We are being hit on all sides financially. U.S. companies are closing, the stock market is getting worse, and more people are getting laid off.
Our country's financial problems are still on fire today. We have been hit again at our stock market and all the other stock markets from other countries that make up the Dow. We have more companies that are saying that they will have to layoff or downsize to keep them afloat, but the only news you ever hear about concern the large companies. What is happening to all of these employees that are losing their jobs?
Our government keeps telling us that we matter, but when you watch the news all you hear about are these big companies. Have we ever asked our leaders what they plan to do for us in helping us get back on our feet? When our government gave us the first stimulus check, it was to help us, which came in handy for a lot of us because it paid our bills, but this wasn't what the lawmakers thought that it would be used for. They thought that people would use it to go on trips or to go buy clothes or to use it for fun. It was a way for some of us to stay out of the poor house for a while longer.
They are talking about doing it again, which will be great, but with more people out of work, it will be needed for the same things as the last: to pay bills. We need to have our city planners get out of the dark ages and realize that we need new companies to be brought into our cities, counties, and states if we even hope to survive.
We have small cities in this country that are disappearing with each passing day with some of these only having one company to supply jobs to a lot of cities around them. If this one company would close or shut down because of maybe them wanting to take their company to other countries, what do you think will happen to all of those people that would lose or the towns around this company? This is what I mean by our city leaders needing to wake up.
We, as citizens, are living longer and the jobs that are out there are usually made for the younger people that have gotten their diplomas, but we don't have enough jobs for the ones of the older groups of people that might not have that diploma because of one reason or another.
