I was all set to get her the GMC Terrain . Dad who admittedly is a bunch smarter than me said "son with all the investing you do you probably own part off that company and many more like it, so put your money where your mouth is or shut up". Not directed at anyone ,its just reminded me is all.

John, the saying is "out of the mouths of babes".... but sometimes we have to listen to what comes out of the mouths of seniors also. Your dad hit the nail right on the head. It really is a global economy now. That's not to say that America is not still the foundation of exceptionalism,... it is. But only a blind person can not see the way the world is changing. Do I like it? Hell no. But it's like a hurricane heading for you. You don't like that also, but there's really nothing to do about it except to acknowledge the threat, make preparations for it, try to get out of it's way and then deal with the aftermath as best as possible. Nightly red sky's brother.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
