The kids, “duking it out” in an, “argument” here…translated…
On a weekend afternoon, my two sons in their preschool years, were playing with their robots. My older with the red robot, his younger brother, the blue, the two children were chasing each other, flying their robots around.
how you want your sons to, behave…photo from online
Then suddenly, my younger son raised up the robot in his hand, stated loudly, “I’m the toughest!”, his older brother looked at him, a bit, displeased, “you can’t be tougher than I, am!”
My younger, as he’d heard, he’d, fallen silent where he, was, a bit, flustered, not knowing how to, respond, as I stood close by, I’d originally wanted to, intervene, because I feared that they will get into, a fight. And yet, my usually cute to foolish younger son, turned to his older brother, “I’m tougher, you’re, even tougher!”, as his older brother heard, he’d nodded told him, “yep! That’ll, do!”, then, they’d started, playing together, getting along well with one another.
while, more often than not, this is how your sons, will behave toward each, other…photo from online
I’d originally worried the two might get into that, fight, and yet, my younger son’s very agile in his, brains, he surely knew his way to, survive all right! And that was when I’d realized, that the parents should not falsely believe, that the kids are too young to settle their disputes, sometimes, the minor disagreements of siblings, the adults don’t need to, intervene, they will find a way to resolve on their, own; or maybe, this kind of “I love you, you love me, and we don’t kill each other” brotherly interaction, will last, long in their, relating to one another.
As for, stronger? Stronger than stronger? Who exactly, is the, toughest? It really, doesn’t, matter, so long as they’re, both, happy.
This just showed, how sometimes, we adults see the children fight, we immediately want to, break them up, but think about it: what’s the WORST that can happen IF they do fight? Some bruising, some blood even? It’s okay, to let your kids fight with each other, after all, if they don’t fight enough when they were little, how will they get closer as they become, adults? Kids fight to, connect, to establish that you’re my brother/my sister, so parents, the next time your children start getting upset with each other, just do what this mother had done, stand to the side, and let the two of them, find a way to, “duke it out” themselves…
WTF??? So, Africa is NOT the DUMP SITE for U.S. illegal immigrants now? How the Trump government ABUSED the TRUST of people who have legal refugee status, and how he gunned down the judiciary branch, because the U.S. court systems had given many of these who’d been deported to Cameroon refugees statuses, how the FUCK did this shit happen??? Because Trump wants to make an ALL-WHITE NATION, and so, he’s now, PURGING the U.S. of the IMPURE (all of us, who aren’t the RIGHT shades of skin!)…and nobody CAN stop him! Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The New York Times reported, that the Trump government deported nine foreigners to Cameroon in Africa, but, none of them had come from Cameroon, of the deported, many of whom were under the protection of the U.S. State Department, to not get deported back to their own home countries.
the orders from the court, off of YouTube, from SIX YEARS ago, with the court ENABLING Trump…
Many of these men and women were handcuffed, and had shackled around their ankles, and, as they were “shipped out” by Homeland Security from Louisiana, they’d learned that they were being, deported to Cameroon just then.
Most of these immigrants and their attorneys all stated, that as they were forcibly deported to Cameroon, they were kept in the asylum in the country, and they were told by the authorities of Cameroon, that unless they agreed to return to their home countries, they will not get, released from the facility. But they left their own home country to escape war or persecution of their individual governments.
The New York Times reported, that the U.S. had struck deals with foreign governments using exchanges in cash, to deport hundreds of refugees that would not respect the laws of refugee statuses set by the U.S. court systems, returning these people back to the places they escaped out of. This was the very first time that the U.S. had deported the refugees to Cameroon.
Through the phone interviews by The New York Times, the newspaper was able to piece together what actually happened in the clandestine deportation of the refugees to Cameroon, and reviewed the document of many of these individuals, found that many of them have the status of not getting deported back to their own home countries.
Trump does not give a FUCK (and don’t pardon my “French” here…)! Off of YouTube, from only sixteen hours ago…
A thirty-seven Zimbabwe man described this deportation as human trafficking, claimed that he was “tossed like a package to Cameroon.” This man had been living in the U.S. on refugee status for fifteen years. He’d told, that he was arrested by his own government because he refused to serve in the military, then left Zimbabwe, and he feared for his life if he returns back to Zimbabwe.
