I actually feel bad that I get clothing for very low prices, but I do not feel bad when I shop at thrift stores.  Sometimes I get things under $20, $10, or even lower because nowadays women like to get sale items that are very, very low.  Can you imagine the labor that goes into it, where people from India or Indonesia are sewing and breaking their backs to make something now?  Fast Fashion as you call it, has made it so easy to make things so quickly and ship over here for such low costs.  I am sad for the people in India, China, or wherever the labor goes to because they don’t get paid much.

Trump says that he will ship jobs back but the question is “WHAT KIND OF JOBS?”  The jobs that broke people’s back or jobs that have a lot of automation and they hire just a thousand in the whole damn company.  If you ship jobs back EPA, the one who tells which businesses can be here to use up the land, where we throw wastes or rinse waste into our waterways and air.  If Trump selects who can be head of EPA, means we will end up polluting our waters and air.  Do you even think about what that means to us when you elected Trump?  I told someone about China, how their air and land is very much polluted because most of the factory jobs went there back in the 90’s and polluted their air and water.  And not just that, what happens over there happens over here, because the world is round and the wind blows from here to there, not just that…the ocean has currents and sends trash from here to there and all around.

There’s automation going on and Artificial Intelligence is going to happen, where we end up relying more and more on automation and AI.  This means the working blue collar class who voted for Trump will not get what they want in the end, and if these companies are going to come back, they’re going to use Automation because they think in profits—that’s just how capitalism works.

The world should head towards Socialism, but I don’t even know if we are ready for that now, even, maybe another election for Bernie Sanders.  Do you know what the big companies and rich people think of Bernie Sanders, they go “HHHHELLLLL no…” to that.

The more money you have the more power you have, so if Trump isn’t powerful as president the world’s one percent is powerful because they will tell you what you do because they have the capital, or the money to do so. They will be paying politicans, corrupted politicans, to do as they say.

But there are billionaires who are humanitarians or philanthropists.  In the public eye, they are… but who knows who or what they are behind closed doors.

Anyways, when you bring jobs back here and pay higher wages than you did in Mexico or in China, it means the cost of living will go up and not just that, the cost of products will go up, so that means less money to be concerned about--that's if thousands, upon thousands of jobs gets back here because Trump promised us jobs.  People, here, do not want jobs that break your back and they will certainly not go for 20 cent a day job.  The reason why items cost so less now because they were able to break even at a low, very low cost with labor, transportation or what.

Can you imagine our waterways getting polluted just to make a single shirt, that the dyes don’t generally come off when you clean your clothes.  The waste, the excess water runs off somewhere, it has to go somewhere.

I have stopped myself from shopping and now will only shop at thrift stores.  I am very sad about the world where it’s going because I feel we are in deep trouble.  We are just living in a bubble and not understanding how bad it is. 

Please do something about it, now that I have woken you up.
Just think about it, you guys.
