Well, This would be a town if it had a taxi....
and somewhere to go.
The only taxi to be found in, or around Springfield Ohio, is a cop car.
No but seriously taxi cabs are dubious at the time of this writ.
One of the three taxi "companies" told me that he would ordinarily be working and able to pick me up, but that he had just taken sleeping pills, and did not think driving under the influence to be a good idea.
I hesitantly agreed.
He told me to try another taxi company, we'll refer to it as "Number two" taxi company.
The second taxi company, a.k.a. Number Two, is available five days out of the seven days in the week, between the hours of too late, and forget-about-it.
...phhhttt.....not an option.
Still there remains another taxi (last one!) ...simply doesn't answer the phone ...ever.
Enough said about the public transportation, you're on your own in Springfield Ohio.
I was shocked to see that although I am no longer a business, that some of my visitors are arriving from outside areas.
Drawing outside interests increases the probability that a Springfield Gas station will be visited. It's possible that the outsider will visit a Springfield Restaurant or become intrigued to purchase property here.
Which begs the question:
What if we can put Springfield on the map so that other towns would WANT to come to Springfield!?
Then there'd be a need for a real taxi company ...or a bus even.
So, after first considering changing the job description of our Police to include more community-involvement by having the police also move us Citizens to-and-fro, the idea was scrapped to first SAVE Springfield, and transform it into the model town that the other towns might want to visit and emulate!
";-)
Hold on, my novel idea is about to unravel.
But First, let's get on the same page here...
The data graphs are derived from NPR.ORG
Pick your Line.
Hint: We're the line that is dropping dramatically. That line also signifies our population DECLINE. How does this information make you feel?
When people leave, so does the surplus money.
Progressing further, what about Springfield's Media PROGRAMMING?
Well, the media here is readily-available from a few regurgitated regulated sources, just like everywhere else now.
However, in 2016 NPR touted neat graphs and figures for the Springfield Citizens to aspire to.
You guessed it, that's our pay-rate in Springfield that appears to have free-fall goals in mind.
Maybe "aspire" is not the best term to use here, Springfield's Fate.
More can be read in the following link's article. City Faces a Tough Economic Future (https://www.npr.org/2016/09/19/493920060/springfield-ohio-a-shrinking-city-faces-a-tough-economic-future)
Thanks for the heads-up, Npr!
Moreso, What can be said of Springfield's Justice S Y S T E M?
Observing first-hand Springfield's Justice System (pronounced "just-us" system.), was enough for my having bothered to make a whole entire pseudo-website about the issue.
That being found here
Okay, So what in the world is left in Springfield?
Well, on a positive note, I could tell you about the people. I like the people here. Some of the citizens in this area appear conservative, but for the most part, black, white, hispanic, indian all alike, appear to be open to new ideas and are friendly.
I haven't been held at knife or gunpoint yet, despite an online site posting an incredible rating (statistics?).
Changing the subject, the Christians here certainly appear a bit more zealous than other areas I've lived.
";-)
The people here in general are different, even non-church-going Jimmy who lives a few miles away from me and hasn't any real source of income of his own, stopped by and brought a weed-trimmer. I presumed he might want it fixed or want some money but no, that wasn't it.
He left me holding the working unit with the trailing words, "I remember you were telling me you needed one so there you go">
Who does this?
What actually happened was that upon watching my electric weed eater create more smoke than usual, I immediately contacted everyone in my phone inquiring if anyone had a replacement for sale but nobody had one for sale or trade. Jimmy didn't answer his phone so I left a message. But here it is only a few days after those calls were made and voila~ a'la electric trimmer.
Having come from Florida, even with all the people from all over that usher through the state of Florida, I don't recall Christians, or people in general, hunting me out to do good deeds to.
This isn't stated as a bad thing though,for me obviously.
An example of the Christians here?
Well, firstly, I began to notice more of my visitors (customers or otherwise) commenting on God.
Sheepishly I found myself wanting to stub my cigarette out whenever in their presence (despite the programming my generation received that "9 out of 10 Doctors Approved Cigarettes as Safe", even the children were fed programming via cartoons!).
And speaking of Smoking
The following is presented for educational purposes to maintain some semblance of real history without the over-zealous copyright police feeling inclined to do evil (you'd be surprised what they do without notice or warning). The copyright notice is pasted at the beginning of the video clip that was already IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN anyway.
Meet Fred and Barney.
They're the twisted business partners and the reason I started smoking.
Instead of "goo-goo" and "gah-gah" maybe mom should have warned me about the Predator Capitalists!
>Just yesterday for instance, another visit came from David. He arrived with a couple of boxes of supplies and then rushed out. He'll not be around for 3 or 4 months then whammo, a hit-and-run package drop. I'm not certain if David was ever a previous customer and couldn't tell you how he came about this particular house. David and his wife Janet, they never stay to chit-chat but choose rather to drop and run leaving behind a box of this or a bunch of that. I recently learned that David's Wife Janet actually makes sandwiches by hand, wraps them, and from what I can tell about the other stuff they've brought here, it's David's job to distribute said-goods.
This actually isn't a rarity in Springfield by no means (no kidding), nor is it the first time that David and his wife Janet have participated in this sort of holiday drive-by.
In all, I'd say there's about a good solid half-dozen people that act similarly around here. I've been all over the Nation and beyond and don't recall such religious fervor ... except maybe the mormons in Utah...but that's another story.
Another Saintly type is Old-Man Tim, he plays it off as if he's trying to lighten his load by unloading brand new jackets and tarps and the such.
And if I'm going to be giving any shout-outs, then I'll be needing to give props to Vickie, too. She brought the first apple tree here.