And currently, there’s unclear information of whether or not Cameroon had received money for taking in these exiles, but based off of the Diplomatic Relations Committee of the House, the American government had already paid over forty million dollars U.S. to the third-nation deportation agreements.
And so, this is how America looked under Trump, it’d become, a SHITHOLE (like how he’d written his own version of the world map???). Trump’s behavior isn’t JUST an international HUMAN RIGHTS crime, because he deported the people who are seeking out REFUGE to the U.S., because they FEARED persecution of their own individual governments, that’s why they are in the U.S. on the refugee status, and, the Trump government deported these people whose own home countries would PERSECUTE them, to this “dump site” in Africa (that’s what Trump uses the African continent for now!), and he’d committed, how many human rights crimes again (???), based off of the U.N., can anyone count? And the EXECUTIVE branch, overrides the JUDICIARY branch’s orders, because these people have the SIGNED court orders to keep them from being deported for protection by the State Department of the U.S.!
How and why the holidays are always a BITCH, for the homemakers, and we can’t wait for the holidays to be, O~V~E~R!!! Translated…
Every year around October, I’d gotten into panic mode, the year is ending, and, the torturous New Year’s holidays, coming my way, again.
I’d had to, plan at least, SIX months ahead for this long holiday.
Trip abroad? No, when you get your holidays off, so does everybody, else, do NOT ever select this time to travel abroad, you’ll only be giving yourselves a hard, time. Take that dual-purpose trip of homecoming and vacation within the country then? Nope, this is, merely, switching the trips aboard to traveling within the, country, it’s the same old, a house full of people, the various relatives, their children taking turns onstage, from the New Year’s Eve to the day before the holidays are finally, over, don’t matter the time of day, don’t matter who it is, those who are blunt, inquired about the wages, about when you’re getting married, having children. Those with the better prodding skills, talking of how the men they knew are having whores outside of their, marriages, and they’d still, remembered labeling the women who are career oriented, and told that we should, focus more on keeping our, families……………I’d wanted to ask: can’t people, bite their own tongues, to pass the New Year’s better?
Especially, the week right before the New Year’s Eve, anxiety shoots through the, roof, and, any word that’s blurted out in the house, can cause a, nuclear grade, EXPLOSION!
The New Year’s Holidays, a GREAT Time for the Insults to Get Taken, Personally
Noises, noises, more, noises, fighting over which places in the house hadn’t been, cleaned yet, debating when to go to the older family members’ homes to wish them a happy new year, fighting over how it’s unlucky to use the scissors, how we can’t sweep the floors, that we can’t, CUSS one another out because we’re angry, to the point of becoming insomniac, because we don’t get to sleep on our own, beds, and thinking about this, I would much, rather, EXILE myself abroad, to spend the cash, at least, I wouldn’t have to, deal with, all this, noise.
Why don’t you play your own games you want to play, cards, mahjong, cribbage, poker, online games if you wish, IM each other, you can also, ask for that, beating too, greet one another for dozens of minutes, while I will, hide in my bedroom, to catch up on the soaps I’d missed during the years, with my ears, plugged, in. But, no peace and quiet, because kids will stary, yelling and screaming, and the relatives would tell me, “please allow me to leave her/him in your room for a short bit, I will be back soon!”, you want to go out to get a fresh breath of, air, I’d wanted to post that “no visitors” sign out front. So, what is it that I owed to you? That I should allow you to, place your kids at my home.
I, without a formal work title, truly hope, that the New Year’s holidays can be fast-forwarded, and the pencil-pushers gave me that, eye roll, “I thought the New Year’s vacations were way too short, you freelancers, just can’t understand the hardship of life of us, pencil-pushers~~”
illustration from UDN.com
And all you working class folks, do you realize, that we don’t get our year-end bonuses, that we don’t have holidays off, that my freelancing seemed to have my freedom of time, that the reality is I don’t get paid for my work? We don’t have our two-day weekends, nor the holidays, and we’d worked for nothing, and people would sour at us, “you look like you have nothing to do.” Do you ALL know our, pains?
