In 2012 Gerry Maxey Said: "FACEBOOK is Nothing; Water is Everything"; in 2022, FACEBOOK to Lay Off; Mississippi River Drying Up

On May 20, 2012, this Blogger published:  The FACEBOOK IPO Is Nothing, The  Water Is Everything.  

The following is excerpted from that Blog: “This week two seemingly unrelated events, but in reality, VERY related events occurred. One was the FACEBOOK IPO …the other was the City of Phoenix, Arizona, going to the Navajo Nation, begging for WATER.  

In retrospect, these two overlapping events will mark the transition out of one era, into beginning of a new era.  

The old FACEBOOK era in which everyone lived ethereal lives dependent on how many internet friends one amassed has no future…. The Age of FACEBOOK will soon be over….GERALD MAXEY."

Ten years later FACEBOOK, aka META is floundering, which is sad for investors and employees; meanwhile the mighty Mississippi River, the Ol Man River,  is LITERALLY drying up. That is catastrophic. 

The Age of FACEBOOK is truly over, but alas, in this new Age, the mighty Mississippi does not keep rolling along. 

Why is the Mississippi drying up?  Try this explanation. America has too many people draining  its resources, and Joe Biden wants to bring more people in, from every nation on earth- to drink from it, to bathe with its waters, to use its water to flush their waste, and wash their clothes.  

 Biden’s Climate Change policy of Mass Migration is making the Mississippi an old man’s puddle. 

FACEBOOK, aka META, had a peak stock price of $321.17. 

“Meta Platforms Inc. to begin large-scale layoffs this week, according to people familiar with the matter, in what could be the largest round in a recent spate of tech job cuts after the industry’s rapid growth during the pandemic. 

 

The layoffs are expected to affect many thousands of employees and an announcement is planned to come as soon as Wednesday, according to the people. Meta reported more than 87,000 employees at the end of September. Company officials already told employees to cancel nonessential travel beginning this week, the people said. 

The planned layoffs would be the first broad head-count reductions to occur in the company’s 18-year history. While smaller on a percentage basis than the cuts at Twitter Inc. this past week, which hit about half of that company’s staff, the number of Meta employees expected to lose their jobs could be the largest to date at a major technology corporation in a year that has seen a tech-industry retrenchment. 

Shares of Meta rose 3.4% to $93.85 in trading Monday morning….WALL STREET JOURNAL.” 

FACEBOOK is nothing; WATER is everything. 

“Ol' man river
That ol' man river
he must know something
But he don't say nothing 

Cause he just keeps rolling
He keeps rolling along
He don't plant tators
He don't plant cotton
Them that plants 'em is soon forgotten
But ol' man river
Just keeps rolling along…..Kern/Hammerstein.” 

This Blogger has crossed the Mississippi river by boat, and bridge; he has gone down the Mississippi, in a fit of Mark Twain envy. 

Now, thanks to the population pressure coming from Biden’s encouragement of Mass Migration, the ol man river will be no more. 

“The river known for its vast reach and powerful currents has withered to levels not seen in decades, choking shipping lanes and endangering drinking water supplies. …..The river has long commanded a sober respect, if not fear, with its swift currents and capacity to not only sustain the communities that have sprouted beside it for centuries, but also devastate them by swelling over its banks. But lately it has provoked a different sort of apprehension….. — the water level in some places has fallen below records set more than 30 years ago. The conditions have hamstrung one of the nation’s busiest and most vital waterways and jeopardized drinking water systems.  

….The river is called mighty for a reason. Its main stem stretches some 2,350 miles from headwaters in Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, touching 10 states and then branching out into a web of tributaries. Its watershed covers 40 percent of the continental United States. 

.....The river’s tremendous reach — linking soybean farms, chemical plants and food factories — has made it a crucial shipping lane for roughly 500 million tons of cargo each year, including a large portion of the world’s food supply. The dwindling water levels have not only choked barge traffic but forced the vessels to significantly lighten their loads. The cost of barge shipping has surged.  

“It’s the most important working river, commodity wise, on the planet,” said Colin Wellenkamp, the executive director of the Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative, a collective of mayors from dozens of municipalities. “We’re going to feel this globally.”  

 

The drought has caused a particular crunch for farmers who look to the Mississippi as an efficient and usually reliable method for transporting their crops. But with the river bottlenecked, the agriculture industry is straining to find alternatives, like rail and trucks, which come with their own logistical challenges and can handle only a small fraction of what even a reduced barge load can carry. (It would take 16 rail cars or 62 semi trucks to transport the same amount as a single barge, industry officials said.) ……NEW YORK TIMES.” 

 

Joe Biden is incapable of contending with the power of water, floods or drought; he is locked into a paradigm that diversity, government spending, and calling opponents names will fix the problems of the 21^st Century.  

  

The most dangerous aspect of Joe Biden’s mental ossification is his belief in Open Borders. He cannot grasp a simple truth, more people mean more people drinking water.  

 

Joe Biden firmly believes America needs more people, to combat a labor shortage, a supposed labor shortage. He has allowed, by some estimates, over  6 million illegal aliens in the country during this fiscal year; which ended on  September 30, 2022.  

