Greetings good citizen, when it comes to relational dynamics [whose in charge vs who has the 'upper hand'] there appears to be a growing gulf that, when recognized, is labeled a 'misunderstanding'. This occurs whenever there is a failure of communication between those doing a thing and the people the action is allegedly being done 'for' [whether they want it or not.]
Not uncommon that the basis for this 'misunderstanding' is 'profit related'. The actor took the route that maximized their profitability rather than the one the customer specified.
No one is shocked to learn that the average 'opportunist' only thinks of one kind of profit, the dollars in their pocket, [dollars they intend to spend on themselves so those dollars need to be copious!] and not of the benefits the project/product itself will provide the user.
Here we encounter the letter of the contract to insure the buyer and the vendor agree that they are both getting what they want at the agreed price
But the letter of the contract leaves veritable gaping vistas of wiggle room between what can be interpreted as a specification. [Notice how your typical contract looks like phone book? That's how thorough you have to be to win a legal dispute between what the contractor provides and what you thought you were buying.
Misunderstandings are often expensive, thus does a provider's reputation precede them.
While I point to commercial, er, 'impasses' it becomes a much more precarious problem when it comes to positions of authority. The loose cannon the Tea Tards turned loose on the world stage is doing his darnedest to be what W. strove for...'a wartime president'.
We are still dumping billions into W's overseas Crusade, why does Dumbo want start an even bigger/deadlier war...is it because he wants to play with the bombs they keep locked up so some LUNATIC doesn't kill us all?
What part of 'preserve the peace' do you think El Trumpo doesn't get?
[What do you mean 'all of it'?]
[FULL STOP!]
Who is 'in charge' here?
Let's re-phrase that...who will they blame when numbnuts keeps firing the few responsible people and succeeds in placing a 'yes man' at the critical juncture of authorizing the launch?
Won't be him. The media has been warning us almost since he took office that he's 'deranged'. Whatever he does now it's on the [soon to be defunct] Republicans and their 'fake majority'. [less than 25 % of the public self-identifies as 'Conservative'...and 80% of them self-identify as Christian first!]
May be the largest 'united' segment of voters but it isn't the majority of the the SANE voters.
[Defunding the Democrats left the largest voting block in the nation rudderless. Many former Democrats vote Republican because they can't bring themselves to vote for the 'do nothings' the One Percent replaced the Democrats with.]
But this leads us to a second 'misunderstanding' because the bought and paid for media still calls the opposing candidates Democrats when no such animal currently exists in today's politics.
Do you understand now? [I keep fixing your ignorance but this 'one at a time' crap is really wearing me down, a little help here?]
The other, larger, 'misunderstanding' society suffers from happens to also be one of the Elephants in the room, the very definition of 'the public good'.
Those we elect to make the public good an actual thing look out their window in the morning, see people in their multitudes, lie back down and congratulate themselves, there's still a public, I'm good!
When confronted with their 'poor performance' they protest it's not them but the system that ties their hands [mind you it's a system we put THEM in charge of!]
Instead of 'ruffling the feathers' [of campaign donors] they prefer a 'hands off' approach. Gives the term 'paying it forward' a much more sinister undertone.
Yeah, we have a serious 'misunderstanding' between who we THINK we are electing and who THEY believe they work for.
Doesn't that clear matters up? It's all one GIGANTIC MISUNDERSTANDING!
How unfortunate for the powerless that NOBODY wants to do what they are paid/supposed to do?
The ONLY thing you can DO about it is STRIKE!
The ballot box is useless because the media controls it. Until NO ONE owns the press we won't enjoy a 'free & unfettered' press.
Life's other grand misunderstanding...'news' is a business too...and it's 'advertiser supported', subscriptions barely cover keeping the lights on [thanks to the feckless utilities.]
This feeds the myth that the press is 'society's guardian' [Which is true if you narrow society to 'just' the One Percent.]
Nobody knows what telling the truth results in because centuries of 'truth telling' us got us here and I'm not seeing 'free people' ANYWHERE!
Might be more to the point to opine that ANGER is what will set you 'free' [if only ever so briefly, but it is still an incredible feeling!]
So, what pisses you off?
Thanks for stopping by and opening your mind,
