There are a
number of things that I question but I wonder if anyone else is asking the same
thing.
For instance, how is it possible to call
the services of nurses, teachers, postal workers, paramedics, and even air line
workers “essential services” but at the same time we have privatization of
services like heating and electricity?
In other words, as private services the name of the game is profits
first, care of public well being is not even on the agenda. Is this what we want in our society?
How is it possible that the powers that
be can roll back the pension plans, dip into the pension funds of private
corporations and basically reduce certain sectors from the retirement
expectations they have worked and paid into for decades; but at the same time
the same powers that be can grant themselves obscenely high retirement
packages, severance packages and whatever other packages tickle their fancies? Just how much money can the pigs at the
trough gobble up – is that a question in Trivial Pursuit? Oh that’s right, it’s an upward moving
target.
In your ideal world, what do you think
would be the right amount of disparity between the privileged and the
not-so-privileged? Between the educated,
under-educated and over-educated?
Between the hogs and the horses?
Just wondering how your world is ticking
along.
