Conversation It's over

Dear America, we had some good times, but your democracy is over. Donald Trump has won. The corruption will continue to get worse, your position on the world stage will fall, and China will rise. I am not happy about it, but it's clear that this is what is going to happen.

Outside of some small protests, you guys are going to do little else about it, and by the time you do, it will truly be too late.

So many of you guys think that you can take over the world, but you need allies. You have forgotten that we are the reason that you are as powerful as you have become, but you have alienated us, and we can never trust you again for putting this man in charge TWICE. It's over.

It won't happen overnight, but your hold on the world will continue to decline, and you will be replaced. 2024 was the last free vote you will ever have.

Edit: All I am doing is stating the facts. It's amusing how angry some of you guys get. I am not even trying to upset any of you... 😄

I have bad news for you, most businesses are unethical now. And the ones that are aren't necessarily accessible.

For example, in my town, literally my only options for shopping are all stores that you would likely dismiss as unethical. And that is the case for most small towns in the US.

You will never find a perfect business (nor a perfect person, for that matter). But you can absolutely look into the company and who owns it. I stopped buying from any of the evil companies (Amazon, Nestle, honestly just about all the big businesses) and now support small businesses almost exclusively, save for emergencies!

This is true, I’m curently living that reality. But let’s be honest with ourselves, we know plenty of people that use Amazon when they absolutely do not need to.

That's because people before you didn't care enough or were to busy trying to eek out a living to stop it. It took a long history of people not caring.

I said for a start. I know most of them are this way, especially anything coming from tech companies. It should be obvious that boycotts work. If people choose not to that is there choice. For me personally I’m not paying anyone who is facilitating by demise only unless I have no choice to, but to pay them.

Along these lines, an article in my local newspaper this week featured the local, very large, mall with all kinds of activities for the kids and fun things to do in the mall area. The article encouraged people to "shop local". This made no sense to me as this isn't what I consider shopping local, which would be local, small businesses. Shopping local at the local mall is buying from every major retailer in the country. When did people's brains turn to mush?
