HISTORY IN CONTEXT L 2

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE HISTORY IN CONTEXT L 2 It is hard to convince someone that they may have been or are wrong, we tend to consider our convictions as facts, alternate facts are as real as the facts themselves could ever be, we have seen that. How many in the working class and even the poor classes are sure they couldn't be worse off, or that their employers ( we no longer use the term masters) are fair and treat them well. But compared to what though? In the not so distant past the employers were called and considered masters. I discussed this phenomenon before. What are the "associates" at a Walmart or a Dollar store? Associates of what? What is one's association with their employer? Privately ask a local contractor about his workers. Anyway, what is new in the world, do we care, there is a major war going on between Russia and whoever wants to fight Russia without fighting Russia, and this a war where neither side is allowed to win or lose, must be the "new world order" , atleast the IMF is making money, and the defense contractors, the oil companies and other major corporations, every body wins. The world population has grown past 8 billion, and hundreds of millions are facing starvation, there are floods, droughts and hurricanes, rivers are going dry and and crops are being destroyed. But, who cares, the GOP has won the house, the Dems have the Senate and the 2024 campaign has started in ernest. We are too busy to worry about anything else, while we are busy complaining about everything else. Life is good. So what about the next two years, we will complain, we will gripe and we will undermine eachother and nothing will be done, nothing will get done, and we don't even know what we want done, so far so good. Life is good. We don't want our government to do anything, yet it is the same people that don't want the government to do anything that blame the government for everything. What if instead of asking the government to get involved in social issues, like banning this, that and the other , or not, we ask our representatives about the budget deficits, about the cost of healthcare, about actually fixing the price gouging by mega corporations, about the housing costs for the poor and such, aren't these the issues that the government should be fixing, from our cities and towns to the state and federal level. Doing something about the poverty and homelessness. But we believe what we believe and you don't question anyone's beliefs. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 17 NOVEMBER 2022
