The Day that America changed

2009-06-02T05:44:00.005-04:00

What happened today is that the US Government, headed by President Barack Obama, has decided to Invest 30,000,000,000$ of its people money in GM, a BANKRUPT company!

What private investor would invest 30B$ in a company that goes Bankrupt? I guess that because the answer is “There is no such crazy investor in the entire world” then the US Government volunteered to be that investor. Make no mistakes, Barack Obama has decided to take Americans money and Invest it, making all Americans into Shareholders in a failing auto company.

Let me give you a small lesson in Logics.

Fact 1: Toyota (or any other car manufacturer in the US for that matter like Ford, Honda, Chrysler, Tesla…) is a direct competitor of GM in the Auto industry.

Fact 2: GM = United States Government. (The US government as of today holds 60% of GM shares)

Therefore: Toyota is now a direct competitor of the United States Government.

Is that Fair for Toyota or any other car company to be in direct competition with the US Government?

And more than that, as:

Fact 3: The US Government = is really representing the US people.

Therefore: The US people are now a direct competitor of Toyota.

Therefore: Should US people, as newly shareholders of GM now prefer to buy a GM car over a Toyota car in order to support their investment in GM?

Is that Fair to Toyota or any other car company in the US to be in a direct conflict of interest with the US consumers?

- And as for the tax-money that is collected from such car companies like Toyota and Ford, is it Morally fair that it will be used to fund a competitor? Does Toyota pay taxes to bail-out GM?

- And what about saving other Car companies that might fail in the future. Would it be fair NOT to bail them out if they will need help?

- Or for that matter, why not any company, why only car companies?

- And as for the Other Millions of individuals that have lost their jobs lately in Other failed companies, why didn’t the US government bail them out? Shouldn’t their companies be bailed out to spare their jobs? Are they less important that the GM workers? Is that morally fair to them?

- And wouldn’t the US Government be now in a conflict of interest regarding any future decision regarding the automotive industry? I mean, let’s say for instance the US Government will decide not to bail-out the next failing car company, wouldn’t such company claim that it is done because the US Government has already an interest in GM? I mean every decision will now be biased by definition, no?

Mr. President,

I believe that more than just a very bad financial decision, this is also a very MORALLY WRONG decision, towards all tax-paying Americans, all other car companies, all those that lost their jobs and totally contradict the spirit that brought this nation to greatness. I strongly believe it contradicts the constitution itself….

The Master will become the Slave

2009-05-02T17:38:00.003-04:00

A vicious cycle is going to happen.

1. All Starting by the current US government deflating the value of the dollar by trying to reverse the situation and therefore printing and borrowing more money.

2. At some point the dollar value will drop like a rock.

3. Then the Chinese will understand that their dollar reserves are deflated and try to get out of their dollar holding by using it to buy real assets around the world, buying metals and other basic commodities, as well as real assets in USA, as well as shares in the top 500 public companies in the USA. This Chinese dollar sellout will even intensify the dollar drop in value. Because the Chinese will not want to impact their own dollar holdings by selling much of it, they will do it quietly, buying anonymously more and more assets, which will make it very hard to track, but one day we will wake up to a new reality in which the Chinese government will become the new landlord of American top assets, or basically the new landlords of America.

4. There will be a very high inflation in America, the dollar will be worth much less. everything will cost a fortune and salaries will stay low.

5. The American people will need to move from service industries to manufacturing, but this time, they will get a small wage working for a Chinese owner, something very hard for us to adjust.

6. America will become the new China of cheap labor, not allowing the people to enjoy all the luxury but rather work for keeping them alive.

15-20 years from now, looking back into history, it will be seen that a combination of:

a. Decades of hard-working Chinese, saving their incoming dollars by their government, making the people save as much as possible while getting more and more American manufacturing outsourced to China,

b. And at the same time a corruption of American society, making it into an "Obese" mentality created by two factors:

i. The US Credit concept that allowed Americans to live beyond their means, with the option to borrow and re-finance at any point, both at the individual level as well as the corporate level and at the government level,

ii. And the prevalent of the social concept of consumerism that saving is bad and spending is what defines us as Americans,

have created a situation that the Master(Americans) became the Slave(cheap Chinese laborers) and the slave became the master. because the Master(Americans) have Borrowed money from the slave(cheap Chinese laborers) to buy his cheap services for years and now when it is time to pay back the loans, the slave comes to claim the Master house as a payout.

