Urgency, subdivided

There is my own sense of urgency as it applies to this blog and my own situation. The blog doesn't generate income. It would be great if it did. It would solve a lot of problems if it did. But that is not happening and the time is growing shorter every day.

I can attempt to solve that problem in a number of ways, which I have discussed here. One is to increase the audience and to get some sales going. Another is to buy time in order to build more audience and keep on working at getting a revenue stream going. Selling my truck addresses the latter. Getting a bigger audience is the former. There's the time element as mentioned. Also, the lack of expertise which has to learned on the fly. Lastly, the inertia factor has to be overcome. People just don't seem to be interested.

That gets to the larger picture, which is the world out there. In this country, there is a budget battle ongoing that's getting down to the end game for this cycle. Once the debt ceiling is raised, there is little incentive to do anything else until the aftermath of the next election. That means something needs to be done soon, or the opportunity will be lost. The key thing to remember is that there may not be more opportunities in the future. That's what brings a sense of urgency to the situation, assuming of course, that those who were brought into power during this last election cycle actually want to achieve anything during their stay in power. It could well be that any scenario imaginable may result in a brief stay in power. They may as well do the right thing while they are there.
