I've been told by wise people, and observed, that many business cycles have about a 15 year half life. Private offices inspire work quality, then cubicles and bullpens create efficiency and teamwork, then privacy and value of contemplation work best in offices. Seems we're at the cubical pinnacle now, and will see if the pendulum swings. Saw that Philip Morris may merge with Altria. Makes me wonder if the consultants preaching divestment are now touting stability of earnings through integration. Could mergers of upstream and downstream energy companies be soon to follow? Perhaps Marathon, COP + P66? Could pharmaceuticals buy back their own spin-offs?

Welcome
This commentary seeks to identify and promote simple perspectives on difficult issues. The hope is that small contributions of insight, and perhaps a little twisted logic, might help slowly, but progressively, make the world a better place.
Sure, that's a lofty goal. But, honestly, why not? Can't really hurt anything, and even a little help along the way is better than just doing nothin'.
Enjoy.

About Simpernetic Research
Simpernetic comes from a combination of simple and cybernetics. Cybernetics is the study of cyclical systems of cause and effect, where actions toward a goal produce a response, which leads to further action, continuing toward the attainment of the eventual goal.
Simple is just simple. So Simpernetic Research searches for systematic simplicity, sometimes light heartedly and sarcastically, to help reveal importance, value, and perspective.
The current movement in America toward nationalization and socialism, which have both been proven multiple times to be precursors to catastrophic failure of governmental and societal systems, is a substantial concern. Comments associated with this movement sadly lose their light heartedness, and sarcasm degrades to pure criticism. Sorry.
Other than that, hopefully this is just a fun place to discharge some otherwise pent up creative energy.
