The only liberty an inferior man really cherishes
is the liberty to quit work, stretch out in the sun, and scratch himself.

September is National Preparedness Month
The Ready
Campaign established four universal building blocks of emergency preparedness:
Be informed, Make a Plan, Build a Kit, and Get Involved. America’s
PrepareAthon! builds on this foundation by encouraging millions of Americans to
focus on a simple, specific activity that will increase preparedness.
America’s
PrepareAthon! a new national community-based campaign for action that focuses
on increasing emergency preparedness through hazard-specific drills, group
discussions and exercises. National PrepareAthon! Days are held every spring

ask you, your family, community and workplace to take action by planning a National
PrepareAthon! Day on or around September 30th. We recommend using digital
media tools as a way to promote National Preparedness Month, September 1st-30th
Why I Save Different Things
Most organize-your-home experts say, "If in doubt, throw it out!" To reduce clutter, they suggest that you rid your home of all excess. I beg to differ. I've saved money keeping extra items. Often, it's cheaper and more practical to re-use items than to buy replacements.

According to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics the Labor Participation Rate currently stands at 62.9%, the
lowest it’s been since 1978. “That was 36 years ago. So, although

Pessimism on Economy Has
Grown Since Recession
Americans
are more anxious about the economy now than they were right after the Great
Recession ended despite stock market gains, falling unemployment and growth
moving closer to full health.
Seventy-one
percent of Americans say they think the recession exerted a permanent drag on
the economy, according to a survey being released Thursday by Rutgers
University. By contrast, in November 2009, five months after the recession
officially ended, the Rutgers researchers found that only 49 percent thought
the downturn would have lasting damage.
Unions,
which traditionally back the President, were up in arms over the Affordable
Care Act, saying the law was turning the U.S. into a nation of part time
workers. In fact, there has been major growth in the number of part-time
and temporary jobs since the recession.
In a recent Washington Post article,
the paper quoted Carrie Gleason, director of the Fair Work Week Initiative, who
said: “What we’re seeing is a growing trend of low-quality part-time
jobs. It’s creating this massive unproductive workforce that is unable to
productively engage in their lives or in the economy.”
