So now mass media and social media are portraying the idea that people in America want a race war. I don’t think that’s the case. Sure there are ignorant people out there of all races, but the average person just wants to survive and live a decent life. These people and actions that are being highlighted don’t represent the identity of the majority of the public. Most people just want to be happy, take care of their family, keep a roof over their head, and food on the table. From what I can tell, a lot of the people yelling about a Civil War/Race War look like do nothing people who are just angry at the world because they feel like they were dealt a bum hand or they aren’t happy with themselves.
That’s about what it boils down to. People need to stop being so angry all the time and wanting to watch the world burn. I understand their anger about having to work, having to pay bills, but that’s the way things are right now and you have to learn to cope and adapt to them. Maybe one day there will be a change, where people can have more free time and can spend time pursuing their hobbies and enjoyments, but for now it’s 40+ hours a week and doing what you have to do. Just take sanity days off occasionally and you’ll be fine.
My issue is the fact that a lot of us are willing to get up and participate in wage slavery, but we aren’t being compensated enough to truly do what we need to do with the costs of the things around us. I’ve heard that there are people in San Francisco who earn $100k yearly, but they still need to have a roommate to live in a decent, safe part of the city, because they couldn’t afford to on their own. That’s crazy and things like that need to stop. If you’re willing to get up and go to work, you should be rewarded with enough money to pay for your home, pay for food, pay for gas for your vehicle, and have some disposable income to have some fun in your life. I don’t know what needs to happen to resolve that.
Capitalism is a huge part of the problem. The greed of a lot of companies makes things the way they are here. From banks, to leasing offices for rentals, to gas station/oil companies, to food service/grocery stores, everyone wants maximum profit no matter what it’s doing to the balance of society. The grocery stores aren’t going to lower their prices just so people can afford more food to eat. They don’t care. The people at the top of the chain of that grocery chain want as much money as they can get so they can buy their yachts, mansions, supercars, and live the life of Riley. That’s fine that they want those things, but at a certain point you’re just being gluttonous with money. What’s the difference between 1 billion dollars, and 500 million with the cost of most things in the world?
If I owned a company and I had the option to really tighten up on things and pay my employees shit, not give them decent benefits, hire contractors instead of making them a part of the company – all in order to make a profit of 1 billion I wouldn’t do it. If the flipside of that was that I make 500 million, but I can give my employees bonuses, pay them a decent living wage, give them great benefits, provide them with free snacks to eat in case their money is tight and they need to eat at work – I would do that instead. The latter company would have a good “business karma” as well. There is karma in everything and you will pay the piper at some point. With the way America is doing things, the country’s karma is in the crapper. At some point it’s going to fall because it’s built on greed, negativity, lies and deceit. We could change that, but it would take a massive effort from the people sitting on top, and I just don’t think they care enough to do that. Anyways, til next time reader!
