Perhaps I should create a new name the NOT So Pissed Of Democrat. Perhaps it is time to leave.
I am frustrated, and tired, and it seems the only people I am Pissed off at are the common American voter.
I understand the Politicians, they are self centered Millionaires who like to hear them selves talk. they are narcissistic to the ultimate degree, and care about no one but themselves.
I get the media, it is a ratings game. Don't make the numbers you don't get the sponsors, no sponsors your off the air, or out of print.
I even understand K Street, hell I worked side by side implementing what they had won in contracts, so it is about the money. Get the contract get billions, spend a million or get a billion.
So why pissed off at the Voters? Because it seems they don't get the dynamics in Washington, or their own political arena.
It is about those contracts all of it, the media the politico, the consultants, K street, all driven by the biggest customer out there, the US Government.
So why doesn't everyone understand this? Why do they buy into the "Issues"?
It is not about abortion, they do not care about abortion, it is about making insurance companies PAY for abortions, and assume the risk and liability for an abortion gone wrong.
It is not about Health Care or Socialism, it is about insurance companies and the billions they make now off Heath Care and how they do not want to give that up.
It is not about Equal Rights for Gays (GLBT) it is about Family Insurance benefits, Not 2 single policies.
It is not about Unions, it is about the CEO's o the Largest Corps convincing Republicans that labor would be cheaper without them. And they will make it cheaper, by recreating slave labor in the US. Last I worked, the burdoned rates were 11 in India, 15 UK, 14 Canada, 14 EMEA, and 20 US.
Thanks to the NAFTA agreement, building SR kits in Latin America means we can build them at lesser costs. The prices of our SR are measured by the awarded wages paid to our employees. The rates of income are very different to those in Europe and North America. In fact even the lifestyle is cheaper in Latin America than in the Western World. For this reason alone the cost of building replicas in Latin America is very low compared to the high salaries and costs of the average Western World employees The average salary of a Latin American carbonfibre mixed with kevlar worker is US$7.00 a day compared to the hourly rate of an American carbonfibre mixed with Kevlar worker of US$20.00 an hour. The average American only works 8 hours a day making an expense of US$140.00 a day. The average Latin American works 10 to 12 hours a day at the expense of US$7.00 a day. This is why SR World faces greater challengers from our competitors.
So Now since it is all about the money, Why don't the American People Strike?
It is beyond me why no one wants to stop the flow of money for a week or two to make them realize WHO elected them and WHY. It was NOT their corporate sponsors who elected them WE did.
Everyone walk out all at once for 2 weeks see what happens.
but that won'[t happen, a strike has never been supported here, so instead perhaps it is time to leave. I don't come often anymore, so fade to black..............
