Why is there so much sadness in their hearts?

Divine Mother Message: Why is there so much sadness within your hearts?

Greetings, beloved children of the Earth, dear brothers and sisters, we greet you with great love, a love that is inside each one of us, it expands and covers them constantly, since at this time of life within the planet Land, you really need it. But our Love does not extend only around the Earth to cover its physical bodies and spiritual beings, but to the soul that gives them life and their hearts.

Oh beloved brethren, we know that their hearts are currently very sad and they do not know how they can rejoice. You are able to rejoice through festivals and different kinds of fun, however, that's just a superficial joy, purely superficial and even if you rejoice for a while, your hearts do not stop feeling sad.
But why is there so much sadness in their hearts?

Beloved brethren, now you are going through a decisive period of development and spiritual evolution. Many powerful energies that allow them to grow into a new, higher dimension of spiritual consciousness, which is present today around all of you in order to shake and awaken in the depths of your being the recognition of what they really are and their task within this world.

However, all this shakes and distorts in a certain way each of its old patterns, those old patterns that have been accumulating due to each one of the generations that have inhabited the planet Earth. These patterns are nothing more than minimalist and destructive schemes that prevent them from seeing their true spiritual identity, they are schemes of annihilation and degradation, which are rooted in their interior, in the memory of the cells that their bodies possess and even in the memory of the earth

These patterns usually explode in hundreds of pieces, which generates inside you multiple sensations of discouragement, sadness, fear and lack of understanding

These old patterns are capable of breaking, dissolving and generating chaos around the world, causing in certain cases, overly brutal reactions, which only generate more and more violence, since many of you do not have awareness and knowledge to know how to act those explosions that usually disrupt them completely.

Some people manage to adapt very easily to change anything, so that a change of this order is capable of completely transforming the consciousness of humanity, in fact it is difficult for them even if they are in serenity. It is as if the whirlwind of a tornado will manage to take over all of their minds moving towards a world driven by a rare and violent force, where there is an uncontrollable fear.

This is why they are sad and it is that the violence of these patterns is affecting them today in this earthly world

However, keep in mind that next year they will appreciate a greater sweetness within their lives. Actually, this year, its earthly time consists of a period necessary to achieve its purification, to make a great cleaning of everything that no longer must be within their lives, around or within you, that is to say, this year It was the period that was required to eliminate that ancient way that most of you had to see and perceive life, without actually understanding what your experience in this world assumes. So after this period, they have the opportunity to know themselves spiritually and to accept that they are small sparks that come from God, which is the sole creator, regardless of the religion that is prophesied.

It is also very important that they do not criticize any of the religions in particular, nor do they believe that the religion they profess is better or better than that of others. They must know that all the religions that exist in their world were created from scratch as a way of connecting with God and their feelings. As you know, life styles turn out to be completely different in Europe, Africa and Asia, so that religions obviously have adapted to each of the ways of life that exist in each country and today, each of them religions have something good; Each of them allows them to have a new and more understanding about Divine Life.

No religion has to be rejected or despised, but accepted and respected

Obviously some people want to show their religion for several reasons that are often not spiritual. They should know that all this will be reduced significantly, since it is not possible to reach the elevation of both humanity and Earth towards a new awareness if there are such differences between people.

Religions progressively "are losing space", because as time passes, more will understand that the true religion is the Love that is in the heart of each one of you, which is part of the depth of your being , which gives them life and allows them to have in their existence that Divine spark that God has given them in creating them.

Beloved brothers on Earth, they should still have a little patience, remember that everything will be better and calmer during the next year, which does not mean that nothing will happen with their development, but they will be a little less "agitated" that this year. Your vision for life is going to change significantly in a short time, so you will understand that it is essential that you unite, understand and respect each other, no matter what part of the world you come or what religion you profess.

The Earth will help you with this, since you will be speaking to them frequently

Receive the blessing and be at peace.

Events that will mark the month of October and that will transform human civilization

THIS MONTH OF OCTOBER WILL BE MOVED IN NOBODY. 

But perhaps the most important has to do with the US dollar, but let's just review the events that will mark the future of humanity in the following month.

But let us begin by mentioning that this 29th of September began, on the Jewish calendar, the day of Yom Kippur; that is, the day of forgiveness or the day of atonement. This day according to the Jewish faith, man, or society, undergoes a judgment that will determine his destiny the rest of the year.

