Ever wonder what the horse and buggy business felt when the first cars hit the street and roads? What did people do who made carriages and harnesses, stabled the horses, and shoveled the aromatic streets? Cars cause a huge disruption in social and commercial cultures.

            We have been in a progressively disruptive period with social media and the destruction of brick and mortar retail sales. Now we are entering a time when electric vehicles will start to dominate the roads. It won’t require most of the people involved in bringing oil out of the ground to the fuel tank. Electric vehicles require about a tenth of the parts putting millions out of work who cast, ground and assemble the engine parts.

            The sales of vehicles are rapidly moving from the local dealership to sales done over the internet and delivered to the buyer or traded vehicle being picked up at sellers home. Several companies will now buy your house and sell it without traditional realtors and banks.

            The loss of facts and truth are crippling to a democracy. The “big lie” cannot live in a democracy that exists in a country where truth and fact exist. However, today the news media is owned by people who either want to maximize the profits by firing experienced reporters or by giving divisive and biased scripts to the “reporters.” Social media has taken control of many people’s minds and created a fantasy world where democracy doesn’t exist.

            Our internal and external enemies are winning due to the disruptive times.
