I am writing up this post in January after a whole lot of shock and awe.
I reflect on the Holocaust Remembrance Day in January and I wonder if anyone in the current administration even remotely has read The Diary of Anne Frank, Night by Elie Wiesel, etc, etc, etc.
Has anyone considered the "small jobs" that have been carried on forever that do keep the nation running? Just a mass obliteration without any thought whatsoever seems a tad extreme.
Sure, review jobs, dollars, etc. I agree there is waste and that should be addressed - line by line. But just a slash and burn......seriously?
Read Michael Lewis's The Fifth Risk about the first Trump admin. It is a scary assessment.
I worked for a company that provided satellite support for NOAA. It's one of those behind the scenes operations that is actually important for the world. To have that dropped...out of science ignorance - OMG. Duh.
I could go on, but the folks that should be reading and thinking are NOT. Huge Sigh!
Carry on, folks. Rome is burning and Nero is fiddling......
Hi Joanne - that's why I've slightly jumped off the bandwagon ... there's no thinking at all ... speed is the essence - no, it is not ... pride comes before a fall. Interesting work you had ... in fact I don't want to go anywhere near this - my brains are in tact. Take care ... as someone I met yesterday said, an American - in four years time we'll recover. Too many stupid thoughtless errors are being made ... good luck to us all - take care - Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks. And I have more fluff posts ahead with book and movie reviews. Just had to post one of these, more to help my brain. Take care