In fact Vickie is why I had such a great Fennel Seed harvest (she brought the Fennel plant, too).
Oops, almost forgot about the most important contributor to Kenny-kind, my mom. It would be too embarrassing to mention all that she does (she's like a machine).
And finally, I really need to acknowledge the Church for having given me the biggest break ever, hence my present means of sustaining some sense of self-worth to the community, that being Computer Repair
If it were not for the fact of a Pastor down in Florida having donated so many computer, monitors, mice, keyboards, hubs, routers, modems, basically everything I needed to go into business, I'd probably never have had acquired enough to purchase all the Solar and Wind power that still exists to this very day.
Granted, most of the stuff was already outdated (the monitors were the big clunky crt's for instance, and the mice and keyboards were predominantly the older ps2-types), however most of my customers were using outdated equipment anyway.
Just prior to the windfall of the hardware donation from the Church, I had discovered something to make Windows OS better. In fact, it was fool-proof and nobody else in the field was doing it. The discovery allowed my Windows customers to do anything and go anywhere, however when they fell victim to malware, trojans, or viruses, all they had to do was press the magic button, and voila~! Petals of ever-lasting life allowed me to tout the words, "Go anywhere, do anything. If something goes wrong, press the magic button and you were never there, it never happened"! End of repair bills!
So shortly after repairing the Pastor's computer from my garage, he called to inquire as to whether or not I'd like to have the stuff that was held in a portion of a Church building that he needed emptied. I replied, "Sure", but in the back of my head I never considered that it would actually become a reality. Then came the moving trucks, they arrived with Christian ready-workers that began unloading the stuff.
I don't think I actually ever formally thanked that Pastor, or his church. Truth be told, my short-term memory was never up to speed to remember such things as names.
Soon afterward I had saved enough money to rent an-overpriced commercial building on S.R. 19 directly across from the Tax office and where the people of the area in New Port Richey, Florida had to come at least once per year. No advertising was necessary (so for you young-budding captitalists out there, heed my words: LOCATION is everything).
Most of the people that come by here nowadays are ex-military or church-goers. One time, a guy filled my freezer from almost-empty to over-capacity (I had to refuse some of the meats that were brought here because there wasn't any space left in the freezer)!
Then, on the other hand, there's a woman from Missouri that sends a computer to be repaired from time to time and calls infrequently to fill me in on "chem trails" and the spraying of the populations...say, you don't suppose Mark picked that food up from the ...? Nah.
Okay back to the Topic-at-hand
Evenso, I feel the citizenry are needing something to happen around here, maybe a new forward-thinking leadership to stop the downward-spiral of Springfield's economy, a.k.a. Springfield's fate.
Should we do nothing and wait till it reaches 50% poverty-stricken, 75%? Where do you draw your line and get mobilized?
It appears that the most creative idea that the present leadership can come up with, is by enjoying the front of illusions with their myopic gains by getting kick-backs from the monopoly box-stores.
Springfield has enough of the monopoly-type businesses, and it appears to basically profit those most whom collect the taxes moreso than the Citizenry.
Those same monopoly stores are in every city, so how will Springfield acquire outside dollars if it can't attract outside interests?
In other words, if I live in Enon, I'm not coming to Springfield to shop at walmart....Enon has their own walmart (i am actually just presuming that right now).
The much-needed new leadership needs to LESSEN the stringent economic and social control over it's masses just long-enough so the cash-poor citizens can rebound financially. The citizens are basically demoralized with a seemingly low sense of optimism, and for good reason.
Behold, My Plug:
It's time to ...
Invest in NEW HOME-GROWN BUSINESSES that are unique and found nowhere else!
I've seen this sort of ingenious polity elsewhere. Places such as Columbia Missouri that has such a vibrant and somewhat nostalgically neo-business environment, that one is taken aback with stores such as, Odd Job Jays, and, All or Nothing, Zombie March, Mr Junk, Flyover, and other distinctive small-business names dot the streets of Columbia. It would appear that the government there has allowed the University and other college kids to go buck-wild in their business ventures.
Another place that comes to mind for its diversity and forward-thinking is that of the Dutch. Their outrageous brave choice in directions saved its economy and brought its crime-rate to LESS THAN 2% !!!
Truth be told, I liked the Netherlands so much that I tried not to come back by filing for their Sophie Number as a step toward citizenship! After being denied and returned to the U.S. in came the greeting with frowning faces of the political forces while they escorted their dogs around my bags chanting, "find it", "find it" (sickos or what?). Our streets are not saturated with foreign-drugs such as heroine, opium, Cocaine by the citizenry, it's by those with enough manpower and fleets of ships and planes and control over Border Customs and who has the finances for such an undertaking? Well, it's that group, the same that any of these officers probably aspire to, that are harming us, in my opinion. Our once-great vibrant marketplace has become a graveyard of a few monopoly stores. Who wants to invest in America now?.
Unique businesses are what draws a family to drive to another town to spend a dollar.
Unique is what will draw money from other towns to want to visit Springfield !
The following video evidence (made by another party) was shown to the public in 2021. Now it is impossible to find and has been removed from apparently the entire Internet. I've said it multiple times within this website, and even prove it in other pages within this website, stating, "The other end of your Internet connection (i.e. Your Internet Provider) is one of your greatest, weakest and most treacherous links in life." (but oh so fun?)
Youtube banned my videos?
Censoring is altering our present, past, and future
Now that Cities are Incorporated, sites that pertain to those cities are under the control of the City-interests.Imagine the ability to control situations in real-time, to make problems or wrongs disappear, to make a lie look like the truth.
