We do not like People

Who are "we" here?

This might be many people, but for me, it was my fellow-Americans. Not a good situation to be in, and one with many ramifications.

The most important one being a total unawareness of who we were. This information was so bad, it was not available to us.

Now that we are so obsessed with getting more data, we stubbornly overlook this one important fact.
That we are not good for people - that we are not good for our selves, as people. We like our possessions. but not ourselves.

Or, to put it in a slightly different way "What happened to the small businessman, that used to be the backbone of America?" The answer is clear: he (or she) is no longer, and is not missed. 

Detroit is full of empty factories that no one wants. As is my hometown of Ft. Madison, Iowa. All those jobs are gone forever!

But the unemployment figures are not too bad, you may say. New jobs must have been created somewhere.

Where are they, and what are they like? The news here is not so good. Economic stratification has made the rich richer, and the poor poorer. The Middle Class is withering away.

Americans have responded by electing Trump. Whom they think will save them!
