Weekend…. Kool-aid Rehab.... Recess!
Funny,
offensive …. I really don’t care.
Since this
blog is my opinion and my opinion alone – I raise my glass
of Kool-aid to the 1st amendment!
With that, I am reflecting on life from my own
vantage point (a fox hole) and it’s not very pretty.
As many of
you know, thanks to our rotten economy, the job market sucks for the over +50. Opportunities today are now few and very far between. Most people I know have
been in a bad mood for years, chronically depressed and fully stressed-out.
Age-discrimination
is rampant for anyone over the magical age of 50. People like me know even as a
modern-day 'organ donor', it’s still not a good-enough match to be seriously considered
for a 'real' job with benefits. For that reason, experienced hard-working
talent is struggling and starting over – trying to figure out what to do when they ‘grow-up’
and being 'a greeter' at Walmart is not on their short list. Too young to retire, can’t downsize because
home equity is gone….it's a pathetic quagmire.
When you are
older and kicked off the proverbial job-carousel under labels like ‘position elimination’ … you’re toast –
crispy and burned! For some odd reason, this paradigm seems to
exempt politicians and the Catholic Church hierarchy.
The only
older ‘talent’ I see ‘working’ on a regular basis looks like this; usually a guy in a dark suit, driven around in an ominous black
unmarked vehicle -- some with
security, some without, young people scurrying around behind them....
most
are pasty color- gray hair, wire glasses and puffy faced…. Some are tan-sprayed and many are in
need of ‘getting off their asses’ (!!!) I’ll bet you’ve already figured this out …. Yes, it’s our elected officials …. great at talking - fabulous on spending and amazing at programs that benefit themselves. What a gig! talk, talk, talk.....sound bites and photo opps!...... they all need to be fired!
They fight
like children in a sandbox – grabbing toys for themselves ($$$) - give speeches with the
mentality of ‘Look-at- me!, ‘Look-at-me!’(like kids in a pool) making sure everyone knows just how brilliant they are. 
It reminds me of a really bad reality show only you can’t turn it off because their decisions ultimately affect everyone.
If you happen to be someone who is selling something (a product or a service) this crazy uncertainty flows downward in the way of consumer confidence. When people feel bad or uncertain of their future.... consumers cut back on spending --- which then cuts back on demand for things, then everything is discounted.....and SURPRISE! jobs are eliminated! can we all say 'DUH!'??!! Have the experienced learned nothing along the way?
Americans
need to know that the people they have elected have their backs rather than
their faces in a trough feeding themselves with money and so-called influence.
In the
latest debacle of ‘leadership’ under the fancy term 'budget sequestrestion' - where everyone needs to be impounded .... here’s a suggestion; and it’s not even a divine
intervention--- We need a system where an elected official's pay is immediately cut (like ours) by 75% and
where they too, can get ‘ww.shi**y insurance.com’.
If that were to happen, they would have a stampede to a conclave to get
the job done – like quick.
Speaking of
conclaves (and a wider view of our world)... While many humans are literally starving on our sad planet, this is what I am
observing, again with another group of mature males;
I’m seeing a
bunch of old dudes in long black robes with wide colorful sashes.... embellished with red and gold finery
wearing matching red yamakas playing dress-up. .... and I'm not making this up!
They are all shuffling quietly to be in the
presence of another really old dude
sitting on a throne wearing designer red shoes (Prada, of course), in a white yamaka wearing a fancy gold ring and other fashion accessories. What a gig! And this stuff has been going on for three millenniums!….. wouldn’t Jesus be proud? No holy water here! Must be blessed Kool-aid.
Now, this guy, (the really old dude) who I know is keeping a big secret (shhh...) is gracefully bowing out of his gig for retirement …. Hmm? gold watch? and this is his departure; ... leaves work in a custom-made Mercedes ‘Pope mobile’…. To then board his private helicopter to be whisked away to his hillside private castle overlooking a beautiful lake surrounded by villas and lush gardens. (ok, I’m jealous – who wouldn’t be?!)
Now everyone is waiting to see the 'smoke' signal (powdered Kool-aid) for the grand announcement of the next old dude - it will probably be pinky-red-colored-smoke to match their yamakas. As luck would have it, the guilty (Cardinal O'Brien) has decided to not be 'a distraction' to this process- so it won't be long! So honorable is he.