On the other hand, this first of October Catalonia carries out a referendum, or at least that is the intention, to determine if they continue forming part of Spain or they become independent of her. 

This event will undoubtedly have important repercussions for the same Spain as for the rest of Europe; since there would be a precedent for other regions of Europe to seek their independence from their respective countries. 

Already the Spanish army has sent tanks to Catalonia to prevent the independentist referendum; that could get out of control and end up regrettably.

It has also transpired that whoever is behind these secessionist attempts is neither more nor less than the genocidal George Soros. This subject has been behind many other violent events around the planet, as was the case of Ukraine and its Maidan; Maidan that ended in the independence of Donetsk and Lugansk and, also, in the return of Crimea to the Russian federation. Let us pray that in Spain there will not be a similar case.

On October 2, it is assumed that the US Federal Reserve will initiate, or at least that is the stated intention, the decline of its balance sheet; that is, the sale of assets denominated in dollars, assets that are nothing more than US Treasury bonds, bonds that were bought from the federal government in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. With this transaction, the government made a very large sum of cash; money he used to save Wall Street and its network of parasitic banks from the US economy, but not to save the average citizen, the ordinary citizen.

This, the reduction of the balance sheet, in simple terms is nothing other than the withdrawal of cash circulation (dollars) from the US and world economy. The Federal Reserve plans to withdraw 10 trillion dollars of circulation monthly.

This action of the Fed will have serious repercussions in the global economy, because it will cause a great flow of capitals towards the USA. This will in turn cause countries like Mexico and, in general, the so-called emerging economies, to suffer capital flight, that is, dollars, which will cause the devaluation of their currencies. No doubt the countries will seek to avoid the devaluation of their currencies by selling large amounts of dollars from their international reserves, but that could be a double-edged sword, for if they run out of dollars they will not be able to buy raw materials, oil, or anything else need. It will also be impossible for them to fulfill their international obligations to the IMF or the World Bank, since they will not have dollars to pay the interest on the debt contracted with them.

But here is where another important news comes on the scene and that will undoubtedly be the protagonist in this month of October. 

While it is true that currently the main reserve currency, and with which international payments are made, is the Dollar, that is about to change radically with the entry of the Petro-Yuan or Yuan-gold: This new currency is replacing the US dollar and thus liberating all countries of the world from the slavery of the old imperialist dollar system.

So, if countries decide to sell large quantities of dollars to prevent a sharp devaluation of their respective currencies, the reality is that they will no longer need those dollars to supply the raw materials needed for their economy, or to buy oil, gas or any other good they need. Nor will they have the need to sell their products in dollars, so that the demand for the US currency will decline dramatically.

That is the real news this October, and not what the Fed does or stop doing, because that really does not matter anymore. 

In any case, if the FED really decides to reduce its balance sheet, which I personally doubt it, rather than doing a bad thing to the other countries I think it will do them a good thing, and with that it will accelerate the fall of the dollar. 

Let us not forget that the announcement of the Fed was made days before the BRICS announced the launch of Petro-Yuan for this October 18; so they had not considered in their calculations the new international financial reality.

In addition, by selling the FED the US Treasury bonds that debt will become the property of multiple entities scattered around the planet, meaning those who buy those bonds will now be the new creditors of the US government. Therefore, the government will no longer deal with a single subject, if not with many. 

But perhaps that is the true intent of the Fed: getting rid of those dollar-denominated bonds before the US currency crashes and is worthless and avoid greater losses, because the losers would be others and not them. Let us not forget that the Fed is a private non-state bank, that is, it is not public; and how he does not want to lose even if his actions lose US citizens.

There is a lot of talk about this "dollar vacuum" that will make the Fed work and its negative effects in many countries, but no one has included in its calculations the new reality after the presentation of the Yuan-gold; this no doubt radically changes the conditions and their results, for the dollar is no longer the only world reserve currency with which to pay in international trade: the Yuan has ended its monopoly and will most likely end it as well.

So, if the FED really puts the dollar vacuum cleaner to work, most likely with that action will accelerate the fall of the Dollar, because countries that are in need of selling dollars will replace them with Yuan, which will in turn cause the rapid devaluation of the dollar. 

Other very significant events that take place this month of October is the five hundredth anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. 

