.

The swift and prudent action would be to give each middle-class taxpayer a 2010 stimulus check of 50,000 dollars. Yes, $50,000!

This is the 2010Economic Stimulus Check.

This 2010 stimulus check would stimulate the economy faster than you could shake a stick at it.

So how would the United States Government fund such a economic stimulus check? Easy!

• You cease to spend tons of money a month in Iraq.
• The country of Iraq pays the United States for the war in OIL.
• You cut back on useless Government waste.
• (Insert your idea in the comment section.)

So how would giving people  a 50 thousand dollar stimulus check stimulate the economy?  If you give the taxpayers a 50 thousand dollar 2010 stimulus check they will spend.  For example, Joe The Plumber gets a check or direct deposit of 50,000 dollars. He goes to Walmart and buys a new Plasma TV. Walmart makes money on the sale, Magnavox makes money because they are selling more TVs and the employees of Magnavox and Walmart are working and making money. Joe the plumber can now watch a Cleveland Browns game and everyone is happy.

Jane, the single mom, just got her 50 thousand dollar 2010 stimulus check. She’s happier than a pig in mud.  Jane needs a new car. She doesn’t want to spend her entire 50 thousand dollar economic stimulus check on a new car so she drops 5 grand down on a new GM car and finances the rest. In this example, GM is making and selling cars. GM employees are back to work. Credit is flowing again because the bank loaned Jane money for her car. The guys at the steel mill are making more steel for GM and the vendor that fills the vending machines at the steel mill is happy because people are buying the chips out of his machine.
It’s so simple. If you want to see it visually here is a chart. (Click on the image to enlarge it.)

So there you have it. Money flows, credit flows and most importantly the economy as a whole shifts into high gear all from a 50 thousand dollar a person stimulus check that the government CAN AFFORD.

Yes, the Daily Bragger has no niche. (Well, sort of.) I really never stick to a topic and continue to write posts about same thing over and over again. (Making me one of the worst blogs around.)

This is my own personal blog. I write about what I like or don’t like. I write about what can be done to improve.

So if you find that your blog does not have a niche, don’t worry people will actually read what you have to say. Everybody has a story.

If you can’t find your niche, just write. Keep writing. Eventually you will find your flow.

I treat each individual post as its own website. That way when I optimize for the search engines the single posts are picked up better by the search engines than the entire blog itself. (Just one of my many SEO tricks I use.  – I’m pretty slick when it comes to SEO, but I don’t want to write a blog about it.)

Besides B.S and bragging. Do you think this blog has a niche of some sort?
