What is Wrong with this Picture?
A young lady has problems fitting into a "punch the clock
world", of you have to do it just this way and hurry up while you are at it.
She finds a job emptying a bucket. This she can do and the
people she is serving like the job she is doing.
This Job is paid for by the benevolent mandate of the collective
"state", from money stolen from the people who the state works for. It sounds like a good Idea to train people to
help them do a better Job of emptying a bucket.
A bunch of PhD's working for the "state" think up
all kinds of things that a person who empties a bucket needs to know; for example the procedures
on how to empty a bucket in a safe, clean, well ordered way and other safety
matters. On paper it all looks good and EVERYONE
AGREES that this is the way it should be done. People have been doing this for years
without a government mandate on these same procures any way, but we just want everything to go according to the "Now Mandated" regulations.
In order to be better trained in proper bucket use procedures, the Young lady who is not working or getting paid yet, needs to shell out, to
pay an overworked and underpaid person to show her how to properly empty and
clean the bucket, and pay even more money to take the test to prove she is qualified.
The young lady is given permission to start work with the understanding
that she has to pass a proficiency test to show she is qualified in proper
Bucket handling and other equally difficult tasks, that she may be call upon to
assist an older person.
The lady starts working and is doing a far better job than
many of the people, who came to empty the bucket prior to the mandated training being put in place.
The young lady wastes no time in going to and shelling out
for her classes. She then runs into a, "She doesn't fit in again and no one knows the way to get it all done yet" new
program of government intervention.
Everyone one says she has to call another person and that she will be
called back because she does not have a computer or the knowledge to run one if
she did. This is terrible, how dare she be
so stupid and be late in trying to figure it out despite her efforts to yell for
help as best she could.
The Guillotine falls.
Three days before the end of the mandated term allotted to comply
with the regulations all parties are notified that the day of the cut off has arrived
and they sent in a lady who most likely would have had the same problems since
she is from out of state and has language understanding issues. But since this
person was working before the mandated testing she is test free and thus more qualified
anyway.
Bam! You are out, go eat dirt, file for unemployment, and welfare, or starve. After all it is now the "WE
JUST MADE IT UP LAW, and the full
weight of the benevolent government will not allow you to have any reprieve, because it is all in the book written by the PhD's." There were no provisions written in the law for best
effort failure, due to her or anyone else not understanding how to get it done
in the given time. Not with standing, there are other programs long established that do allow
for clemency if good faith effort has be demonstrated.
Now unemployed and after all the strings are finally pulled and with
all the run around over she is finally given at least a test date. "Better late than never", they say.
DESPITE THE FACT that the young lady takes her tests and is
told that she is one of the best in her practical test, she still missed her
written exam by one question and is fined another fee to retake the test she and remains unemployed.
DESPITE THE FACT that the people who she is to server like
her work and has been one of the best that has ever come to help
After all it is the LAW and the LAW must be obeyed. No one is above the LAW not even
those in congress unless they can get their colleagues to judge
it differently and if they can figure out what the word "IS" means.
DESPITE THE FACT that the LAW is not a LAW but a civil
statute and not subject to punishment under the law where the accused is afforded
a trial by jury.
I guess it is this sort of thing that has given rise to the
Neo-Tea Party Moment" in the first place which is finally holding the Republican feet to the fire
and refusing to allow the Republican capitulation, that passes for the only form
of bipartisanship.