October 31, 2017 marks 500 years of religious reform led by the Augustinian friar, Martin Luther, who gives rise to Lutheranism. On October 31, 2016, Pope Francis was present at the cathedral of Lund, Sweden, in the event that began the Year of Luther which opens the commemorative festivities of the Protestant Reformation.

On that day, the Pope and the president of the Lutheran World Federation, Munib Younan, signed a joint statement rejecting all kinds of violence in the name of God and religion. The Second Vatican Council gave a great impulse to ecumenism, which intentionally stopped Pope John Paul II. Francisco, the present Jesuit pope, has resumed the route traced by the council. 

In June last year the pope told La Civiltà Cattolica that "Luther was a reformer and perhaps some of his methods were not correct, but if we read the story, we see that the Church was not a model to imitate, there were corruption, worldliness, attachment to wealth and power. "

Likewise, on Friday, October 13, one hundred years after the last appearance of the "virgin" of Fatima, and as you all know, the "revelations" of the virgin are apocalyptic. 

There are those who speak of a solar "miracle" during the course of these apparitions, but the reality is that this was an optical illusion or, in any case, an extraterrestrial phenomenon, that is, a phenomenon produced by intelligences outside this world or intelligences interdimensional. 

If we look closely at the description given by the witnesses of the apparitions we find that their appearance more like the virgin Mary has more resemblance to what is commonly known as the "grays." Also about the miracle of the "two suns", that is impossible, because no other sun can appear as well as from nothing; in fact this was not another sun, it was something else that seemed to be another sun. 

Although I want to clarify that I am not very fan of the extraterrestrial phenomenon, rather I think that it was work of spiritual beings more than of extraterrestrial beings; but for the most religious it is a proof of the divine presence; others will say it was the work of demons. Let everyone draw their conclusions.

Also on October 13, 710 years have passed since the dissolution of the Temple order. We all know that this was nothing more than a struggle between powers within the Catholic hierarchy and an attempt by Rome to keep all the possessions and money of the order. Let us not forget that the Templars were very rich because they functioned as the bankers of the Vatican and, as well as the army that protected the Christians in their trips to Palestine in exchange for a "modest" sum of money.

Eye: The Templars of yesterday are the illuminatis of now.

Also on 25 October, the 100th anniversary of the triumph of the Bolshevik revolution is completed; a revolution that ended the monarchy of the Tsars in Russia and transformed the Europe of that time. Nor should we forget that according to Vladimir Putin, 85% of the leaders of that revolution were Jews.

Summarizing; no doubt this month of October will represent a turning point in modern human history.

Eventos que marcarán el mes de octubre y que transformarán a la civilización humana

ESTE MES DE OCTUBRE SIN DUDA SERÁ MUY MOVIDO EN CUANTO A NOTICIAS

Pero quizá la más importante tiene que ver con el dólar americano, pero sin más repasemos los eventos que marcarán el futuro de la humanidad en el siguiente mes.

Pero empecemos mencionando que este 29 de septiembre comenzó, en el calendario judío, el día de Yom Kipur; es decir, el día del perdón o día de la expiación. Este día según la fe judía, el hombre, o la sociedad, se somete a un juicio que determinará su destino el resto del año.

Por otro lado, este primero de octubre Cataluña realiza un referéndum, o al menos esa es la intensión, para determinar si continúan formando parte de España o se independizan de ella.

Este evento sin duda tendrá repercusiones importantes para la misma España como para el resto de Europa; pues habría un antecedente para que otras regiones de Europa buscaran su independencia de sus respectivos países.

Ya el ejército español ha enviado tanquetas a Cataluña para impedir el referéndum independentista; eso podría salirse de control y terminar de manera lamentable.

También ha trascendido que quien está detrás de estos intentos secesionistas es ni más ni menos que el genocida George Soros. Este sujeto ha estado detrás de muchos otros sucesos violentos alrededor del planeta, como fue el caso de Ucrania y su Maidan; Maidan que terminó en la independencia de Donetsk y Lugansk y, así mismo, en el regreso de Crimea a la federación rusa. Oremos por que en España no se dé un caso similar.

