America's Obsession With Work

 

Work is Killing Us 

We have been conditioned from the time we are little till the time we graduate out of High School; "Go to School, Work Hard and You'll be Rewarded" etc etc It has done the opposite, we are less happy, more broke, our life expectancy has gone down and our health has decline what are we doing wrong? 

The problem we have is that we are obsessed with work and wanting more and having more and whatever we have isn't enough we have to go get more to the point that we neglect our families, ourselves and our health. 

We have become so cynical that we believe working one job isn't enough we have to work 2 or 3 jobs and if we don't work enough we get criticized and ostracized if don't have work and we are taught to demonize the unemployed and to glorify the rich. 

The American Dream no longer exist, sadly its a myth of a bygone era, we are working more hours and less pay than our parents did and job security no longer exist, the time of having a good decent paying job, a living wage, benefits and a unionized job is a thing of the past. Corporations have taken over thing from our jobs, to the way we live and work to how we eat and sleep. Workers no longer have rights like they did 50 years ago. We have gone from being an industrial   economy to a services economy in less than 40 years? How is that possible? When everything started to go corporate in the 1970s many corporations did away and dismantled unions that protected workers and advocated for their wages, safety and benefits to becoming slave masters and servants. There is no company loyalty anymore with the workers so they don't worker as hard because they can be easily displaced like they are a number not a person. 

Unless we change our values system and not be so focused and obsessed with work people will be dropping dead, families will fall apart, our health will continue to decline and we will still be broke no matter how many jobs we have and the world from the outside will continue to look at us with pity, displeasure and disgust. 

AOC: Conservatives Biggest Nightmare

Republicans and Libertarians's Public Enemy #1

Alexandria Ocassio Cortez is a Democratic Socialist that has become very influential in Washington D.C. in the matter of a few years. She is most powerful Hispanic Woman in government today and she is making an impact in many ways and she is isn't taking any prisoners. As a Democratic Socialist she is working hard to transform the country from a Federal Republic into a Social Democracy that exist in other developed countries. She fought against established politicians and has gained the respect of the people and her constituents and she is a popular leader and she is breaking barriers.   

The United States is the only developed country that doesn't have universal healthcare, living wages, maternity paid leave, tuition free education or a 40 hour work week. Republicans and Libertarians don't like because because she wants to create bigger government and make corporations accountable and take money out of politics and to tax the wealthy who pay little to no taxes and to close loophole offshore accounts where most wealthy hide their money. 

She is a advocate for Hispanic Rights, she is for DACA and for immigrants rights, for rent control and for debt forgiveness for College Students, police reform and to increase spending into social services and for housing, education and medical services. She is against government waste and funding things we don't need and to have more accountability and to remove corruption from Washington. 

There needs to be accountability and to regain the public trust which as been lacking for many years and people are slowly waking people and realizing that the status quo isn't working and its hurting working class people and minorities. Change isn't going to happen overnight it will take time and a lot of work but its going to get there people need to stop voting against their own interests and vote for the common good for everyone not just for a select few which has been a problem for a long time where special interest groups have been reigning supreme for a long time and that's why they are against bigger government because if the government has more control corporations can't bribe or buy politicians like they are doing now. 

COVID-19 Has Proven We Aren't Invisible

We Are Not Invisible 

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown to us nobody is invisible not even the government or the Ultra Rich. People are realizing that voting Republican and Conservative hasn't worked and they have hurt their own people that vote against their own interests. The Republican Party doesn't care about the poor, the mentally or people that are risk, they are against a social safety net and protecting workers and giving people a living wage so they don't have to work 3 jobs just to get by and cover their basic necessities. Americans need to realize they have been shooting themselves in the foot and hurting themselves by believing in myths such as American Exceptionalism, Monroe Doctrine and Manifest Destiny what did that get us? Nowhere except hatred of the world and creating more enemies and letting it's population starve. 

We need to abolish the two party system and create a multi-party system and invest in social services, infrastructure, education, health and to address the opiate crisis and mental illness crisis that we have because nobody is doing it and its affecting our economy, families and society as a whole. Enough of the politics we need change, transparency and accountability and to punish the billionaires and get them out of politics permanently and to tax the churches and to protect the environment.