The New Year’s holidays of the New Year’s, it’s the short time of the year, that I’d, maxed out on my, cussing, I just want to, be let off the hooks for the, New Year’s.
I hated the New Year’s, can’t I just, have my days that come and go, ordinarily? Just, leave me alone for the New Year’s already, is that too much to, ask?
A housewife like me, who didn’t have enough time to complete all my household chores, because I’m busying writing, teaching, and judging the writings from the submissions, and I’d still had to make room for the course preparation, to grade my students’ assignments, and, those books, those research that I can’t wrap my head around, moved from my living room, into my bedroom, like the crumbs of Hansel & Gretel, with the leads to get me, somewhere, and, now I’m staring at a year’s worth of, mess, how am I to, clean all this, up? First, I shall get a few boxes, pack them all in, pushing the boxes to under my couch, and, I found last year’s boxes, taking up space there. Used the vacuum bags for all my winter thick clothes, placing them into the storage up above my cabinets, at least, that made my room wide, open, and, there were the vacuum bags of previous years inside those, cabinets already……………
Praying for the Counting Down to the Return of My Regular Life to Come, Sooner
Like I’d been saying: don’t compress these rituals of the New Year’s, it shall be very nice, stashing everything in the Clouds, because once that Pandora’s box opened, everybody has her/his own individual, troubles they want to, pour out to each other.
Surely, I can’t do a below-average job in cleaning, to make our living room, sittable for the families who will leave in no more than an hour or, two, since J retired, he’d cut down on my in-law’s lengthy offering practices, but the New Year’s offerings, that should never be, reduced or even, eliminated. From New Year’s Day, the offerings to the God of Heaven at dawn, the offerings to the various deities, in the afternoon, the keeper of our home, in the evenings, offering to the, ancestors, and there’s the grand preparation for the New Year’s Eve meals, half of which had been ordered online and delivered to our, home, the other half, he takes the, chef’s tools to make.
This man I have, who seemed to have worked his hands to the bones, actually loved, cooking, I just, let him do what he’s most excellent at and he doesn’t ask me to make the meals, we keep our corners of expertise, separate, otherwise, we will not hear the end of it from each, other.
why we have the JUSTIFICATIONS, and the RIGHTS to HATE the, holidays…photo from online
It’d felt, that I got, nothing to do, and I shan’t be, too, leisurely, I’d had to, pick up on my mess, removing all things on the large table, so the offerings can be made there, the desk of my master’s bedroom, I’d need to clear it for the New Year’s, and, the two baths, I’d already, done the major cleaning about a month ago, I’d still had to, used that, toothbrush, to scrub away the mold, the water stains that’s accumulated in-between the, tiles.
The thing about cleaning the house is this, one part gets cleaned, making the rest of the house look messy, same for the heart, if there’s something that’s bothering me, the bother stayed. This was, what I’d, gained from the unorderly sweeping, wiping every year, it’s best that I just, turn that, blind eye to it.
Just thinking about it, my good friend, C who also married to the northern part of the country, would start getting stressed out by autumn, the New Year’s coming, again. Will the New Year’s give us, nothing to look, forward, to?
Surely, at least, we get to stay expectant, on how my own New Year’s holidays, are on its, way.
As everybody’s holiday ends, the winter vacation is nearing, end, those who should be off to school, they’re, off to school, those who are returning to work, returned, to, work. I’m waiting for this home to purge itself, to return back to that state of solitary, bliss, when I can do what I want, when I want to, nobody can have an opinion, or anything to criticize. When my cats no longer needed to hide anymore, or to get dragged out by the tail, to greet my, house guests, my cats and I, lazily, with them in my lap, catching up on the soaps, reading the novels, stretching our limbs that were kept locked up in that, tight space for the whole year before out.
As I’d returned to my writing desk, immersing myself in the words, I just, need to, focus on creating these, serenity of the day to day, no need for the ritualistic, nobody to tell me how to live my life, and, entering into this brand new year, with that comfort of mind. And now, the New Year’s vacation for the housewife, begins.
