On Anti-Semitism
Anti Semitism is an awful allegation and a terrible label. In fact, being “Anti” anything simply because of differences in religion, ethnicity, physical attributes, etc. has no place among freedom loving people in a civil society. Anti Semitism seems to be defined these days as “hostility towards or prejudice against Jewish people”. Interestingly, Semites are peoples from Western Asia and Africa linked together by Semitic languages like Arabic, Hebrew, and Amharic. Semites include Jews, Arabs, Phoenicians, Ethiopians and…
On Government Shutdowns
Thankfully the latest government shutdown, and the longest ever, is over, having resulted in around 750,000 federal employees being furloughed, close to 6000 commercial flights cancelled and countless flight delays across America. Its impact was ubiquitous with widespread disruptions to public services and threats to public health and safety. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the shutdown permanently lost some $11 billion in economic activity, making it the most costly shutdown in our history. It has been noted…
On US-Israeli Relations
After Israel’s stunning victory over Egypt, Syria and Jordan in the 1967 “Six Day war”, America began to view Israel as a strategic ally, a strong partner able to protect U.S. interest in the volatile Arab Middle East, long at odds over the UN imposition of the state of Israel in what had been Arab (Palestinian) land for many centuries. That alliance has blossomed into an iron-clad, no-questions-asked relationship economically, politically and militarily. Such support, while quite justified…
On Gaza – – The final Chapter
This will probably be my last coverage of Gaza because Gaza will unlikely exist much longer. These hapless Gazan’s who were mostly displaced, moved or driven out of their homes in other parts of “Palestine” had the temerity to assume that the land occupied by their ancestors for over two thousand years, where their forefathers were born, died and buried for generations, was their land – – – but only to discoverer it really belonged to another people…
On Biden
Our government is adept, indeed masterful, in taking up causes which are extremely time consuming, excessively expensive, but with little or no redeeming value. Today, we seem obsessed with pursuing a former president, no longer relevant to a future to which our current government should be devoting it’s full time and attention. While no fan of former President Biden, it was clear that he was the victim of aging maladies that possess all of us at some time.…
On America
The greatest country, for sure, bar none But let’s think again, just for fun Mighty rivers bless our land From mountain tops to ocean sand Majestic mountains from south to north With natural resources gushing forth Nature’s parks of every ilk Western plains as smooth as silk Massive forests with singing birds Fertile grasslands with roaming herds Bountiful lakes from shore to shore Natural beauty and much more Yes, our universities are the best Far above all the…
On Gaza & the West Bank
It’s high time that we factor into our Middle East policies the essential Interest of America. To our credit we have protected Israel for decades and that was fine, but our national interest is being severely compromised by our unyielding support for whatever Netanyahu wants to do, even when it is against our own values and contrary to international laws and the United Nations precepts that we largely authored. Israeli actions, which we enable economically, militarily and politically,…
On Regime Change
250 Years ago our forefathers established a unique form of democratic governance where the people, in essence, would rule, adhering to the doctrine of equality and justice. It took another 100 plus years and a civil war for all of us to be included in that promise. Since then America has grown into a major world power with a valued culture, a dynamic economy, a dominant military and a global political power, all of which has made us…
On Euthanasia
Living is not just breathing. Living means having fellowship with family and friends, it means learning and sharing, travel and adventure, joy and happiness, health and mobility, peace and tranquility. It means love of family, of friends and of country. When a person can no longer enjoy these things, when he or she can no longer be a contributor to the joy, the welfare and the needs of others, when there is no hope for improvement, for rehabilitation,…
On Politics
The term “politics” refers to the way countries are governed, and to the ways that governments make rules and laws to manage the human society properly. It comes from the Greek word ‘Poly’ (πoλυ-) which generally means “many.” It is an inclusive word that is kinda all embracing. Today in America, and in many other places, Politics has become more like a war game than a unifying endeavor. It seems to focus more on the Few, not on…
On Representation
Below is a message I have sent to our senator, our congressman and our Secretary of State. Is anybody listening? Does anybody care? You are elected by the people to represent the people. But it’s pretty hard to do that if the people don’t confide in you. So this is one attempt to convey what I and a good many people think. – – – – Just the view of a common man