Unfortunately, this will be intensified by the current US administration that deflates the dollar even further. The new administration should have tried to stop the crisis at the last minute by doing Only three things: (i) Letting the markets take care of themselves, including letting large corporations to fail (ii) Reversing the spending and start saving both on a national level as well as encouraging individuals to save on a personal level, And by (iii) Start manufacturing more and giving private entrepreneurs incentives to manufacture more in the USA. But instead the US administration will continue to borrow and print money to artificially reduce the pain in the short term on expense of America’s long term future. The truth is that the administration is expected to do this by its voters as no nation has ever been in such a situation before and therefore nobody really knows what should be done. What American do want now, is a quick pain relief so instead of dealing with the real problem we take the shortcut pain-killer and let the CANCER grow ten times in size.

It's like laws of physics, there cannot be something out of nothing. There cannot be a way for a government to take us out of a hole (debt we took for so many years) by borrowing more money. In order to climb out of the hole we need to roll up our sleeves and climb, but as you may know, for an Obese it is very hard to climb.....

A personal letter to God

Thank you God for my life.
Thank you for this world, and for the state of Israel.
Thank you for the miracle of my body, and for your endless patience.
Thank you for all humans and the opportunity you gave us, to be partners in your creation to do good.
Thank you for the smallest detail that we tend to forget to thank you for, and for the largest forces that are so obedient.
Thank you for all you have given me, especially for my family and the people around me.
Thank you God for your belief in me and for the success you have given me.
Thank you God so much,

Always yours,
Oren

Final moment of Truth

Probably the most influencing movie scene I have ever seen was at the end of the Schindler’s list. It is at the end of the war when Mr. Schindler stands in front of all the Jewish prisoners he had saved from extermination, and suddenly realizes, that he could have done more to save a few more people. He, who have done so much and saved so many is ashamed and embarrassed for all these that he didn’t save. He says: “oh, I could have done more, I could have traded my car for another few lives, and this pin that I’m wearing, I could have got one more live for that”. To me this is a sheer enlightenment as I believe we are all going to feel the same one day. One day, when we will return our soul to god and stand in front of him, no matter how righteous or good-doers we believe we are today, we will have a hard time looking in the mirror and ask ourselves: “why?, why didn't we do more for more people. We had the means; we had this life and this body; we had the freedom of choice. Why didn’t we use it better for the world and its people? At least for those that were close to us, why didn’t we do more?” This feeling of Shame and Miss is going to be very unpleasant and I think that if we’ll think about it enough today, we might do more today, while we are still here in this world and have the freedom of choice. And like in the movie, when Schindler’s assistant, Itzhak Stern(Ben Kingsley) is comforting Mr. Schindler for this horrible feeling, telling him how much he did do for all these people that he saved, so will the Angels in heaven comfort our soul, reminding us of the good actions we have done while we were alive.

if you haven’t seen the movie, go see it today. If you saw it already, see it again!

And please, Do one good thing today...

A Thought I had today:

If you look back, ten generations ago, you would find that one person then is an ancestor of many people that live today. That one person gave life to a few people, who in turn gave life to others and so on. Basically ONE person then could be a common ancestor of MILLIONS of us living today. Like a big Pyramid, that widens its base every generation....

But interesting enough, the opposite Pyramid is also true. Each of us living today has two parents, and four grand parents, and eight grand grand parents, etc. If you look twenty generations ago, you will see that every ONE of us today is a combination of more than a MILLION different ancestors that lived then.

I guess that any way you look at it, you will see that we are all One Big Family.

So I want to Welcome you, my Brothers and Sisters to my new BLOG.