El día 2 de octubre se supone que la Reserva Federal de los EEUU iniciará, o al menos esa es la intensión declarada, la disminución de su hoja de balance; esto es, la venta de activos denominados en dólares, activos que no son otra cosa que bonos del tesoro estadounidense, bonos que compró del gobierno federal a raíz de la crisis financiera del 2008. Con esta transacción el gobierno se hizo de una muy importante suma de efectivo; dinero que utilizó para salvar a Wall Street y su red de bancos parásitos de la economía estadounidense, más no para salvar al ciudadano común, al de a pie.

Esto, la reducción de la hoja de balance, en términos simples no es otra cosa que el retiro de circulación de efectivo (dólares) de la economía estadounidense y mundial. La Reserva federal planea retirar mensualmente 10 billones de dólares de circulación.

Esta acción de la FED tendrá serias repercusiones en la economía global, pues provocará un gran flujo de capitales hacia los EEUU. Eso causará a su vez que países como México y, en general, las llamadas economías emergentes, sufran una fuga de capitales, es decir, de dólares, cosa que ocasionará la devaluación de sus monedas. Sin duda los países buscarán evitar la devaluación de sus monedas vendiendo grandes cantidades de dólares de sus reservas internacionales, pero eso podría ser una espada de doble filo, pues si se quedan sin dólares no podrán comprar materias primas, ni petróleo o cualquier otra cosa que necesiten. Así mismo les será imposible cumplir con sus obligaciones internacionales con el FMI o Banco Mundial, pues no tendrán dólares con que pagarles los intereses de la deuda contraída con ellos.

Pero aquí es donde entra en escena otra importante noticia y que sin duda será la protagonista en este mes de octubre.

Si bien es cierto que actualmente la principal moneda de reserva mundial, y con la que se hacen los pagos internacionales, es el Dólar, eso está a punto de cambiar radicalmente con la entrada en escena del Petro-Yuan o Yuan-oro: Esta nueva moneda viene a sustituir al dólar estadounidense y, con ello, a liberar a todos los países del mundo de la esclavitud del viejo sistema imperialista del Dólar.

Así que, si los países deciden vender grandes cantidades de dólares para así prevenir una brusca devaluación de sus respectivas monedas, la realidad es que ya no necesitarán esos dólares para proveerse de las materias primas necesarias para su economía, ni para comprar petróleo, gas o cualquier otro bien que necesiten.  Así mismo tampoco tendrán la necesidad de vender sus productos en dólares, con lo cual la demanda de la moneda estadounidense decaerá dramáticamente.

Esa es la verdadera noticia de este mes de octubre, y no lo que haga la FED o deje de hacer, pues eso en realidad ya no importa.

En todo caso, si realmente la FED decide reducir su hoja de balance, que yo personalmente lo dudo, más que hacerle un mal a los demás países creo les hará un bien, y con ello acelerará la caída del dólar.

No se nos olvide que el anuncio de la FED fue hecho días antes de que los BRICS anunciaran el lanzamiento del Petro-Yuan para este 18 de octubre; así que entonces no habían considerado en sus cálculos la nueva realidad financiera internacional.

Además, al vender la FED los bonos del tesoro estadounidense esa deuda pasará a ser propiedad de múltiples entes dispersos alrededor del planeta, es decir, los que compren esos bonos serán ahora los nuevos acreedores del gobierno estadounidense. Por lo tanto, el gobierno ya no lidiará con un solo sujeto, si no con muchos.

Pero tal vez esa es la verdadera intensión de la FED: deshacerse de esos bonos denominados en dólares antes de que la moneda estadounidense se desplome y no valga nada y así evitar mayores pérdidas, pues los perdedores serían otros y no ellos. No olvidemos que la FED es un banco privado NO estatal, es decir, no es público; y cómo tal no quiere perder aunque con sus acciones pierdan los ciudadanos estadounidenses.

Mucho se habla de esta “aspiradora de dólares” que pondrá a funcionar la FED y de sus efectos negativos en muchos países, pero nadie ha incluido en sus cálculos la nueva realidad tras la presentación del Yuan-oro; eso sin duda cambia radicalmente las condiciones y sus resultados, pues el dólar ya no es la única divisa de reserva mundial con la cual pagar en el comercio internacional: el Yuan ha terminado con su monopolio y muy probablemente va acabar con él también.

Así que, si la FED realmente pone a funcionar la aspiradora de dólares muy probablemente con esa acción acelerará la caída del Dólar, pues los países que se vean en la necesidad de vender dólares los sustituirán con Yuanes, lo que provocará a su vez la rápida devaluación del Dólar.

