Look at anyone under 40. They can't function without a cell phone stuck in their hand. Some young people can't even tell time...give them a watch and ask them what time it is, they are clueless, they have to use them handhelds. Digital. Many newspapers folded because they switched times of delivery. It used to be a kids job to deliver papers in the afternoon. You could come home read the paper and get ready to eat. Then some important people needed a paper under their arm while carrying their $3 cup of coffee around. If anyone wants to get rich open a coffee shop. Put in a couple varieties of good doughnuts and count the cash. Millions and Millions of dollars are spent by people buying coffee on the way to work. Instead of making it at home. People are just too entitled today. I have seen time and again people buy a soda, drink a little then throw the rest away because it got warm. Why not put it someplace to stay cold? It is Sad where our country is headed but whose fault is it?

Where is the paper being made?  The place where I work goes through tons of paper, as people seem to think they have to print out every email and all their stuff every day.  It's Georgia Pacific brand, says "Made in the U.S.A.", but I don't know where the mills are any more.  I think there are still some in Oregon.

I have a feeling many are in South America...the rain forest is being devastated. That will be a climate changer when that is gone. Hourly wages are probably pennies and no government control, vacations or health insurance. The CEO's of these companies are literally pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars. They say the rain forest will not grow back. At least we got fast food joints here.

whose fault is it?

I would say    Woodrow Wilson's.      No offense here, but seriously  we all know that things are out of whack.

Here is a video of Mike Maloney which explains our monetary system pretty good.   You don't have to agree with all this, but it doesn't hurt to watch it.
