As a news junkie I can see through the screens politicians put out for their advantage to staying in office. They don’t want you to know how enormous the mess is worldwide. Just as in the 1930s Authoritarian governments are slowly eradicating the liberties their people though were inviolable. The “Big Lie” fills the news media and internet to the point people believe lies instead of their eyes and commonsense.

            In the United States one Political party did all they could to help companies move jobs offshore along with the technology? At the same time they blamed the other party which supported the unions and non-union jobs being offshored. Today we have the need for tens and even hundreds of thousands of people to do jobs from landscaping to nursing to technology that Americans are unwilling or can’t do. At the same time one party does all it can to reduce or stop the needed labor from entering the labor market. The immigrants come to work so why not let them.

            Some people in both parties refuse to do what is needed to reduce emissions in hopes of keeping climate change to a manageable amount. They voted against the bill which will put charging units out for electric vehicles to use. The bill includes lots of things we must do to survive but people who voted against it are thinking only of the people who dump millions into their campaigns or their pockets.

            For decades I have heard both parties say we need to pass a big infrastructure bill, yet one party vote against it but took credit for how they got it for their voters.

            Add in the wars in Ukraine, the future war in Taiwan, potential wars in Iran and multiple terrorist ones, and the volatility of fossil fuels, the world is in a huge mess. Perhaps a bigger mess than in the last 50 years.
