Today I Have A Few Thoughts

Never seen such a big fuss about the Martin Tower implosion in Bethlehem. Many are carrying on about the health affects. Others making a party out of it. You'd think this was the first implosion that ever happened. My issue is why we're so eager to destroy buildings preferring to fill up the dumps needlessly?

Why the world are conservatives so eager to ignite the firestorm once again over abortions? Aren't there enough divisions within our country already? Shouldn't we be more focused on the out of hand pay day loan interest rates, drug prices, surprise hospital bills, income inequalities, the growing debts our governments can't pay for, infrastructure repairs, deterioration of our environment and about a zillion other things government hasn't dealt with?

Should we be starting shit with Venezuela and Iran when we still haven't wrapped up our involvements in Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and some of these other places?

If there was a actual coup against Donald Trump shouldn't he be relishing his victory over it? Like someone said-- there were two people disappointed in 2016. Hillary who lost and Trump who won. Neither seem very happy.

If Allentown, Pennsylvania's NIZ revitalization is so successful why are both the city and school district so deep in debt?

Irony in Allentown, Pennsylvania: One side says we need more low income housing. Meanwhile the city is strapped with too much of it not bringing in the property valued taxes it needs. Which is it?

There's an outcry from some for much needed public transportation yet bus companies have gone out of business (or require supplemental tax dollars) for the lack of customers.

We're converting tons of former manufacturing locations into apartments and museums people are now paying into. I remember I time when it was the other way around.

Challenges of the day:
Find how many items in your home or what you buy aren't made outside the United States. How many are repairable? if so, are there any shops left who can repair them? For example do you repair or replace your TV, refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, electronics or furniture when they need fixing?

Has anyone spoken directly one on one to their political representative?
