Reflective Blog For The Week Of November 17th

This week in the legendary 3rd block econ class we introduced a new form of currency. These Weserville dollars are a different than the town money. Apparently being late to class fines you five dollars so I am already down some money. :( 2 Tissues is worth 1 dollar so expect a lot more snot to be flying around the classroom. Eating costs money as well so Boomer will have to starve. Charging your laptop cost money so remember to charge it at home. Everyone gets a salary for the jobs they do in the town. We also have to pay the fines of the town and cover many costs. We also split into groups and each group was a separate island. Each island as its own unique resource as well as lava, buffalo, fresh water, coconuts, and bananas. One island has fish, one has fighter jets, one has diamonds, one has coins, and mine has oil. The currency between the islands is the obsidian coin. If you think there is a possibly better form of currency please suggest it in the comments below.

Reflective Blog For The Week Of November 2nd

This week in econ I was gone Tuesday due to extreme sickness and I was not there Friday because I was busy running state championships. On Tuesday there was an electron for the new governor of Virginia and it was a race that was truly about Obamacare and party differences. It was Terry McCaulife (D) against Ken Cuchinelli (R). I liked Ken better because he opposed Obamacare and he had better ideals overall for fixing America and going back to our old ideals and way of thinking. I didn't like Terry because he backed Obamacare and his ads were slanderish and manipulative to uneducated voters. He claimed that Ken was going to make it so minorities can't vote which is extreme to say. I think that that is just shameful and I'm very dissapointed that he won. I miss Bob.

Reflective Blog For The Week Of October 27th

This week in Econ was very much centered on Weserville, specifically Wal-Mart. The main conflict this week has been whether or not wal-mart can come into town. We were divided into groups based off of what businesses we were a part of. One group for wal-mart and one against. My group was for wal-mart coming into town and we said that it would be good because it would help with the unemployment and it would bring more people into Weserville. It would also bring more businesses and more competition. It would make it easier for people to buy products that they need without having to waste gas and take a long time. Personally I haven't decided whether I want it or not, I kinda do but I kinda don't at the same time. Its a very important factor in Weserville and it could greatly impact our town's future.
