Author: SAVE DIRT

My life took many turns, not giving up at really knowing ,is,part of personal inventory , reaching out, through, my recollections , makes me feel that , at least my first person perspective is more valid than , say , gossip. I have suffered from mental health issues my entire life . I don’t believe in labels ( diagnostic guesswork ) I have traumatic brain damage, and have seen other labels put on me , in , medical records In grade school , they tested me and in many years , I was put in S L D programs. ( not at Linwood Elementary ). Sever asthma ( that manifested when I was eight years old ) kept me out of serving in the military I worked all of my life = some years there was four or more W 2’s to file . I continued to work ( and volunteer) after getting SSDI in 2004 and still do. I was A. Brother A paperboy A. Handy man child and adult,for my blind Dad A. Kid who helped neighbors A. Boy Scout A. Environmentalist A. Day laborer A. Janitor A. Warehouse worker A. Camper , Hiker , Canoe paddler A. Photographer A. Broom ball player A. House flipper , A. Motorcycle owner A. Forester A. Truck Mechanic A. Farm hand A. Carny A personal care giver A. Volunteer A. Gardener A. Crew leader A. Prisoner And that is only a bit of me there is a lot more to tell.

Connect the dots

The ways of the economy are yours to see.

In Saint Paul , we lost companies,many manufacturing jobs disappeared in my lifetime

Whirlpool, American Hoist, Crane , the Ford plant and 3M to name a few .

What kind of jobs replaced these lost ?

The population kept growing , There was/is the emergence of computers and ” tech” company’s over the last 38 years

But how many are here , in this areas economy ?

During hard times = entertainment is still needed and people spend just as much looking for ways to escape

The combination the rise in the internet , the video gaming , the social medias , And the rise in meth use , the use of weed ,were ,hand in hand

That left a problem for law enforcement, the population of prisons soared ,

The jobs relating to drug treatment , maintaining prisons and security in general became a huge part of the economy, like running a police state

Now after decades of this shift the whole system of America’s political structures are corrupted .

NOW THE DOTS YOU NEED TO CONECT ARE. = who has the powers?

How are taxes spent? , how do government jobs ( city, county & state )get into the hands of those who serve an agenda , rather than the people ?

From what I’ve seen , the more you are connected to this corruption = the better your life will be , as in more doors will open , more opportunity for you and yours

Call me paranoid , if you will , but I’ve seen and been served by this underworld ,

The word AGENDA , has replaced the word JUSTICE.

Survival has replaced prosperity

And SERVICE has replaced production .
