I took time to travel across this great nation, US of A with my daughter, we had a wonderful time together. Something every family, rich or poor should investigate.
Not to our surprise we stopped at different neighborhoods along the way. One incident in New Orleans caught my daughter's attention. A store where merchandise prices were not displayed, hence the cashier claimed he had them all stores in his head. Well, this was not a mom and pap store, it was a major store in a a very populated area. We decided to ask why, the pompous cashier, with arrogant attitude, rudely stated, if we don't like it, we should take our business somewhere else; or report to judicial system. It just happened a police officer was in the same store, the cashier turned and directed our question to the officer, who mockingly laughed and said, it was the cashier's store, and it was his right to decide the prices. We made one purchase there, took it to another store where prices were displayed to compare, and the markup was 200%.
The poor have neither the income nor political power to hold anyone accountable for meeting their needs--they are political and economic orphans. The rich-country public knows little about what is happening to the poor on the ground in struggling countries. The wealthy population mainly just wants to know that "something is being done" about such a tragic problem as world poverty. The utopian plans satisfy the "something-is-being-done" needs of the rich-country public, even if they don't serve the needs of the poor.~Arnold Kling
It has been this way for a long time, while we complain about the state of our economy, we have places like this taking from the poor just to enrich themselves. My daughter and I decided that, while traveling again, we would avoid Raceway 919, where the cashier store all prices in his head.
I have been working for the most of my life, like most of you reading this article. The economic stalemate we are going through now leaves alot to be desired.
My opinion of elected delegates to the capital, was to help improve our living or citizen's living conditions.What is going on with our elected officials? Can't we agree to disagree? Leave personal ideas/beliefs outside the door when go in to vote. It does not matter who the commander-in-chief is, think about the benefits relating to the humans that voted you in. We humans evolve, Why do our elected officials refuse to evolve?
I noticed how much has been cut out of our educational system. Are we now going to be raising kids who will be applying for jobs using text language? What is text language? How many of our teachers graduated with bs/ba/ms/phd in such language? where are we going? Most of our elected so-called politicians enroll their kids in private schools where this text system is strictly discouraged. Who are these politicians that have completely ignored our rights to good education by cutting funds to schools just to enrich themselves?
If your child is in public school and plan to go to college, think about this. Will he or she be able to compete if he/she can only text? The text language is not college approved, YET.
Cut all you want, but let our children be educated properly, to congress/senate in all state. We will be rendering our children impotent to compete in the new world if you don't evolve.
Today is our independence day, remember that.
