The Aftermath of Recent Events
The COVID-19 Pandemic Hit USA
The US Economy Shuts Down
The Killing of George Floyd
The Black Lives Matter Movement
Defund Police Departments
Reopening the US Economy
These are the issues that the General Public must deal with going into the 2020 Presidential Election to take place in November. The General Public, not the Mainstream Media or the Political Polls, must decide in the privacy of their own homes, apartments, or wherever they live which Presidential Candidate is the best choice to take this country forward... and, I am not that confident that it will be a matter of just voting along Political Party lines.... that is to say that Trump has his good and bad points and Biden has shifted more liberal and progressive than he first appeared to be.
AMERICANS MUST DECIDE:
1. Do you want your taxes to increase?
2. Do you want to defund the police?
3. Do you want a Socialistic Government?
4. Do you want to rewrite the US Constitution?
5. Do you want a GREEN NEW DEAL?
6. Do you want Economic Equality?
7. Do you want to limit Corporate Profits?
The SQUAD

| REMEMBER THESE FACES... |
These four newly elected members of Congress want to create a:
- NEW ECONOMIC SYSTEM FOR THE USA
- NEW GOVERNMENT SYSTEM FOR THE USA
Of course, most of America is ignoring these 4 ladies and their opinions but the MAINSTREAM MEDIA is spinning their ideas as the CORE IDEALS of the Democratic Party and that Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House has NO CONTROL over these 4 ladies at all...
IN essence, they was an economic system where everyone basically earns the same amount of money and therefore has the same opportunities as everyone else... so that, everyone earns $100,000 or $150,000 regardless of what they do...
This way, minorities no longer have to struggle economically and can wear fancy clothes, own luxury cars, be given the same size home that everyone else has, and own a vacation home either at the beach or in the mountains.
- This would make education irrelevant
- This would make experience irrelevant
- This would make technical skills irrelevant
- This would make athletic skills irrelevant
- This would make musical skills irrelevant
- This would make acting skills irrelevant
NOW, as far as the new government is concerned... well, we first have to demolish the old form of government which would mean abolishing the US CONSTITUTION and the BILL OF RIGHTS, the AMERICAN FLAG... for starters... but, I am not sure how that would impact our military branches, our Coast Guard and our National Guard.
We already know that there is a movement underway, endorsed by COLLEGE PROFESSORS to take money away from the police and give to POOR COMMUNITIES... This would elevate the POOR COMMUNITIES into WELL-TO-DO COMMUNITIES and there would not longer be a need for the police.
HOWEVER, the 4 ladies have over-looked ILLEGAL DRUG SALES, PIMPS and WHORES, and HUMAN TRAFFICKING that is rampant all over the USA especially in many of these communities that these 4 ladies want to transform...
I doubt very seriously if the MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL or the RUSSIAN MAFIA or the JAPANESE YAKUZA really gives a damn about what these 4 ladies want.
BUT HEY... this is just one man's opinion....
And, I have not yet touched on CAPITALISM and the growing popularity of LEGAL MARIJUANA...

I'm Not Sure What I Am Around the House
It would also appear that they no longer (and I could be mistaken here) a variable chuck that accommodates all sizes of drill bits from 1/4 to 1/2 but you get a quick release chuck that either holds the 1/4 inch bit or the 1/2 inch bit; however, there is a holder (adapter) that my Lowe's Customer Service Buddy failed to mention that allows the user to have a 1/2 inch drill bit operating in a 1/4 inch drill...
I am not a handyman around the house and I never wanted to be a handyman around the house like my father was and my sister's second husband still is... I understand that as a handyman around the house, one can save "tons" of money on home repairs and refurbishing but I just never wanted to be that kind of guy... my first wife was ok with that but my second wife is not... hence the need to buy an impact drill... I mean driver...
I have tried to explain to her over and over again that,
- I am not a carpenter
- I am not an electrician
- I am not a plumber
- I am not a brick layer
- I don't repair lawn mowers, vehicles, washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, or microwaves...
HOWEVER, I can build her a damn computer
because I trained as a PC Technician for two
years but it has been so long since I build one,
I doubt if I remember much.

