3rd WORLD AMERICA? THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

AUGUST 10, 2016

America shows more 3rd world characteristics day-by-day.

On July 15, 2016, I posted comments suggesting that America could lose 1st world status with certain activities that now have become “normal.” Abrogation of The Rule Of Law, the foundation of 1st world nations, is one indicator that 1st world status is being violated.

The exoneration of Clinton in her e-mail scandal is a prime example of abrogation of law. The once vaunted FBI have now been “shamed and tarnished” by Clinton scandals.

Another characteristic of many, if not most, 3rd world nations is profound corruption with huge wealth accumulation by those at top government levels. Another is absolute corruption in control of election processes and of governance by one faction, one “party,” one dictator.

Hillary Clinton epitomizes the wealth accumulation factor and the Democrat National Committee is clearly guilty of election process control, undoubtedly with Clinton the beneficiary and, undoubtedly, complicit in effecting the corrupt process control. The Clinton Foundation is more corruption – apparently a money laundering operation. More on this in next “thought for the day” post.

With all of this, and more later, Clinton is still the most likely to be elected as our next president. What does that say about us, the American electorate? See the last post.

    Don't disagree with anything you have said. However, you don't offer solutions. Democrats put up a corrupt, congenital liar, driven by nothing but ambition, candidate. Republicans offer a caricature , a joke, a buffoon. The priority should now be to mitigate the loss. The presidential race is all but over. Trump is not electable, anyone who thinks otherwise is not facing reality. The goal now is to mitigate the loss. Concentrate on keeping the House and Senate. This is the only way to check the progressive agenda. Trump may have damaged the Republican Party for a generation. Democracy in action.

    Much truth in what you say. If Republicans lose this election they won't win another one for a generation or two. But, the big loser will be the nation. The march to perdition, now 7 decades old, will continue like a metastatic disease, of which Clinton is a part. Now she will be in control. Stopping her is necessary to stop the march. Holding on to the House and Senate does not promise a solution as evidenced by the Obama years. Clinton will be even worse. She will do as she wants. I've told my cohorts for some time that Republicans are stuck on stupid and Democrats on dishonesty and corruption. Anybody want to debate that?

AMERICAN AIRLINES -- MORE ABOUT UNIONS AND CH 11

I apologize for the structure of the post below, with no segmentation, but the system refuses to do it my way. To my post yesterday re AMR's chapter 11 filing relating my experiences over many years flying with AA, an AA pilot wrote a thoughtful comment that caused me to think a bit more about the precursors to conditions of their bankruptcy. Frankly, I have what is perhaps too much experience with trade unions and their excesses, but know less about others such as the airlines. After learning more about the negotiations of AA with their unions, I now think it's justifiable to post the comments below. I've seen too many industries destroyed by union excesses coupled with management incompetence in caving to excess demands. Start with coal (dead for many years), steel, textiles, shoes, electronics manufacturing, and more.  The Detroit 3 (once the big 3) deserves special mention. As their costs rose to $72/hour (fully loaded) and costs in the southern industry w...

LEFTIST MIND-SET OF TODAY -- REFLEXIVE, THOUGHTLESS SUPPORT FOR THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

"Trying to persuade a prejudiced mind is as Sisyphean as trying to open a closed mind is Quixotic." Mann, May 2012 In a blog post herein below on May 1, 2013, I outlined what we who manage people and enterprises know as absolutes about performances of people who are put into management and supervisory positions for which they haven't requisite qualifications. For those who have progressed through several jobs to their level of incompetence, this is known as the Peter Principle as defined by Laurence J. Peter. In all likelihood, all who have managed people for any length of time have seen this principle played out. While Peter's observation applies to progression through multiple job levels, if a person is put into any job for which he is unqualified, the concept is also valid. Elective political positions is where I see this most often played out. The election of Barack Obama as President of the United States is the most significant example of this in my lif...

ETHANOL -- The worst mandate ever gets even worse

When politicians get control of science and the inept or dishonest scientists, nothing good comes of it. There are many examples -- global warming (aka climate change) is the most prominent. The ethanol mandate, although a part of the climate change mania, stands on its own as arguably the most ridiculous mandate of all time. President Jimmy Carter, who was influenced by a misguided college professor, can be charged with the mistake of promulgating the ethanol mandate.  Of course, Al Gore is the politician who played the global warming issue like a drum and has benefited financially from it. Use of ethanol in motor fuel is not a net positive either in costs or in impact on the environment.... enormous hype to the contrary notwithstanding. Ethanol does not have the positive effect on the environment as touted. It has only about 60% of the specific energy of petroleum fuel, which begs use of more fuel to achieve the same energy as petroleum fuel. And, so it does. I have my own exp...
