Monopoly's Inventor: The Progressive Who Didn't Pass 'Go'
The Landlord's Game, which became Monopoly, was created by Elizabeth Magie Phillips
by Mary Pilon
Feb. 13, 2015
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/15/business/behind-monopoly-an-inventor-who-didnt-pass-go.html
Every box of Monopoly should give Elizabeth "Lizzie" J. Magie Phillips credit for the game. A percentage of sales of every Monopoly game sold in all forms should go towards k-12 education in many countries dealing with business, science, inventing.
The invention process may be extremely not ethical - example - Elizabeth "Lizzie" J. Maggie Phillips not getting most of the credit for Monopoly from Parker Brothers and Hasbro.

Does Disney give credit to Helen Aberson for creating Dumbo before movie starts and after movie ends? Does she get any credit from Disney dealing with books, movies, merchandise?
The Original 'Dumbo' Story Would Have Had More Twists and Turns
Before soaring into theaters, Disney's flying elephant was about to be published as a scrolling children's book
by David Kindy
March 25, 2019
"Aberson and Pearl were credited on the original books as the authors. They retained that distinction until 1968, when the original copyright expired. After that, Disney no longer included their names on the book, which deeply saddened Mayer's mother. "

I often wonder if many male CEOs would betray their daughters if they could make $5 more a year.
Media should ask male CEOs of companies who have daughters if they pay their top female employees less than their best male employees for the same quality of work.

Women In Business
If you do business in parts of USA or in foreign country, keep in mind women and men may have far more physical contact in their culture than culture of most of USA.
Best advice - get permission before touch person or get in person's physical space.
Many people do not like to be hugged.
Russia - Cultural Etiquette - e Diplomat
www.ediplomat.com/np/cultural_etiquette/ce_ru.htm
"Hugs, backslapping, kisses on the cheeks and other expansive gestures are common among friends or acquaintances and between members of the same sex."
Spain - Cultural Etiquette - e Diplomat
www.ediplomat.com/np/cultural_etiquette/ce_es.htm
"Never touch, hug or back slap a Spaniard you do not know well, unless a friendly Spaniard touches you first."
Do cultures that have far more contact than ours have less suicides of children, teens, and adults?

23 Home Invasion Statistics You Should Be Afraid Of
by Kim P
https://www.creditdonkey.com/home-invasion-statistics.html
Bullying starts in grade school. The bullying may lead to suicides and school shootings. Bullying happened to me in grade school after I tried to get students to stop bullying a girl at school.
Students who are bullied at school may use parents guns to commit suicide.
Guns reduce rapes, robberies, and home invasions.
Many children kill themselves by accident with their parents guns.
Many parents kill their children by accident when the children are playing hide and seek.
Many parents kill their children when the children are sneaking home from a party.
Main threat to schools is 4 person White Christian terrorist teams that have body armor, military grade guns, and high capacity ammo clips.
Congress should ban the sale of military grade guns and high capacity ammo clips to civilians.
Amendment 2 of the Constitution does not allow civilians to own nuclear weapons, bazookas, surface to air missiles capable of blowing up planes, etc.
You want hand guns and/or rifles for home security. You want to be able to control the weapon. You want to be able to control how many shots you fire.
What you do not want for home security is an AR-15 or similar military grade gun. You are likely to kill other members of your family in another part of your house or your neighbors. It makes lot more sense to own a sniper rifle and scope than an AR-15 for home security because the sniper rifle is easier to control.
HUMOR AND GOOD NEWS
Humorous columns I wrote years ago - the 1st column deals with how bad life in the USA is likely to be if I am President of the United States of America. One of the columns is what not to do at a job interview. One of the columns is debate advice for people who are running for President of the United States of America. One of the columns is how a business may decrease its sales and profits. One of the columns deals with personal security. One of the columns deals with airports.
