Sure the NBA teams are allowed budgets to campaign and sign on but ,the cities themeselves, with high unemployment and state budget woes, there is just something unsettling about cities with love/hate relationships with millionaires. You know wanting someone who can bring money to a state or city, where there is already suppose to be industry, its like an unofficial anointing…kinda creepy.

See for me, its about who ever gets him that will base the next fiscal year on the money made by non-Lebron people. While there is money made in merchandise, for cities that are currently in the Red, which so happen to be all the cities vying for him, can a location with only so few millionaires, accidently turn into a real monarchy or an Egypt style government? I mean if you look at a Chicago or even Cleveland, can they really afford to sustain his livestyle? Not that he’s a flashy dude but, what do they have to offer him? There is not much investment potential in many of these cities.

For example a place like Chicago, Jordan was actually hated on for not investing in the city where there was not return. They just wanted money from him to floss. Jordan said no, got called an A-hole but he was actually smart because most of the financial deals were shrowided in politial controversy. See most business dealing in Chicago are fueld with politics. And political business dealings, I always see as some old dude’s M.O, not someone with actual earning potential.

Hell look at Antoine Walker. All that money, there was nothing there to sustain his monies aside from some run down places, baby momma beauty supply stores and a sneaker shop. What could Lebron be offered aside from lake front property?

These cities, aside from being broke, are not the most rich friendly cities. Like a LA where there many Venture Caplists and of course a New York or Miami where there is constant enterprise outside of real estate. Trust he’s taking this into consideration, not the franchise.

Being the richest guy in town can accidentally turn Lebron’s theoretical King title into an inevitability. People don’t realize Jordan didn’t live live in Chicago. He lived on the outskirts away from the “Help A Brutha Out” foundations and the “What’s in for Me” shake downs. And those kinds of mentions are only rampant in a broke ass city. Places that make money are not bombarded with that and mainly have a “we got a venture you should invest in,” vibe.

Its no secret Chicago is plagued with a lot legitimate crooks. Remember the robbing epedemic a few years ago with the athletes. It got so bad, Tank Johnson got caught up like T.I trying to protect himself from the streets that he “forgot” to pay back. (But that’s his fault) but I speculate.

Aside from playing in a humble town like a Minnesota or Denver where things can get upscale but obviously stay demnure, places like a Chicago or Cleveland are “big cities” yet there is a attitude against capitalism. They play union but want non-union money and Mr. Nike aka Big Box, brand name may get the life sucked out of him, and then robbed. No matter what city he chooses unless he knows something we don’t know about the future of team he joins, it’s going to be less about the team and more about the area’s current or potential industry that will land Lebron.

With the emphasis on low skilled workers, its not so much the change the way the government works but the alterations to sorta weed out the schoolers and downgrade them to a more realistic job aspect. You know, encouraging students to do less college and more vocational…cause thats where the jobs will end up. No not become inventors but, really good at putting together other people’s ideas…eek x2. I know in Hawaii and some places with factories they actually encourage students to just not do all that unnecessary education and junk, It would just confuse things and jack up the local economy….n’junk.

I don’t know why I feel I will see Bujie office workers, in the same factory with Meth heads, undocumented workers and hoodrats, in fields sorting corn, on I-57. I mean, for the longest the social majority felt they were in charge instead of temporary managers. I can see it now, someone bumping elbows with Bloomberg or Buffet on some, “They don’t know like we do huh?!” And the Billionaire simply say, “how you get pass security and were’s my scotch!”

I think the realization is starting to set in that the rich are not really in the wealthy clique. Now to not get all homeworky, it seems as if the Robin Hood movie made people see similarities in being “Taxed” and/or unfairly treated by authrotiy. I don’t know about specific references or whatever but, when I see people, not African working in fields, living in squalor…I see slave. You can jazz it up with all of this Serif crap but no.. Sorry.

I know as far as historical accuracy many people will pull out dates and other exact facts that trump my references but the truth is….until the Plague and Gutenburg came along, Serf’s were running the city as much as the Master allowed them. And the contracts they couldn’t even read was the only paper that appears to have applied them as “Serf’s,” go figure.

I think the real question is, can we now go more in-depth of slavery pass the African passages?

By the way, have you ever looked up the regions declared Human Capital…creepy stuff. I sooo hope this is speculative. I mean if thats your thing, then I guess Serfdom is a plus but, hey I like Coconut Ice Cream and Clear Pepsi, what do i know.

Word is many of the actors in this movie, personally funded the production which makes it all the worth while to support paying to see this and later purchasing the ACTUAL DVD.

Now I’m sure people would expect outradge and what the fuzznuts but, I look at things differently than most, for which I have long ago accepted.