So, this is how, the holidays are, a BITCH, because everyone’s coming over, and you get too cramped, you have to put on that face of, welcome all, and feel the pressures of all of the loads on you, and you can’t find any time to breathe, and you feel suffocated, until, finally, the holidays are, over, and everybody returns back to her/his work/school schedules, and you’re now, finally, alone, and, peace and quiet…it’s, wonderful, isn’t it???
Karma is what this was, and, now, you have your agile, healthy enough body, and your sister-in-law, who didn’t put anything into caring for your in-laws, didn’t, and her children are all, not close to her…translated…
For many years, there’s that, grudge that’d been kept inside, and lately, I’d finally, found my resolves, and was able to finally let go, and stop allowing it to tangle me, up. Since I married, I’d lived with my in-laws, every chore big or small, from the dishes, the floors, to the meal prep for the New Year’s, I’d had to take part in; looking at my younger brother-in-law and his wife who work away, they always arrived right before the New Year’s Eve meal started, and, they got to enjoy the fruits of the hard labors of my mother-in-law and I. And even if my sister-in-law did the dishes, I’d heard her complained on how greasy the dishes were, that she didn’t know how to clean them completely.
In no more than two days, my youngest brother-in-law and his wife left for my youngest sister-in-law’s own family for the second of the New Year’s, and, my mother-in-law would prepare the items for the offerings, the dishes, the year cake…………everything, and packed it all up, had them take with, and said that they are living away, that life isn’t that easy, meaning, that their son and daughter-in-law had it made, that we were getting all the resources from home without needing to put in anything.
And on the second of the New Year, I’d had to help my mother-in-law with the meal prep for the homecoming of her two daughter’s; my mother-in-law thought that my own family is closer, that I can return to visit my parents any time I wanted to, she’d hoped that I wouldn’t return to my own family on the second of the New Year’s to visit, and ordinarily, I’d gone with my mother-in-law’s wishes, to make it easier for her. And still, after the years, it’d caused me to feel uneven, why is it, that their son and daughter-in-law whom they saw no more than a handful times every year they’d treated as treasures, while the son and daughter-in-law who live with them, who was tentative to their needs get treated so, worthlessly?
A few years, my in-laws grew older, with my husband and I, accompanying them, and they’d grown old and passed on. At this time, my youngest sister-in-law had cancer and moved back into the house that my in-laws’ left behind, and became my, neighbor; and as we met up every day, she’d told me weakly, of how she’d, chased after the fame, the fortunes, that she’d not established that connection with the ones she loved, and now she lives in, regret! As her children are, far away from her, and these past years of her in illness, her own offspring rarely paid her any attention, to the point that they didn’t return for the New Year’s, and she is now, all alone.
Seeing how weak she was, I’d consoled with her to take care of her own self, and, I’d felt, pity toward her, and all of my upset that I’d carried all these years, gone in an, instant, why do I still need to hold that, grudge? What would I need to get even, on? Cherishing what I have, all I need is to, live my life, with that, cleared, conscience!
And so, this IS, how KARMA worked, how the younger sibling of your husband’s and his wife, didn’t put anything into caring for your in-laws, and all the burdens of caring for your in-laws landed on you, because you’re the WIFE, and now, as you all grow older, you saw, that everything will be evened out in the very end, and then, you’d, let go of how uneven you’d felt, being the one that needed to take care of your in-laws, plus your own parents too!
When will the people rise, UP??? Had we NOT, had enough of this, BULLSHIT by the CORRUPT political party and ITS president yet?
When will the people rise, UP, and OVERTHROW this, ABUSIVE government? Don’t be so sure, that the people will, rise up, because it’s gonna take a HELL of a lot more, sporadic wrongful deaths, MURDERS for a full-blown revolution to get, started…
When will the people rise, UP? I hope it’ll be, soon, as DEMOCRAZY is under attack, these countries that we’re currently living, in, are with the DICTATORS voted into the higher up positions, and they’re now, dominating all our lives, stripping us of all of our, most basic, rights to live free, without FEARS of, persecution!
like, this, illustration from online, with the “blonde” not charged with, MURDER!
