There are some groups of people. Such as Communists that will lump in Conservatives with Liberals. In assessing these people with their ideology. They insist Conservatives and Liberals are cooperating in Capitalist Tyranny. I don’t agree. In Previous statements Socialists Loots has also stated some agreement here.
‘Make something from nothing.”
I used to write about how my family would pressure me to join the army. Despite the fact I had no related technical abilities. I exercised for aesthetic. Since the age of 14. I had the breathe span of a heavy smoker. ‘Thanks Mom!” You absolutely useless con-artist woman. In High School I was in low level learning, I struggled at becoming literacy and struggled with technical courses such as Design tech. Mom had no interest in my education. This was her way of making something out of nothing. Well nothing she had attempted to comprehend. She deserves a prize for the least involved Autism Mom.
Meritocracy is a myth.
https://queensu.ca/gazette/stories/canada-s-lagging-productivity-affects-us-all-and-will-take-years-remedy – Queen’s University talks about why Canada’s Productivity is falling behind. Saying that we will need investments to fill our talent shortfall in order to be able to bring it back up again. ‘Make something from nothing.” Well let’s hope that investment appears in Grants. Not Loans, debt and misery. That mainly benefit financers and not the individuals who try to make something from nothing. Another problem is that when your wages don’t even cover the rent? You are not incentivized to participate meaningfully in this economy. I have noticed this issue in Call centers for years. The jobs don’t actually fix problems for people. They just make it so the people are somewhere else and can’t handle the problems themselves. The only way the jobs could fix the problem? Is if people had the financial resources to deal with things such as Child care, Rent and removing themselves from unstable living situations. All of which you could trace to call center employee absences which lead to…. Stalled or slowing Productivity!
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-tfw-program-canada-low-wages – Right now related to this article. Belleville Ontario has a shortage of workplace positions for permanent residents. Due to the over use of Temporary foreign workers in sectors of Service, Fast Food and other low wage professions. In talking to locals? You get people now calling the Tim Hortons on 161 Bridge Street Belleville Ontario the Indian Tim Horton’s. Now personally though? I don’t think Foreigners who come here to work and get robbed blind by greedy Canadian Businesses and landlords are a huge problem in themselves. They just enable a lot of the worst Canadians to be predatory and opportunistic.
1 Major problem facing our community. Is we have the Quinte Landlord Association expressing Concern with the Federal budget. When in truth? We need to be holding them accountable up to and including getting rid of some landlords. They take too much credit for success in housing people and not enough credit for the role they play in the affordability crisis. Here is a news flash to readers. In Free Market Capitalism? Not all price hikes need to be passed to the end user. No matter what you think reality is. These big and small property owners could maneuver their budgets. That way Property owners have more equity in their properties. Then they don’t feel the hike in something like Interest rates so much. It is Raising prices without raising benefits. It is theft pure and simple! I have seen property owners for years. Leverage equity on their property for vacations and their own personal luxuries. Then pass the expense to the renters. It isn’t right. It is wrong.
Landlords have nothing to do with the affordability of housing. They only hurt it by injecting a middle man in to the process. Let’s not hear this group out too much. The pure stupidity of their use of press just needs to be called out and we need to move on. This is an issue we fix for poor people. Not Scrooge like corrupted landlords who are greedy selfish pigs who push their fellow human beings into poverty with no remorse.
Belleville Ontario is in a Crisis of Poverty and social conscious. Not a budgetary Crisis like Conservatives always manufacture. If you stop believing the same lies for 10 seconds. You can see we need a top down re-working of governance and very Progressive forward thinking decision making. I mean it is that or my generation makes this town a not nice place to live. You decide as the voter. We aren’t going to humor any Conservative agendas though. You can’t turn student debt into success, You can’t get people out of poverty well they rent & Foreign workers are only being used for the local Tim Horton’s. They aren’t solving our need for educated people in desired sectors.
We can only fix these problems with
Investment in Education for Domestic Students – WAY Less DEBT more grants.
Get Landlords out of housing – Unless highly regulated. We don’t need petty landlords dictating over peasants like modern feudalism. Landlords do not boost housing supply. This is a Conservative myth. They only monopolize a resource and then scam end-users with heightened pricing. The fact right now we have property owners B*** about Canada Revenue agency well they mismanage their rentals and act like petty dictators. It means the government is working to get the financial dip****! Out of the picture.
Stop passing hardships to the working class – Cause I am telling you right now. Unless the prize is sweet and highly rewarding. We aren’t going to heighten productivity margins! We will let your society collapse. Well we do nothing. Cause believe me it isn’t that hard. By the way on top of unproductive organizations. Birth rates are down, Military enlistment is down and we still have a shortage of tradespeople. We are letting it rot! Whether you like it or not.
I tried to make something from nothing. I fell flat on my face. It hasn’t worked out for me so far. If we heighten standard of living for workers, raise the social safety net and make things better for the average person. Maybe things do not have to be this bad.
Announcement: On the note of making something out of nothing.
It is Bay of Quinte Pride Season. I am going to request my readers NOT volunteer with this Entertainment operation disguised as a Non-Profit. Here is why you should not volunteer with Pride Organizations? 1. They don’t lead to better opportunities. I volunteered with a Pride organization in Kingston and got to work in a call center. 2. There is no activism of value happening here. 3. They are robbing people like me of their labor value. This isn’t making something of nothing. This is pointing out this is nothing and should be treated as such. It is not a volunteer opportunity for the greater good of LGBTQ movements. It is just a relic adapted for Commercial, business & Tourism purposes.
I wrote a letter about what I think of this organization. I think it is important to remember at the end of the day is this organization does not represent me as an LGBTQ Organization. The value of what they do? Is purely the value of an LGBTQ Entertainment operation. One that should not be using volunteers.
For The Love of Belleville.
