End of The Road

Through the year of 2019, we have seen major multi-million dollar companies go under. Just the last three months we seen Forever 21 go under. Then in early December, a major Trucking company Celadon closed their doors leaving truckers out on the road stranded. Now U.S. Steel is going under.  

The Great Lakes Workers facility won’t officially close until April 1, 2020. There’s a terrible April Fool’s joke. U.S. Steel sent a voicemail to the mayor Michael Bowdler, of River Rouge. A town that sits on the Detroit River just south of Detroit. Another company abanding Michigan. Needless to say Michigan will have over 1,200 people out of work officially in April. The Trucking company I mentioned above left 4,000 people without a job out of the blue to some of them. There were a thousand office employees and three thousand truckers. 

Also, stores like Dollar General, Family Dollar and Fred’s are going to start cutting back on purchasing and staff. These are the most affordable stores you can go to. If they are cutting back in January, what does that say about the economy? Someone, please explain how these tariffs are supposed to be helping us and hurting the Chinese?  According to the article Sleeping dragon no more: China about to replace US as strongest naval power and Washington is too late to stop it, I found on RT.com, China is replacing the US as a military Powerhouse. As is Russia as well. They have been innovating their military supplies such as gear that is worn and vehicles. Russia has a hypersonic missile for crying out loud. They could launch it from Cuba and be on the beach by the time we figure out what happened. Think about this people. They can level our government buildings in Washington DC and we wouldn’t know anything except Iran did it.

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