When will the people finally rise, UP? Nobody knows, but if we don’t, we are all, consenting, CO-conspirators, who’d, MURDERED, D-E-M-O-C-R-A-C-Y!
Do YOU want to be, responsible, for the DEATH of democracy, in your, separate, countries? Do you WANT to be the, EXECUTIONER, with the black robes, with the hat draping over your, heads, and those, SCYTHES, ready to, WHACK, off of the HEAD of, democracy?
The king’s now, dipping HIS FILTHY hands into the Middle East, like he’d done already in Central America…who made Uncle Sam the world’s BIG DADDY, huh??? As Trump becomes that MASTER PUPPETEERS here! Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Confirmations of U.S.’s Deployment of a Second Battleship, “In Case the Agreement Fell Out”, Trump Evaded Talking about Who Will Take the Highest Position in Leadership in Iran
The American president, Trump confirmed on the 13th, that he is on the way to deploy a second warship to the Middle East, and stated, that if the Iranian government switches power of hands, Trump said, change in power in Iran that “it seems like that would be the best thing that could happen,” that “for forty-seven years, they’ve been talking and talking and talking.”
On the U.S. media press’s disclosing that the U.S.S. Ford will be deployed from the Caribbeans to the Middle East, on the 13th, Trump pointed out first in the WH, “once there’s no deal made between Iran and the U.S., we would need it; it will set out soon. We already have a battleship (the U.S.S. Lincoln), that just arrived. If necessary, we will be ready, this will be, a very strong, army,”; and that deploying the extra battleship there is “in case we can’t reach a deal with them, and the battleships would be needed.”
how the KING demands that Iran does what he wants the country to do…off of YouTube
Trump stated, that he believed that the conference with Iran will be a success, that if it isn’t, “it will be a really awful day for Iran, very awful”. Insider from the D.o.D. of the U.S. stated, that for the U.S.S. Ford battleship and navy to be fully ready to battle, it would take at least a week.
On the 13th, Trump, mentioned at Ft. Bragg, that it’d been difficult to reach an agreement with Iran since the start; “sometimes you have to make your opponents fear to resolve things.” He refused to tell who he wanted to take over as the highest leader of Iran, Khamenei’s position, only stated, “there are some candidates”.
In the past few weeks, Trump had been hinting, that the priority of negotiations with Iran is to get the country to reduce the nuclear development plans. But on the 13th, he’d added, this was only one of the concessions that U.S. made toward Iran; “if we really do this, this will only be the smallest part of the missions.”
Trump thinking he could get Iran to make a deal with him, and THREATENS that something is going to happen, off of YouTube
On how Iran should avoid a war with the U.S., Trump said, “they need to give us that agreement they should’ve given to us back then; had they made a proper concession, then, we wouldn’t have need to use the forces; if the deal is made, then, the American military will leave soon.” On the 13th, Reuters quoted someone who was on the inside, that a new round of Iranian-American, American-Russian conference will be held on the morning and afternoon of the 17th.
And, the director of the IAEA, Grossi on the 13th at the Munich Security Conference said, that it’s not impossible to reach a nuclear equipment facility check with Iran, but it will be “very difficult”.
Once again, Tyrant Trump is dipping HIS filthy HANDS into someone else’s business. I mean, if IRAN wants to develop its nuclear weapons, they have the rights to, besides, IF Iran doesn’t, what would happen if its neighbors or even the U.S., decided to FIRE? Then all goes to HELL “over there”. Trump only wants to obtain ALL the powers, and control things, and why should the REST of the WORLD’s NUCLEAR capability nations BE allowed to develop its own nuclear weapons, to combat a PSYCHOPATH whose goal is to TAKE over the WORLD? I mean, isn’t it HYPOCRITICAL, of the U.S., to TELL other countries to STOP developing their own nuclear weapon capabilities, while it hoards all the nuclear weapons? Because it would make U.S., the TOP, and then, the rest of the world will FALL under Trump’s rules.
When the oppressed finally, REVOLT, can you imagine how fucking (so???) long that this particular “group” of individual had put up with the SHITS dealt to them? I mean, yo DO realize, how there’s that, LIMIT to what WE the SLAVES NO MORE! Can, take, right?
