INDIA AMAZON WORKERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO STRIKE

INDIA AMAZON WORKERS STRIKE

By: Derek Varsalona

In an effort to secure workers' rights, the Amazon Workers in India went on Strike. They are on strike for better wages and working conditions in India.    

Amazon is a big international company. It should pay its workers a living wage. But a wage is what the free market can bear and what your employer feels is the benefit of your work. That determines your salary and whether you get raises.   

Amazon has the right to pay its workers what they want.  The workers have the right to strike if they feel that their productivity is not being met with a fair wage.  The workers have the right to strike for better wages, but at the same time, Amazon has the right to fire or lay off those workers if striking.  As always comments accepted.

DON'T TRAVEL TO CHINA

DON'T TRAVEL TO CHINA

By: Derek Varsalona

I'll admit that for a while I wanted to go to China.  But after the coronavirus was brought from China into the world, I now have second or even third thoughts.  The State Department and President Biden issued a travel advisory for China but brought that from a level 3 to a level 2.

I do not think I am ever going to go to China.  Not after what they did by sending Covid into the world.  Call me prejudice.  But the fact is that China needs to pay for bringing Covid into the world.  The way we can make them pay is to put harsh tariffs on China which I think we are already doing.

China has released American hostages.  That is a good thing.  Do those prisoners have coronavirus?  The fact of the matter is China has yet to pay for the coronavirus that has killed people and has personally affected my family.

In the end, China has not paid for Covid.  The least we can do is get into a trade war with China that we know America can and must win.  As always comments accepted.

TRUMP IS RIGHT TO IMPOSE TARIFFS ON CHINA

TRUMP IS RIGHT TO TARIFF CHINA

By: Derek Varsalona

I applaud President Trump for taxing China with a tariff. China warned America and President-Elect Trump not to put additional tariffs on the country, causing a trade war. However,  the fact is that these tariffs are the punishment for China bringing COVID-19 into the world. As of yet, China has not paid for COVID-19. Now, they finally will.

China pressed President-Elect Trump not to impose additional tariffs on the largest nation in the world. What did Trump do? He essentially pointed his middle finger in China's direction. Well, that's good for him.

I do not mind a trade war with China.  Yes, it might be bad for our economy in the short term but in the long term America will prosper and China will become weaker.  This is a great punishment for China for bringing COVID-19 into the world and killing people.

China warned President Trump not to impose tariffs.  President-elect Trump did not listen.  He will impose tariffs anyway with a 10% tariff on the additional tariffs already on China.

America needs to do this to stop its trade imbalance.  It also needs to do this so that China can pay painfully economically for the pain it caused the world with the coronavirus.  As always comments accepted.

DOES THE US GOVERNMENT REALLY WANT A HEALTHY AMERICA?

DOES GOVERNMENT REALLY CARE ABOUT PEOPLES WEIGHT?

By: Derek Varsalona

Does the government really care about people's weight?  Face it America we have a weight problem.  I  know it is hard.  It is hard when you have a McDonalds on every Corner, and right next to it about 2 miles down the road is a Burger King.  The fact of the matter is that America does have a weight problem.  Now, President Biden wants to fix that.

It is not the government's responsibility to fix my weight.  Thanks but no thanks.  That is between me, my family members, my doctor, and the scale, of the dreaded scale.  The fact is I have been doing good with my weight by constantly working out, three miles a day in the pool, going to the gym, and eating right.  The less I weigh the less I need to eat.  I went from 220 to 197 in a few short months.  I didn't need the government to tell me I needed to lose weight.  I needed my doctor.  

I am on Medicare since I won my disability case. I do not need the government telling me what type of supplements to take or checking in on me and my weight loss goals. That is between me and my Doctor, not between me and President Joe Biden or incoming President Donald Trump (who could lose weight).

I think it is great to expand coverage of anti-obesity medications.  But really what is the government trying to do.  They are trying to get Americans addicted to medications so the government can make a higher return in profit and/or Big Pharma can make more money in the long run so the politicians can get bigger campaign checks. 

Yes, I agree, Obesity is a chronic disease.  The government is not in the business of trying to stop this.  The government wants more people to be sick.  The more sick people there are in America the more people need Obama Care.  Yes, the government appears to try to help but like Elivs said they are the devil in disguise.  The fact of the matter is the Democrats want people to be sick since they can show a need to expand the Affordable Care Act. 

The drug companies want people to be sick.  It is how they make a profit.  They profit off your misery and misery loves company.  Yes, Obesity is a disease.  The fact of the matter is that the government does not really care.  The government wants people to be sick.  They want people on government health insurance the more sick people there are the more need for Obama Care.  Also, it is easier to stay thin when a McDonald's and Burger King is on every corner.  As always comments accepted.

BIDENOMICS DID BIDEN IN

BIDENOMICS IS KILLING AMERICA

By: Derek Varsalona

Bidenomics is killing the people in America.  Inflation is still rearing its ugly head and President Biden still does not blame China for the coronavirus pandemic that has killed people and brought down the American economy.  People in the middle class are hurting from inflation as it is a tax on the middle class and the poor.

When President Biden took office the pandemic was out of control and the economy was weak.  The economy is still weak in the wake of the coronavirus.  President Biden does not go far enough to blame China for killing the American economy.