On the Department of Education
The Department of Education (DOEd) was established as a cabinet level department by President Jimmy Carter in 1979, on the heels of President Lyndon Johnson’s “Elementary and Secondary Education Act” and “Higher Education Act” in 1965. These latter two acts primarily focused on providing funds for state programs, including scholarships and student loans and improving educational quality and access. An earlier version of the DOEd was enacted by congress in 1867 for: “the purpose of collecting such statistics…
On AntiSemitism
Anti Semitism is raising it’s ugly head again. Universities seem at a loss on how to manage student protests that are drawing attention to the plight of Palestinians in Gaza. Some protests are labeled pro-Palestinian, some pro Hamas, some anti Israel and anti semitic, and some other groups are pushing back on all this. And there are always inside or outside radicals ready to take advantage of the chaos to further their own agendas. Antisemitism is commonly defined…
On Political Correctness
It seems we have moved into a new era where we must walk on eggs lest we offend or exclude someone, somewhere or for something. For example, titles that distinguish between male and female is now taboo, old school, insulting and inflammatory. I supposed it is all part of the new-age extremely important movement to be politically correct in all things, and, certainly, we are all the better for it. By the way, who gets to decide…
On the Syrian Aftermath
This week the brutal 53 year old Syrian regime of the Assad family came to an end. Hezbollah severely weakened, Russia, preoccupied in Ukraine, and Iran, suffering major economic and defensive challenges, were unable this time to come to the aid of the regime which for the last 13 years has presided over a divided and conflicted country and has inflicted great hardships on its own people. In spite of what one might think of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s…
On Trump and the Middle East
It is good for a leader to have a cordial working relationship with every world leader. Such relationships can lead to predictability, a more harmonious atmosphere and, hopefully, civil discourse; maybe even winning an ally. Since the six day war in 1967, Israel has been our only strategic ally in the Middle East and our support is seemingly bottomless. Since its inception we have provided some $300B in government aid, most of which was outright grants. We have…
On Gender Issues
When God created this world (or, if you prefer, when things evolved), there was a clear difference in the physical makeup of man and woman. This was not an accident; it was deliberate and purposeful. Men for the most part are bigger and stronger. They were intended to do the heavy lifting for the family. Women were gifted with the ability to procreate, and have greater capacity and patience for caring. Both roles have been and are now still…
On the Day After in the Middle East
The war in Gaza that has raged now for over a year has broad regional implications far beyond Gaza. After the tragedies of October 7th, no one can argue that the defeat of Hamas was not justified. However its defeat does not in itself resolve the long standing issues in the region. As should be evident after 55 plus years, the Arab resistance, we call it terrorism, does not simply cease with the deaths of its current leaders.…
On Israeli/Palestinian Peace
So what could be the elements of a workable, durable Israeli-Palestinian peace plan? Achievement of that objective has bedeviled the world for way too long. It’s high time that world leaders bite the bullet and, if necessary, impose a solution, just as the UN imposed the partition of Palestine in 1947 that created this whole debacle. To me, there are two main components that must be addressed, both essential, neither without pain. Clearly, In this case, the End…
On the West Bank
While the world is focussed on the Gaza war, too little attention is afforded events unfolding in the West Bank. There is a very clear and determined movement to further intimidate Palestinians “to find other more accommodating countries to live in.” Settlers, with Israeli government tacit approval, are widening their illegal settlement footprints, encroaching further on the already truncated Palestinian land. Meanwhile, the IDF is gunning down ‘suspected’ militants, destroying homes and decimating whole towns. The dire developments…
On the Future of Israel and the U.S. in the Middle east
The 10+ months since Oct 7th has unveiled a nasty surprise for Israel and the U.S. Hamas which presides over a hapless Palestinian population of around 2 million people, in an enclave of 140 square miles, has shocked us all with its show of military planning, power and tenacity. How a junta, subject to the rigid controls imposed by Israel for decades, could amass such firepower and sustain the overwhelming barrage conducted by the IDF for the last…
On the Israeli Relationship
In June 1967, in response to growing threats by its Arab neighbors, Israel engaged in a preemptive war against Egypt, Syria and Jordan. In 6 days it pretty much decimated their combined military capability. It was at that time that the U.S. began to see Israel as a strategic asset in the volatile Middle East. Israel was viewed as a powerful, democratic ally that could advance U.S. interests in the region. That relationship has grown into full scale…
