Sell each other Hamburgers

How does the American economy work? Once Kadizzle called his sister in West Virginia and asked her how the economy was in the Ohio Valley. Growing up there jobs existed, jobs like steel mills, chemical plants, coal mines, big machine shops.  Now that is all gone. My sister replied things are fine we just sell each other hamburgers.  Arizona is a case in point.  So many people do absolutely nothing.  Kadizzle sits in Cottonwood a town without any industry of any sort.  Phoenix has millions of people who just play pickle ball and shuffle board.  The biggest industry in Arizona is people waiting to die.

How can a country exist when most of the young people sit at computers tapping out programs to figure out what day it is.  The answer must be you borrow money.  Who lends you money? China owns us because they land us the money to buy their fribbles.

Think about how many people don't produce anything.  You have a gazzilion old people who do not make widgets.  You have a gazillion young people who do not make widgets.  At any given moment about twenty million people are in a car driving.  They make nothing but a mess.  In the sky at any moment over the United States there are six thousand aircraft full of people doing nothing.  How many people are tied up in the military doing nothing but wasting what we do produce?  Think about how many people are producing absolutely nothing you can wear or eat or sleep in or something that will keep you warm.  The answer is most people are very non productive. Go to a large city and see the large buildings full of people.  What are they doing?  You have insurance companies acting as parasites.  You have the banks creating petty crime on a massive scale.

Drive across the main southern route of BNSF railroad.  A train load of fribbles from China will go by about every fifteen minutes.  Trainloads of stuffed animals, back scratchers, and  vegimatics.  That train is just part of a shipload of junk from the far east.  In a couple weeks that train load of junk will first go to Walmart and then soon to the city dump in every small town.  Is all this sustainable?  How much shampoo can you dump in the river before the fish have clean hair?   How many plastic bags will it take to kill a tree when the bags blow across the parking lot.

Who benefits from the insanity?  All the money trickles to the top.  The people on top who sell the gas for the cars and the hamburgers need help, so The Donald is going to give them some tax breaks.  In the end it will trickle down.  We will be able to buy stuffed animals with our tax savings. and the cycle will keep going if the Chinese lend us the money to buy some neat Christmas lights to throw away in a month.
