Upon taking office, Obama said that he would radically transform America. He has proceeded to do that, often in stealth ways with a compliant press no longer serving as the fourth estate. A key component to achieving this transformation is destroying the middle class. Much of his policy uses executive orders since Congressional approval could interfere. Recently the Labor Department issued new rules for retirement accounts that vastly reduce advisement opportunities for ordinary people. A 100 Congressional Democrats joined with Republicans to oppose these rules. And some people still wonder where the Trump coalition comes from.
Most people agree that regulating sulfur dioxide emissions is essential. It disassociates in the lungs to form sulfurous acid and burns tissue. But with less sulfur in the air that settles in the soil, we now must add sulfur. So the new industry of sulfur for soil has arisen. This irony hit me along with all that abstract stuff about systems and balance I once studied.
Unless you live in Sacramento, or follow public transportation events, it’s not well known that the renewed (Obama stimulus) Amtrak/Sacramento Valley Station depot did not allow Greyhound to be there and forced them to a distant site. Certainly we can’t have those folk mix with the advanced people who now ride commuter and intercity rail. Key interconnectivity (and tax dollar efficiency) was lost and the “Greens” were absent from the process.
“And that’s the way it is” as Walter Cronkite closed.
