The 2015 trivial drivel thread

[blueberryhill]

O.K. my dander is up again....just read that Chinese women (in droves) are coming to U.S. to give birth so that their children will be U.S. Citizens, WTF, but guess it makes sense when you realized that many wealth Corporations, businesses, and wealth in the U.S. is actually owned by the Chinese. I think in 20 years, the majority group will be Asian. If any of you watch the Millionaire Real Estate shows on Bravo, when the agents want someone really wealthy to buy 34,000,000 million and up properties, who do they call....their counterparts in China. It is depressing that so few of our former USA companies are now owned by foreign entities. I am not suggesting that the USA be all Caucasians, but would like a few of us to remain...would it be childish to say, "we were here first."...but then I think of my great grandfather who came to the US as a stowaway (at least we couldn't find his port of entry) from Prussia, but still he got here first...and yes, I know the Indian populations beat all of us here....I am a Hershey candy addict and I think, their main factory is now in Mexico. Cheap labor got us into the never ending bad economy and outsourcing clothes, food, etc. to other countries and then reshipping them back to US. Couldn't believe the story of the chicken who grew up in the US, was sent to China for packaging and processing and then shipped back to US and stocked on the shelves of your local food stores....Talk about stale and yucky food.....Just notice labels on your fruit and other food products and what country they were imported from....I mentioned before that we are running out of farmland which provided our food and building more condos, homes, etc...I still have family in Kansas who are cattle ranchers and wheat farmers, but many farmer of the past were bought out by the giant corporations who now produce some of our cancer inducing foods filled with anti-biotics, human hormones, and meat sources are crowded into spaces smaller than our seats on the airlines...Wow, in process of progress, we actually created some very real threats to the health and safety of ourselves and future generations....and some of the fish off the coast of Washington and Oregon have been discovered to contain radiation from the storm and damage to nuclear plant in Japan. Mutations of ocean species of fish also have been observed...In 100 years, it may not be safe to eat anything, then what? I am sure they will invent something....
