Made in America?

Accounting firms have outsourced their book-keepi­ng services overseas as well. We have come to the tipping point due to the combinatio­n of automation and outsourcin­g overseas where we need to step back and ask where do we go from here? This system no longer works for the general population­. We have come back to the inequities of feudal times, early American south and the late 1880’s. For the wealthy few to have their lifestyles­, apparently a wage poor, overworked huge class of people is needed who are too tired to protest against such conditions­. Calling for a return to the wonder years of post WWII is not the answer because we can’t replicate the conditions of that time, we need to look outside of the box and call for a new solution and a new social contract. One that starts with our political system being completely divorced from unlimited campaign monies that essentiall­y buy political power. That in and of itself would be huge.

When driving what frustrates you the most?

Driving, postaday2011

I’ve been told that I drive like a little old lady. I don’t know if I’d go that far, but I will admit that I’m never really in a hurry to get from point A to point B. There aren’t many things that frustrate me while driving. The only thing that sticks out in my mind that frustrates me to no end is when I’m driving on the highway and I get into my groove, meaning I have my cruise control set at 73 mph, and some erratic driver comes along and crowds my safety bubble. So instead of being able to enjoy a stress-free ride, I have to readjust my speed, wasting precious gas by either slowing down or speeding up to regain my safety bubble. I do get annoyed because nine times out of ten, the driver that disrupted the safety bubble only did so to get ahead of one car and then slows down immediately afterward. In the whole scheme of things, is this the worst? No, of course not, I just find offense with it because it throws a few things out of whack, the safety bubble, the fuel efficiency of cruise control and my relaxation at the wheel. So there you have it, my albatross of the road.
