"I used to think that a name like Sisolak which has an immigrant spelling could be counted on to uphold the creation of Our Nation’s Founders. How things have changed since the days of WWII when I served overseas and my brother was killed on Okinawa and the USA was in danger of being taken over by the Japs of that time to now when our own elected officials are willing to sell out the USA to the Chinese."

Agreed on selling real estate to foreign communists, but at least they were willing to manufacture on U.S. soil and hire American men. Kinda contrasts with all of the more popular willingness of our own government-linked global monopolists doing all of the manufacturing on foreign soil, doesn't it. I'm younger and was only trained at Ft. Leonard Wood and in the National Guard afterwards, by the way.

Yeah, things have changed. There are zoning laws against starting any new, small manufacturing or automotive repair shops in sparsely populated counties in the middle of nowhere in the West, and we're well aware that such regulations are supported by most residents with government and government-connected incomes.

We also know that without a much larger manufacturing base on our own soil (not only American-"based") right now (too late), there will be a contagious bond collapse before long, followed by investor haircuts, skyrocketing interest rates, pension haircuts, more business failures, government layoffs and so on.

There are better ways of building houses, heating systems, producing food and of manufacturing needed tools. There are many collaboration efforts to involve everyone who's willing to learn and practice. But those are only fun hobbies during this early part of the default process. The efforts will very quickly become more serious for young folks now being educated in those endeavors (real work), when so-called property values head low enough for a steer to trade for a lot. And we're not buying, until that comes to pass.

The new fascism, imported over the past few generations to the U.S.A. and enacted over the past 40 years, is no better than the old communism. And by the way, my surname's been in America since the 1660s, but that's not what really counts. The culture was what counted. Anyone who chooses to be an American can be an American. Too many people here are trying to be Europeans of the troublesome kind instead (see WWII).
