Decimated by Impression

The ill-fated series on middle class day-to-day worries, that I meant to add so much more to in a non-fiction manner, didn't really get off the ground as well as I had hoped. The fact that the audience levels for the Bster Blog have dwindled to almost nothing may have had some effect upon that result. You see, yes, I do write a lot of stuff for myself, and, yes, I have'nt much wanting for feedback, but in some cases, the feedback from a solid number of  3 was much appreciated.

I can't even lay claim to my audience leaving and going  to some other blog site...waiting for my posts there to suddenly appear. They didn't and they aint. I guess folks just got tired of waiting here for a consistant posting level from me or they just do not like me. I tend to grasp hold of the former as the fear of the latter would cause me to start again...somewhere else...............under a new name.......like.......DaBstah......................cool.

But I must continue on with this series except this time in much more editorial fashion. I sort of dislike leaving things unfinished. It disturbs me if I have to constantly look at it and see a job half done......like only having the toilet in for the "New" bathroom. I swear I'II put the drywall up this year!

Ontario is fighting a battle that is sincere in righteousness. It wants to save the manufacturing sector because at least one level of government, the Provincial, realizes that it really is under attack. The federal government would rather play a blame game thing and the municipal governments remains as useless for the people as they always have seemed. The provincial government has begged for funding to help save the heavily dependant manufacturing business of Ontario. The number one province in Canada for many years is now being challenged on all sides. Alberta is rich with oil. BC is rich with natural resources. Other provinces are sneaking up as well. It isn't all that difficult really. Ontario has, in the past 15 years or so, relied heavily on the manufactuaring sector and the low dollar. Both are concurrently flying south and the "leaders" are still watching from a distant sideline.

All that is happening in the papers and it looks like your typical political pissing match. I aint that young to think our situation is playing out any differently than that of other towns/cities. To the south of us is Buffalo and they serve as a daily reminder of what people neglect will get ya. That same daily reminder packages well with worry and the end creation can be very touchy for those who read and understand the secret battle our two main governments are having right now.

The residue of all this is that those folks who are currently employed in this failing sector, even those of us employed by companies that are busy, are feeling a certain amount of heat. Variant amounts to be sure. Those who are employed by companies that are visibly dying, are doing more to look out for themselves then they are for the company because they have seen the writing on the wall. Those who have a good gig and figure it might still take them to the chair that rocks are clinging as tight as possible. The competition is coming in all sorts of clothing. Time to buckle down. This buckling down aint exactly helping their companies, it just means they are being more protecting of their own gig in a company political fashion.

The impression of decimation is causing the middle working class to distance themselves even further from their neighbors. It is a natural digression that we are currently going through and it speaks to the ills of democracy. The rich are still getting richer and the poor are still expanding their membership. They are stealing from the middle class. The old union motto (of which I have never been a member of) seems to be coming true : "Rich and Poor...Middle Class no more". The world is expanding for those who feel that want to go out and constantly be in that fast lane. The roadkill piles up with those who thought they could handle speed but we all do well to ignore.

We are getting closer to our bubble existence that we all seem to feel some great need to attain.....The growing wants of most inner souls is for alienation from mass amounts of people. Our suburbian movements  would strongly suggest as such.....The problem is that there won't be bubbles for all.....The haves may feel some obligation to offer a very large sized budget type bubble to those many who will not be able to afford their own......or maybe not....Careful what you wish for.
