What We Have Here Is A Failure To Communicate

The results of this past election proved once again that the Democrats had a golden opportunity to capitalize on the failings of the Trump Presidency but, fell short of a nation wide mandate. A mandate to seize the gauntlet of the progressive movement that Senator Sanders through down a little over four years ago. The opportunities were there from the very beginning even before this pandemic struck. In their failing to educate the public of the consequences of continued Congressional gridlock, conservatism, and what National Economic Reform’s Ten Articles of Confederation would do led to the results that are playing out today.. More Congressional gridlock, more conservatism and more suffering of millions of Americans are the direct consequences of the Democrats failure to communicate and educate the public. Educate the public that a progressive agenda is necessary to pull the United States out of this Pandemic, and restore this nations health and vitality.

It was the DNC’s intent in this election to only focus on the Trump Administration. They failed to grasp the urgency of the times. They also failed to communicate with the public about the dire conditions millions have been and still are facing even before the Pandemic. The billions of dollars funneled into campaign coffers should have been used to educate the voting public that creating a unified coalition would bring sweeping reforms that are so desperately needed. The reality of what transpired in a year and a half of political campaigning those billions of dollars only created more animosity and division polarizing one extreme over another.

One can remember back in 1992 Ross Perot used his own funds to go on national TV to educate the public on the dire ramifications of not addressing our national debt. That same approach should have been used during this election cycle. By using the medium of television to communicate and educate the public is the most effective way in communicating and educating the public. Had the Biden campaign and the DNC used their resources in this way the results we ae seeing today would have not created the potential for more gridlock in our government. The opportunity was there to educate the public of safety protocols during the siege of this pandemic and how National Economic Reform’s Ten Articles of Confederation provides the necessary progressive reforms that will propel the United States out of the abyss of debt and restore our economy. Restoring our economy so that every American will have the means and the availability of financial and economic security.

The failure of the Democratic party since 2016 has been recruiting a Presidential Candidate who many felt was questionable and more conservative signals that the results of today has not met with the desired results the Democratic party wanted. Then again? By not fully communicating and not educating the public on the merits of a unified progressive platform has left the United States transfixed in our greatest divides since the Civil War. This writers support of Senator Bernie Sanders is well documented. Since 2015 he has laid the groundwork for progressive reforms. He also has the foundations on which these reforms can deliver the goods as they say. But, what did the DNC do, they purposely went out of their way to engineer a candidate who was more in tune with the status-quo of the DNC. They failed to communicate to the public in educating all of us on the ways our lives would be better served with a progressive agenda that was the benchmark of Senators Sanders Presidential campaign and his Our Revolution movement. And this is way there is still really no progress in creating a less toxic environment in Washington and around the country.

The U.S. dollar has recently gained strong downside momentum as the BoJ intervened to stop the rally in USD/JPY. Weaker U.S. dollar is bullish for stocks as it increases profits of multinational companies and makes U.S. equities cheaper for foreign investors.

If S&P 500 manages to settle above 3730, it will head towards the next resistance level at 3760.

Which Men’s Underwear Is Best for Sport

Following the end of the Summer 2012 London Games we have become a nation full of renewed enthusiasm for sport and have started to dust off the gym back, air the trainers and splash out on some new trendy gear. As more people join gyms and sports clubs they may be interested to learn the importance of choosing the right underwear for sport.Men often over look the most important things in their sports locker such as their choice of sports underwear and this is probably because they are an item of clothing which doesn’t allow them to flash a sporty designer logo. Yet they are probably the most important piece of your sports attire you will purchase because a testicular trauma is probably going to be far more painful than anything else you might sustain from incorrect sports wear.High impact sports account for the most reports of testicular trauma and it is hardly surprising when you think about how much bouncing and jerking around they have to sustain during a game of rugby for instance or even running. Women appreciate the importance of supporting bouncy parts during sport and have been wearing sports bras for a long time. Yet, how many men still wear their regular undies to the gym, loose fitting boxers and baggy briefs that have very little support or sports benefits whatsoever.So what exactly are the important features we need to look for when considering what underwear we pull on for the gym? Here are some top tips of key features you should look for.Support is probably going to be the most important feature to look for when choosing suitable underwear for sport. Traditionally men’s underwear consists of a pouch at the front formed by two vertical seams either side of the pouch to provide shape. However, this type of construction offers little support or control. More supportive underwear often features a shaped pouch that incorporates a semi circular seam that passes under your ‘giggleberries’ to cup and support. These are by far the most supportive and having ensured you have chosen the correct size will be probably the comfiest design you will be able to find for sport.Fabric are an imported aspect and there are many types of natural and synthetic fabrics to choose from, which have developed a long way technically. Often the best type of fabric for sport is a cotton rich or a cotton modal fabric as these offer a soft, natural and breathable experience. This is important when it comes to allowing air to circulate and reach the skin as will as wicking moisture away from the body to minimize the potential for fungal rashes to occur or irritation. However, there are equally some very good synthetic microfibers available and ones that even offer anti bacterial properties to reduce the unwanted effects of body odor to develop.Finally, you will want to consider the overall construction and quality as you will be putting them through some enduring paces whilst at the gym. Many of the comfiest fabrics and underwear can be on the thin side or even incorporate perforated mesh material to make them cooler and more breathable, which is fantastic. However, all I would say is do not compromise on quality as this is one item of clothing that needs to standup to doing its job. Take a close look at the stitch and look for a quality finish. Double stitch seams and soft quality internal wash labels are a good indicator that the manufacturer has not cut corners, hence you should be able to expect the rest of the garment to be of good quality.
