Greetings good citizen,
I am still struggling to adapt to a work routine (two years of being a slug doesn’t help) I am, er, ‘worried’ by this first sure sign of ‘economic recovery’.
They ship work overseas and the ‘customer base’ collapses. (The unemployed can’t afford your product.) As local economies ‘adjust’ (the unemployed pull up stakes and head to where the work is) ‘recovery’ is declared and they start farming out work again!
As you can see, the so-called ‘recovery’ is the final stage of this cycle.
Now how much longer can they keep this up is unknown, they’ve almost completely hollowed out the US and Japanese economies (and completely destroyed the Real Estate markets in both countries in the process.)
Now, I count myself as fortunate. I landed a ‘real job’; 40 hours with full benefits and not the part-time/no insurance or benefit purgatory that most of the ‘inexperienced’ find themselves condemned to.
And the looming energy crisis seems to be driving a movement to restore some local capacity in basic industries while there is still some talent who remembers how to do it!
Whether or not this movement can sustain itself when a renewed contraction strikes remains to be seen.
But we’re talking patterns here.
Now the ‘new normal’ can form the basis for a real recovery BUT you need to ‘let it ride’ and establish itself.
Why don’t I think this is what they have in mind for us good citizen?
Would that it were that we have finally reached the end of the global race to the bottom that was completely 'unnecessary’ in the first place.
But you know as well as I that this thing won’t be over until the oligarchy can protect itself from prosecution.
And short of wiping out an entire generation I don’t see how they can do that.
But it’s not stopping them from trying:
We even have our ‘activist’ (conservo-loony) judges to prove this argument.
No civilization can stand without justice…sometimes they take a long time to fall but in the end the final destination remains unchanged.
The bad apples use the ‘holes’ left in the legal system by the founders to drive civilization off a cliff.
Why do those holes exist?
Because the founders didn’t want to leave themselves open to prosecution!
No society founded on theft can survive for long so how sad is it that the backbone of capitalism is the ‘fake ownership’ of that which belongs to us all?
Understand good citizen, the ‘well, it’s not yours’ argument leads directly back to the ‘why don’t I kill you where you stand?’ question.
Were I writing this for the firewalled version, there would be some mighty choice expletives employed here.
Especially surrounding the argument as to whether or not lynching someone for being a greedy blockhead is ‘justifiable’…
Or perhaps just for being a blockhead as we can observe in our final offering:
No doubt this is sometimes ‘witch hunts’ like the recent attack [by Fox News] on a local animal control officer but half of the stories center on malfeasance and inappropriate behavior of wide range of, er, ‘public servants’.
Now we hire (and supposedly psychologically screen) our police forces to carry guns…and our most recent nation headline shows once again that the ‘screening process’ isn’t ‘infallible’. [re: the Park Ranger who blew away the reality show host for being in the company of his wife while he was elsewhere.]
The ‘green-eyed monster’ is probably the most powerful of them all but it still provides an case in point. Kids are designed to frustrate you, even if you’re taught to deal with that, kids can ‘get under your skin and push your buttons’ because you’re in the protectors role.
They trust you not to harm them.
They even have the chutzpah to give you that knowing little smirk after they’ve twisted the knife and you’ve retaliated by suspending them (although you’d prefer to have had them drawn and quartered!)
Do you really want to add handguns into that volatile environment?
Not that we humans are overly smart…like the young lady who wanted to ‘play with the kitty’…what part of ‘wild’ didn’t she understand…because she sure understands it now!
Mother Nature is VERY ‘unforgiving’ and we need to respect that…or we will pay.
Thanks for letting me inside your head,

Unemployment at 4-Year Low as U.S. Hiring Gains SteamWhy would I be ‘worried’ good citizen? Because I’ve seen this before…many times.
By NELSON D. SCHWARTZ and BINYAMIN APPELBAUM
The joblessness rate sank to 7.7 percent as 236,000 positions were added across a broad range of sectors, but analysts warned that federal budget cuts could slow the recovery.

Blocked Bids to Fill Judgeships Stir New Fight on FilibusterOur best, er, ‘indicator’ of social health has been our badly broken political system. The very fact that most of the commerce system is in private hands contradicts the precepts of a ‘democratic’ society.

Republican senators have so far kept President Obama from filling any of the four vacancies on the nation's most important appeals court, reviving talk of a change in Senate rules.

Um, as I commented repeatedly and I’m sure you have noticed the same phenomenon in your own local news organs, the local rag exists to highlight the bad behavior of people in positions of public trust.
Law Backs Guns in Class for Teachers in South Dakota
By JOHN ELIGON
South Dakota became the first state to enact a law explicitly authorizing school employees to carry guns on the job, under a measure signed Friday by Gov. Dennis Daugaard.
