A Tour Of Poor Dayton - The End of GM in Dayton

2009-01-09T04:56:02Z

This will be posted on both profiles.

In a devastating blow to the Dayton metropolitan area, General Motors Truck and Bus Facility is closing officially.

The date slated for December 23, 2008, two days before Christmas.

Local businesses are bracing for the impact.

Governor Ted Strickland, Democrat, offered $60 million to keep GM in Dayton. GM turned it down. Even the lawmakers assisted in keeping GM in Dayton. They included Representative Mike Turner, Republican, Ohio Senators George Voinovich, Republican and Sherrod Brown, Democrat. The local mayors of Kettering, Moraine and Dayton were hoping they can delay the inevitable. But time has come.

In the beginning, there were 40,000 jobs at GM, then 18,000. At last check almost a tenth of workers (less than 1,800) are going to be out of jobs.

GM, Chrysler and Ford got a $17.5 million dollar bailout from The Bush Administration. President Bush and President Obama both warn that if the automakers can't figure out a solution, they lose the loan.

Corporate executives had to lose the private jets and stock in order to gain some money.

Republican Senator Richard Selby of Alabama is very critical of this decision to bailout the automakers.

What the Bush administration offered was a Band-Aid to a gun shot wound!

For the conservatives watching, don't blame the unions for the GM closing. This is not the fault of any union, CEO, manager or employee.

Times are hard for everyone, and the worst is yet to come.

FAQ- The reason why I call this a Tour of Poor Dayton is because of the area's declining population, jobs, boarded homes, business closings and economic turmoil in Montgomery, Miami and Greene Counties. And most likely Ohio in general. I have a reason for the title. If you have concerns, send me a message. So that will put to rest any questions of why I titled the videos!

Global Pulse - 12/18/2008: Shoe Adieu: The Bush Legacy

2009-01-09T04:42:21Z

(December 18, 2008) Bushs last trip to Iraq as president will most likely be remembered due to a now famous pair of shoes. Over the past year, his legacy has been under sharp scrutiny in the international media. From the Iraq War and accusations of torture, to Katrina, the economic crisis, and the Axis of Evil, their coverage paints an unflattering picture of the Bush administrations tenure.

"The Era of Growth is Ending" - Jerry Mander

2009-01-09T04:49:52Z

Complete video at: fora.tv

Activist Jerry Mander describes America's current economic model as "unsustainable," and argues that a full return to pre-crisis levels of economic prosperity may not be possible "in our lifetimes."

-----

The fight for the environment does not stop at the edge of Antarctica's icebergs. The front lines stretch from the WTO and South Korean farms to our shopping bags and gas tanks.

With so many simultaneous environmental combat zones, many questions arise. Who is fighting this war? And who is going to win?

We have compiled a panel of leading authors, each with a unique perspective on environmental battles.

They use stories to explain what is happening to the environment around the globe, and look at how we are being directly affected at home and how each of us can play a part - The Commonwealth Club of California

Jerry Mander is an American activist best known for his book "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television" (1977), and for his contribution to a book on an unrelated topic, "The Great International Paper Airplane Book" (1971).Mander worked in advertising for 15 years, including five as partner and president of Freeman, Mander & Gossage in San Francisco. In 1971 he founded the first non-profit advertising agency in the United States, Public Interest Communications, which worked on campaigns to prevent dams in the Grand Canyon, found Redwood National Park, and stop the American project to build a supersonic transport. He is currently the director of the International Forum on Globalization and the program director for Megatechnology and Globalization at the Foundation for Deep Ecology.

Keeping Faith in the Free Market - Peter Thiel

2009-01-09T04:49:53Z

Complete video at: fora.tv

PayPal founder and venture capitalist Peter Thiel encourages support for the concept of an unfettered, unregulated free market in the face of the current economic downturn.

-----

Peter Thiel argues that a book published in France in 1968, Le Defi Americain (The American Challenge) has a lot to say to us in the United States in 2008 and discusses why the U.S. has failed to rise to the heights predicted by its author, J. J. Servan-Schreiber.

In explaining what's wrong with the U.S. economy, Thiel points out that, although we have benefited from growth that is both extensive (e.g., free trade) and intensive (e.g., technology), we have not featured enough of each.

He asserts that the credit crisis of 2008 has nothing to do with the failings of the free market but rather is a by-product of government entanglement, nurtured by the motors of economic growth working less well than expected - Hoover Institution

Peter Thiel is an American entrepreneur, hedge fund manager, and venture capitalist. With Max Levchin, Thiel co-founded PayPal and was its CEO. He currently serves as president of Clarium Capital Management LLC, a global macro hedge fund with more than $6 billion under management, and a managing partner in The Founders Fund, a $275 million under management venture capital fund he launched with Ken Howery and Luke Nosek in 2005. He was an early investor in Facebook, the popular social-networking site, and sits on the companys Board of Directors.

Thiel was ranked #377 on the Forbes 400, with a net worth of $1.3 billion.

Peter M. Robinson is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, where he writes about business and politics, edits Hoover's quarterly journal, the Hoover Digest, and hosts Hoover's television program, Uncommon Knowledge.
