Minneapolis MN based Best Buy to cut holiday hires in half - Who to blame? - Minneapolis Independent

As is this author’s normal routine a couple days per week, breakfast was enjoyed at the local Monticello MN McDonalds http://bit.ly/qvtHOm . (Their dollar Sweet Tea and dollar sausage burrito being the enticement)

And, in the complimentary issue of the Minneapolis Star and Sickle http://bit.ly/nz73BG appeared this article:

Best Buy to cut holiday hires in half http://bit.ly/o9REgO

“With the weak economy making it tough to predict holiday sales, the Richfield (MN, USA) -based electronics giant plans to call in 15,000 temporary workers, down from 29,000 last year.”

With its large market share, Best Buy, Inc.’s decisions portend the future the US retail economy. http://bit.ly/pSx86v

With the 30 days Winter Holiday Season representing 20% of the American economy, this economic indicator does not bode well for the American economy.

It occurred to this author that the Conservatives spin on would be as the fault of President Obama.

But who is really to blame for the current state of the US Economy?

Perhaps one of these two explanations will allow the reader to determine for themselves upon whom the true blame should be cast.

1) THE USA AS A CORPORATION WITH YOU AS THE SOLE OWNER

The first, and perhaps easiest to understand perspective, is to think of the USA as a company with you personally as the sole owner.

As owner, you have hired a management team to produce superior results.

After years of good results, the current management team has been reporting dismal results, similar to the results the USA Politicians are responsible for.

In the little more than the 20 years since your biggest competitor collapsed (the former USSR) giving you overwhelming market share, your management team has brought your company… your source of money, power, basic needs, superior luxuries and indulgent desires… to the brink of collapse.

How long will you listen to their explanations and finger pointing? Especially knowing that your reputation, power, personal freedom, standard of living and way of life hang in the balance? [Article Continues below almost universal translator]

Since most Americans are employees and/or sports teams fans, the author presumes you have witnessed how Corporations deal with poor performance. Heads rolls, presidents get terminated, Coaches get fired and employees get laid off.

And, as the sole owner of the USA, you would just as ruthlessly dispatch your current management team. The management team whose poor results you cannot tolerate for the reasons we have already listed, and some more personal reasons we have not.

Some of those additional reasons being emotionally based. You don’t want to tell your daughter you cannot afford give her piano lessons any longer. You don’t want to tell your spouse, that you have to move in to a smaller house in a less desirable neighborhood. You don’t want to tell your son that he can’t play football because you can’t afford the fees. You don’t want your neighbors to see that you have lost in the rat race of life.

And so it is, for the sake of those you love, for the sake of those you call friend and for the sake of your own pride, you rationally terminate the employment of your management team that has put all you have at risk of loss?

So why is it you continue to vote for incumbents? Out of some sense of loyalty, just because they are of the same political party as you? Because they tell you they share your same positions on issues and outlooks on life? Because your political party tells you they are better than the alternative?

Is that not just foolish? Is there not so very much more on the line in the preservation of our country? Freedom, Liberty, the American way of life and American exceptionalism?

Will your really risk your spouses and your children liberty of living and way of life; your wealth and your freedom out of loyalty to incumbent politicians who have proven by their actions that either are incapable, unwilling or unable to maintain our standard of liberty, our standard of living and the American Exceptionalism provided to WE THE PEOPLE by all of those generations of Americans who came before us?

Fire the Incumbents regardless of political party http://GOOOH.com http://GOOOH.com

Isn’t that what business owners have been doing for years with their management teams to achieve their current status?

If business owners do that just for profit, should not WE THE PEOPLE http://bit.ly/np9lGS not fire all the Incumbents for the principled reason of maintaining our liberty, standard of living and way of life for ourselves, our spouses, our children, our friends, our neighbors and our fellow country persons?

To wit, this author pleads, “Just say ‘NO’” to incumbents.

