The Blue Pill.

[BIAD]

Here's another fine example of the differences between the average working person in America and the controlling elite.

I can only guess at the amount of stocks and shares a shelf-stacker or checkout employee has at Walgreens or Home
Depot, but I'd think it would be fair to say the Dow-Jones ratings aren't usually on their mind as they make their way to work
in the early hours.

Five billion dollars for a border wall might seem a  lot of money to the a Data Entry Operator or a Texan farm labourer, but
up there in the world of Wall Street, the word 'billions' has become standard parlance.

So what is important to you...? It's obvious to most that the stock market can and does have an effect on whether you clock
-in to work on Monday. But would it be better to go back to a country-wide perception that food-banks and vouchers are the
staple diet of the working-class? Or do you think getting up off your knees and putting a shift in is a better way to go?

Does national pride belong in the past and we should just all embrace global unity...? The media seem reluctant to show how
the USA has improved over the last year and yet, with the latest Government shutdown, they're screaming to the same average
working person that global markets are at risk.
And of course, it's all Trump's fault.

US government hits partial shutdown after $5bn spending deal fails
The deal was over funding for President Donald Trump's wall on the Mexico border, which is staunchly opposed by Democrats.

'The US government has entered a partial shutdown after Republicans in the Senate failed to secure the votes needed to approve
$5bn demanded by Donald Trump for a border wall.

Vice-President Mike Pence and White House officials were on Capitol Hill late on Friday night trying to broker a compromise over
funding for the wall on the Mexico border, which is staunchly opposed by Democrats.
Without a deal, funding for around 25% of the government expired at midnight (5am GMT).

Nine cabinet-level departments and dozens of agencies, including homeland security, transportation, interior, agriculture, state
and justice, will be affected by the shutdown...'

SOURCE:

(That chilling 'expired at midnight' word-smithery...! How long are they going to use that one?
Anybody can use it!)

But what about Valerie who drives the school bus or the truckers out on the highways tonight...? If she doesn't turn up on
Monday, the children won't get to their brain-washing lessons and the vital transportation system that keeps the whole of
the US stocked with what they really need...?
Will those guys just be laid-up in a truck-stop somewhere wondering if they'll get paid this month?

A US Government shutdown means thousands of employees from certain departments will be furloughed, sent home without pay.
Most of the mainstream media will tell you that. What they omit to mention in the same shock-horror terms of proclaiming what
effects the semi-closure will have on the stock market, is that they're retro-paid later.

During a shutdown of Obama's time in office, the cost of the closure was two billion dollars. So would five billion be such a big
deal for a security decision? A wall needs employment and I'm sure those on the inside-track will invest in the many companies
paid to provide the barrier. The vital departments paid by Washington will stay open and the Smithsonian won't have to dip into
its cash it saved from last year to keep its customers smiling.

No... the real problem isn't building the wall, it's the message it sends to the electorate when it's decided to tear it down.
Granted, the cheap labour is a valuable component to certain aspects of the US economy, it keeps Valerie the bus-driver and
those at Walgreens on low pay and in their place.

Maybe a glance at what President Trump has done over the last year may instil a bit of confidence in the future for these terrified
money-making markets...? Maybe -just maybe, the real people that fuel the engines of economy know what they're doing.






Yeah... It's all Trump's fault.
