So, the Dictatorship of Donald I begins


The strange thing about the election of Donald John Trump is the one thing his supporters did not believe is when he told how crazy anyone was that would vote for him when he said “I could shoot someone on 5th Ave and they would still vote for me”.  I still think he never wanted to be President during his campaign for the Republican nomination he first attacked Mexicans as criminals, then the Vets when he insulted John McCain, and a Muslim soldier both war heroes, and said he wanted a purple heart without earning it. Then he said he would ban all Muslim from entering the country and start a Muslim registry. He called blacks in the country’s cities as criminals living in poor conditions.

Now you would think after insulting all those people he wouldn’t have a chance to get elected, but many saw him as a strong leader so they gave him the Republican nomination.  He ran against Hillary Clinton who the Republicans had piled up a lot of lies about her, that most conservatives believed. So, thanks to the Electoral College Trump was elected President even if three million more Americans voted for Hillary.

Even before he took office Trump showed how bad a President he would be by appointing the worst cabinet in American History. Trump appointed people that hated the departments they were to head. He appointed Steve Bannon as his chief White House advisor a man who ran a White supremacist web site and was once a neo-Nazi. Trump appointed Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary who doesn’t have a degree in education and hates Public Schools in favor of private schools that take the smarter students and rejects those with learning disabilities unlike the public school that must take all students. Trump appointed Jeff Sessions Attorney General who has a very poor record on Civil Rights. Trump Appointed Rick Perry who didn’t even know what the Energy Department was all about. It was much the same with his other Appointments.

Robots not Undocumented taken jobs


I remember when I was just entering the work force around 1958 there were hundreds of thousands of workers in factory when they closed or moved. Then around the time I retired 2002 there were about twenty to thirty thousand, but recently they are only talking about a thousand or less. So the job lost is NOT because of cheap labor either overseas or undocumented aliens, but by Robots.

The biggest part of the problem of getting people to work at jobs they and families can live on, is Robots have taken 90% of those jobs away. Workers are no longer needed that is why factories are coming back to the USA. Right now, the jobs they take are mostly repetitive jobs, but what happens when they develop AI Robots that think for themselves then you can kiss the rest of jobs goodbye. Society most solve the problem of too many people and not enough jobs or the whole Society falls apart.

Republican repeal of the ACA

If you must replace the ACA please put a cap on insurance premiums and prescription cost. I still think the best way to go is a National Healthcare system because for one thing it would help businesses for their biggest cost is their healthcare benefit costs. Another is by spreading the cost through the whole population it would bring down the cost for everyone.
Replace ACA with a National Healthcare System like the rest of the world enjoys. You complain that the premiums have gone up under ACA, but that is the fault of the Healthcare insurance companies, not ACA or the government in general.
My bet is that they make small changes then call it Trumpcare instead of Obamacare. I sure the deplorables will believe it for they believe anything Trump says.
