Standard of Living

The standard of living in America has dropped to a scary level. Countries like Denmark, Ukraine, and other socialist countries have a higher standard of living than we do.
 
Holy crap! Meantime people are jumping through hoops to sing Trump's praise and the level poverty is getting worst. Our last Gini Co-Efficient is .80. Russia in 1917 wasn't that high. We are almost at .1% which is the highest point. You can't go any higher than 1%. 
 
Back in the summer, Philip Alston did a study for the United Nations. Now we have talked about this group. Usually they are completely useless, however, I think they hit the nail on the head.  Back in June, we saw Nikki Haley announce that the US would leave the Council on Human Rights committee. Of course, we were given a fake reason for it. The truth is, Haley knew this report was coming out. Our poverty was said by her, from one of the worst states in America with its anti-poverty treatment, South Carolina, said our poverty wasn't UN's business. 
 
According to her, our poverty issues will be resolved internally. Through of all places, Washington D.C. That's a laugh. Nothing ever gets done through them. The fact is what Mr. Alston found caused a lot of anger. It showed that capitalism is failing. There are socialist countries who have a better standard of living than we do.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