On Assassinations
At the end of July, Israel took out two notably bad guys. Ismail Haniyeh, a Palestinian political leader from Gaza and Fuad Sukr, a Hezbollah commander in Lebanon. Just two of the hundreds of their targeted killings since 1967. While few would lament the loss of two ‘terrorists’, one must question the strategic gain from such actions, (which, by the way, are expressly a contravention of international law.) As we have observed in an agonizing number of cases,…
On Netanyahu
Once again the prime minister of Israel was invited to address the joint houses of congress, an honor afforded few foreign leaders. And once again he has asked for more and more support to pursue causes to which we somehow seem implicated but which we have not caused, on which have not been consulted and about which is not in our national interest. Mr. Netanyahu, embattled at home and vilified abroad, reminds us that we are allies and…
On Gun Control
The Surgeon General recently declared gun violence a public health crisis. And that it is. For too long we have allowed this outrage to persist under the guise that any action would be a violation of our 237-year-old constitution. I doubt that our founding fathers intended that changed circumstances should forever be ignored. That’s why they provided for amendments, and we have had 27 of them. Circumstances have radically changed over the years. When the constitution was written, we had…
On the Ten Commandments
The state of Louisiana recently mandated the posting of the ten commandments in public schools, a decision which is being challenged as ‘unconstitutional’ and violating the concept of separation of church and state. In 1978 the state of Kentucky enacted similar state legislation which was overturned by the Supreme Court. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom…
On Protests
The right to protest is enshrined in our constitution. Amendment I (1791) Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. And we have availed ourselves of that right on many occasions. In most instances in our history the object of the…
On US – Israeli Relations
The Gaza war has driven a rather rare wedge between Israel and the current US administration. While the U.S. is supportive of the goal of decimating Hamas following the atrocities inflicted by them on October 7th, Israel’s seemingly disregard and unconcern for the growing casualties and the dire straits of thousands of innocent Palestinians, a large portion of which are women and children, has outraged a good portion of Americans. Our government’s repeated entreaties to conduct the war…
On the Gaza War, Part VI – Tough Love
This is an open letter from President Biden to Prime Minister Netanyahu. “Dear Bibi, We have long stood by Israel in its quest for peace and security, often even at the price of our own national interest. We continue to do so. We have always defended Israel’s right to protect itself and we have willingly provided substantial military and financial assistance to that end. We agree that Hamas deserves to be neutralized and abolished for its despicable acts…
On the Ukraine War
Two years ago Putin’s army attacked Ukraine expecting only token resistance, believing it would be a veritable cake walk. It is rumored that front line Russian troops brought along their dress uniforms for an early victory parade through Kyiv. That was then. Over the last two years, the Ukrainians have put up fierce resistance, surprising the Russians, surprising most of the rest of the world and, perhaps, surprising even themselves. Ukraine has long been seen as an essential,…
On the Gaza War, Part V
To show solidarity with the Palestinian people who are under siege by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), the Houtis of Yemen are attacking U.S. and other western ally’s ships that are within their reach. Various Iranian and ISIS militias are attacking U.S. troops stationed in Iraq, Syria and Jordan. To date over 45 ships have been attacked, and over 150 missile and drone attacks have been absorbed by our troops, with three of our soldiers killed and many…
On The Gaza War, Part IV
As the war rages and fatalities mount to unconscionable levels and as Gaza, this 140 square mile enclave, is being systematically obliterated and as the erstwhile innocent Gazans are caught in the middle of an ongoing nightmare with nowhere safe to hide, calls for a ceasefire and for aid seem to fall on deaf ears. Israel has been a long tern ally. The U.S. has been a reliable, loyal and indispensable partner, helping the country to grow, to…
On the Gaza War, III
Day 95 and the war in Gaza grinds on, with Israeli casualties estimated at 1200 in Israel and an unknown number in Gaza, and maybe 22,000 Palestinians in Gaza, but really too many to count in the chaos that reigns. Israel is bound and determine to annihilate Hamas, which is a justified objective, but at what cost and to what end? The Hamas leadership deserves whatever horrific fate that may await them for the brutal acts of which…
On American Future
