Seat at the Table: Including our Veterans to Rebuild Civil Society      D.R. Scott DuLac Advisory   When I was 9 years old, my Grandfather showed me a pocket-watch photo of his Great Grandfather in Union Blues, during America’s Civil War. Born in the days of race-based enslavement, I looked proudly at this time portal to my ancestor who left all he knew to help make other men free.   Just think, when he joined the Army, America did not have the 13 th , 14 th , or 15 th Amendments.

This is an ironic contra-positive to the historic trumpeting of previous during war time efforts where strength was projected outward. Entire livelihoods are now in limbo. The economy will certainly go back to what it has before when knocked down. However, the pace an...

    Against All Odds: Why the Election is (still) a 50-50 Chance D.R. Scott DuLac Advisory The election analytic firms are estimating a Biden electoral college win with   80-90% probability . From a macro point of view, it is not too surprising given the economic backdrop: the single likely predictor for the winner of the presidency is the state of the economy. In 1980, 1992, and 2000, the United States experienced recessions or just emerging from contractions. Each election experienced a flip in parties within the executive office. What is the economic backdrop for 2020?   Against all odds given expectations this past summer, a couple of green shoots have emerged in 2020 that are providing a floor to the economic question: ·          Record GDP that nearly places America back at flush for the year, ·          Record number of jobs created since the economy bottomed out in July ...
