The Economy

I think it really might be falling apart. The big three car makers, if they fail, that will affect a ton of jobs. We don't have a lot of decent jobs. Oh, sure, the service industry, the minimum wage jobs. The people working those jobs, can't support a family on them. I guess if everyone stopped breeding kids they could survive. Condom sales should be going up as the economy tanks out.

In Oregon, this is what I think we should do. Just a few thoughts.

I think very important businesses are those small farmers, who grow produce sold locally. I think we should do everything we can to encourage those local-selling produce farmers, who produce everything from vegetables to fruit to eggs to edible grain. I think we should help them expand to aqua culture, like that man did who won the genius award, heating his greenhouses with compost, and farming fish beneath the plants, recirculating the fish tanks water to fertilize the vegetable plants. It's brilliant.

As for energy, cut loose those Oregon State Engineering students and direct them into creating small economical personal wind turbines. Every house should have one. Economical sheets of solar panel vinyl should be on every roof. If we invest this way, in our future, it may be bright after all. Every house and apartment building should be very well insulated also.

I'd like to see these local farms, that raise cattle, sell the hides to a local shoe making industry. I know lots of people kill nutria. I bet their hides would make excellent shoe and boot leather. I'd like to see a local clothing manufacturing industry begin, of durable goods. Last time I went shopping for some blouses, I could not believe how flimsy they were made. I asked the clerk, "Where are the well made clothes, clothes made from durable cloth?" She shook her head that she didn't know but that she understood what I was saying.

I'd like to see the local development of personal transportation devices that are exceedingly efficient and economical to buy. Did I mention simple and not complex, so that broken parts or break downs do not require multi million dollar fixes, like the stupid impractical cars of today?

Nobody needs that complexity. Complexity and add ons equal miserably expensive complicated repair bills. We're grown ups and if we want to roll up our windows, we can do that without relying on a computer to electronically roll them up when we press a button.

Cutting down on the crap we buy means there will be fewer jobs out there available. Thus, we must curb our overwhelming desire to breed. Do this, and half or more of all world environmental and economic problems vanish into thin air. Our problems are a direct result of failure to stop copulating. Hahahahhaa.

Hey, it's true. Overpopulation rears its head in the human world. The parallels to the feline overpopulation problem are definitive, if we'd see them. But we think we, as humans, are different, set apart, noble, God's children, so the rules don't apply to us. We're special.