We have long considered ourselves a shining beacon on a hill. But our beacon is losing its luster and the hill is eroding under out feet, and we don’t seem to notice. Our borders are an open sieve, our electric grid is outdated and insecure, our healthcare system is costly and unfocused; crime rate is soaring and our prisons are overloaded; our basic educational system is falling behind the rest of the world; our highways, roads and bridges…
On the Republicans
Perhaps the most important attribute of the new administration we will elect next year will be its ability to unite this seriously divided nation. As things unfold around us, it seems that the Republicans are unable to unify its own party, let alone the whole country. The Republicans are supposed to be the G.O.P., Government of the People, yet it is failing to listen to the PEOPLE. A couple examples: – Gun Control: According to axios.com there…
On the Gaza War, Part II
As we await the land, sea and air invasion of Gaza for which Israel is gearing up, and the destruction and loss of life we expect, it is not too early to ask ourselves what are the take-aways from this costly conflict. If we don’t ask and try to discern the WHY, we are doomed to see such tragedies repeated again and again. To simply say that Hamas hates Israel is not enough. It’s no doubt true that…
On the Gaza War
The Gaza Strip is an enclave of Palestinians which has been under Palestinian jurisdiction since Israel voluntarily withdrew its military and its settlements in 2005. It comprises an area of 140 sq. miles, around 25 miles long, and between 4 and 8 miles wide – – – about twice the area of Washington D.C. It has a population of just over a two million people, mostly refugees from parts of Palestine that became Israel after its founding in1948.…
On History
Winston Churchill once said, “History will be kind to Britain, because it is the British who shall write it.” Perhaps it is true that the victor usually has the greater say-so on the legacy of some eventful chapter in which he has prevailed. Yes, This naturally raises questions of accuracy and of possible political distortions. American history may suffer from some of these excesses but in the history books I have read I find our shameful acts are…
On Priorities
I believe most households and most businesses work within a defined budget and set priorities on which expenses are necessary and affordable. Umm. Seems our government doesn’t work quite like that. In their wisdom, they just spend as much as the other party will let them get away with, and then just print the greenback shortfall needed to cover those expenses. How our national debt of $33 Trillion, and counting, will be managed and how we will keep…
On the Presidency
In just over one year, American’s will go to the polls to elect our leader for the next four or more years. What are the attributes that we should be looking for in our next president? Should that person have been tried and tested in government matters over many decades? Must he or she be young, handsome, charismatic, and articulate? How about a successful business person or a veteran? Should he or she lean more left than right…
On Rights
One of the great aspects of our democracy is the attention given to freedom and the rights of the people. The Bill of Rights is the cornerstone of our constitution, and we do a serious disservice to ourselves and to our country if we do not rigorously uphold them. But we face great danger, and a major dilemma, when enforcing the rights for some infringes on the rights of others. Sometimes we forget that “rights” must be enjoyed…
On Waste
We proclaim great unease about global warming, we decry the increasing obliteration of our forests, and we express concerned about the rising costs of just about everything. So what are we doing about it all except wringing our hands? Paper products: Paper equals trees; the more paper we consume, the more trees we cut down, the more carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere. Why? Because it’s cheaper, more convenient for the enterprise – – – & the customer is ultimately paying…
On America
Too often these days we read how other major powers are taking over, surpassing us in so many areas, and eating our lunch. There is some truth that China, in particular, is seemingly making great strides in replacing the U.S. as the “go-to” country, and challenging the worldwide dominance we have enjoyed since the fall of the USSR in 1991. But lest we forget – – – No other country comes close to rivaling us in so many…
On China’s Rise
After WWII, Japan began its recovery making and exporting products that were most often of inferior quality. I recall that anytime we encountered a poor quality product we automatically labeled it as “made in Japan”. For some time “made in China” carried the same portrayal. Not so much anymore. Deng Xiaoping followed Mao Zedong as supreme leader of China in 1978 and is considered the primary architect of China’s emergence onto the world stage. His admonition to his…
On Mass Shootings
Is American at war with itself? Are the streets of America now hardened battlefields? Do we put the lives of our families at risk when we go to a mall or send our children to a school?. I believe that this is America – – “the home of the free”; free to live out our dreams without perils at the hands of the irresponsible, the disturbed and the criminals. So far this year there have been more mass shootings…
