Virginia disses U.S. workers in favor of migrants from Korea!

In January 2023, a Korean food tech company called Armored Fresh announced it was expanding its non-dairy cheese production operation in Fairfax County.

The County of Fairfax, in Virginia, is spending taxpayer funding to intentionally attract migrant workers from Republic of Korea (RoK, aka South Korea).  Fairfax County also boasts that it is already home to 60 Korean operations, and has maintained a recruiting office in Seoul since 2004!  The Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA) also admits that its purpose is to convince foreign businesses and workers to settle in the U.S.!

In fact, the Fairfax County Department of Economic Initiatives spends tax dollars assisting foreign workers with things like training, healthcare, family counseling, and immigration/naturalization services!

In January 2018, The Korean Times even published an article telling Koreans to “Build your business among family and friends in Fairfax County”!  The article states that “the 2010 U.S. Census shows that Fairfax County is home to more than 60 percent of all Koreans living in the Commonwealth of Virginia.” The article was actually written by Gerald L. Gordon, who at that time was the President of the FCEDA, in other words it was actually an advertisement presented as a news article.

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership boast that Virginia has more than 66-thousand Korean business managers/workers.  Realize that five other U.S. states have higher numbers of Korean workers, than Virginia.

U.S. Hi-Tech Fail: Was Pandemic hiring & Remote Work just a Scam, are current layoffs about offshoring jobs?

National Bureau of Economic Research blames remote work for “…over one-half of the 23.8% national house price increase over this period. Using variation in remote work exposure across U.S. metropolitan areas, we estimate that an additional percentage point of remote work causes a 0.93% increase in house prices after controlling for negative spillovers from migration.”

U.S. Hunger Games: ‘Woke’ U.S. Air Force creates Mobile Food Pantry for its Airmen!

Image

30 March 2023 (09:52-UTC-07 Tango 06) 10 Farvardin 1402/08 Ramadan 1444/09 Yi-Mao(2nd month) 4721/30 марта 2023 года

When I first enlisted in the U.S. military, in 1982, I got a whoping $6-hundred per month as an E1!  Today, in 2023, the Defense Financing and Accounting Service reports that an E1 gets paid $1-thousand-917 per month!  And don’t forget the extra pay; basic allowance for subsistence (BAS, aka food), clothing allowance, aviation incentive pay, submarine duty, dive duty, foreign language, hardship duty, hazardous duty, imminent danger pay, exemption from FICA taxes if on active duty for more than 30 days, health professions bonuses, muster duty allowance, ROTC allowance, exempt from paying taxes while in a combat zone!

Did you notice the BAS (food)?  That is correct, the Department of Defense already pays military personnel extra for food (where food is not available on-base, or when living off-base), the BAS rate for enlisted personnel is $452 per month.  But wait, there is more, they have a BAS-2 rate, which is now at $905 per month!  When I got married in the mid-1980s, the most I got from the BAS was $2-hundred, and no USAF supplied food pantries then!

Amazingly, even with extra pay specifically for food, the Department of Defense claims that 24% of active-duty military personnel are food insecure, wow!!!

U.S. Air Force photo, Hurlburt Air Force Base, Florida, 24FEB2023.

So why then has the U.S. Air Force begun its first ever mobile food pantry truck service specifically for its own Airmen?  Hurlburt Field Air Force Base, in sunny Florida, began its Hurlburt Field Mobile Food Pantry service in February 2023.

The USAF is using a food truck operated by an organization called Feeding the Gulf Coast (part of the covert military operation known as Feeding America), volunteers with the Hurlburt Field Mobile Food Pantry say they handed out 5-thousand pounds of food last month.  And apparently it is a once per month event, every fourth Friday of every month, unless it is a holiday.  All Airmen and their families, regardless of rank, will not be turned away: “We’ll put the food in their car, and they can go about their merry way.”-Mauli Patel, volunteer

U.S. Air Force photo, Hurlburt Air Force Base, Florida, 24FEB2023.

The Hurlburt Field Mobile Food Pantry is in addition to the regular brick-n-mortar (in the base chapel) food pantry operations on the base.

Is this proof the United States is in much worse economic shape than officials are admitting to, or, are ‘woke’ military personnel just fat and spoiled?

Years ago, I pointed out that China was not the only financial threat to the United States, fellow NATO Members, and the Commonwealth of Nations (formerly British empire), were right up there with China!

Things have changed since I wrote that article; China is no longer the number one holder of U.S. government debt, it is now Japan (quietly taking top spot just before The Pandemic madness, in 2019)!  But wait, if you put all the NATO members and all the British Commonwealth of Nations members together, as a group they literally own the United States, not Japan or China!

The NATO Members that hold a massive amount of U.S. government debt are: Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom and the tiny city-state of Luxembourg!  If we throw in who is a NATO Partner, there would be even more countries on this list, such as Australia and Japan, which are NATO Partners!

But wait, how many U.S. debt holding countries are also part of the British dominated Commonwealth of Nations?  At least seven: Australia, The Bahamas, Canada, India, Singapore, and of course The United Kingdom!

Notice that two countries are both NATO Members and Commonwealth of Nations members!

Destroy U.S. Dollar: Globalization is killing the U.S. Dollar, because the global use of USD is killing Banks/Economy?

Video

It is starting to look like the United States (U.S.) returning to ‘isolationism’ is a good thing, if that also includes the U.S. Dollar (USD).  Banks might not like the raising of U.S. interest rates, and it is part of the reason for collapse of the big banks, but for the working class within the U.S. in the long run it could result in the manufacturing industry returning hundreds of thousands of jobs to the U.S.  In other words, destroying the global use of the USD could restart the domestic economy of the U.S.

Al Jazeera: U.S. economic sanctions against Russia has actually caused other countries to accelerate the abandonment of the USD for global trade!

bdnews24: Former Bangladesh ambassador to China says the globalized economy needs alternatives to the USD.

KITCO News: Is inflation caused by the decline of the use of the USD globally (Global Monetary Reset)?  The rest of the World calls it De-dollarization.  Here is a hour long explanation;

Liberty Street Economics:  This article explains why a strong USD actually prevents global competition. It also reveals that the USD is currently far more powerful than the actual U.S. GDP, warning that the global use of a ‘weak’ USD is actually shooting the U.S. domestic economy in the foot!  It also predicts that raising domestic interest rates will strengthen the USD, killing global competition and driving U.S. owned industries to return production to the United States: “Once the dollar begins to strengthen, the subsequent dynamics imply a decline in global manufacturing due to dollar invoicing and the credit-intensive global value chain. Manufacturing activity, where credit-intensive global value chains are more pervasive, will tend to suffer more. The contraction in global (ex-U.S.) manufacturing will spill back to the U.S. manufacturing due to production linkages and a reduction in demand. This will also lead to a decline in commodity prices and world trade. As the U.S. economy is less exposed to global developments, the dollar will benefit in relative terms from a worldwide economic decline, reinforcing the circle.”
