Who will profit from Hurricane Sandy

Who will profit from Hurricane Sandy

Some see tragedy,some see building materials

Hi,Jim here.Its about 24 hours since the massive weather event,Hurricane Sandy,
began to move over the eastern United States.

Since then,high tide,and low tide have come and gone.In that short period of time
48 people lost their lives,an estimated 8 million people lost electric power,and a
estimated 10-20 billion dollars in damage has occured.This Hurricane was such
that we had no computer models to work with.It was estimated that it would have taken
a commercial airplane 3 hours to fly from east to west across the storm.This was weather
the likes of which we have never experienced before.

So now that the winds have died down,we are left with a massive mess to clean up.Electric
to restore,houses to repair,cars to remove,subways to clear,trees to remove.

Ok,now to the question of Who will profit from Hurricane Sandy?The way i see it,if
the damage estimate of this storm is 10-20 billion dollars,that means 10-20 billion dollars
worth of goods and services will be required to restore life to the way it was before.Now
because the goods will be in excess of the normal production rate,it will require lots of  new
jobs with overtime to catch up with the requirements to rebuild.We havn’t seen the
estimates yet on how many jobs this will create but one can only imagine it will be a lot.
People trying to get their lives on a new coarse from all of the economy problems now
have a chance to come back strong with a renewed attitude.Not only will familys be able
to make mortgage payments but there will be money to buy gifts at holiday times.With
more people buying gifts,more jobs are available.How many more people will we find in the
emergency room of their local hospital from food and alcohol related problems.Even
doctors and nurses will benefit from the hurricane.Since we will all be in a hurry with
the increased workload,people will be eating more fast food and risking there lives using
cell phones while driving.Hey,that gives the towing people,auto repair people and oh yea,
don’t forget the police and ambulance drivers.They will get a piece of the pie to.Is it
possible that there is a good side to a tragedy like this?
I for one would rather make my money from my home.Its safer,less stress,and gives
me way more time to read about all the tragedys going on in the world.Take a look at this!

Make money without leaving home

With all the pictures going around concerning Hurricane Sandy,you might wonder why i
show the one with a large hardwood tree laying across the roof of someones home?Well,
those hardwood trees are not as common as softwood trees.They are worth a lot of money
to the right person.In many cases an independant business man will come to a home,
remove the tree,and turn one mature hardwood tree into thousands of dollars by making
furniture,flooring,and yes firewood with the scraps.Yes,there is even a market for all the
downed trees.

What i am trying to point out in this blog is that this country has been able to turn natural
disasters,tragedy,and yes,wars,into cash gold mines.

Just where does all the money come from to start this rebuilding process.Well,I will note
that donations pour in during these times,tax deductable of course.The real money,the
bulk of the funds are supplied by our government,regardless of it being local or on a
national level.

One might ask,Where does the government get all the money to fund all of the
natural disasters,and for that matter all of the other projects that just seem to pop up?
Interestingly enough,the news shows the United States oweing 15 Trillion dollars
to someone.Who?Well,all the news i read says China owns 70% of US debt.How does
all of this fit.

So again i ask,Who will profit from Hurricane Sandy?

Until tomorrow,see ya,jim

PS If you havn’t seen the video about making a good living from wherever
you want,using only a smart phone or a laptop,here it is.

Sunday morning,coffee,computer,football pregame on talk radio

Hey,jim here,fall is in the air.The morning temps.are in the 20's,brrrrr.I have many landscape plants but none more spectacular then the two mature burning bush i have strategically planted in one of my yards so i can see it from a upstairs window.My son was given these two beauties and he just couldn't find a place where they fit in his landscape,so he offered them to me.I planted them two summers ago and this year they have given beauty beyond my expectations.The bright red leaves,glowing in the light of fall just pop and provide a eye catching view not offered by many other bushes.We are having what we call a Indian summer.Its fairly typical here in the great northwest.With cool,almost cold nights,and warm days,into the mid 70's,its a great time to be outside and take in all the beauty of this beautiful part of Washington state.
Its just after noon now and i am on my second cup of coffee.I have done my morning net surfing,i love that, and have settled into listening to Seattle Seahawks pregame and writing this blog.Life is good for me.Its not because i have tons of money,i don't.Its not because i have everything all sorted out in my head.I don't.It really boils down to attitude.Fortunately for me,I realized some years back that the biggest component in a good life is a healthy positive attitude.Like most people i have been in many adverse situations where the difference between crashing and burning and overcoming the seeming crisis was a healthy positive attitude and knowing that failure is not a option.It seems to me that as the years go on,its not any easier to keep a good attitude but it is easier to get there.When a crisis hits,i usually get a sinking feeling in my stomach first and then i quickly realize that this feeling is not gonna help me or especially the ones around me,so i quickly start counting my blessings,which i have many.Blessings as simple as my two burning bush plants,which were given to me.I have 4 outside cats,two of them well over 20 years old.I have had then since they were kittens and everytime i go outside they are right there to greet me.Dizzy,the oldest,he is 22,is everybody's friend and greets everyone that shows up.Casey,he is 21,is rarely seen by anyone except my closest friends,loves to be held and cuddled.Blessings,pure and simple.I have two grown sons that have given me 4 beautiful granddaughters,ranging in age from almost 2 to 13.Blessings.I have a fantastic g/f who makes my life so rich.She is the most engaged person i have ever met and she just brings joy to my whole being.When i think about these and many other blessings in my life,my attitude just picks right up.
As a child growing up,i was raised in a catholic environment which meant i was in church 6 days out of 7.That is just the way it was when i was young.It was a grind and ultimately,i stopped going to a catholic church and began a journey into the world of spirituality.As i side note,the single most difficult thing i have ever done in my entire life was leaving the catholic church,but it was the right thing to do for me.That is another blog for another time.I spent time in a number of churches,not really church hopping but honestly trying to grow spiritually.About 10 years ago i just faded away from church all together but continue to read daily,watch a lot of videos,and listen to a lot of audio, seeking the answers to my questions.
All of this brings me back to the subject line,Sunday morning coffee,computer,football pregame on talk radio.For me it is a very nice way to spend a fall sunday morning,enjoying all i am blessed with and always reflecting on what has gotten me to where i am in my life.
I continue to say,God is good,The lessons and example of Jesus is what i try to emulate,and i am so thankful to be alive in 2012.Its the greatest time so far and i believe its going to just keep gettin better.Life is good
see ya next time,,,jim
