the GOLDEN EGG

Simply put ... YOU CANNOT KILL THE GOOSE that LAYS the GOLDEN EGGS.

Regarding this point, there is NO viable argument.

Our economy is based upon its participants being able to consume. If the CONSUMER (Goose) is not consuming (buying stuff), then the economy falls apart and collapses ... thus NO GOLDEN EGGS for investors, corporations and their owners.

If wages are too low and prices too high, then our pay is gobbled up by the basic necessities of survival. Not only do we struggle for those necessities at some point, but there is little room left for optional things (e.g. buying a new car, Detroit).

Subsequent to our most recent economic down turn, prices have continued to rise, but pay for the rank and file have gone down. There is really no way for a complete economic recovery (Gold Egg) if the the consumer (Goose) is losing ground.

From my perspective, it would seem that the privileged are thinking short term and seeking to exploit those of us on the low end. Companies are cutting labor costs and even hoarding their cash/profit windfall over seas (at least up to this point) in order to avoid paying their fair share. they do not appear to even contemplate returning some of those profits to their employees ... thinking like this will ultimately lead to nothing more than economic ruin for one and all.

I just have one warning for the haves (business owners, property owners, corporate stock owners etc.) ....

"Just Say No" to killing the GOLDEN GOOSE. If you don't care about the little people, think in the long term about your own GOLDEN EGG lined pockets.

Behavioral Modification

I have spent the last week or so being around young school age children in our local school district. Ages ranging from Prep-K up to early high school. I have to admit it's fascinating to watch how the system works in order to make these young people comply with acceptable behavior. For example ...  be quiet when they want to talk, sit still when they want to dance, study when they want to play, stand in line when they wish to wander and the biggie to say that which is acceptable to say as opposed to speaking honestly about what's in their hearts and minds. As somewhat of an outsider, I watched the enforcers take action against those who failed to comply. Amazingly enough, the students did exactly what they were told to do. BUT ...... As soon as the enforcer was gone, they became who they are ... KIDS!!! You got to love them!!!

Our Current Political Leaders are a DISGRACE

This current batch of political leaders are most disingenuous ... thus, disgracing their elevated leadership status. Perhaps, referring to them as such is a little strong .... nevertheless, it may NOT be too far off the mark. If any of our elected leaders truly cared about a solution to the immigration problem, then at this very moment we would be talking about workable solutions instead of blaming each other for the lack thereof. The images we are being presented with regarding detention of children are simply put forth to elicit emotional outbursts as opposed to serving as a basis for generating solutions to the overall problem of illegal immigration and border security. Once again, the defenseless  (in this case the most helpless of all ... children) are getting hurt and are no more than political pawns. Hey!!! Washington ... these defenseless folks have families, breath, blood and emotions. Management types in business, will tell the minions ... that if we are not par...

Human - Sex/Labor Trafficking

Human trafficking is characterized by the use of force, fraud or coercion to lure their victims into some type of labor or commercial sex act. Not all of these above factors may be present in every situation. Human trafficking is a crime which is seldom reported due to language barriers, fear of traffickers and possibly fear of law enforcement itself. Craigslist, to their credit ... removed the "Personals" section within their online service in March of 2018 due to Federal legislative decree stiffening penalties associated with sex trafficking. It was the right move legally, ethically and morally. Sex trafficking is a subset of the larger issue known as "Human Trafficking." It is not an unreasonable stretch of logic to equate sex trafficking with the trafficking of labor, e.g. illegals being brought into the U.S. for the purpose of working in American businesses. A good number of American businesses are INDEED guilty of said labor trafficking. No place is ...
