Greetings good citizen, I was intending to blast yet another 'failed' aspect of our cheating civilization and had an epihany...I too have slid down that slippery slope of pounding home the message, the WRONG message, the message of 'humanity is evil'.
It's a message that makes EVERY murder committed by police a 'good shoot'.
[Left to our imagination is the question of whether or not the police have formed a club and the price of admission/initiation is shooting a black male...]
Sure looks that way...but I digress.
Our dirty/biased media maintains the philosophy that if it bleeds it leads, and if it smells, it sells...so it is small wonder the ONLY news involving the average citizen WE get to see is BAD, painting a dark picture of an EXTREMELY TOLERANT AND FORGIVING SPECIES!
Being a steady consumer of corporate owned bullshittery, you generally maintain a 'bad opinion' of your fellow citizens, one they do little to dispel as they jostle for position, cutting you off every chance they get.
THIS is the 'competition' we all face in nature and it is natural not EVIL.
Nobody likes getting 'beat' to their objective but it's a fact of life...and it happens all the time which is why we don't 'lose it' when it happens for the umpteenth time, we simply bear down and try harder the next time.
But again I digress, my 'target' if you will is one of the aspects of A Simple Plan that might frighten those of you that have become accustomed to having Law Enforcement scrutinizing your every move, under A Simple Plan there won't be 'cops' per se.
The civilization set up under A Simple plan is 'self-policing'...because people [mature ones] know life is about cooperation, not confrontation.
Ever wonder why we, er, 'endure' so many different police agencies? Because Law Enforcement is more of a 'jobs program' than it is about ensuring compliance.
Which brings us to one of this morning's headlines from today's NY Times, Hillary is promising 'Mo, betta jobs!' to lift the poor from their wretched circumstances.
FULL STOP!
Wait a minute slim. Is she or The Donald trying to tell us that they can 'undo' DECADES of automation and off-shoring just by saying, "When I'm in charge of the government, I'll make more jobs, good jobs, that pay good too!"
How sad is it that the same people who swallow this tripe don't have a clue where FOOD comes from never mind jobs!
SO they certainly don't know why government exists in the first place.
Doesn't help that the popularity contest run by our school systems don't provide the kids with any insight into either the purpose or the rationale behind why a government is necessary to the smooth operation of a functioning civilization.
Again, A Simple Plan does away with 'popularity contests' for determining the 'faux' course of the nation.
Where are these jobs both candidates are promising going to come from?
While Republican's like to call themselves 'job creators', they have overseen the dismantling of this nation's manufacturing base that put tens of millions out of 'good paying jobs'.
Sadly, the only reason those jobs 'paid well' was due to the war footing we maintained after WWII ended.
Yup, the government can create work when there is none but the work isn't 'necessary'...nor does it improve anyone's circumstances.
Humans need surprisingly little to get by on...and our economy is always squeezing everything it can out of that lower limit. Ever notice the more you make, the worse your circumstances?
If I had a time machine and made what I made now AND could travel back to when I was a kid and invest, I'd be as rich if not richer than my birthday buddy, Warren Buffett.
And no, the point here is I made significantly less when I was young but it went A LOT further than money does today.
So how do we 'create jobs' for everyone that needs them AND pay everyone a 'living wage'?
We do the things that need doing but can't be done 'profitably' under capitalism.
The bridges in this nation along with most of the rest of our centuries old 'infrastructure' badly need replacing...and the rabid pace of inflation makes it impossible to replace even a fraction of what is rapidly becoming a public menace.
Worse, the highly skilled craftsman need to do the work no longer exist. We'd literally have to 're-invent the wheel' all over again!
[However, the good news is A Simple Plan operates under the 'apprenticeship' model where EVERYONE not already a master craftsman would be obliged to undergo 'on the job training' until they were certified.
So yes, good citizen, jobs for all is possible but not via a 'magic wand'...or worse, flapping of jaws and paying the self-serving to do a sloppy job then point to 'a lack of oversight' as the cause!
We, as a species, can't tolerate this 'exploitation' any longer.
Like alchoholism, I can't save us 'single-handedly', YOU have to want to save yourself/children from a fate worse than death.
Like cattle to slaughter, first you have to wake up to the fact you're already in the chute!
Today's food for thought is not A Simple Plan, where ALL will prosper because civilization doesn't need 'profit' to operate...or 'profit' is more than dollars and cents, it's the education, clean air and pure water that makes life wonderful and people are wonderful too if you stop trying to make them put both of their feet into ONE SHOE!
Consider if you will how I, ever the pragmaist, came to design a civilization that is 'self-policing'?
When was the last time you NEEDED a cop? [Short answer for most of us is NEVER...think about that one too.]
Thank you for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
PLEASE don't fall for the lies of lying politicians, they DON'T have Your/OUR best interests at heart.
Their 'masters' want what we don't, more of the same...
