I like sports, not all, but most, but WHY? does anyone think it is interesting or entertaining to watch a group of 20 year olds, who can play football, become millionaires. I wonder how much was spent in marketing and advertising, to make the public, THINK that it is interesting. Probably the same folks who decided that people should watch poker.
My guess is that the largest industry in this country, is the one that is geared to entertain the population. We only need four industries to keep us going.
Auto makers, food industry, entertainment and clothing.
Ford and Walmart take care of two of them. Entertainment includes: TV, sports, music, everything to occupy our idle time. Walmart does clothing so maybe that is all we need.
Just think, they have made the Super Bowl so large that some have suggested it should be a holiday. Now maybe in a few years, made the NFL Draft a holiday. Watching poker is still boring. The best job in the casino is the guy who signals the sleeping crowd when it is time to applaud.
A question? Why do handicapped parking people have such nice cars, and why are so many of them so much more capable of walking into the store than I am? I was in my car waiting for my wife who was getting a prescription filled at Walmart, and was in a good spot to watch quite a few "Handiccaped" parking spots. Cadillac's, Lincolns, two new trucks that were beautifull, a few nice new foreign cars that I could not identify, but all nice. And, none of the passengers in any of the vehicles needed any assistance of any kind getting into the store. One new Cadillac pulled right into the first handicapped space, looked like Mom and Dad, in their 40's was my guess, two young children, took the short walk from their car to the store. I looked, hanging on their mirror, a handicapped hanger.