On Complacency
The dictionary defines Complacency as: “A feeling of smug or uncritical satisfaction with oneself or with one’s achievements.” Does that sound a bit like America today? Are we just looking back at how great we were yesterday and failing to see where we are today and where we may be tomorrow? Are we so self-confident that we fail to see how the rest of the world is not only catching up, but surpassing us at so many levels?…
On Progress and Such
There are several rather important priorities for America moving forward: Grow the Middle Class. Reduce income inequality. Reduce dependance on foreign sources. Prioritize production over speculative enterprises. Deal effectively with climate change. Reduce wasteful time kids spend on their laptops. All needed and very important undertakings. By the way, these priorities are from Xi Jinping’s “Thought” for China. And guess what: Xi is likely to make faster progress than we ever will. While not endorsing Autocratic regimes, they…
On Vladimir and Xi
In the 17th and 18th centuries China had an unhappy and often humiliating relationship with Russia. Even in 1912 when the Chinese Republic was created, it was too weak to resist the unequal treaties foisted upon it by Russia (and others). In the Bolshevik revolution in 1917-1922 China supported the losing White army. In 1923 the Bolshevik government returned the favor by supporting the Nationalist party, the Kuomintang, against the ruling Beiyang government. Over the years the relationship…
On Ukraine, Russia and China
China is a Goliath with several significant near term challenges. Its economy is struggling with slow covid recovery, an aging and shrinking workforce, a strident, demanding population and a disgruntled client base. Its rapid rise to a dominant world power is in heated competition with the U.S. and, to a lesser extent, with Russia. In Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, China sees an opportunity to engage in some strategic geopolitical actions to rebalance things in its favor. By providing…
On Student Debt
Correction/update (I hate it when that happens) It is commendable that young people take on major debts to better themselves by obtaining a quality education, and it is noble that the government would want to ease the pain of such an undertaking. There are around 45 million students/former students with school debt totaling over $1.7 Trillion. The current administration’s plan calls for qualifying students to receive debt forgiveness raging between $10,000 and $20,000 each. According to the Congressional…
On Student Debt
It is commendable that young people take on major debts to better themselves by obtaining a quality education, and it is noble that the government would want to ease the pain of such an undertaking. There are around 45 million students/former students with school debt totaling over $1.7 Trillion. The current administration’s plan calls for qualifying students to receive debt forgiveness raging between $10,000 and $20,000 each. The total cost of this program is upwards of $20 Billion.…
On Midterms
It is quite usual for the party in power to lose congressional seats in the midterm elections because elections are won on promises made, many of which cannot be (and maybe should not be) fulfilled. The expectation last Tuesday of a broad “Red Wave” descending on Washington in January in a grand parade turned out to be more like a narrow “Red Ripple” arriving in Washington on a Greyhound bus. On the Democratic side it seemed to be…
On Waste
We are fortunate to live in a country of abundance. We have extensive water assets, widespread forests, vast fertile agricultural lands and many God-given natural resources. We are blessed, a country of plenty. But we also have become a country of excessive waste. Maybe not the most wasteful country in the world, but certainly far more wasteful than we can be or should be. Just consider food. We discard well over 100 billion pounds of food each year;…
On Crime
The United States constitutes about 4% of the world’s population but incarcerates 16 % of the world’s ‘criminals’; some two million altogether, more than any country in the world. Is this because we have more bad guys, more effective police system, and our streets are safer? Umm. – We have 22 Federal penitentiaries in America, 74 Federal Correctional Institutions, 8 private Correctional Institutions, 7 Federal Prison Camps and 19 Administrative Facilities, employing nearly 37,000 with an annual budget…
On Family
Suicides rates in America increased 33 % between 1999 and 2019. It is the tenth most common cause of death today and the 2nd leading cause of death in 10- to 34-year-olds. There were nearly 46,000 suicides in 2020, 7000 more than highway fatalities. Why? 40 % of U.S. births are out of wedlock, 43% more than 1990. Today 72% of Black mothers and 53% of Hispanic mothers are unwed; 18.5 million children are raised by a single parent. The…
On Election Fraud
Far too many senior Republicans are still bemoaning the “stolen election.” I don’t know how realistic this claim is, but what I do know is the assertion was inconclusively documented, and poorly communicated. Around 155 million people voted in the 2020 election. It is true that if only about 43,000 total votes in Georgia, Wisconsin and Arizona (a small fraction of the total) had gone the other way, Biden and Trump would have been tied in electoral votes.…
