Been preoccupied

I'm sorry I haven't been blogging as much lately. I have been writing something longer to do with "As Drones Evolve a lot lately. When you are writing something you are inspired to write it is like any other creative artistic thing you are doing. It takes time to do this but also often it can be like a new lover when you are young that you put a lot of time into. I write because I think it might help people not only now but into the future. So, this is my motivation for writing whether it is blogging and writing and compiling useful information or it is writing to try to inspire this and future generations to be compassionate to themselves and others so civilization can continue unabated on earth and useful technologies can increase. However, this is always a balance.

For example, I was thinking today about the 11 trillion dollars wasted by the U.S. fighting terrorism around the world and what a waste that all has been in so many ways.

As a direct result of both that and globalization our infrastructure is crumbling in highways, bridges, gas mains, electrical wiring, power poles, plumbing and sewers and water quality etc. etc. etc.

So, the main result (here in the U.S. from all the military expenditures since 2001 (11 trillion dollars) spend overseas, is not being attacked by any foreign army and not having safe bridges highways, gas mains (some 50 or more years old that keep blowing up houses periodically across the U.S.) and bridges that rust out and periodically collapse sometimes with people on them all across the U.S. and other problems like pot holes that don't get fixed like they used to before 2000 here in the U.S.

So, on many different levels already we are becoming a third world nation on the ground with infrastructure crumbling in many many different ways.

And this is directly a result of not spending out money here and spending it overseas to the military industrial complex in the U.S. and worldwide instead.

The U.S. and worldwide military industrial complex doesn't really care whether everyone in the U.S. has a good job or not. It doesn't care whether people go to college or not. It doesn't care whether people have safe bridges and roads or not. It doesn't care if people don't have health care or not. All it cares about is making shit that blows up and kills people and that it gets paid more and more money until the average person in the U.S. has starved to death while collapsing on a rusty bridge while his home blew up from a bad old gas main.

The Military industrial complex and globalization don't care whether everyone dies on earth or not. They just want to make more money worldwide and that's all. It doesn't care if everyone alive starves to death or not. Because that's not important to either thing.

And this is the problem that Trump and Sanders are trying to address. But, it might be too late already.

Because I don't think either of them could make the good changes we need without getting assassinated by the military industrial complex or worse.

So, do the people win or the military industrial complex and Globalization?

We'll see. Won't we?

The changes could be really easy or it could get very bloody both in the U.S. and worldwide.

And will that actually solve anything? Unknown.
