Bernie! Bernnnniiiiieeeee!

With the election coming, the canidates seem to be as any year, the best of the worst.

But for some, especially the younger generation, Bernie Sanders was a light in a tunnel of darkness.

Younger people, and socialists alike gathered around the cause.  Lets have free education, free childcare, free healthcare.

Normally Im not too political.

Mainly because its a wasteland.

But people got behind this idea of a candidate who would give them, and their daily lives what they wanted, what they needed, what they deserved.

I am not one of those people.

With education specifically, I paid my fair share, my 100k plus.  And I'd like relief from that, or to have never had that at all, by different life choices, i.e. the military or just hard work, or even better, and education funded by my parentsn at least partially as I am attempting with my son.

But a free education is not something that is feesible.

What happened to working towards a goal?

I hate the hard work.

I work 7 days a week for it.

Blue and white collar.

But as a society, as an American Capitalistic society, progression is possible but not a total overnight transformation.

This is America and we believe anything is possible, especially overnight transformation.

Fat fighting, plastic surgery, Get Rich Quick schemes.

You name it, we as Americans have embraced it.

But thats a lie and momentary fleeting feelings and lifestyles.

Leaving us wanting more.

We are already offered healthcare, social systems such as primary education and safety, Obama phone, food if we need it, the postal service, financial services for secondary and post secondary education.

And frankly, if we want free college, free healthcare, free daycare, and anything else our hearts desire as free, we're just working to turn the rest of our lives over to public systems.

Public systems that don't work right, are over or under funded depending on the politicians, even Bernie.

Public systems like my community which left to its own accord is in massive debt, has an abysmal school system, and growing social issues.

Public systems dont improve our society, they slow it down.  Innovation is slowed, if theres any room for it at all.  Efficiency lacks.  Progress as a society is left to the government when it should be left to the people.

Hope is a good thing.

Change for the better is a good thing.

Dramatic societal change such as free education and $15 minimum wage are impossible realities from the base we have now. 

There is a better future but WE have to work for it. 

The collective WE.

Us as individuals.

Not the government.

And certainly not Bernie Sanders.

Holiday work

Blah.

But its a must when faced with a financial burden and no other financial outs.

Its not the end of the world, heck, as Americans we should #1 be grateful for work #2 know we have it much better.

But, in our small worlds, they mean family, food, better times than most, even if just a day off.

Not on holidays here at the 100k plus mark.

But many professions have that stipulation.

Most of my family are nurses.  They are always needed and must work some uncomfortable holidays.   Life goes on.

I guess Im trying to convince myself of that, even with the knowledge of a greater being and person.  A day off is a day off.

Im currently trying to convince my wife to become a nurse, which is somewhat hypocritical as I would never want the anytime anyday work week. Maybe more varation on the 9-5 work week but either way, I'm not up for the task.

Well back to the point of us as Americans are blessed to have the opportunity to work, and choose that work.

Holiday work falls in line with the social policies us as Americans are blessed with.

Seriously.

Blessed.

Other countries do not have a 40 hour work week written into the law.

You work holidays.

You work the day after you have a baby.

So 100k plus is bad, and Im certaintly kot going to stop bitching about it, until kids dont have to endure that excess.  But its not that bad.

I was going to go into a blue collar/white collar thing, but us, with 100k plus who are lucky to have jobs are certainly blessed.

It's over-used but it's true.

We're blessed.

(Overly positive message for Easter! ....bitching will resume at an irregularly scheduled date)
