We were warned for decades about not buying American made products, but because other countries can produce goods for less money, we have been just ignoring those cautions.
For instance, last year my flag started showing signs of wear, so I bought a new one at a local store where I know that they're made in the USA. About 6 months later, my neighbor bought one at Menards that was certainly made in China. Mine still looks like new, but hers was literally in tatters already.
Once we become completely dependent on buying everything from other countries, I believe that the gluttony will end. And not in a good way.
Michael, our industrial base has been deliberately whittled down since the 70s. Our industrial base is effectively gone. As a matter of fact, in many instances the entire factory was taken down bolt by bolt and shipped off to China, Mexico, India, etc., while the generations were asleep at the wheel. IMHO, it’s too far gone.
The auto pay for student loans went inactive and they didn’t notify us. It looked like it would work when I checked early October but alas, I was late because auto pay didn’t actually work. That’s part of the reason for the 40%. TG it’s not hitting the credit score for a year because I’m never late on bills!
I worked for two years at Methodist Hospital in Gary, IN. on Grant St. Gary USED to be one of the biggest steel manufacturing companies in the world. Now I would say maybe a quarter of the homes are abandoned, burned out, etc. There was a mass shooting in the hospital driveway when I was there (drugs) and one in the McDonalds across the street. The Gary Police have a table with a chain across it so only they can sit there.
Thanks, leftists and elite! Enjoy your money now, before you end up where Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Brzinski, ad nauseam are now. And just a hint to you vile misanthropes: You are going to be dead a WHOOOOOLE lot longer than you are alive, and even if history remembers you, it will be with disgust... or, as with Ceasar, people will say "isn't that a pizza company?"
The Capitol Police are reportedly now investigating the explicit incident, which occurred in the same room where Supreme Court justice nominees are grilled by senators
Yeah, this will go the way of Hunter's coke in the WH, where they looked for three minutes, then said "Whoops, don't know who did it, case closed."
I am completely fascinated how gluttony transitioned to Japan buying the remnant of US Steel when, in fact, US Steel started taking a nosedive in mid 70s to 80s and 150,000 workers companywide lost their jobs, steel contracts THEN went up in Japan as ours declined precipitously. I lived in Chicago at the time US Steel’s South Works bit the dust. History will tell you it was more of a function of OPEC and the Iranian Revolution but it’s really more of a function of deliberate strategy. Most don’t want to believe their country’s been under dismantling for 50 years but it has been. Lack of diligence and vigilance. A country that produces nothing is worthless. From every perspective. We have become vain and unprofitable.
Again, regarding gluttony. Does that transfer to prepping as well? If someone has acquired food and supplies for, let’s say, five years is that person an over-consuming glutton? Or would you say that person is prudent?
I come from a refining background, where steel and its alloys are critical players.
I remember well the closing of the majority of 'Murican steel making facilities, which forced the bulk of steel products to be manufactured elsewhere, notably, the CCP (using the crunched autos we send them for the steel) This upset many of us who realized a country cannot be a manufacturing icon without their own steel making facilities, particularly in a time of war.
We could not compete due primarily to escalating fuel costs, which was expensive when imported from the Persians. Yet, when fracking freed-up billions of cubic feet of natural gas here in the US, perfect fuel for a foundry. We were scrambling for the means to export all that gas then, using it and our natural resources to spark up the steel making industry would have been the perfect plan. Where was the MAGA cry to re-vitalize our manufacturing base? Particularly, since the crimigration issue was still a leftover from the o,blome cartel's invitation to countless invaders, and many of them were looking for a real job. Like manufacturing.

Thank you for the explanation.

WOW, that is very sad. Someone needs to make a movie or documentary about this situation.

Will hyperinflation basically "erase" all of those debts ?
Great topic and article.

Anyway, seems like opportunities lost....
Onward, Christian soldiers!
