LET'S PUT SPRINGFIELD OHIO ON THE MAP 2~!

Fact is, We've already tried the sterile monopoly-road the Nation-over; we already tried buying into the illusions of two choices of Bestbuy or Walmart, McDonald's or BurgerKing, Kroger or Meijers, Democrat or Republican, MacIntosh or Microsoft, Spectrum or ATT, ad infinitum and nauseaum....My point is, we've tried that already.

And here's where that has brought us today. See https://usdebtclock.org/

Hint, everything in red is deficit.

See, every City has a Home Depot or Walmart in their back pockets these days. Nobody is coming to Springfield for our Best Buy either. So no new money is coming into Springfield.

Now if we produced something, say solar panels or a better battery or offered some other product or unique Service that cannot be obtained anywhere else, then what?

That's right, there's new blood in town and now the police can cut you a break on the road since there's more fish to choose from!

And every City has a Home Depot and/or a Lowes, so nobody is coming to bring Springfield a dollar for the drive when they can just go to the monopoly store in their own backyard.

Enough said.

But what if we took these vacant buildings and created something new, that only Springfield has to offer?

People from all around would have to come to Springfield (hopefully spending at least a dollar or more).

Okay, let's look at the facts.

Statistics show the stark decline in Springfield's income, but let's look at this data a little closer.

Firstly, why?

Why is Springfield Dropping at such a dramatically differerent fall?

Statistics also show that the Springfield population has been diminishing, and yet our pay-rates have also?

With less people there should be an increase in value.

For instance, if you are the only mechanic in town, you can afford to raise your rates $1.00 more than the nobody you're competing with. You are a necessary agent so long as a motor exists. Just to be clear, the illusion that more money is earned within the cities is due to the cost of living factor.

Housing becomes a critical commodity within the cities, as does food, water, etc. If the cities were to pay the same wage rates as the hinterland, nobody could afford to go to work and the pay rate wouldn't cover critical necessities (such as housing, food, fees, fines, insurances, licenses, etc.).

So, when in regard to the following statements concerning earnings, the figures are used with the assumption of the cost of living factor being subtracted from earnings, leaving the residual.

A variable element

When the polity opened our borders in the Nafta / Cafta acts, the nation was intuitively against it. Fugitives from other countries are sure to pack the list to arrive here...sure, controlled media might have been programming a different story into our last unwashed braincell, but for the most part, most of us were apprehensive of the media's lauding of such an event.

When MAJOR industry, conglomerate monopolistic corporations which are now global entities, need more profit, they call on their "lobbyists" to buy the ability to move mountains (so to speak). Bagfuls of consumer money are carted off to become "donations" to the politicians/public relations group. Who can say "no" to a huge bagful of money? The major industry needed more profits and one way to attain more profits is to drive the pay-rates and other perks down. Pay Rates and Perks are expenses, to the capitalists. The public, programmed with media touting Walmart as the big bad entity, were flashed images of an entity that sold products for only a few cents over the cost of their purchases. On face value it all seems perfectly fair, until you follow the ownership tree and ties. Imagine an American Company that leaves America for lower taxes, fees, fines, licenses, etc. That soon after your company relocates, all you need do to sell your "chinese" products back to America is to use the embedded corporation called Walmart (or Sam's or one of the last two other players at the monopoly board).

However, it is possibly a magician's trick....and like a good magician, out comes the hand, it reveals products for cheap.

Intuitively, you should know to look for the other hand, for it is in the other hand that the real magic is taking place.

Working for the Capitalists Life is worth less than Ten Dollars

Trade God's gift of an hour, for this?

Example:

A young man visitor stated to me that he earns only $9 (and some change) per hour as a mental health physician.

Nine dollars for an hour of life. Hmmm...

I thought about that for a second and remembered that I was earning more than that at age 16, and my position was manual and nowhere near the level of this health physician. In fact, I've never even graduated High School and this guy was having to worry about finding enough money for the classes he was required to take.

His field is a specialized field, and in 2017 here in Springfield, his pay rate is just under $10.00, to alter his life for one hour.

Ten dollars doesn't even buy two packs of those "safe" cigarettes.

We won't delve into the possibilities of what this man could have chosen to do otherwise with that one hour of life, until tested we'll never know.

To ensure that the young man fall in line and never doubt the worth of his life, up goes the utility prices or up goes the taxes or up goes the new regulations....trapped.