  

Joe Biden is clueless; he is incapable of understanding that it is better to have a lack of workers than a lack of water.  Joe Biden continues to support the  mass importation of illegal aliens; welcoming illegal immigration is unsustainable. There is not enough water.  

  

On January 31, 2013, this Blogger staked out his Anthropocene Immigration Policy when he published the following Blog:New Thinking on Immigration Reform: Base Reform On America’s Dwindling Supply of Fresh Water  

  

The following is excerpted from that Blog:  

  

“Contrary to what the CNN commentators say about 2013 Immigration Reform, it is not about the American economy; contrary to what the MSNBC literati  say, it is not about social justice....That is OLD thinking, Immigration Reform in 2013 is about something more basic than all those illusory reasons; it is about America’s dwindling natural resources, specifically, and most critically, fresh water. Immigration Reform in 2013 needs NEW thinking; any Reform has to be based on an acknowledgement that American natural resources cannot sustain a more liberal immigration policy. ….  

  

The future of American Immigration Policy is not about the economy…future American Immigration policy should be based on America’s dwindling natural resources. America does not have enough fresh water to maintain a liberal immigration policy….   

  

The Immigration Reform Policy of Liberals is amnesty; that policy is philosophically equal to encouraging Polynesians to come live and work in the Beautiful Sahara, and then offering  them  amnesty as they die of thirst.  

  

It makes no sense to have an Open Immigration Policy when the nation is RUNNING OUT OF WATER.  

  

This Blog has described this absurd Liberal Immigration Policy as the Anthroprocene Oxymoron……THE MAXEY CHRONICLES.”  

  

On January 24,2014, this Blogger followed up his position by publishing this Blog: Mother Nature Seizes Control of America's Immigration Policy from Millennials.  

  

The following is excerpted from that Blog: “Millennials can invent FACEBOOK, TWITTER, and YOUTUBE; they can self-produce videos and selfies; they can create a religion centered on vampires and zombies but they cannot invent rain; nor can they conjure up drinking water. For all their EMPOWERMENT, Millennials are and will be subject to the Power of Mother Nature over their lives…..  

  

…It will be Mother Nature who will be the ultimate decider of America’s Immigration policy; and the ultimate decider, Mother Nature will not allow the Millennials  a feel-good, Open Immigration Policy of Amnesty for Illegal Aliens….. the Liberal Immigration Policy is not on the side of Mother  Nature; therefore it is doomed, to die of thirsty good intentions…..  

  

Immigration Reform is not about partisanship, nor politics, nor racism, nor the whims of Millennial Billionaires, nor the frenzy of Professional Latinos; it is about the foolishness of Liberals who want to bring people out of the shadows into the glaring sunlight …to wither and die from lack of water….THE MAXEY CHRONICLES.”  

  

On July 2, 2014, this Blogger published this Blog: The Liberal Anthropocene Oxymoron Flounders America- Drought…..  

  

The following is excerpted from that Blog:  

  

“…There is not enough water for the legal Americans currently in America, let alone illegal aliens.  However, Liberals are clueless to that scientific fact. Liberals are the biggest Luddites in captivity, for they dismiss immutable scientific facts which don’t fit their Liberal Madness.  

  

….….Liberals believe, as Hillary Clinton stated, that if America grows the economy America can absorb 12 million illegal aliens. Perhaps we can grow the economy; but we cannot grow the water supply. Water is finite; which is why it is called the Don Divino; water is divine and God is not creating more water.  

  

The madness of the Liberal Response to the upcoming chronic shortage of resources in the Anthropocene is to grow the economy, immigrant entrepreneurship. Alas, unless the economy is founded on alchemy, there is no growing an economy where there is no water. The IPOs of Silicon Valley do not matter if the population is dying of thirst, or famine. To a thirsty man, one sip of water is worth a million FACEBOOK LIKES.  

  

….Liberals …… advocate accelerating the depletion of the nation’s resources by granting amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens, the Liberal Madness…..  

  

Bringing in more people during a famine is a bad idea, unless you intend to cannibalize the new people for food. Bringing in new people during a drought is a bad idea, unless you intend to drink the sweat and the blood of the new people, a society of vampires.  

  

The pathological delusions at the foundation of Liberal Madness is that Liberalism is always on the right side of history, and that Liberalism is always the correct steward of the future. ..THE MAXEY CHRONICLES”.

The Mississippi River is the main artery and vein of the nation; it joins the great Western river, the Colorado, in drying up.

"As the Colorado River provides less and less water, the 40 million people who depend on it must grow accustomed to living with less. Experts anticipate this will mean higher electric rates, more expensive groceries, cuts to the agricultural industry and less tourism, among other things....denver post."

Yet, as these great rivers dry up, Joe Biden wants to bring in more people through open borders. Will any Liberal politician or entertainer or  singer or late night television host, or pundit or academician or comic, actor, or newspaper columnist or intellectual EVER understand; it is about the WATER?  THE DON DIVINO.  And if they do, will they do so before it is too late?
