Thread: Wow, scrap steel prices are up!!!

Tweet

First I’m at the end of my journey so to speak, so this dose not apply to me, I’ve done my time.

Question to anyone that has an answer.

What are the people that’s in their late 30’s early 40’s going to do when they have lost their job, house, car, and some their spouse, because of the financial lost?

A lot of those people had an education and had jobs other then being factory workers. Unless I’m mistaking it was the people working in plants, and factory’s that made this Country great correct me if I’m wrong. China is growing by leaps and bounds by people making products even the $1.00 items they are taking over the work force. At one time we had the most productive workers in the World but not anymore. If you have a secure safe job, you will be fine but how can thousands of people start a business or fit in again.

It’s easy to say roll your sleeve’s up but roll them up to what? I’m sure there are a lot of people that would like to know.

Just as you addressed attacks on your design patent, citizens who feel/recognize media bias will seek alternatives. We live in a wondrous time where those who are willing to put forth the effort can learn anything via the internet. Surely, we need to learn how to sort the wheat from the chaffe as there's an abundance of both, but it's there for the absorbing. Two things loom on the horizon that endanger this open market of ideas, both are proposed federal legislation that are couched with titles that are so very Orwellian; The Fairness Doctrine, and Net Neutrality. While both purport to inject balance (the definition of which is the rub), on close scrutiny both block access and would foster a monopoly of opinion.

Well, this is my last post on this tread.
Bob- I do believe there is more opportunity today than ever before. We just have to break the old mold.

I want to thank every one who has posted on this thread. No attacks, just information and questions.
This is why I keep coming back and sharing my thoughts.
Thank you all of you for a great place to hang out.

Richard, your post was about the most clear writing I have ever seen regarding the current state of affairs. You nailed it exactly. I have always said that what built this country and pulled our butts out of two world wars was our ability to make stuff. We no longer "make stuff" in this country, we buy it from other countries who now have those factories and people.

Living in Florida is a perfect example of this. Florida is built on the service industry, we don't make anything that amounts to much here, very little manufacturing. We take care of people when they come to see Mickey Mouse or go to the beach. I always worked for manufacturers up North and when I lost my job in Florida (I was working for a Northern company, but living here) I couldn't find a comparable job to save me. I was being offered jobs at $ 10 an hour, and if I didn't take it the 6 guys interviewing with me would have.

The solution may not be simple but it is very obvious.........put people to work here and they will have money to put back into circulation, which will in turn create other jobs. Anyone who doesn't see that things are terrible right now must have blinders on, or be so well-healed that it doesn't affect them.

Just to set the record straight,no gloom and doom here......I am just staying informed on what the enemy is doing..
I am with the people who believe we were NOT put on this earth to toil in the dirt and sun all day like slaves ,I am almost positive this is not mankinds purpose on this planet.

Just on a side note ,the "organizers" are quite happy with the state of things at this current time.The slaves make food and goods for themselves and keep The "organizers" pockets lined with money...things could not get much better from thier view.As a added bonus there is now enuff slaves that many can get sickly and quit ..etc..and there is still plenty of slaves available to toil in the sun for the "organizers".
Where it was once illegal for the "organizers" to have a factory full of non american workers,now with the global markett ,they just move the factory there instead,because the american slave has demanded too much from the "organizers"......

Take this tale into consideration.........
Think of it as a giant snipe hunt......shure the new guy is excited to maybe get a chance at a snipe....... .Meanwhile he is very unaware that the rest of us are sitting there watching and laughing.Well the "organizers" have sent the american people on a giant snipe hunt for the last 100 years and have been sitting there laughing at us all,meanwhile we think our cause is just or our mission is correct ...when the reality is we are operating from flawed info and have been chasing our tails ,while the "organizers" have drained the people and the country dry.

Just to strike the point home,you are aware that we only get 25 percent of the money we make......??????Almost 40 percent right off the top in a illegal taxation of wages ,then you pay sales tax ,etc tax,etc tax ,etc tax.Which leaves you with a 25 percent ratio of actuall money to spend,soo I guess we are only 75 percent slaves ,not full blown slaves yet. My bad......