As of right now, people in the middle class and the poor are hurting from inflation.  Inflation is a tax on the poor   President Biden's idea to grow the economy from the middle out will not work if the top earners do not create the jobs.  The top earners will not create jobs since the taxes on them are too high. When President-elect Trump takes office things will change and I can assure you that the economy is going to get better once you have a former businessman in charge of the economy instead of a career politician.

President Biden has done work.  But the work he has done was only for Democratic causes.  He rebuilt our crumbling infrastructure, produced a clean energy economy, and brought manufacturing jobs home.  Unfortunately, that did not pay off for Vice President Kamala Harris as the unions went overwhelmingly for President Donald Trump.

President Biden has brought home $1 Trillion in private sector investments.  The problem is that people are not feeling it.  It has still not tamed inflation which is still high.  The fact of the matter is for all the good that President Biden has done Americans are still hurting.  The fact of the matter is it is Bidenflation with Biden's spending that did him in.  The way forward for the economy is to let the private sector invest and stop government spending and investing while cutting social programs.  The best way to get people back to work is to have a welfare-to-work strategy, where people are forced to either look for work or look for a volunteer job to obtain government benefits.  That way everyone takes from the government and everyone gives back to their country.

The economy can grow again under President Trump.  That means we cut spending, we cut government programs and departments and we cut government spending.  As always comments accepted.

THE WORLDS CORRUPT CLIMATE DEAL

U.N DEAL SOCIALIZING THE WORLD 

By: Derek Varsalona

It may just be that the entire world is now socialist on the climate. The United Nations struck a deal that the world's richest countries are going to have to support the poorer countries in the climate crisis. This means America, the world's richest country, is going to split most of the bill. That seems to be unfair, while the poorer nations have a free ride and do not contribute much to society in terms of climate change.

This is a bad deal for America.  But the socialists are going to love it.   The deal will weaken America's standing in the world.  We will no longer be the American powerhouse that we once were.  But I am not that worried, since President Trump and the Republicans are going to get us out of the agreement just like we got out of the Paris Climate Agreement once.   I suspect we will also escape the Paris Climate Agreement again.

I am not saying that America should not help.  We should, but what has happened is that America has gotten bullied into this climate agreement since America is the richest country in the world.  That means our taxes are going to go up.  Now what President Trump can do is lower taxes and then say oops sorry we do not have the money to make our end of the agreement.

Also, who is tracking where the money is going?  These countries can use the money for other needs and the corrupt leaders could pocket the money.  I do not think there is any oversight and that is concerning.

As of right now, $300 Billion is due by 2035.  That money is coming from taxes.  But more importantly, that money is coming from rich nations like America.  The money spent on fire and floods I think is going to have very little oversight.  America was bullied into this deal and President Trump is going to get out of it.  I think what President Trump is going to do is lower taxes and then say we do not have the money to make our end of the deal. Touché.

RUSSIA LAUNCHES AN ICBM

RUSSIA LAUNCHES ICBM AGAINST UKRAINE

By: Derek Varsalona

Russia launched an ICBM at Kyiv on Tuesday.  It is heartbreaking to see the consequences of war and the weapons of mass destruction used in this war.  With that being said America should not be taking sides in this war as I am a fraud that Dictator Vladimir Putin is going to use these weapons on American interests shortly on the American homeland or abroad.

Russia launched an ICBM on Ukraine over the night.  The American response to this should be both condemnation and neutrality.  America has not learned its lessons from Afghanistan, Iraq, and September 11, 2001.  Problems occur at home when America is involved in other people's national affairs.  America is already engaged in the problem at hand as we are supplying weapons to Ukraine.  This is the wrong move to take in the approach to the war.  The Americans should be acting like a neutral party that is a negotiator with the United Nations.  It is ill-advised for President Biden to be supplying weapons to the Ukrainians.  

The reason why America is supplying weapons to Ukraine is simple.  We do not want to see the next USSR be reformed.  But Dictator Putin is a power-hungry man and he wants to see the old band get back together and call it the USSR once again that is the end goal of all of this.  See this is not about Ukraine.  Once Ukraine is finished then Putin will go on to Estonia and so on and so forth until the USSR is reformed.  See the end goal is to get the USSR back together.  Putin wants to get the old band back together.  This is not America's job to stop the Russian aggression.  For once America must not get involved in other people's affairs, it is Europe's problem not the United States.

JOE BIDEN DISSED AT G-20 SUMMIT

JOE BIDEN SNUBBED AT G-20 SUMMIT IN BRAZIL

By: Derek Varsalona

President Joe Biden can be singing the blues. He should go visit the statue of Christ the Redeemer for a blessing. This week at a G-20 Summit in Brazil there was a photo op to be taken with the world leaders.  Who was missing?  President Joe Biden of course.  The White House was quick to blame logistic issues for the mishap.  But this was no mishap.  The photography selectively took President Joe Biden out of the picture of world leaders cementing his status as a lame-duck president.

Face it the world is done with President Biden.  This photo proves it.  The photo means no one is concerned with what President Biden has to say anymore.  He is a historic relic that is a thing of the past.  He is old news.  No one cares what President Biden has to say and this proves that he is no longer the leader of the free world.

President Biden did this to himself when he dropped out of the race.  President Biden miscalculated politically when he dropped out of the race.  Maybe his dementia is making him miss future appointments?  The fact is that the world could care less about President Joe Biden.  It is sad really, to say the least.  As always comments accepted.