Otros eventos muy significativos que se cumplen este mes de octubre es el quinientos aniversario de la reforma protestante.

El 31 de octubre del 2017 se cumplen 500 años de la reforma religiosa encabezada por el fraile agustino, Martín Lutero, que da origen al luteranismo. El 31 de octubre del 2016, el papa Francisco estuvo presente en la catedral de Lund, Suecia, en el evento que dio inicio al Año de Lutero que abre los festejos conmemorativos de la Reforma Protestante.

Ese día, el papa y el presidente de la Federación Luterana Mundial, Munib Younan, firmaron una declaración conjunta en la que rechazan todo tipo de violencia en nombre de Dios y la religión. El Concilio Vaticano II dio un gran impulso al ecumenismo, que frenó, de manera intencional, el papa Juan Pablo II. Francisco, el actual papa jesuita, ha retomado la ruta trazada por el concilio.

En junio del año pasado, el papa dijo a La Civiltà Cattolica, que “Lutero fue un reformador y tal vez algunos de sus métodos no fueron los correctos, pero si leemos la historia, vemos que la Iglesia no era un modelo a imitar, había corrupción, mundanismo, apego a la riqueza y al poder”.

Así mismo, el viernes 13 de octubre se cumplen cien años de la última aparición de la "virgen" de Fátima, y como sabrán todos ustedes, las “revelaciones” de la virgen son de tono apocalíptico.

Hay quien habla de un “milagro” solar durante el transcurso de esas apariciones, pero la realidad es que aquello fue una ilusión óptica o, en todo caso, un fenómeno extraterrestre, es decir, un fenómeno producido por inteligencias fuera de este mundo o inteligencias inter-dimensionales.

Si revisamos con atención la descripción que dan los testigos de las apariciones comprobamos que su aspecto más que parecerse a la virgen María tiene más semejanza con lo que comúnmente se conoce como los “grises”. También acerca del milagro de los “dos soles”, eso es imposible, pues no puede aparecer otro sol así nomas como así de la nada; en realidad aquello no era otro sol, era otra cosa que aparentaba ser otro sol.

Aunque quiero aclarar que no soy muy fan del fenómeno extraterrestre, más bien creo que aquello fue obra de seres espirituales más que de seres extraterrestres; pero para los más religiosos eso es una prueba de la presencia divina; otros más dirán que fue obra de demonios. Que cada quien saque sus conclusiones.

También el 13 de octubre se cumplen 710 años desde la disolución de la orden del Temple. Todos sabemos que aquello no fue más que una pugna entre poderes dentro de la jerarquía católica y un intento de Roma por quedarse con todas las posesiones y dineros de la orden. No olvidemos que los templarios eran muy ricos pues fungían como los banqueros del Vaticano y, así mismo, como el ejército que protegía a los cristianos en sus viajes a Palestina a cambio de una “módica” suma de dinero.

Ojo: Los templarios de ayer son los illuminatis de ahora.

También el 25 de octubre se cumplen los cien años del triunfo de la revolución bolchevique; revolución que acabó con la monarquía de los zares en Rusia y transformó la Europa de entonces. Tampoco olvidemos que según Vladimir Putin el 85% de los líderes de aquella revolución eran judíos.

Resumiendo; sin duda este mes de octubre representará un punto de inflexión en la historia humana moderna

The US Economy Is Failing

The US Economy Is Failing — Paul Craig Roberts

September 29, 2017 

This is your website. Support it.

Paul Craig Roberts

Do the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page editors read their own newspaper?

The frontpage headline story for the Labor Day weekend was “Low Wage Growth Challenges Fed.” Despite an alleged 4.4% unemployment rate, which is full employment, there is no real growth in wages. The front page story pointed out correctly that an economy alleged to be expanding at full employment, but absent any wage growth or inflation, is “a puzzle that complicates Federal Reserve policy decisions.”

On the editorial page itself, under “letters to the editor,” Professor Tony Lima of California State University points out what I have stressed for years: “The labor-force participation rate remains at historic lows. Much of the decrease is in the 18-34 age group, while participation rates have increased for those 55 and older.” Professor Lima points out that more evidence that the American worker is not in good shape comes from the rising number of Americans who can only find part-time work, which leaves them with truncated incomes and no fringe benefits, such as healh care.

