TIme fitting into a global viewpoint

The American worker, taxpayer and consumer is increasingly finding themselves in what they perceive as a no-win situation. Their frustration stems from suddenly realizing what it means to be in a global economy. Understanding that supplying the world with goods and services means lowering not raising your standard of living was not part of the sales contract our politicians sold us about going global! We have sadly learned that corporations can go anywhere to create their products; someone living in St Paul cannot!

Time more complicated than it looks

So here is the scoop folks. And I use the common vernacular folks; to endear your thinking to be more along the line of, “we are all in this together”. Alas, if that were only true, maybe understanding the reality of why our economy is not expected to turn around anytime soon might be easier to swallow. The very nature of a conservatively based capitalistic society is that some of us will always be doing just fine, while the majority need to keep trying a little harder and not give up. Sadly, in a world where it has become common to bail on a mortgage just because it is underwater, that kind of thinking is getting to be old school.

Time thinking out loud

So a friend tells me she recently took a long airplane ride south from Philadelphia. Once she got her shoes off to get on the plane they proceeded to tell her to take her socks off as well. Then, after a brief pass though behind the you look good naked scanner, she was again pulled out of line and asked about her water bottle. A frozen water bottle by the way, which is permitted.  I didn’t know that. Well, what if some of it melts while standing in line?
