disguised as a regular bear i make my rounds among the unsuspecting people quietly listening to their conversations as i sift through the days trash pretending that i need a meal. what they dont know is that my belly is warm and full courtesy of the man stealing purses from old ladies. one thing i cant stand even among humans is crime. they may burn the forests with their wicked fire, but i have hope for humanity yet.
the sidewalk was busy and the smell of greasy tacos wafted through the air via the rusty vent on the side of the dirty roach coach parked nearby. there was a line nearby, people seemed to be shifting. restless. as if they were waiting for something. that something they were waiting for was hope. hope for a better future. hope for permanent jobs and sustainability. lucky my stomache was full or this could get nasty.
today the people were waiting for a little somthing tho get them by. tomorrow they would be back in their sunglasses and expensive basketball shoes. they had been on the dole so long they knew little else. this morning in the window of flanigans TV shop, the news man announced a new government stimulus package on top of the first three that failed. when would this government realize that bailouts, stimulus, and handouts are just borrowed money anyway. The money comes from the taxpayer, financing the future for votes today. its just a sad sad political circle. vote prostitution.
lucky for these poor souls cave man has men on the inside. men who know what picante sauce is supposed to taste like. it doesnt taste like stuff from new york city. NEW YORK CITY?!!! get a rope..... now these men are paid by bear-kind to create whispers of change and hope within man-kind for a better future for us all. these men know what the city needs. these learned men know how to end the depressing doldrums of doom. let me spell it out for you.
first, man kind needs to redirect funding to research schools like UCLA and RUTGERS. these schools produce thinkers and creators of new ideas and processes. often times they create new technologies that become widespread and profitable. these new ideas and techs create new industry which spreads across the nation. these new industries provide new jobs and new exports to bolster the economy. they will sell briskly in emerging markets like china and india. this brings revenue to the localities and this revenue is spent in local businesses. this all results in jobs jobs jobs.
i am going to go out on a limb here and say that the industry that we need to create is a productive one. how about agriculture? is there a reason there should be all these people standing in line when there are tomatoes needing picking? we have a back-door industry that has existed all along and no-one seems to have noticed it. maybe because so many people think that stooping over is for migrants? well we are all migrants, especially me, cave man bear. this is a short term job that will give rise to long term jobs in the service industries. think summer jobs for college kids.
of course this is not all so easily done. this is survival of the fittest, just like bear-kind. if someone is unfit to compete for resources, well use your imagination...this is what this is all about right? i mean im some bear acting like a wild bear, minding my own business on the mean streets of modesto and nothing is out of place? thats how wild this whole thing is. there is a man eating bear in line next to you at the bank and you dont even notice?
mission accomplished.

This made me laugh. Love the bear. Go UCLA. My mom went to college there and UC Irvine.
ReplyDeleteOdd post, but good. I think you're an interesting writer though (totally critical, sorry) you should use spellcheck more often. I definitely agree we should fund education...though I don't understand why stimulus checks under this administration are bad while checks under the other administration were good. Personally, I think they've all been pointless and have done little to improve our economy or generate any long-term spending.
ReplyDeleteThe bear was awesome! funding education is one of the best ways to work. Good post
ReplyDeleteYes education is most important and it's one of the few things we've still got going. Budget cuts and layoffs starting to become the norm though.
ReplyDeleteRight on I like your point. I hate it when I hear that illegal alliens are here to do jobs that americans won't do. It never made any sense to me, that we pay people to do nothing when we can have doing something that would benefit the people. I think it would also help discourage generational welfare families.
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea about summer jobs! Lots of people remember fondly their summers of hard manual labor, but those jobs just don't exist anymore. I think this idea of "jobs Americans don't want" doesn't really make sense. Plenty of people need money, so make those jobs available to Americans.
