I’ve Had Enough!
15 Jan
The paradox created by mainstream media is that the sky is falling while I look around and see consumerism still very alive and well.
So I’m dedicating this blog to bringing the GOOD that our economy is generating. I can keep it positive since I do not have the pressure to “sell” readers, since it appears that all that “sells” is doom and gloom.
I hope you are able to see that intertwined with the down-side of our economy is a robust economy base on consumption of goods and services. If we constantly pay homage to the downside, we will create a self-fulfilling prophesy where we cut consumption based on news reports. These cuts result in layoffs, leading to more bad news, less consumption, and more layoffs. You see the vicious cycle.
Start with this report from October from CBS

You can read that our economic condition is ripe with consumer activity, and a positive outlook for the fall. While many media reported lower December sales, they didn’t report that Thanksgiving was a week earlier than in recent years, meaning November’s sales were up. You see, these little things get over-looked so that the doom and gloomers can feed you information that they feel “sells.” More to follow.
This is a super site, Mitch! Your layout is great. The graphics are simple and effective. And it’s laced with all kinds of routing, which it should be. I love it!
