Why are change and innovation so hard to achieve? It's not why you think. The reality is this: we spend our days drowning in mundane tasks - meetings, emails, reports - often self-created complexities that prevent us from getting to the meaningful work that truly matters.

Post #6 Red Flag: Proof by Verbosity (article)

# data[].attributes.body
Definition: The Proof by Verbosity red flag represents an overload of information. It shows that the quantity of something is more valuable than the quality of it. For example, banks use verbosity by using bank jargon in their contracts and loan agreements. Not many people would read each word in a 10 page document, so they agree with the bank because they believe that the bank would not put so much time and effort into something if it weren't true.

Connection: Proof by Verbosity is used in this article because it shows how credit card companies use long winded agreements to coerce the buyer into agreeing on something they don't fully understand. This connects the two together by showing that banks and creditors follow this red flag with a very well used product: credit cards.

Justin Barton has had several credit cards over the years, but the 35-year-old admits he has not actually read any of the contracts that go along with them.

"I've never really read it in detail, just skimmed through it and signed my name to it," he said.

That's because Barton, like many Americans, finds the contracts too confusing.

"There's a lot of fine print in there," Barton said. "You almost need a law degree to understand it."

According to a new analysis from CreditCards.com, about 75 percent of Americans do not regularly read their credit card's contracts.

The analysis also found that the average contract requires reading at an 11th grade level, yet half of the adult population reads at a 9th grade level or below. Plus, the average agreement is nearly 5,000 words long.

In fact, the less a consumer might appear to understand, the better chance they will be targeted with high-risk offers from credit card companies.

Antoinette Schoar, chair of the finance department at MIT Sloan School of Management, examined roughly a million credit card offers. She found that customers are targeted in part by their education level.

"Customers who are more educated and financially more sophisticated receive very different credit terms," she said.

Schoar said that some companies send less-sophisticated consumers flashier letters with pictures and entice them with zero-percent annual percentage rates, but fail to highlight hidden and back-loaded fees.

Her advice for anyone who gets a credit card offer in the mail is to look at the last page. That is where consumers can find "all the important features, in particular the APR, the late fees, and all the finance charges that are on the card."

CBS News reached out to the American Bankers Association for comment, and the organization said it strongly supports clear and simple disclosures.

Post #5 Red Flag: Suppressed by Authorities (authorities)

# data[].attributes.body
Definition: The Suppressed by Authorities red flag gives the idea that larger corporations, such as the government, are hiding the cures or solutions to large problems. Or, they are failing to address situations at hand.

Connection: The mass shooting in Florida sparked a national out roar on current gun laws by a large amount of people all over the United States. I believe that the gun laws are being suppressed by the government. They have the power to change the gun laws. But why would they, when the President receives $30 Million from the National Rifle Associate every year?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
MIAMI - The Florida State Senate shocked even itself on Saturday when it voted to approve a two-year moratorium on sales of AR-15 semiautomatic rifles, going far beyond the gun-related measures that Republican legislative leaders said they would consider.

Tellingly, though, that two-year moratorium lasted only 15 minutes.

It had been approved by a voice vote, and opponents quickly insisted on reconsidering it, this time with a roll call to formally record how each senator voted. Evidently that turned some of the ayes heard by the Senate president into nays, because the proposal was defeated, 21 to 17.

The moratorium episode - the closest that Florida's Democratic gun-control proponents have come to success after a Feb. 14 shooting rampage, at a high school in Parkland, left 17 people dead - illustrates why it is so difficult to pass firearm restrictions in the State Legislature: When it comes to backing a significant change, even a popular one, the votes just aren't there.

Democrats are powerless in capital

In the rare Saturday session, the Senate debated a Republican-sponsored bill that would raise the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21 from 18; mandate a three-day waiting period for most gun purchases; ban bump stocks, which enable semiautomatic rifles to fire much faster; and set up a voluntary program to arm trained schoolteachers and pay them a stipend to participate.

