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.

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 ...

the NFL & Money (No right or wrong)

Here is my take ... It has been reported that Athletes participating in the league will most likely be susceptible to suffering from CTE and other lingering injuries playing the game. Do note, that many parents are becoming less likely to encourage their children (unless it is the only way out of their socioeconomic status) to play football because of those injuries. The NFL is not expected to stop playing the game because of this harm. Could it be they fear the loss of money and status? Recently, the NFL was shocked by the trend associated with “Colin Kaepernick”  protesting American political and social issues by refusing to honor the playing of the “Star Spangled Banner.” Once again, money was and is the issue here. We have no idea of what the owners of the NFL are thinking because whatever they decided to do was to make sure fans continued to watch and attend football games. Revenue from ticket sales and television viewing is a pretty big deal. Recent relocations of sever...

Trudeau, G7 (or G6 +1) and Trump

I am not altogether displeased with the way President Trump handled himself during this weekend's Economic Summit in Quebec, Canada. And on top of all that, I am impressed with the ongoing Twitter dialogue (if that is what one would call it) with the Canadian Prime Minister, Trudeau. Due to the way in which the opposition here in the United States treats the President, it's not too much of a surprise that the rest of the world thinks they can do the same. The members of the G7 are also politicians playing to their home crowd and they shouldn't expect the US to be any different in protecting the best interests of our country. President Trump  being the street fighter (from, New York) that he is certainly never misses the opportunity to respond in kind. As to tariffs .... it would seem each country has their own set of tariffs to protect their industries. Screaming out loud in economic pain over our need to do the same is disingenuous at best. I am intrigued by the po...