2) THERE IS ONLY ONE AMERICAN RULING CLASS

The author offers as a second perspective is the theory that the entire representation that there are two separate political parties is a duplicitous lie.

To test this theory, after reading this article, this author requests you exercise critical thinking in considering the explanations for the current state of the country offered by the two major political parties.

And, in so doing, ask yourself, “Does what is occurring in America make more sense in a reality where there are 2 major political parties or does it make more sense in a reality where there is one (1) Ruling Class elite pretending to be two (2) major political parties?”

This author’s again asserts there is only one Ruling Class pretending to be the 2 major political parties.

On occasion of political unrest, the Ruling Class merely changes the head (donkey or elephant) which appears to be in charge. This is done to give the appearance of political revolution to avoid actual violent revolution. Meanwhile, behind the scenes the same people continue making the decisions on behalf of the Plutocratic Ruling Class Elite http://bit.ly/oB2wFI .

Further, the Ruling Class uses this two major party ruse to divide and conquer WE THE PEOPLE. Issues are “emotionalized” so that voter’s vote with their hearts and selfish and primal instincts. [ How to brainwash a Nation! http://bit.ly/ogVy6z Edward Bernays and the Art of Public Manipulation (Propaganda) http://bit.ly/qBDHLx ]

WE THE PEOPLE are no longer are represented by our elected officials (formerly known as Public Servants http://bit.ly/pTAQ3y) but instead are being managed like cattle or trained seals.

This management of WE THE PEOPLE is done by controlling what information WE THE PEOPLE receive. Betrayed by our major media and the Ruling class, WE THE PEOPLE have only the Ruling Class’s contrived and proffered explanations for the daily events WE THE PEOPLE encounter.

That is until the advent of the Internet… the very internet which currently allows the free flow of information. http://bit.ly/qjHFcw

Abortion, race, gay marriage, homosexuals in the military, Celebrity Scandals, and the promises of jobs are in the headlines in the major media, while corruption, kickbacks and conflicts of interest are often not disclosed, lost in the “middle pages”, or timed to be released when other more titillating news will “bump” it from extensive coverage? How many times have you heard or seen Politicians time the release of bad “news” to their advantage relative to the “news cycle” or that a war was declared or escalated somewhere to divert our attention from other news?

At the same time, the Incumbent Ruling Class uses these diversionary issues to divide and conquer WE THE PEOPLE, to whip us into a frenzy one half of WE THE PEOPLE at the throats the other half. In the meanwhile the Incumbent Class Robs WE THE PEOPLE blind with their backroom deals.

And now comes the betrayal of WE THE PEOPLE with the destruction of our jobs and the American economy. The incumbent ruling class destroyed our jobs. NAFTA made it easier to ship our jobs out of the country. Easier outsourcing rules allowed our jobs to be more easily shipped out of the country. Trade with China without requiring American standard working conditions for their workers exported almost all of our manufacturing base. And the failure to control the border and immigration is yet another loss of jobs for Americans.

Both the Democrats and Republics voted for and allow these policies. How are any of those policies enhancing the lives of the Rank and File constituents of either political party. They are not; they are only enhancing the lives of the Ruling Class and their supporters.

And now the same Incumbent Ruling Class that cost you your jobs, infringed on your Bill of Rights and Reduced the American Standard of Living wants you to reelect them?

AND BOTH THE DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN HALF OF THE RULING CLASS THINK YOU ARE GULLIBLE ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR THEM IF THEY PROMISE YOU JOBS TO REPLACE THE JOBS THEY VOTED TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOU.

WE THE PEOPLE must stop voting for the Incumbent Ruling Class.

They do not respect the common person. They do not represent WE THE PEOPLE; Rank and file Americans. The Incumbent Ruling Class manages and manipulates us like cattle and/or trained seals. And they work to divide us rather than unify WE THE PEOPLE.

“Just say No” to incumbent politicians. Get Out of Our House http://GOOOH.com
