Complaining Solves Nothing

Nearly everyone bitches about homelessness, shootings, property taxes and the lack of affordable healthcare among many more. What I'm not hearing from people bitching the most are practical commonsense solutions. In my opinion these should never be made public. Not on a media report nor comment on social media. Not a single one that doesn't offer a suggestion to help solve the problem. If that were the case nearly all the divisiveness we're experiencing would cease to exist.

Almost everything ends up with finger pointing complaining what a jerk someone else is or how Democrats or Republicans are screwing things up. I'm fed up with all this finger pointing We all agree what the problems are. Anyone who just wants to complain without offering a solution needs to shut their pie hole. Enough already


Fact is most of this crap has been going on decade after decade. I don't doubt we'll still be dealing with this garbage for many more decades to come. Which makes me wonder how sincere are we at resolving any of this. Some continue making a nice living off of these issues. Others rather bitch then ever consider changing their ways. I, for one, am tired of this BS.

Mississippi Immigration Raids

NPR
300 Arrested In Mississippi Immigration Raids Have Been Released, Officials Say
"A total of 680 people were arrested, according to ICE, in what has been described as "record setting" raids in terms of size and scope. But a statement released Thursday by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Mississippi said that approximately 300 of them had been released."

The good news is there will be more job opportunities available.
Wonder how many will line up for them?

Couple things I need to point out. First of all this has nothing to do with the infamous Koch Brothers. It's owned (this and the other three raided) entirely by Joseph Grendys who had a similar charge against them in August 2007 over use of undocumented labor.

Then there's this. Kind of makes me wonder if it will result in not having to payout that settlement?



There could have been two better ways this could have been dealt with. Number one is I wonder how many of these would have qualified for Obama's "dreamers" status if Trump had not yanked it from them. Number two. Why didn't this company take the legal route by filing a request for foreign guest workers with the feds? Could it be the limit of 140,000 H2B VISAs per year were already taken? Was it a problem of money since these cost $150-$190 per applicant?

One thing is certain the timing was really bad. One day after the El Paso shootings on the first day of school. Yeah I know the argument.. "it's the law". Well laws are whatever we want them to be. They weren't handed down to Moses from God set in stone. My response to those who lack empathy and understanding is.. seize the opportunity. Now is your chance to do these shity jobs. See how you like them.


OH THAT LOOKS LIKE A FUN JOB DOESN'T IT?






Imagine what will happen if ICE raids a bunch more of the factories and farms. Americans sure as hell don't want these jobs. Food could become a lot more scarce and expensive.

Gun Debate Rages On






On and on and on it goes. I've been watching this debate over my lifetime. Nothing has changed. If anything it's gotten worse. After another shooting there will be the expected outrage along with the accompanying thoughts, prayers and memorials. Mix, stir, repeat. Round, round, round and round we go.
