America is Inside Out

We have become lazy.  Covid caused most of it sheltering at home with no school.  Working from home.  Remote learning.  The traditional regimen of American work was neutered.  Covid has all of the effects of a terrorist attack, but it was covert.  On the down low.  If someone wanted to bring America to her knees, then Covid did it.  It has effected politics and the population.  To me the sacrilege is forsaking the American Dream.  Once in America I believe it was possible to make your way.  The royal families who control the world were not so concerned with keeping us down.  If money is to be made, it has to flow.  Contrary to the trickle down theory, I am beginning to understand it is just the opposite.  Money flows upward.  If the lower and middle classes have jobs, are earning, and are spending, it energizes the entire economy.  It is not like today where a handful of oligarchs have all of the money, and this money sits molding away in banks in Switzerland and Grand Cayman.  The only way America is getting any money is through Joe Biden, and it is a mistake.  Thirty trillion in debt, and money is flowing into local governments for infrastructure.  Like everything else forty percent of it will be lost.  It will be embezzled, diverted, or spent.  Local politicians are not honest anymore, and they scoop right out of the pie.  For America to work again with our chosen economic system, the rich must be dethroned.  Trusts or banks cannot control America.  America has to be driven from and by the people.  Small business.  When did the landscape of America become, "Do or die?"  Why does a pop star have to make millions?  We could return to our small town roots, divide up the money, and reinvigorate local economies.  It means a change of priorities.  It means reevaluating the value of goods and services.  I won't pay $250.00 a month for cable TV.  It isn't worth it.  It is far from being worth that.  We are paying too much for everything, and no one seems to notice.  I tried to buy tickets for the Nutcracker ballet today, and you had to have a mobile device to display the ticket at the event.  There are no paper tickets.  No E-Mail.  No PDF to print at home.  I gave up.  I want a paper ticket, because I don't have a cell phone.  It is not a priority for me.  Our priorities were adjusted by Covid, and it was not for the better.  It was for the oligarchs.  Amazon.  Delivered food.  Uber.  We need to return to the roots.  In addition the basic issues government has to remember how to govern.  We have lost our system.  Truly they are lost.  The people don't elect officials.  They are put into place by Super PAC's.  (Political Action Committee)  Think Tanks.  Lobby Group.  All of these are paid for and sanctioned by corporate interests, and they feign worth and value in the political system.  They instead have corrupted Washington.  Campaign Finance Reform could stop dark money from running these campaigns.  Real candidates could run again for the right reasons.  It would not just take money to get elected.  It should take brains and charisma.  Immigration Reform.  All of this talk about building a wall which only is symbolic and will do absolutely no good.  They will tunnel under it.  Stop the flow of drugs, but they probably are funding most everything in America, since we no longer have many goods or services.  Globalization ruined America.  The people attacking America are outsiders.  They are taking us down from the inside out.
