Election Day 2020

[Ninurta]

It might be twenty years-ago that my family and I took a ride on the Verde-Canyon Railroad in Arizona.
During our perusing of the wonderful scenery from the open carriages, I struck-up a conversation with a
chap who was from -I vaguely recall, Oregon.

Eventually talking politics in general, he stated that as far as he was concerned China had 'owned' the
United States for a very long time and had manipulated its many systems to benefit China.
At that time, I was unaware that they also owned most of America's world debt.

I recall those days. I was supervising security at a chemical plant with some thoroughly dangerous chemicals in attendance there that might have been of interest to your average terrorist. China and Japan were trying to one-up each other, to see who could buy the most of America. The Japanese bought the plant I was working at, so I quit. Then as now, I didn't see the percentages in placing crucial US infrastructure in foreign hands.

As an aside, the security outfit I was working for was bought out by European interests (Danish, as I recall) not long afterward, whereupon I quit it altogether and walked away, as I felt that security in America should be done by Americans too. I have a dim view of setting foxes to guard hen-houses.
