Someone once said Don't kill the messenger

Someone once said to not kill the messenger, there also is the thought set that says don't just read the blog , get to know the person writing it.

True I might have, and I do say might, have been a bit wrong and prejudged the entire town of Mountain Home just because of a few in Mountain Home that I ran across investigating the concept of planting the seed of the Knytes-of-Anarchy's media werx(mis-spelled on purpose). But as I rolled down one of the main streets there I saw many business's boarded up that could be, something good, if only those leasing those structures would lower the rent rate a considerable amount, rather than jacking the price way over that of the small business person.

I hate to remind many that even though we have a new guy in the White House and all our nation is in a small depression, not recession. The only way jobs are going to be created and economy stimulated is by those renting property etc rents it at a rate that someone creating those jobs and stimulating the economy can afford.

So many squabble about those getting Social Security and other public aid to get off that aid and get a job or create a better income. But when your paying big money for a place to live putting a noose around the neck of someone that is trying to get off SSA and such as well as hammer them over the head saying they are nuts, rather than saying here I'm tossing the dog a bone, should just shut up. Don't just say you ought, say here is a rope and I'll help you out.

Pass the favor forward, by creating something that would get others to say , hey this is not a bad place, people here care, maybe I ought to move in my big factory or company there because this town is friendly.

Those beyond the shores of Mountain Home and Elmore County along with Idaho look at these blogs and think, my if they hammer this guy(meaning me) imagine if I went there, no thank you.

It might be 140 mile round trip to Boise to do this media thing for the Knytes-of-Anarchy, but hey I'll drive it if it means being where the focus and attitude is much more open to new ideas.

Next blog, Shorty's.

Ayrewolf: welcome to econ-101. A recession is defined as 2 consecutive quarters (6 months) of negative or shrinking Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and a depression is more severe, measured by a decrease in GDP of more than 10% and lasting longer than 6 months. In third quarter of 2008 there was measurable growth (not shrinkage) in the GDP although this growth was less than expected, and was measurably less than the third quarter of 2007. By definitions we cannot be in a recession yet, but we may find by the end of 4th quarter that we are in a depression (10% negative growth, if that happens) before we can officially declare a recession. The soonest we could say we are in recession is after GDP is announced at the end of first quarter 2009. (about mid-April)

You sir are in the right business though, because in tough economic times, people go longer without servicing their vehicles and the likelihood of them needing a recovery vehicle increases. You of all should welcome the coming economic woes.
