and now?
So does the story end here? Actually, Stephen's employment quest will go on. This meager-waged dead end spot actually pays less than Stephen's unemployment check, and the cost of parking is astronomical. Thankfully, he enjoys the work, and if they keep accomodating his class schedule, it will be just the thing til finishing the degree. While it may pay as much, and offer fewer benefits, as compared to slinging french fries, it is what is needed for now.
Employment issues, as you can imagine, have become a bit of an issue for me. Just the whole "unemployed need not apply" trend is mind-boggling, the latest in a long list of deliberate decisions that corporations have made to damage this country, to drive wages down and to turn us against each other, scrabbling and fighting for crumbs. Needless scrabbling, of course, as the top 2% withhold jobs, resources and every opportunity in every corner that would make the difference for billions of us. Take a look sometime at legislation that's targeting small farms, small dairies, small businesses - and follow the money to see which multinational CEO's are sponsoring it. Yeah, 'cause some family with a couple acres selling heirloom tomatoes are such a threat to fucking Moasanto and Kraft.
My house has tubbies of fabric and garb, piles of games, books and magazines, rooms too cluttered to actually use - and we are therefore labled as "in need of help". A friend of mine kept over 30 dogs, rather than kill off any un-showable or un-sellable puppy from purebred GSD litters - she was labled and they came in and took each and every single dog away, sellng them for their own profit, or killing them when they wouldn't sell. So hoarders are bad people, right?
When are they going to stage an intervention with the top 2%, hoarding all that money and opportunity? I volunteer to hold my nose, put on the paper suit, rubber gloves and help load the truck.
