Reality and feminism collide.

While focus is stuck on a couple of issues of late there are issues that are being completely missed or glossed over.  Sure, Obamacare is a huge problem.  Economically for all, politically for some, and personally for millions of others and just at this point.  It could be seen as the masterpiece of this regime, though I think that would be taking the short view.  The true masterpiece is the gutting of the American economy and the attempt at wresting control from the usual gang of thieves and putting it the hands of a different smaller gang of thieves.  It isn't working well.  It never does.  Unless you are in the gang.

The headlines spew lies like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar.  The claim is that there is a 7.x% unemployment rate.  What is ignored are the numbers of people who have been functionally unemployed for a long term, many of whom have stopped seeking work.  The number of unemployed people in the general population hasn't been this low in decades, or more.  The other group that is being ignored are the part time employees who seek full time employment.  Obamacare does impact these numbers.  The law supports part time and temporary work.  It also keeps employees off balance.  No one wants to hire even one other person because they don't know how much that person will end up costing them after the smoke has cleared.  Or, honestly, they do know and cannot afford to hire.  But Obamacare is not the real problem, it is just part of a systemic attack on the American economy by it's own government.

Oh, by the way, extended unemployment benefits are up for review soon.  And the sequester cut, what, the payments by 60% or so?  Yeah...

One can theorize as to the reasons for the attack.  I have heard it considered that this is to make all workers, around the world, live at a standard of living and average wage, which would allow companies to migrate without issue.  This admin wouldn't do this for companies, but perhaps with a belief that America owes the rest of the world an equal opportunity.  Others believe that it is a direct assault on America's dominance in so many fields, or that by reducing wealth held in America and damaging the medical field, that shorter lives can be developed, hoping that if Americans are seen to die younger the rest of the world would follow.  Many elites believe there are simply too many people.  Some thoughts seem downright crazy, until you look at the numbers and actions.  Our government is being used against us, that, regardless of theory, is obvious to me.

Ah, but feminism?  An outdated tool of Stalin, to be honest, but quite functional for the moment.  It still has it's uses in keeping women free from husbands and children, in work instead of family, out of the church, and independent.  While it is still useful it is no longer being supported.  The economy has collapsed to the point where there is no support for it, save in law.  Here is a story about a 50-something woman, single, educated, worked since she was 15 (she says), now with nothing.  Living as a guest, for a few weeks at a time, moving around, trying to find work, and having lost everything to this point.

Did feminists ever think it would ever end differently?  Did they believe Lenin, Stalin, or even Putin, was on their side.  Did they believe their forced allowance into capitalism would do anything but destroy their futures?  It was bad enough seeing 30-something single women begin almost begging for husbands, having spoiled themselves on lovers (who would not accept them for more, as if they wanted it), now begging for... anyone.  But to see the 50-somethings, with nothing, and no one?  It is sad.  But it had to end this way.

I still have some hope for America, depending on what she decides to do with Obamacare, and the rest of this enemy president's actions.  But there will be costs.  There will be wounds.  Some things are lost.  The real question is will America go to Detroit levels, or will, like Omaha and a few others, decide to pull out and thrive?  That I don't know.  Either way, it will take some hard work to make the ship seaworthy again.  Either that or we turn into a third-world ruin.  It is a choice, even now... perhaps.