See there seems to be a real sure thing, if you want someone do the opposite, basically just say “Rush likes it too.” Not only has he become the sure fire distraction for big issues in news/media. Its a sure way to get someone to do exactly what you want and for those that agree with him, its a two-fer cause the reality is, Rush doesn’t agree with half the stuff coming out of his mouth, making him dangerously impressionable but, in no way one of a kind.

So for my response to him owning a part of a NFL team, I asked this question to the person who asked me…”You know about Rush, but I bet you have no clue were the heart lays for the men who own most of this stuff. ” And that is the real question, if you found out a major company owner was a racist or a child molester or Michael Bolton fan, would you continue to use their products? 9 out of 10 chances is, you already have been and would come up with excuses to continue being a loyal customer.

Does it make it right? Well, the real question what can you live without? What most people fail to realize many of the owners of these teams have a lot in common with Rush, you just have the luxury to hear what he says most of the time. The difference, he gets paid to say it which makes him the victim of possibly sensationalizing for profit. Making him not really one of the billionaires that own teams but a wannabe, with a freshly cashed check. The  controversy of what he says keeps money in his pocket but, if he was caught in bed with Omarosa and Oprah, his career would be done, lets keep it real.  If anything it seems like he does everything allowed, to prey and profut off of the racial insecurity that plagues America.

What’s even worse, if you have a problem with him owning part of a team, imagine White rich men, over 60 years ago, who at that time where open and  unapologetically members of the Klan and actually went to the lengths to keep ppl of color on their team. I won’t even go into these baseball teams. Yet we all hear about Jackie Robinson or Clemente breaking barriers because at that time, ppl  just accepted most team owners were racist. Now, not so much. I wonder why that is? And if there is a problem with him owning a part of the Rams, should there be a problem with Jay-Z being apart of the Barclays invested franchise? I mean its no secret Barclays was the go to supply store of the slave trade movement, yet there was no major public outcry then.

Lets face it, if we stopped using products such that aided the Nazi movement or anything else we’d be left to riding bicycles, twigs and using rocks for pens. Rush prosing to buy in, just let the common folk in on what’s been happening for years. Should we be happy that is happens in a time when there is economic peril. It just seems like if he bought a stake in the team 15 years ago when ppl had money, very few would actually complain.

Teaming up with Robert Greene, the author of the cult self-help book, “The 48 Laws Of Power”- a favorite of several prominent rappers – Jackson’s book urges readers to live without fear. The book also suggests using “intense realism” to “see things for what they are.” [Source]

I’ve yet to hear one reason on why people are collectively worried about public health care, from the media and I’ve yet to hear one good reason on why American people should have to pay $3000 for a leg cast, from its opposers. Either way, people who are for, disagree on how free heath care should be and the others, well, they just don’t like public funding to affect their, um…social security income umm..errr, hmmm. And personally, no one is really explaining what we get out of all of this, if it passes or not *cough it will*.

For cash for clunkers, like I’d been saying for a while now, a car over $25K, albeit an expensive car means squat nowdays, if it doesn’t get over 19 miles to the gallon, and I’m pretty sure in about 2-3yrs, every car, praised and driven off the lot , by the time the owners pay off these new semi new cars with their Cars Rebate System, those will be just as illegitimate as the cars that replaced them. I can’t wait to see the emissions lines then. But here is the catch, the very clever catch and reason behind all of this… no matter how much we all complain to disagree or not, this will happen and without option. And unemployment, once seen as a bad thing, will become the easy manner to accept everything people now think they hate.

Cash For Clunkers
The car industry, once over supplied with cars, as much a month ago, was met with demand for the first time in nearly a year. Co-winkie? Nope, with everyone turning in their cars for rebates, it sent a shock pulse through the car industry. Giving it sorta of a reboot and making auto lots, popular again. With the government, on the back-end still managing the operating fiances of the auto industry, cash for clunkers too me seems completely necessary from their end, to get not only a return on investment after bailing out US automakers, but forcing the transition of new, seemingly better auto production on a consumer who, technically couldn’t afford it but now, some how has found a way to invest in a new car, just to drive…not to their jobs but to the unemployment line.

Unemployment, Health Care’s Best Friend
Ah unemployment. The true catalyst for making universal health care necessary. I mean if those government jobs for building new transits and infrastructures work out, people will flock to those jobs if there is nothing else for them…sorry, its a fact. And if the main job supplier is the government, like it or not, the government will be the main supplier for…health care. So like the Cash for Clunkers, and even the bank bailouts, its all clear now. Their decision is NOT based on your investment, its based on how the government foresees its spending in the next 20-30 years. And if your in need of their support, you ain’t got a word to say about it…period. And if they have to pay, trust, they will want to make the rules in their favor, meaning, we’re destined for universal health care no matter what.
