Okay the Mavs played better tonight, still have a ways to go, but the fourth quarter showed some grit.
So really I was mad first today before the Mavs played better.
And this is really frustrating. There is an opinion article by Jeb Bush on CNN.com Business and it is somewhat fairly written. The problem is the topic is a problem that is well known for decades. Even me as an amateur hack bloggest was writing similar solutions in piecemeal posts ten years ago, yes ten years ago. And I was not a unique writer to this problem at that time and there were people earlier than me talking about we need to start retraining workers to evolve into new careers since so much was going automated.
And yet here we are in 2021 and Jeb Bush all of a sudden figures out there is a problem and it is a highlighted article on CNN Business page. Seriously, this is pandering or something because this is an old problem and his solutions are as amateurish as mine and I am going to brag, maybe more so, just better written. I was screaming in my blog ten years ago, the recession was a great time to begin the retraining of the work force, start INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS that involved new technologies and train workers to move into those jobs. Again ten years ago and I was not unique or first.
I was talking about real infrastructure changes such as building high speed rail in the southwest since there is so much sun and as far as I was concerned the airlines could invest in it.
I was talking about working with Mexico to build desalination plants along the Gulf up and down the Baja coast to create new agriculture or continue current agriculture. Shoot transport the water back to the origins of the Colorado River to shore up what was going on. And with splitting the technology and the water with Mexico you create a true partnership that actually did what the lie NAFTA said it was going to do. And these same plants would be working full capacity by now and helping with the drought in the Southwest.
These are just a couple of examples, I am too lazy of a person to go back and research them.
And CNN publishes a fluff piece by J Bush about a multi decade old problem.
I was blogging about how the money going to extended unemployment benefits to people back then, which helped, yet also much still should have been invested in the re-training of large swaths of the current workforce and plans to ramp up the capabilities of a future workforce. I was adamant we need to build up the work force through these economic development infrastructure projects, have better jobs and help to diversify our workforce and reduce the reliance on us just being a service economy. And this service economy is part of the problem as to why we do not have a workforce that can move forward.
2021, the problem is the same and the solutions are still weak. So whoopdeedoo Jeb Bush figured out there is a problem. And he use to be the Governor of a state that has a fairly good idea about helping people afford college that is now under attack by a Republican Senator in the Florida State Legislature. The Republicans could care less about the American worker or American education and they prove it over and over again, yet J. Bush is now acting like he cares about the future. Where was that 10 - 20 years ago?
Well thank goodness the Mavs only took one day to figure something better out because our national politicians and national media are still clueless to the solutions to the problems facing our country.
And it should be blatantly obvious after all these years why I say we need new parties and new leadership. We do not need change in the system, we need change in the people. Or what is scaring me is the change some people are leading us is regressing us to ten thousand years ago.
Jeb Bush may have a nice article to try and rebuild a political career. We need politicians to put their acts where there words are to rebuild the people.
And on top of everything, all the investment money just gets poured back on top of itself instead of investing in something worthwhile. Yeah folks the market is up, but sooner or later you need businesses to generate real business. And Jaime what’s his name thinks there is a problem with people working at home. The problem is you are more worried about your bonus than your people.
