The Big Disconnect

It amazes me when someone has no clue about whats going on with the economy. Some of this will depend on your income. If your retired? Still in the work force? I recently ran into a woman and she was clueless about people's situations and even the economy. She had this idea that people were in these situations of having to work more than one to two jobs because they were living beyond their means.

This is the smug belief that people shouldn't try to better themselves. They should except a certain level of income based on the narrow minded belief of others. The reality is that most of these people were not living above their means. Now they are having to work more than two jobs just to maintain.
I don't know if it's an age thing with some of these people or a generation thing with this judging others? It does remind me of the bucket of crabs stories.

I don't know where this sick idea comes from to try to drag down others who want more? I'm not going to say its a human thing. I think its a sick thing, human not so much. If you have confidence in yourself. You aren't as inclined to step on other people's dreams. The dream crushers are usually toxic waste. This is one of the reasons that I keep people like this away from me. Some people have them in their family and dread visiting them.

One of the things about the economy is that effected every industry globally. No one that worked in these global industries was at fault. If anything there were a lot of casualties in the fall out. Some have recovered, many are still in recovery or survival mode. There is still distrust in the stock market and retirement accounts.

It's still interesting to see how everything will shake out in the long run. A lot of people feel that the people that were prosecuted were not punished enough. Even their families got of easily. Their assets were not seized to make restitution for the crimes they committed. Other countries are still just trying to survive as their economies are limping along.

Demise of the Corporate Dinosaur

As more and more corporations implement these ridiculous metrics; it will be interesting to see how well they do when they have no more employees. What will happen when their automation isn't able to meet these metrics either. When you have a formula dictating what can and should be met. These businesses will quickly fall apart.

The only saving grace for these companies will be if they finally buy back all their shares and dump the share holders. They need to learn how to budget a company this large to weather all types of economy. Without these skills these companies will go the way of the dinosaur.

Small businesses that are family run will be in a better position to maneuver. They have learned their business from the ground up. Unlike their counter parts that have only learned to run a company but know nothing about the actual product or the challenges that a plant might face with equipment challenges.

Large corporations are not designed to be flexible. They try their best to maneuver in a changing economy and instead show how truly dated they really are. Until each part of a large corporation is made to actually run each section like an individual business they won't succeed. Each part of the organization needs to be creative and learn how to pull its own weight. It needs realistic standards and not some made up metrics that look great on paper but aren't achievable by human or machine.

By constantly chasing these insane unrealistic goals they are costing their companies more money by not investing in better equipment and not passing the costs on to their consumers. This like a dog chasing its tail. When you penalize your employees for not making goals that are truly designed for 5-6 people. You will eventually cost yourself more money as you fall further and further behind. This perpetual rat race can only go on for so long. The profits soon erode under the share holders demands for more money.

While the smaller businesses may be capital challenged at first glance. They will eventually win because they are like the tortoise in the race betwee the tortoise and the hair. Because they pay attention to the economy and have reserves put into place. They will be able to determine the changes in the consumer faster than a larger corporation. They have employees that have a vested interest in keeping not only their jobs but in the health of the company.

Smaller companies are usually more open to listening to their employees for suggestions. They have worked in some cases side by side in building the company. Large corporations look at their employees as a number. Smaller companies actually have a relationship with their employees and their customers. It's a more personal relationship that will win in the long run. This is what will keep the loyalty of a costomer versus that of a large corporation. Larger corporations have loyalty from their customers to a certain degree but even that can erode over time.

The Chess Game

As more and more events unfold, it is interesting to see what has changed and what has not; in all the centuries this game has been played out. The weather is an old trick. It will be interesting when the elementals have had enough. Everything on this planet is alive.

I find it interesting that there are always threats that justice will be carried out so far that has all been hot air. It would take the Justices and the Congress to actually untangle themselves from all the lies to start to take action.

So far we have some Governments posturing for warfare. This game of war is getting really old. Warfare is not a sustainable economy. Then we've had more hacking into data, this month. It will be interesting to see whose been paying attention and who is asleep at the wheel.

The zombie thing is already here, all you have to do is look to the nearest person to see how brain dead they've become. The addiction to the devices would almost rival that of crack addicts. Which was the very intent when they were created.

It will be interesting to see who comes out of this time line unscathed.

The threat of AI might go either way. First it would mean that Religion would have to give up making money from people. Religion makes alot of money with it's schools, churches and other nontaxable investments. I can't see them giving that up without a fight.

Greed is an interesting thing. Eventually it can actually cause the players to kill each other. It's the worst kind of addiction. Right now the only thing keeping that from happening is the combined interest in getting the masses to believe what their selling.

So far we're 9 months in with a different player and 3 years and 3 months to go. Will it be same game different face or will there actually be changes this time?

So many agendas, so little time! Justices have their agenda, Congress is the whore, who works for the highest bidder. The Government just wants the money to keep on coming at all costs.  The President? Who knows? So far everyone of them has done as their told. Which has nothing to do with the public interest.

Businesses

Right now some of the biggest Con's are being spun. Large Corporations get tax breaks for providing their employees with Health Care coverage and get volume discounts on that coverage. They even get tax breaks for retraining their employees. These are all things that are offered by our Government and you and I pick up the tab for this.

Small business can be a company that Makes as much as the low millions. It's all about perception and how you spin it. A lot of small and middle size companies don't qualify for some of these same benefits because they don't have enough employees.

It's interesting how the Media can spin things to make you think that those poor Goliath businesses just can't compete with these small businesses. When nothing could be further from the truth. A lot of those Goliath businesses are out sourcing as many of their jobs to ensure that the management can get a large bonus for saving the company money and making huge profits for the share holders.

The problem comes in when the Government that has allowed this to happen still expects the people that live in that country to continue to pay taxes at the same rate as the previous years. It's economic suicide, when you have less money coming in everyone feels the pinch.

The Revolution Is Coming

I know one thing for sure that Spirit always has messages. Last weekend, I was busy at my computer when a sparrow flew onto the outside screen and hung there for about three minutes before flying off.

Bird messages can be extremely important. One sparrows have a lot to do with freedom and revolution. The last time I had a sparrow experience was about two years ago. There were lots of sparrow where I parked my car. I was going to an interview, I hesitated on getting out. There were over twenty sparrows that were flying towards my windshield and at the last minute they would veer off.

This happened about twenty times. I finally decided to get out and go into my interview. The experience with the birds was like something out of a Hitchcock movie. It was shortly after that experience that a few other Nations started to rebel against their Governments and claim their freedom.

Now I know some of you are thinking, well obviously the bird saw its reflection. Not likely, my windows on the outside are just not that clean. Especially on the second floor.

We are starting to see some positive changes with the economy. The more Government starts to push people to their limits the more people will start to push back. A lot of people have lost everything, their jobs, homes and once that line in the sand is crossed there is no going back. That line is so different for each person.

With banks acting like spoiled entitled children and playing Dictator. There is no limit to the stress that people are living with today. The middle class is virtually wiped out and almost a memory. Governments taxing people whose homes have lost value that are already hanging on by a string. It really is beginning to look like that movie. "It's A Wonderful Life" only before the Savings and Loan Banks existed.

All the corruption is boiling to the surface and Governments, Businesses and Dictators are now seeing the inside of a court room and finding out that Justice is for all. Those that have felt entitled for so long are finding out that they can't buy their way out of their actions. Things that have been swept under the rug are now to big to fit. All of the secrets are now spilling out into the light.

The numbers are now stepping forward to be heard. After all Goddess Athena is all about Justice.
She will have Justice! Just like you can run from Death but not hide. So it is true with Justice.
