"Just want to report on the growing economic situation here in the Seattle Area.

    The past twenty years has brought terrible change to the region. Massive over-population, gridlock traffic, and, worst, every idiot who actually thinks more laws, cops, guards, and jails are the answers to a carefree life. Of course you have to keep that job at Micro-soft or some other method of gaining six figures of income, otherwise you could end up with a first hand sample of the police state these people have allowed our criminal leaders to construct. I can say this because I'm in my 50's and have been involved in law enforcement and security for over 30 years and I am horrified at what has become of our nation and it's values of greed and the surrender of liberty for security. Just horrified, but with that said, on to the employment situation.

    Employment opportunities are excellent in my field of work; Armed Guard, but then that's true in most metro area's if your connected.

    Just turned a gig the other night in Seattle for $25 per hour as simple nightclub security. That was un-armed of course. Armed Guards cost a lot more, and the cost depends on the needs and relative danger/profile of the client or cargo and your personal connections and job skills.

    Speaking of "Criminal Leaders and Police States," I'm looking forward to the meltdown. Unlike the vast majority who have an absurd notion that these martial law measures will somehow safeguard them, myself and my associates are fully aware of the future enslavement of in-debt ed persons. The absorption of the Banking Institutions through the obfuscation of the Public Bail-out is, in reality, the consolidation of the monetary grip over the people by the fed. In either event, it would be good to understand that a debt to an absorbed institution is, in effect, a debt to the people of the U.S. Draw your own conclusions about the chance of defaulting on that debt while continuing to live in the United States. Can't pay your loan? No job? Too bad sucker, you have to work that off. That's a debt to the "People!" We have to get you a job at a government camp so you can repay your debt! Does this sound familiar? How about this one; You can't leave the country even with a passport if you have too much debt or suspicion of perhaps never returning. Yea, seems like the demand for my kind by the slave masters keeps increasing daily. Go ahead, charge that new whatever. Job security for me. Its going to be nice to be on the other side of that FEMA Camp with a machine gun in my hand. And yes they do exist. Go to the gsa elibrary and look up the armed guard contractors to get an idea how many companies are involved in the private interior army of the feds.

    I'd also like to point out to any readers that observations of rail cars is important in that the type of car carriers on the rails also make excellent cages, and these are readily observable from time to time in main rail yards: Interestingly located, these train yards are the natural means of mass transport for undesirables. Got Debt? Got Guns? How about Bullets?

    Well, other than my line of work your in for long search for a job that will pay any thing at all. Don't come to Seattle looking for work economic refugees! It isn't any better here and could be worse. I'd like to leave and go remote if I could. Better to get a crappy job or two in a more remote area if possible and get some food seeds and guns and bullets; obviously.
