So I think about a lot of things lately. I look at how this world is changing. I look at how our government is trying to pull our rights and toss them aside. I find it sad that a country that is supposed to be free gets treated so badly. Womens rights are trampled and we are supposed to sit here and be like OH well. I look at the rights of the LGBTQIA+ being torn asunder as well. I do not understand why anyone should feel they can govern another person based on their personal or sexual preferences. What does that have anything to do with the individuals that are not in that relationship? What we do behind closed doors is no ones business. If it doesn't affect us personally who are we do get involved in that? Be a good human. Is that not what we should strive to be?
Healthcare is a joke anymore. We need good people that care about others as our drs. Not all are bad but in my experience, I am seeing more and more where we get tossed in one box based on our looks and not on how we feel and things we are doing to better our health. Not to mention that its backwards where it comes to necessary medicines. For instance as a diabetic that needs insulin, I can not get it without jumping thru hoops out here in the USA. In other countries it would be a no brainer that this medicine is lifesaving and should be available with no issues. But in my country they offer free resources for people in substance recovery. Free meds to stop them from using. Free AA classes. But lifesaving meds for those that need them costs out the rear end and people die from not being able to afford these meds.
I look at our economy. We have a national minimum wage of 7 dollar and change an hour. BUT to get an apartment you need 3x what it costs to rent it. So if you are only getting the bare minimum you literally cannot afford to live alone. I watch the rich get richer and the rest of the country falling into flames. Jobs are scarce and then when they are in a field you want to work in the pay is junk or they want higher degrees but the pay doesnt even reflect the degrees that one carries. I myself have a Bachelors. It has gotten me nowhere except working for myself. Jobs in my field are needed but the pay is not right for what you need to be able to survive out here.
I recently saw how veterans are being treated. These men and women are our brothers and sisters in arms. They paid the ultimate price for our freedoms. We have lost so many great people that went out of their way to protect our country. Some lost their lives. Some come back changed. Even so they are still people. They are human. They are me and you. Do we not all bleed the same? So why do we treat others so badly. I just cannot wrap my head around all the hatred in our country. Skin color, background, religions...so what...they can be who they want to be and let us be us as well. We are still humans. BE A GOOD HUMAN. I honestly do not care if I lose people over this. I do not care who you vote for or who you are affiliated with. I just want people to treat people as people. Not 2nd rate citizens for whatever bias they carry for them.
This country was built on immigrants. The only people in this country that are not immigrants are those people that are NATIVE to the americas. They were here first before anyone colonized our country. Yet they get the most persecution. And I see how our administration is trying to toss aside people to kick them out of the USA based on the fact they look a certain way or sound a certain way. That does not give anyone the right to hurt them. If they got here and didnt do it right...maybe help them get the correct paperwork and give them a shot to be a beneficial part of this country instead of making it look like we are all animals that dont care about the general public.
Anyhow I am off my soapbox now. I wish you all the best. Please leave me a comment on what you think about this post.
