The United States used to have a very true reputation of being an isolationist country. We were self sustaining, and didn't need to rely on other countries for goods and services [[within reason: if we needed India Ink, we had to go to India, eh?]].
I'm not exactly sure where we got so dependant on other countries, or where this idea of a "Global Economy" became a good thing. I rather like the idea of not being at the mercy of another country, whether it be for oil, for cars, or for nine one one call dispatchers.
The Concieted Part
- Sway
- My name is Jaclyn, but I go by Jack, or Sway. I'm a kid from a small sports town in Pennsylvania. However, this blog isn’t about me at all. This is going to be used for me to express my frustrations with the world today. It's not like I can really tell anyone else about it, because talking government, world issues or politics with sophomores in high school is usually less than satisfying, and adults kinda just shrug me off whenever I bring it up. I'm not sure, maybe they're too blind to see it, or maybe they're just too tired. Tired of working their asses off day in and day out for shitty service industry jobs because everything else was outsourced to Pakistan. Tired of going to bed every night praying that tomorrow their boss isn't going to wake up and realize that he could pay 3 Mexicans two dollars a day to do the job they do. Or maybe they just can’t see it. If that is the case, then I am truly deeply sorry them Anyway, that’s a different story. I am not here to preach. I don't want to tell you that what you're doing is wrong. I just want to put my thoughts down and out of my head so that I don't explode in my Political Science class because we can’t talk about politics.