Positioned right next to this factual letter is the lead editorial written by someone who read neither the front page story or the professor’s letter. The lead editorial declares: “The biggest labor story this Labor Day is the trouble that employers are having finding workers across the country.” The Journal’s editorial page editors believe the solution to the alleged labor shortage is Senator Ron Johnson’s (R.Wis.) bill to permit the states to give 500,000 work visas to foreigners.

In my day as a Wall Street Journal editor and columnist, questions would have been asked that would have nixed the editorial. For example, how is there a labor shortage when there is no upward pressure on wages? In tight labor markets wages are bid up as employers compete for workers. For example, how is the labor market tight when the labor force participation rate is at historical lows. When jobs are available, the participation rate rises as people enter the work force to take the jobs.

I have reported on a number of occasions that according to Federal Reserve studies, more Americans in the 24-34 age group live at home with parents than independently, and that it is those 55 and older who are taking the part time jobs. Why is this? The answer is that part time jobs do not pay enough to support an independent existence, and the Federal Reserve’s decade long zero interest rate policy forces retirees to enter the work force as their retirement savings produce no income. It is not only the manufacturing jobs of the middle class blue collar workers that have been given to foreigners in order to cut labor costs and thus maximize payouts to executives and shareholders, but also tradable professional skill jobs such as software engineering, design, accounting, and IT—jobs that Americans expected to get in order to pay off their student loans.

The Wall Street Journal editorial asserts that the young are not in the work force because they are on drugs, or on disability, or because of their poor education. However, all over the country there are college graduates with good educations who cannot find jobs because the jobs have been offshored. To worsen the crisis, a Republican Senator from Wisconsin wants to bring in more foreigners on work permits to drive US wages down lower so that no American can survive on the wage, and the Wall Street Journal editorial page editors endorse this travesty!

The foreigners on work visas are paid one-third less than the going US wage. They live together in groups in cramped quarters. They have no employee rights. They are exploited in order to raise executive bonuses and shareholder capital gains. I have exposed this scheme at length in my book, The Failure of Laissez Faire Capitalism (Clarity Press, 2013).

When Trump said he was going to bring the jobs home, he resonated, but, of course, he will not be permitted to bring them home, any more than he has been permitted to normalize relations with Russia.

In America Government is not in the hands of its people. Government is in the hands of a ruling oligarchy. Oligarchic rule prevails regardless of electoral outcomes. The American people are entering a world of slavery more severe than anything that previously existed. Without jobs, dependent on their masters for trickle-down benefits that are always subject to being cut, and without voice or representation, Americans, except for the One Percent, are becoming the most enslaved people in history.

Americans carry on by accumulating debt and becoming debt slaves. Many can only make the minimum payment on their credit card and thus accumulate debt. The Federal Reserve’s policy has exploded the prices of financial assets. The result is that the bulk of the population lacks discretionary income, and those with financial assets are wealthy until values adjust to reality.

As an economist I cannot identify in history any economy whose affairs have been so badly managed and prospects so severely damaged as the economy of the United States of America. In the short/intermediate run policies that damage the prospects for the American work force benefit what is called the One Percent as jobs offshoring reduces corporate costs and financialization transfers remaining discretionary income in interest and fees to the financial sector. But as consumer discretionary incomes disappear and debt burdens rise, aggregate demand falters, and there is nothing left to drive the economy.

What we are witnessing in the United States is the first country to reverse the development process and to go backward by giving up industry, manufacturing, and tradable professional skill jobs. The labor force is becoming Third World with lowly paid domestic service jobs taking the place of high-productivity, high-value added jobs.

The initial response was to put wives and mothers into the work force, but now even many two-earner families experience stagnant or falling material living standards. New university graduates are faced with substantial debts without jobs capable of producing sufficient income to pay off the debts.

Now the US is on a course of travelling backward at a faster rate. Robots are to take over more and more jobs, displacing more people. Robots don’t buy houses, furniture, appliances, cars, clothes, food, entertainment, medical services, etc. Unless Robots pay payroll taxes, the financing for Social Security and Medicare will collapse. And it goes on down from there. Consumer spending simply dries up, so who purcheses the goods and services supplied by robots?

To find such important considerations absent in public debate suggests that the United States will continue on the country’s de-industrialization, de-manufacturing trajectory.
