What is going on in America? To a certain extent the situation extends to Australia. But I will never understand the concept of forcing students to go into debt just to pay for their education. Education is a right. The day we fucked up was the day people decided to monetise and profit from loans to students in this regard. It's not AS prevalent in Australia, since all the loans are from the Government, but it's still fucked up, because it has created a distinct lack of parity between those who studied up to the 1990's and those beyond, because those who did not have to pay back the Government (education was free), have a MASSIVE head start in life. Then when you factor in how the older generations have benefitted greatly from housing prices and shifts in the market to own multiple properties, and this disparity grows larger and larger. This generation in their 20's now are getting screwed. And it's only getting worse. The younger generation are way too obsessed with celebrity culture and becoming rich and famous to be actually effective. So if they're dead weight, it's up to us to start a revolution, an uprising to just demand fairness. Not demand what is ours, because that's selfish. But just fairness. Because the more the rewards make their way into the hands of the very few, the majority will begin to ask questions. But they need to act.
God help America. Another government shutdown. What I will never understand about US foreign policy is that they're so engrossed in the affairs of others, under the mistaken belief that everyone is after them that they are willing to let their own citizens suffer immensely. People can't get affordable health care. Pay is so low for the majority of jobs that people have to work multiple jobs to support their families. I mean come on, what kind of existence is that? And people want to blast those who can't afford health care? You sick, entitled people. The system is failing and it's good to see. You keep blowing trillions of dollars on wars to fight those who don't really want to fight you and it's going to come back to bite you in the ass. Just watch it all crumble from underneath your feet. Looking out to distant shores and not even realising that the place you're standing in has fallen apart. This self-implosion is just gorgeous to watch. You deserve it. How about doing your best to actually look after the American people (not INTERESTS of the wealthy few)? I bet if you stopped this paranoid foreign policy and related unjust wars, you would probably find that the bad stuff that tends to happen would probably drop off. I know, crazy thought, right? But people are so pent up about not losing any face that they will continue until they're just finished. And look at what it's doing to the country. What kind of country spends so much on warfare, but so little on social security?? Go figure. Says a lot about the society.
I had some comments about President Obama, but I'll save them for tomorrow. I didn't have a lot of time to blog today because it's been busy, and this was a last minute rush job, but I hope you understand. Tomorrow will be busy, but hopefully not as much.
I'm done.
Joaquin out.