Democrats offered a slew of amendments over eight hours of debate on the bill, including a permanent ban on assault weapons and the elimination of the armed-teacher program. Both of those changes would be popular with Florida voters: A Quinnipiac University poll released last week showed that 62 percent favored an assault weapons ban and 56 percent opposed giving teachers firearms.

The 15 Democrats in the State Senate presented a united front, but it mattered little. Republicans hold 23 of the Senate's 40 seats (two are vacant), leaving Democrats with too few votes to block bills on their own. And though the map of State Senate districts was redrawn by court order in 2016 to make it more fair, only a few Republican senators represent competitive districts, where voting against gun control might hurt them in a general election.

As a result, Democrats managed to get just one amendment passed: adding 12 hours of required diversity training for participants in the program to arm teachers. That was meant to address black lawmakers' concerns that teachers with guns might discriminate against black students in deciding when to use them.

South Florida is not like other areas

Students from the school in Parkland, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, sprang into political action after losing classmates and teachers in the Feb. 14 mass shooting. They traveled by the busload to Tallahassee, meeting with lawmakers, chanting in hallways and protesting on the steps of the State Capitol in favor of stricter gun laws.

But Parkland is in Broward County, the most heavily Democratic county in Florida. No Republican senator represents any part of the county; there was no chance of one of them breaking party ranks to side with student survivors from the district.

The only two Republican senators who did consistently vote with the Democrats on Saturday were Anitere Flores and René García, representing neighboring Miami-Dade County. That is Florida's most populous and most urban county, where even Republican constituents tend to be less strident about gun rights than in the rest of the state.

A third Republican senator, Tom Lee, from the Tampa Bay area, joined in efforts to scrap the statewide armed-teacher program, which he called needlessly divisive, noting that local sheriffs and school superintendents can already set up such programs where they are wanted.

Midterm politics are at play

Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican, has maintained that he does not want to arm teachers. He is widely expected to run for a United States Senate seat this year, and knows he will have to appeal to voters beyond his own party in a race against the incumbent Democrat, Bill Nelson.

But the calculus is different for the speaker of the House, Richard Corcoran, a likely candidate for governor in a crowded Republican field. Mr. Corcoran would like to appeal to President Trump's voter base in his party's primary, and he has backed the armed-teacher program enthusiastically, calling it a "game changer."

The Senate president, Joe Negron, also a Republican, suggested a possible compromise on Friday, arming noninstructional school personnel rather than teachers. Mr. Scott did not respond last week when asked whether he would accept that.

One way or another, though, Mr. Scott has said he is determined to pass the gun package, which would also include significant funding for school safety and mental health measures, before the end of the annual legislative session, which is scheduled to wrap up on Friday.

Definition: The Confirmation Bias is the idea of latching on to facts to confirm the legitimacy of a certain statement or fact. For example, if I think that someone is a liar, I will look for any clue to convince me that indeed that person is a liar.

Connection: This Powerade advertisement has a Confirmation Bias red flag in this because it's trying to convince you that Powerade is a complete solution to your thirst by putting scientific claims in there and pushing your mind to confirm the facts.

Definition: The Red Herring red flag means that one party in the conversation will attempt to deter the other party by deliberately changing the topic of the initial conversation. For example, Michelle and I are having a conversation about potato chips. Michelle asks me why I don't like potato chips. I begin to talk about basketball, which then abandons the conversation about potato chips.

Connection: In this episode of Family Guy, two candidates are running for mayor. They hold a press conference for the public to ask questions. The red herring red flag is used here because they deter the audience by discussing issues that are more appealing to them, versus their initial question.

Post #2 Red Flag: Appeal to Authority (image)

# data[].attributes.body
Definition: Appealing to Authority means that people will follow the advice of those in charge. For example, if a dentist recommends a certain type of toothpaste, chances are, people will look to buy that specific brand of toothpaste because an authoritative figure said so.

Connection: This advertisement represents an Appeal to Authority red flag because of it's recommendation by doctors. By using the words "studies have shown", the authorities, doctors, are giving off the impression that soda should be drank from a young age. However, the amount of sugar within soda is extremely high and would actually be unsafe for a young infant to consume.
