and adapt to the new stupid being imposed on it, there are some things going on that I see, that are just ugly.

Companies who sell industrial equipment are being squeezed. Manufacturers know they have them over a barrel, so they are wringing every discount they can out of everything, and distributorships are selling at such low profit margins that eventually industrial showrooms will be a thing of the past, and million dollar machines will be sold out of car trunks like plastic garbage bags. And those manufacturers will have to work harder and harder to eke out a profit.

What this means for you and I is that the products we buy- from cars to asswipe- will get worse and worse, the quality disappearing to shave off a little profit. Quality products will come from Japan, Germany, and, believe it or not, China. “Made in America” will make people giggle and walk on by like they once did when you saw “Made in Japan”. (For those of us old enough to remember crappy made in Japan products). The decreasing number of high quality goods made in America will disappear one by one as the fedgov regulates and taxes them out of existence. This is not a prediction of the state of things to come, but an observation of the current situation.

I cannot imagine anything I want to see less than bloody revolution. I know people who live, or have lived, in a more or less permanent state of warfare, and I do not want that here. We have a little bit of time left to start turning this ship around, and only by constant and ongoing individual political activism do we have even the slightest chance. The barbarians are not at the gate, they are in the house next door, in the adjoining bedroom, in bed next to you. Do something about this while you still can without firing a shot, you haven’t got much time left.
