Government Calming Propaganda


We have all experienced the effects of bad customer service.  We find it in the Post Office, in doctor’s offices, in every government office at every level, from every government employee whatever the venue.  To ensure inefficiency, government employees are often members of a government union.  This ensures poor customer service when procedures won’t allow good service and prevents termination of poor performers. 

To calm us down, propaganda has been prepared, digested and spewed out by the brainwashed promoters of calm.  In Europe they said Americans are missing out on the joys if sitting around.  In the suburbs, promoters are defending bad decisions on the part of elected officials.

Public schools have performed so poorly, that there are hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats employed every year to ‘work on this’ – most of them are in non-profits funded by government grants.  Publicly infected healthcare continues to invent even more expensive treatment plans and no cures.  Publicly infected universities up the dosage of Kool aid in every class, every department and every campus activity. 

DOTs plan for road humps (the inverted pot-hole) to calm congested traffic and on-street bike lanes to promote exercise for the few. Government grants abound for green space, so we can sit around in a potential crime-scene.  Government grants are plentiful for “retail space economic development”, so we can run up the balance on our credit cards.  Government agents are “secretly” destabilizing third-world countries to distract us from being robbed by the Federal Reserve.  Government provides ‘bread and circuses’ with food stamps and taxpayer funded pro football fields.

Allowing some tiny part of the economy to be totally in our control is another calming ploy.  In Germany, we were told that the government requires that beer, bakery goods and clothing must be sold by Germans to Germans.  They have family bakeries and micro-breweries and German textiles providing these.  They are so proud and pleased when they tell you about this.  They also love their government healthcare.  They would not give up their government pensions, but they like to make up rumors about disability benefit cheaters. They say they hate inefficiency, but they require a years’ severance for every terminated employee. They complain about them too.  In Germany, the Autobahn is alive and well, so some independent travel is now allowed (papieren bitte ?), but they do tout the trains.

In Rome Italy, public transportation is king.  This is because they have eliminated parking places.  This works ok unless the transportation union declares a holiday.  All trains and buses stop and tourists are left stranded miles away from their hotels.  It happened to us on Christmas Eve. 

All across Europe, they sell public transportation like crazy, but I prefer to rent a car, thank you very much. Europe is about the size of half the U.S. and most are not a mobile tend to settle not far from their birthplace. They still cherish their private property.

When government takes action against the citizens of other countries, citizens do react.  Germany and Australia have changed governments to off-load doubling their electric bills and carbon taxes.   It’s high time we do the same.
