And that's my point, it is very difficult to look at our numbers, and not become a realist. I wish I could poop gumdrops, I wish America could be great again. I don't see how. Well, I do see how, but the American public would not be keen on the surgery needed to make us well. Surgery is very bloody, it hurts, and you have to lose all sorts of things. Scalpels, radiation, caustic chemicals. Nasty stuff. Slowing immigration isn't going to do it. Reversing it, by deporting millions, and building a wall would have done it. It doesn't seem like we're going to get that.
America is a huge machine, and when you turn off a huge machine it still runs for a while. The cogs spin, the levers chug along and everything looks quite lively although it is dead. Our power was removed a while ago. All civilizations have a limited span, and we, unfortunately hit our peak with the moon landings.
I was a lead designer on several projects funded by NASA. One of my friends bought the farm that was owned by Neil Armstrong in the past. We took a long walk down by the creek. Walking in Neil’s footprints, lol. I imagine how many times he looked up at the moon from there. I also became a 99’er, jobless and hopeless. I saw where you were going with those pictures. There is an agenda going on. I’ve been a flea market vendor in the past, not much escapes your eye there watching the changing demographics and this was a decade ago. This article should really piss you off. A Hispanic chamber of commerce in Ohio??? If the Hispanic running it made these statements as a white person he would be called a racist and run out of town. It also gives you and insight into the local employers mindset. http://www.journal-news.com/business/chamber-leaders-employers-struggling-find-skilled-labor/f6VjRINxhT3YraJ9SLUT4L/
