PORT OF LONG BEACH - LOS ANGELES STRIKE : IS UNION RIDICULOUS OR RIGHT ON?
REUTERS ON 2012 PORT OF LOS ANGELES STRIKE link here
LISTENING TO TALK RADIO COVERAGE ON THIS STRIKE and reading about it, there is one thing we haven't heard about that we would like to share!
As we understand it, one of the things that even administrative people working at the port docks, which as we understand it is OWNED BY CHINA, is that the containers SOMETIMES SHOW EVIDENCE OF PEOPLE HAVING LIVED IN or DIED IN THEM, crossing the sea to enter the United States of America illegally. We met one of those highly paid people who told us this, and it concerns us more than immigration from Mexico...

WHITE MONDAY - WILL THIS PULL THE ECONOMY UP?
Just hearing about WHITE MONDAY - TODAY. Millions or billions will be spent on Internet purchases today, and we have to wonder, how many American flags will be flying in the hearts of our readers!
We've lead you to dozens of MADE IN THE USA products since we began this blog and now we encourage you to do your own research as well and ASK QUESTIONS of sales persons, store managers, and shop owners.
We wonder if this day will really be the miracle we need!

"BLACK FRIDAY" SHOPPING : CAN YOU RESIST?
WILL YOU BE ABLE TO RESIST SHOPPING ON "BLACK FRIDAY," the day after Thanksgiving when many people are off work and can actually deal with the competition for parking spaces and the lines and crowds?
We're already hearing consumer reports and advisories on WHAT DEALS CAN BE HAD, in particular on CELL PHONES. (ARE THERE ANY CELL PHONES MADE IN THE USA?)
Basically, we Americans try to get our Christmas Shopping done on this day of all days, and the retailers are ready for us. BUT ALREADY WE ARE HEARING STORIES OF ADDED SECURITY AT MALLS IN CASE VIOLENCE BREAKS OUT!
Is it worth it?
Well, sometimes you're in the mood for a little hustle bustle, and it does feel good to see all those people spending money, stimulating the economy, and all those seasonal retail workers will have work...?
WE ARE ASKING YOU TO CHECK LABELS AND TO BUY AMERICAN!
You can walk into a store and ask a clerk "WHAT DO YOU HAVE THAT IS MADE IN THE UNITED STATES!" We think most of them will not know.
ELECTRONICS... SHOES... so many things seem not to be MADE IN THE USA anymore! PLEASE TRY!

CAN WE DO WITHOUT OUR HOSTESS BAKED SWEETS
BLOOMBERG ON HOSTESS WARNING EMPLOYEES OF LIQUIDATION link here
CAN WE DO WITHOUT OUR HOSTESS CUPCAKES?
More importantly, can't Hostess bring in some creative types to figure out how to compete in the cake and deserts market, the school lunch bag market?
We are not against UNIONS if UNION MEMBERSHIP means LIVING WAGES FOR THE WORKERS. Right now the minimum wage is not a living wage in many cities in the United States. We don't want more employees who work an honest days work to be dependent on the United States Social Services system to pay the rent, have food, health care, and education, the way WALLMART does.
IN HEARING ABOUT HOSTESS WARNING EMPLOYEES THAT THEY WOULD RATHER CLOSE DOWN THAT DEAL WITH STRIKES or UNIONS, becuase there is MORE COMPETITION, we can't help but think that some IMAGINATION is lacking!
When we go shopping we find Hostess two packs of cupcakes for a low of a dollar, but often closer to $2. These are prepackaged and yet getting very close to a just baked bakery price at the local in store grocer.

MONSTER SANDY STORM MAKING HISTORY and CHALLENGING AMERICA
We are posting out of concern for our American Brothers and Sisters on the east coast - the ORIGINAL COLONIES - who are facing an incoming monster storm called Sandy, which will challenge us for days, knowing that many of you may go without electricity - without computer use - without phone use - possibly be unable to cook - possibly go without clean water from the tap. You may be a stranded traveler or tourist. You may not be able to get to work or school.
We know that the winds will create hazards that flooding doesn't, that wind will lower temperatures and in many places the snow will pile up and eventually thaw, creating more flooding, and that it will all get expensive.
Yet, we believe that most of you have the FORTITUDE to make it through, and that MANY OF YOU WILL ACTIVELY BE INVOLVED in helping your neighbors, checking in with people who live alone or who can't get around as well as others, and that this crisis CAN BE AN OPPORTUNITY for your FAMILY TO WORK TOGETHER.
We'll be watching the media for informational reports about how you are all doing. We wish you the best!
