In the post on December 21st, I pointed out some of Joe Biden's domestic failures. Amongst his biggest were, the economy, which is spiraling out of control for most Americans, while our leaders tell us everything is fine. All one needs do is look at the record-breaking increase in homelessness to realize that they're either lying or clueless. Whether lies or incompetence, those living on the streets can find neither solace nor relief from their words, actions or lack of empathy. Telling us it's not raining does nothing to keep us from getting wet in a downpour.
I discussed Biden's failure to reduce the cost of college, which limits America's brain trust and weakens this country's stance and status in the Global economy that thrives on innovation, especially in the advanced made in technology. Make it harder for an ever-increasing number if your population and lose yo advantage to those countries providing opportunities of higher education and growth to more of its citizens. Not only has this been proven by countries that have promoted higher education, but it seems the only only conclusion in a tech-driven civilization. Consider that Earth is moving from a level zero technological civilization towards a level one. To move Earth from level zero to level one in the Kardashev scale, Humanity must become smarter. In a country like the United States this is made more difficult by restricting the number of people who can attend college due to exorbitant costs. Creating such a barrier of entry for higher education not only shows a lack of empathy but a severe lack of understanding. In a tech-driven world, who in their right mind would limit opportunities to advance their country's technology to one percent of their population? While America may not currently limiting the opportunity for higher education to one percent, it is definitely trending in that direction as fewer people find the idea of 30 years of student debt appealing
So, domestically Biden has been a failure. Let's look at the way in which he is failing on the international stage. To do this we should first look at yet another of Biden's domestic shortfalls. On America's southern border there are millions of refugees flooding into the country. Some seoculate that this is a deliberate attempt to weaken the employment market. The more desperate people you have in your country, the lower your cost of labor.
Those who are drowning will inevitably drag down those who are barely staying afloat.
And, with as many as four million refugees making their way towards America, the negative impact of such an influx will trickle throughout America's economy. It does not matter whether these immigrants take jobs that no American wants, the affect will still be to drag wages down. This, at a time when American workers are waking up across the country and striking out against the stagnation of wages while the cost of everything else rises.
This rush of refugees is not merely a domestic issue for the United States. It is an outcome of America's foreign policy of policing the world through economic sanctions and military threat and action. When you drop bombs everywhere, people will migrate to the few places that are NOT being decimated. While this may seem obvious, it doesn't appear to be so to those who lead the United States. If it were apparent to leaders like Joe Biden and every president since World War Two, we might not have so many people willing to leave their homelands. Think about what kind of turmoil you would have to experience to leave your country with nothing in hand to go to a place that doesn't speak your language.
The flood of refugees at America's shores indicates one aspect of Biden's failures internationally. This is proven out when one asks why these people are making the drastic decision to flee the place that generations of their family called home. Of the many reasons for such a choice, chief amongst them have to be economic despair and physical safety. As for economic despair, America has caused much of this by spreading its unjust and immoral practice of inequality throughout the Globe. Steal the resources the U.S. wants from other countries by propping up corrupt regimes willing to sell their people out for personal gain. In countries where the leaders have integrity, replace them by any means possible. There is a great book called "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" that I used as reference when sighting examples of America's insidious behaviors towards its neighbors to the south, it's enemies around the planet and it's supposed friends everywhere. This whole country was founded on theft and continues to operate on thievery. And the worst part of it all is that America's thievery doesn't even benefit the country as a whole.
I will be updating this post throughout the day, so check back for more later.
In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups, or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare, and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.
In "Solutions...", I provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they choose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those for whom they care.
