I really hate to hear this. I do not like to see anything or anybody filing bankruptcy. It means people have failed, people have lost jobs, more people whose families are stressed by financial woes. It also means our clothes may not fit properly from here forward as manufacturers will not care about sizing as we will be dependent on them and we will wear what they halfway construct whether sizing is true or whether it fits the charts shown.
We will be totally dependent on a machine for what we wear, a machine that will not talk to us, that evil computer which, to me, is the double-edged sword, good for a few matters, but so horrible overall and the worst part is that everything is becoming dependent on it, even to the gas stations, the water works, the farmers.
I made a living long before computers were the normal, as did others. I had more personal friends than Facebook friends, I attended church more frequently. What does the computer have to do with church attendance? When one works from home, either employed or self-employed, employers and self expect a greater commitment to work than to church. Our society only respects one religion at this time, and that is not mine.
People are more committed to running to Facebook for sociliazation than friends they made or would make in the workplace, in social clubs, through church, volunteer and charitable works, political and social involvement, through their children's or spouse's friends, etc.
I do believe the computer is the root of all evil. It has caused lives to be taken through the games that are on line, it has caused jobs to be abolished, caused people to attend church less frequently, to do less volunteer and charitable work and we give money on line to what, and to whom and they can hide how it is being spent because we never see the fruits of our money. Sorry, on my soapbox today. I lost my job due to computers a few years ago, way before I retired from my self-employment. My daughter lost a very lucrative job. Now my son has been caught in the trap. These jobs are not going to be replaceable. These jobs, very high-profile jobs, will never return. Computers, cheap labor, the end of a great country, a great and charitable self-sufficient country.
If you look at what Bill Gates and his wife do for charity through the UN, all they do is not worth one human life that has been lost due to embellishing their financial status. Every penny they give is an evil penny. Even if they gave it all, they could never essuage their guilt due to the lives lost, the financial ruin to those families where the families are destroyed by their financial crisis, families where have been suicides or lives lost by mass murderers, and we see that not only those lost but the damage to perpetrators families. We did not have all these rashes of mass murders until gaming on computers. Every mass murderer has been a big computer geek, has spent time on line more than with others, and all the suicides I know of are the same. No amount of pills is going to cure a society of mass murderers, suicide victims or financially and spiritually bankrupt people
Now off my soapbox.
I absolutely agree. I told my DH 30 years ago that a computer is evil. He laughed at me...