Again, let's consider which group would command a higher rate of pay, the large group (such as a city) or the town with a small population ? Keep in mind, the illusion is to show much higher rates in the city, but look at the poverty and other take-aways.

Surrounding yourself with the lucky few in a city that have jobs will not ensure that you will always maintain your job (now which group are you in?).

The answer is, the smaller population earns higher than the larger populated area.

More people mean more labor to choose from, but it raises competition in the labor force causing lower pay rates. And although these lower pay rates are higher than in the outlying areas (generally), there are also many variables which actually reduce the general pay rate between the groups.

For instance, If there's only one job opening, and you're the only person in the room applying for the job, you'd have the job and your value would go up (regardless of whether you are in the city or the outlying areas).

However, when the walls are removed as in Nafta, and everybody and their brother is let into a country, fierce competition for jobs ensures a lower pay rate to the lowest "winner" of the room of 50 men and woman trying to apply for the same ONE job.

Hungry people are desperate people.

So that's why I ask, when seeing the Springfield Ohio statistics, WHERE IS THE MONEY!?

Population Decline., another statistic.

How is it possible that our town of Springfield has been dropping in population, as shown on the graph below, but their earnings are also dropping (as opposed to a constant or increased rate)?

De-culturization.

Let's say, for arguments sake, you are in a house and there's 3 other people that live with you in that house. Regardless of where you might be in the pecking order, you adjust to that position you've been relegated to (or beat down till you learn your place, if someone else is king). If you live in that same house for 20 years with the same 3 other people, you all will know every nook and cranny of one another's personalities, the weaknesses and strengths, the quirks and boiling points, etc. You know your place. You know the routine. You have a place to call home. It's a secure feeling to have familiar surroundings day in and day out.

But, what happens when after 20 years of living in that house when all of a sudden the walls are removed against the occupants wishes? The walls are down. Now you're cold. Now you barely get to talk to the other three fellow home dwellers. Now you find you are sharing your bed with 150 other people you don't know. Some of them speak a strange language and have peculiar attitudes, customs, religions, some of them hate you.

If a group wanted another group to allow the first group to hire more forces that would keep the second group in order, all it need do is give a reason to the second group to beg for their oppression. Nafta allowed fugitives, who are the first wave to want to leave their homeland for obvious reasons (the aspired-class would not be the first wave to want to leave their prosperity to come to America), now there's more crime. Are you ready for more police yet?

Divide and conquered.

The nation is almost $20 TRILLION dollars in debt update, in less than a year, it's now almost $22 Trillion, (update June 2, 2020 We are $25 Trillion in debt!) are you starting to see the wrong direction ? (update September 18, 2020 We are $26.7 Trillion in debt!)

Chain of command will ensure the looters get away with the "Greatest heist ever", to quote me.

Back to the topic at hand, NPR News provided us with the following population decline for Springfield. If you get bored, bother to overlay this graph atop the graph further up on this page.

The people are screaming for something exciting (heebeejeebies, I caught myself hoping for a tornado one night....seriously).

MY GREAT IDEA?

Well I'm kind of leaning toward this one: Once every three years we have a "Give the next Generation a Break" Festival.

Well, it's not actually a festival, however it would be a tri-annual reason to celebrate if you happen to have kids.

Springfield Ohio has way too many vacant business shops and buildings.

It's making Springfield appear to be a ghost town in some parts.

But what if we raised 12% Tax increase to the owners of all those vacant buildings that go unrented? That would be incentive to get some of those buildings producing instead of dragging us all down.

No?

Oh, the taxes, right.

Well, there's a way out of that 12% increase for allowing a building to go unrented (making Springfield look like a potential ghetto in the making). Here is how the "Give the next generation a break" festival works:

Those young adults are filled with niche ideas!

One of your Springfield young adults is going to open one of those vacant commercial buildings and may surprise us all!

Families from other townships and cities will come to the new store, for and by the young adults (as an example).

Kids will possibly inspire the parents to get involved too!

Family-based comeback. Community-based Competition.

Those young adults of yours will aspire and create! Those young adults of yours will compete and excel!

What does Springfield have to lose? We're already at the bottom!

Nowadays, just having a home-based business that makes peanuts for wages is overly oppressed by the Codes Departments, and other profit -eering agencies.