An American Crime
Our online dictionary defines SURVIVAL as the state or fact of continuing to live or exist, typically in spite of an accident, ordeal, or difficult circumstances.
Continuing to Exist is the key phrase here... and, as mentioned can be traced back to the beginning of time if necessary.
Life itself is violent as it continues to survive whether it be plants, animals, or humans.
Human beings ever since their creation or evolutionary existence, regardless of their race, gender, and color have struggled to survive and have used others in that process whether the be equals or slaves... and, we can see evidence quite easily in Egypt where one race of people enslaved another race of people to build the pyramids... and yet, all artifacts relative to that enslavement have been preserved but none destroyed because of the guilt of the past.
Why are American Blacks different from African Blacks and the African Slaves that built the pyramids in Egypt... I lived in Egypt for 4 years and never witnessed any hysteria over the fact that Egyptians once owned and became powerful and wealthy because they had once owned and used slaves....
Why is American any different?
Don't we set the role model for the rest of the world to follow and/or emulate.
How embarrassing to all the HISTORIANS... that survival has become an American Crime.
The Utter Simplicity of Economics
Let's start with a definition, shall we...
DEFINITION OF ECONOMICS -- The study of the allocation of scare resources to the marketplace that have multiple uses... In so doing, we can look at production, distribution, consumption, and wealth transfer.
Supply and Demand dictate the price of a resource. For example, supplier want more money if they produce more products because it takes more raw materials and labor to produce those products. The line that we would draw would be like connecting the left bottom corner of a square to the top right corner of that same square...
But, let focus on a few KEY WORDS...
Study -- this is nothing more that collecting and analyzing data that pertains to the production, distribution, consumption, and wealth transfer regarding these scare resources.
Allocation -- is nothing more that looking at what item(s) go to what person or people and why.
Scarce Resources -- resources are always considered to be in scarce supply because no matter how fast or quickly we transport the resources to the marketplace, we simply cannot get them there all at one time.
Multiple Uses -- a resource is said to have multiple uses if it can be used for more than one thing like: eggs, flour, circuit breakers, rubber, petroleum oil, wood/lumber, glass, etc.
This line is called the Supply Line.
Consumers, on the other hand, want to pay less for a product if they are willing to purchase several of them at one time. This line would be like connecting the bottom right corner of that same square to the upper left corner.
As you can see, we have just draw a BIG "X" in that box.
Where those two lines intersect, is the ideal price for that particular item. Supply and Demand lines can reflect one item at a time like Ford Escorts 1999 or multiple items at a time that the selling of all vehicles regardless of make and model and year.
So, people who study the economy and the allocation of our scarce resources are looking at all the factors that influence production, all the factors that influence distribution, all the factors that influence consumption, and all the factors that influence how money changes hands or wealth transfer in order to predict what the economy might do in the next 3 months or the next 6 months or for the next year.
Predicting what the economy may or may not do helps businesses decide if they should expand and hire more people or not expand and possibly layoff people. The reason that company are faced with these types of decisions is that most of our companies sell stock and those people who purchased that stock (Shareholders or Stockholders) did so with the promise of receiving a substantial dividend every 90 days. If the company fails to honor their promise to the Shareholders then the CEO of that company could possibly find himself or herself on the unemployment line.
There are two basic areas of Economics: MICRO (small) and MACRO (large) and basically can be explained like this:
- looking at the individual is MICRO
- looking at the family is MACRO
- looking at the family is MICRO
- looking at the community is MACRO
- looking at the community is MICRO
- looking at the city is MACRO
- looking at the city is MICRO
- looking at the region is MACRO
- looking at the region is MICRO
- looking at the State is MACRO
- looking at the State is MICRO
- looking at the USA is MACRO
- looking at the USA is MICRO
- looking at the world is MACRO
If prices of a particular item increase too high, then the consumer will find a substitute until the price returns to that point where they feel it is a good buy once again.
Sometimes, those who study economics CANNOT predict what they consumer is going to do at any given point-in-time which is why predictions and forecasts do not always work out. Think of it this way... In 2015 all the polls were reporting based upon data collected that Trump was going to lose the election.
