What Are We Leaving Behind For Our Children

When one loses a war, the enemy is merely stronger

When one loses an economic war, the enemy is smarter

The West was not even in a war with China

But it decided to throw down its guns unilaterally

By inviting them and giving them unlimited access to its economy

By teaching its enemy how to defeat it

By firing its own foot soldiers from its factories

While hollowing out its own industrial base

All in the name of providing cheap gewgaws to the masses

Did the masses ever ask for cheap stuff?

And how would it pay for cheap stuff when it does not have a job

Who cares?

Wall Street does

Wall Street is happy

But it wants more

The tiger has tasted human flesh

It can no longer do an honest day of hunting

It only wants more human flesh

But how?

Buy cheap

If Malaysia is expensive go to China

When China gets expensive go to Bangladesh

Do not operate the thumbscrew yourself

Outsource that too

Make the Bengalis squeeze their own people 

Like another famous corporation did 250 years ago

Pay less

Minimum wage my foot

Split the people and bust their unions

Divide et Impera

Unions are all corrupt anyway

Kill regulations

Cut corners with safety

What is more poison in our water

What is more salmonella in our eggs

What is more pesticide in our fruits

Why have regulators

Government does not work anyway

Divert attention and Spread Misinformation

Blame Blacks, they do not do a honest days work anyway (Trump, Cornyn)

Blame Hispanics; they are all rapists anyway (Trump)

Blame women; they are all sluts anyway (Rush)

Blame Jews; Holocaust is not real anyway (Neo Nazis)

Blame gays and queer; they are not people anyway

Blame working women; they should Lean In to being trad wives anyway (pun intended)

Guns do not kill

Plastics do not hurt

Solar is a boondoggle

Buy and Sell Power

Spend millions to buy elections

Stuff the courts with your people

Pit one country and state against another in a bidding war

Buy media outlets and prevent diverse views

When will things change for the better?

Will it ever change?

What are we leaving behind for our Children?
