Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry

The industry that is in Mobile, Louisiana, or Florida in September for the hurricanes and in the Midwest in the spring for the tornados. They're not even around long enough to give a fuck about anybody, if another hurricane hit a few weeks later in the Bahamas, they'd already be in the Bahamas with a new story, a new group of people they care so much about, and a new fundraising and rescue effort underway.

The grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry is not on your side, they are not your friend. They are just the people that control your supply chain (they have all the power) if you end up fucked. They are the same people that control the weapons, military, government, industry, and first responders.

Middle East Tragedy

Russia, China, the U.S, Japan, France, Spain, and the U.K are discussing Syria and their chemical weapons. Right now ever since the latest memorial of 9-11, there has been tragedy with the muslims in the middle east and countries in south western Russia such as Turkey and Kazakhstan. Libya and Al-Qaeda received a signal to move into Syria and Egypt to surround Israel. It is unknown to all of us of which country sent the signal. But Afghanistan is currently scared now and leaves the war with a frightened attitude and begs the U.S to end the war. Russia believes that China can come up with ideas. To this day, there is war in Iraq. Madness and tragedy strikes the middle east with threats, frights, and various other things. Will this madness ever end?

grief tragedy sympathy hope industry

An industry that loves to tell people who their heroes are/should be.

Thanks to the grief tragedy sympathy hope industry, the aviation museum that always had a name good enough for the residents of the city that went there had to change it's name to honor a guy they were told was their hero, rather than anybody asking them who their personal heroes were. Perhaps their personal heroes were a family member or someone from closer to home than Texas, but since nobody asked them, they were forced to adopt a guy they were told was their hero as their personal hero, without any room for anyone else (since many of them thought the name of the museum was good enough as it was, without being forced to change, and it was going to get changed to a preselected name chosen by the "new guard" instead of by the residents).
