We Can Fix It

Posted by Commentary about the Blue Marble in Immigration

≈ Leave a comment

Karma is when you do something and then endure the results whether good or bad.
Much of the immigration problem today is the result of what we have done over the past few decades.

Tens of thousands of Venezuelans are in or coming to the United States is the direct result of the conditions which we caused by trying to oust their political leaders. We almost overturned the government with sanctions and destroying their economy. Conditions have gotten so bad for the majority of the people they have no choice but to leave the country they love. Perhaps if we turned the policies around, the immigrants would return home. Those policies are the result of both the Republican and the Democrat Presidents and Congresses.

The immigrants from Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador are coming to the country that has interfered in their country for over a century. The countries are overrun with gangs we exported from California and corrupted dictators we sponsored and were bad for their countries. Of course climate change has contributed to the anxiety of living in those countries. Together hundreds of thousands have come to live in a safer place.

Both American political parties are responsible for this mess but don’t expect either one to fix the roots causing the immigration flood. If both parties acted the flood of people would be flowing South towards home. The people you elected know how to solve the problem but they won’t because not enough of us will tell them to fix it.

Think and Rethink

        A Lowes’ commercial reminded me of a dumb thing a friend did when we were juniors in high school. In the commercial a man jumps up to slap a Lowes banner above the double doors. Gary jumped up to give a double-sided metal pharmacy sign a karate chop. He broke a bone in his right hand and had it in a cast for six weeks. A couple of days after his cast was cut off we were walking down the same sidewalk. I asked him why he did something so dumb. He said he probably didn’t think about what could happen.

            How many times have people done things without thinking past the immediate action? An example is the CIA moved the Ayatollah Khomeini  to France to keep him safe from the Shah’s retribution. The CIA housed and supported him until the Shah was overthrown.

            The most obvious not thinking is all the owners and CEOs of Germany’s big businesses that helped Adolph Hitler to gain power. We supported the Soviet Union to defeat Hitler which might not ever have happened if Stalin had lost. Because of that support the Cold War, the Iron Curtain, and several close WW III incidents happened.

            Why rethink if the resulting problem will belong to the next mayor, governor, or president?

            Oh yes, you may have guessed it already! Right after Gary told me he hadn’t thought about why, we walked under the same sign – he jumped up and hit the other side. Yep! Six more weeks! Sometimes we keep hoping for a different result from doing stupid things.

More Than Warm Bodies Needed

Posted by Commentary about the Blue Marble in Unions

≈ Leave a comment

            An Amazon Warehouse in New York has voted to be in a union. Why when they aren’t asking for more money or many benefits would they rock the boat? The prime reason seemed to be the desire to be treated as a human and not some disposable piece of meat. A lot of this disregard seems to have occurred about the same time as personnel departments became human resources. We all know how Americans treat resources. We use them up and throw them away.

            Warehouse jobs are changing because they need thousands of people to do all the merchandize handling. Robotics can do some of the work but not as fast as humans so people are much needed. In today’s world many humans are still needed so a smart company should start thinking of their employees as an asset to be cared for and respected.
