"The Garbage Generation" back in '91. (read it two or three times). He explained why some countries are dirt poor, while others are productive. It's about societies where work is encouraged, considered worth the bother, vs. societies where needless and multiple barriers are in place.
Btw, here in the US, we're startled at the high unemployment rate. i recall, some 15-20 years ago, that in various eastern nations, the UC rate is, and has been, more like 30%.
Theme of Daniel Amneus'es book is: There most certainly is a double standard. It's a work double standard. Women want men who work, and if there's none around, then after a tussle in the shack, peewee is shown the door - and down the road, same outcome for peewee ii, (or iii...)
Amneus was no friend of feminism. He must have had about every feminist book, because there are dozens of properly cited quotes (can you even do that anymore, without some narcoid wrIter/publI$her throwing a major hissy-fit?). He describes how western feminists, very clueless, thought 3rd world women had it together - while, in reality, the reason why the mom of three-or-more (from various dads) owned, or rented the 5 acre farmstead...and worked some 14 hours daily to try and keep things running was, because many of the men in those hard-scrabble societies grew up fatherless.
So yeah, makes sense, peewee's gonna be a peewee because his dad grew up fatherless. Sure, there are exceptions, but generation after generation...doesn't take long for basic living skills - like keeping a job, keeping the house maintained - to be neglected, forgotten along the way - to a certain place the Scriptures say has no order.
How do you keep a job if there are no jobs?
ReplyDeletePeeps, you're right about the job shortage. The covid scam just makes the bleak economic situation even worse. A situation that prevents able-bodied people from finding and keeping decent jobs - and so, less tax money to help support people unable to work.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, just my opinion: the government should have never made businesses shut their doors. The US is a free country, and if Americans don't want covid, then they can choose to stay home.
How many poor people outside the disabled or those who manage to get gig employment [and you better have some good computer skills/education, not every person could even do what husband does and he has friends who tried it and failed] can afford to stay home. For most it's work or be homeless. I am worried even now we are looking at millions of deaths if Trump wins/succeeds in cheating for a second term. I expect the entire country to collapse.
DeleteDear Peeps, yep could be a problem way over Trump's (or Biden's, or being-groomed- witchiepoo's) paygrade.
ReplyDeleteWell I know which one is more likely to just let people die in the gutter. Maybe consider all those brainwashed people shouting Socialism. They don't care about you or me, as they help the billionaire's out.