On Gun Control
How long will our do-nothing congress take to the air to express their heartfelt outrage at the senseless killing of innocent children, and then sit on their hands and do absolutely nothing? Why are universal background checks so controversial and so political? Why does any law-abiding citizen need to have large magazine, rapid fire assault weapons? How can a mentally disturbed, 18 year old with known instability so easily obtain such weaponry? Too many atrocities, too many excuses,…
On Abortions
(This is not an issue about which I have any credentials – – – but lack of credentials never stopped me before) The subject of abortions has re-emerged once again as a passionate national conundrum, important in its implications and divisive in its nature. It has repercussions on a broad spectrum of personal issues – – social, health, economic and religious. For some it is a private decision to be settled by, and only by, the family and…
On Manufacturing
We learned in Economics 101 that a successful business must offer the customer the best quality product at the lowest possible price. In the past little consideration was paid on how or from where the product came. So companies, quite naturally, scoured the world for the cheapest materials available that could be manufactured in the cheapest places possible. That seemed to be a win-win for everybody – – – at least in the short run. In essence a…
ON Putin and Russia
Wars tend to galvanize the people and unite the nation around its leadership – – especially when there is perception that evil sources have unleashed an unjust attack on the country’s vital interests. The Russian propaganda machine is alive and well-oiled. Protestors of the war are leaving the country or are suppressed into silence. Polls show Putin’s approval rating is at an all time high. But Putin’s power is not reliant on approval of the people. His power…
On Putin and Ukraine II
There is good news and bad news. The Ukrainians are proving tenacious, brave and effective in resisting the Russian military onslaught. On the other hand, tremendous damage is being done to the country and to the people. Cities are being decimated, innocents are being killed and a serious refugee dilemma is being foisted on Europe. After 4 weeks, the Russian military has been unable to achieve the quick victory and warm welcome promised by Putin. On the contrary,…
On Putin and Ukraine
As incredible as it seems, for the first time in 77 years a bloody war is raging in Europe. Few people (including me) really believed that Putin was serious about invading Ukraine. It made no sense for him or anyone else. For many (including me) it was a bold bluff to extract a few concessions from western Europe. That didn’t happen. So Putin faced two choices, back down and lose face (a non-starter) or invade, hoping for a…
On Putin and Energy
John McCain once said that Russia is an old gas station masquerading as a country. It’s interesting to look at the relationship between Crude oil prices and Putin’s aggressive adventures. Over the last 10 years the crude oil price has averaged about $ 65 per barrel. But look at this: Sep 2008: Russian-Georgian war Oil Price $148 Mar 2011: Russia enters Syria Oil price $134 Feb 2014: Russia annexes Crimea Oil price $122 Feb 2022: Russia invades Ukraine Oil price $98 The Russian…
On Scotus
The Supreme Court was established in 1789 as the third branch of government, in part to provide a third leg in the need for “checks and balances” against government overreach. But to me its primary role is to protect the rights of all, and I mean all, citizens of America. They are not there to protect or promote the rights of just those of their ethnicity, or their religious persuasion, nor are they there to implement the platform…
On Putin
Winston Churchill once described the Soviet Union as a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. Maybe that is still an apt description of Putin – – and then maybe not. To me Putin’s actions, especially now, are quite understandable. I’m not saying justified, but surely understandable. The Soviet Union fracture in 1991 was a dark moment for a proud country whose obsession with power and control was its raison d’etre. NATO was created in 1949 as…
On January 6th
I hope for the day when every national issue will be looked upon, not as a Republican or Democratic issue, but as an American issue to be evaluated and judged on its own merits. The 2020 election was no doubt controversial to many. For sure there were irregularities, as there always are in virtually every election. I don’t think anybody has incontrovertible data that would erase the 7 million vote margin enjoyed by Joe Bidden. The time for…
On Service
I tried to find the antonym for the word service, i.e. the opposite of something we call service. I couldn’t find one. Maybe it’s ‘helplessness’ or ‘disappointment’. Whatever it is we should have a better word for it because non-service, the lack or total absence of service, is rampant everywhere. How many hours do we spend on hold, listening to music we don’t like, to get an answer to a really simple question? We are told the agent is…
