Crisis

 You know what we have in America, perhaps even the world?  A crisis in confidence.  What I mean by that is people no longer have confidence in so many parts of our society, culture and professions.  DEI.  Diversity, equity and inclusion.  Didn't earn it.  DEI is the antithesis of meritocracy.  Yet the problem is compounded by changes in the work force, economic growth across various sectors of the economy. 

When my mom was in the hospital, I heard a side conversation about how many nurses are not properly trained or qualified for their positions, in large part due to AI and googling everything they need to know to pass exams.  There is not adequate practical experience these gained by these entry level employees before being hired.  That is concerning.

I was visiting with some pilot friends recently.  They were talking about some of these new first officers that have 1500 hours of flying under their belt.  Just flying around in straight lines logging hours without gaining critical experience required to maintain control of their aircraft in various weather/flying scenarios.  The captain typically has to take control when things get dicy to land the aircraft safely.  And there is conflict between captains and first officers on how job duties are to be performed.  There's a reason there is a door between the flight deck and the cabin of the aircraft.  It also came out during our conversation that many new first officers are being mandatorily upgraded to captain once they're eligible whether or not they are fit for or comfortable in the role.  Many people in positions they are not qualified for in life experience but in meeting required minimums.  Think a guy that's been flying E175s for a few years getting hired on a mainline and going straight into the left seat of a B767. There's a huge difference in operating those two types of aircraft.

I used to think having the youngest doctor was a good idea because they've received the latest and greatest training.  They're up to date on the latest techniques and treatment methodologies.  That may sound good in theory, but I'd rather have a surgeon who's done hundreds if not thousands of procedures than the guy fresh out of medical school fulfilling his residency.  No learning hospital for me.  Thank you.

I wonder how many things go wrong that are swept under the rug in both professions.  It's disturbing to think about.

We also have a crisis in confidence in our institutions, such as government, police, WHO, media, etc. They are no longer operating in the best interests of the citizenry.  They're either operating in their own interests or to whoever will pay top dollar. - I guess that's their own interest, but it is not in the best interest of commoner.  

This became apparently obvious in the snipers of the Kamala Harris interview on CNN.  Dana Brash was a horrible interviewer - leading Kamala into answers.  Giving her options instead of making her think and answer for herself.  America wants to hear the candidate defend themselves.  Not some softball interview carrying the candidate as long and as far as possible in hopes of getting them elected.  The media treats Harris different than they treat Trump.  Does anyone else notice?  Why?  Because they despise the mean orange man.

After the covid hoax, no one believe the NIH or the WHO or the CDC.  They overstepped their boundaries.  They took our rights from under us.  All in the name of protecting the greater good.  I adamantly disagree.

There are too many people on the planet and the growth is unsustainable.  Too many people need services without enough trained people to provide them.  

I was also listening to the radio and they were talking about the days of affordable housing and other goods are gone due to the amount of money infused into the economy, not only by printing it, but subsidizing all sorts of nonsense.  The days of a high quality pair of shoes costing 100-150 bucks are gone.  Now a pair of good shoes costs 150-225 dollars.  Being able to eat a fast food meal for 7 bucks are gone too.  Now days a shit sandwich from McDonalds is 10-15 bucks.  Gas for two bucks a gallon?  Never again.  It's all part of the plan to motivate you to purchase a piece of shit electric car.  Our economy has forever been damaged by democrat policies - subsidies, hand outs, loan forgiveness, wars, etc.  All of it has destroyed the American way of life.  Most unfortunate to see the greatest country on earth teetering on the brink of becoming a third world shithole like venezuela.  

But hey - at least the typical grocery store in america probably carries 20,000 different items... who buys the fancy stuff vs those of us scraping by purchasing peanut butter and jelly and bread.

America's future is bright.  Maybe if you're some illegal alien coming here from BFE.   For the typical American citizen, this country is in decline.  Thanks to immigration of illegals into our land.  I hate Joe Biden for what he's done to the United States of America.
