As long as people continue to travel (without urgent / serious need or reason), they will continue to put more and more rules on people. Yall keep showing up to play their new game, they will keep the rules the same.
I have not traveled for a vacation/shopping trip or any other such thing in over 2 years, and I will not do so until this foolishness comes to and end. That may be the rest of my life - I understand that, we may still be wearing masks in 2040. They have invented Monkey Pox now, and someone told me that on Oct 15th they are coming out with Bovine-Psoriasis just in time for the November election in the USA in order to boost the number of "mail-in" ballots. Those are the ballots that arrive by special delivery box trucks at 2 o'clock in the morning after the election observers have been send home.
So, plain and simple, yall keeping buying plane tickets and yall will have to keep wearing masks. It's up to you how long you want to keep doing it.
Thank God - long over-due. She has done nothing for her Realm of like 40 countries in decades and decades.
Let us pray that Charles or William will take the reigns and put our Commonwealth back in shape. We sure need somebody.
William and Kate were here the other day. Hopefully if she left Charles to be King - he will take the Crown officially and then hand it over to William. Let us also pray that in no way does it end up in the hands of Harry & Mehgan.
People say we don't need the Monarch because it doesn't do anything. That is not true. SHE didn't do anything in decades.
There is a lot she could have done. She could have replaced all of the Governor Generals in all of her countries and helped to steer those governments (including ours) in the right direction. Instead we have just been left to turn into garbage dumps.
Let us pray that King William takes the Crown in a few months and save us all. We sure need saving and so do most of the other members of the Realm.
"Why do our systems fail to live up to the needs of the people?"
That is the title of this article. Here is the answer, plain and simple:
...Because the people do not care if their needs are met, so the government has no incentive to meet them. The government knows that they will be re-elected into office over and over and over and over and over and over again - so what are they worried about? The people have worries and concerns? Well, that's their problem - not government's problem. Government has no problems - just sit back, collect taxes, talk foolishness during the next campaign and go into office again. Easy.
The curriculum (topics needed to know) for the BJC and the BGCSE are too big. There is no way to cover all of those topics in a sensible manner during the 2 year period. Teacher have to RUSH through topics, so that they can say they "covered" them - which is a real joke. Then in the 2nd year they "review" them - but you can't review something that you never learned in the first place.
Of course, those who make the exams work in CYA mode because they don't want anyone to ask them why a certain topic wasn't included. As a result, in our quest to make our students learn EVERYthing - they end up learning NOthing, in order to please office workers in Nassau so that they can "Yes, it's on the list". The result is our kids are "on the list" of failures.
