The caregivers of America are desperate.
They have been abandoned.
They have lost hope.
Can you imagine anything more chilling? This is an unbreakable strike. They say communication is gone. Allies are gone. Backing is gone. They can no longer keep caring enough alone without losing charges. Improving their charges, forget self-sufficiency, is no longer even a hope. People who work with people, paid or unpaid, are losing it. Dropping a few loose nuts and bad seed is merely a shame, but can this be effecting the personal structure that creates and keeps people who work with people? How weird is this now? What stop the weirdness from growing?
For people who don't write tracts, treatises, and diatribes, this is how they speak publically. They don't send a message, they send one of their own. They send a demonstration. Bill is both. BC arose in Arkansas, the archtypal state of neediness. The voters most loyal to him have been women, the primary caregivers. [Shame on the charisma-sex appeal explanation.] Families whose entertainment is monster trucks crushing smaller trucks, and who made Jerry Springer the no. 1 show are his supporters. [Shame on the too ignorant explanation.] America, and the world, are these...abandoned and looking to BC. The preoccupied intellectual, the religiously succored, the connected powerful, the busy business technocrate...these are the fringe. And the fringe grows by unraveling the main.
I have sought to dispel false explanations, and to demystify BC. I have only the most tentative suggestion toward better inclusion and empowerment. Employees have constant control over quality and value or waste and loss in a company. I would think a system of paying employees with stock, as well as wages, would represent their power. It would allow them some voice and control in the enterprise where they spend their life. Philosophically, the parallel between wages and indentured servant [often, pre-slave] and between stockholder and citizen is too easy to ignore. But, hey, you don't want me bringing maturity to your economic system. Get busy and do it yourselves, or your Mother and your mechanic will send Bill Clinton over.