When the oppressed finally, revolt, this is, our, last, resort, because we’d, put up with our fucking (so???) leaders’ LIES, their SHITS, for way too, long, and, we’d had to, pay for our normal daily living needs, at a 120-percent INCREASE from what it’d, originally, cost, us, and, our lives are, getting harder and harder, those of us, who were originally of the, middle class (here comes that, CASTE system!), we’d dropped to the, lower class “range”, and, those who were originally farther below us, they get, pushed down to, the dirt!
With all of this SHIT, you can understand, WHY we, finally, defied these, fucking (your point being???) authority that tell US how we should, live our lives, stay silent, keep our heads low, and work hard for these, food SCRAPS that we can’t even, feed our families, with, right???
When the oppressed finally REVOLT, the forces are to be, RECKONED with, and, the fires from hell will burn up these, soils, take over the world, because, we finally, found our voices, and we’re now, SCREAMING, LOUD!!!
This would be, the, newest “memo” from the Resolute Desk (that’s where the POTUS sits and signs all those, executive orders???)…
We no longer the, PEOPLE, the moment we’d elected that, tyrant, but In Our Defense, we had NO clue he was, so, tyrannical, I mean, he sounded really, genuine, convincing that he was going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN too!
We no longer the, PEOPLE, we’d signed away our basic human rights (as written in the Universal Human Bill of Rights???) away to these governments we are ruled under, and guess WHO are the STUPIDS, who’d, put these, mother FUCKERS (your point being???) into office? It’s US, the MAJORITY of IDIOTS.
a video based off of Nietzsche on how stupidity spreads, from YouTube
We no longer the, PEOPLE, we’d become, ENSLAVED by our, separate governments, and, we still ain’t learned SHIT yet (b/c no matter what dogs will continue to EAT their own POOP, as that’s been, PREWIRED into their DNA!), because we are a species of, less-intelligent than those UNICELLULAR (I mean, c’mon, the paramecia knew how to gravitate toward light to keep themelseves, ALIVE??? And Homo sapiens couldn’t!) living organisms.
We no longer the, people, and, ain’t NO chance in HELL (as the FOUR HORSEMEN had already “come by” to “visit” the planet EARTH already???), we can ever learn, because we are, looped in this, never-ending cycle of STUPIDITY of IF candidate from Party A doesn’t work we all vote for candidate from Party B, C, etc., etc., etc., without knowing, that the problem that has us stuck in this, two-option flip-the-cards, lose-lose of WE the SLAVES here.
And, we get FUCKED up by the group mentality of, shifting our votes whichever way the “shepherd” herded us to run towards…
How she’d worked so hard, raised a son, who became successful in what he does for work, and, she’d lost him to, cancer, because he couldn’t stop his stress-smoking habits! How fate deal this woman a bad hand, and now, she, grieves…translated…
Every autumn, when the news reports reminded how the maple leaves are red like the flames, I’d always, remembered an, old, friend. Her familiar, radiant smiles, I also can’t, erase how distraught, how frail she’d looked the last time I saw, her, with tears streaming down her cheek, the sorrows of a, mother’s.
This single mother who had been divorced, has only one, wish: for her own son to find, happiness, that was what drove her to work her hands to the, bones.
She is very glad, that her son is very understanding, very kind, hard working, studious; she’d been, especially proud of how his professor recommended him to go to Japan to work, after he’d earned his, master’s degree, or maybe, it’s, safe to say, that this young lad who’s achieving all he can, working hard, climbing his own ladder to, success, was what all parents, can ask, for.
It’s just, that the only regret the mother had was, this young man, in his first year of high school, was introduced to smoking by his best friend, and hadn’t stopped smoking since. As she’d consoled with him gently repeatedly, to taking him to the clinics to find a way to get him to quit smoking…………she’d tried everything, and everything had, failed. She’d stayed firm, in this, battle with the stubborn habit, and ultimately, she’d, ended up, losing the, fight.
what she’d made the wishes for her son, on…photo from online
And then, that year, as the maples turned red, my friend went to Japan to visit her son, he was at the most stressful time in working on his thesis then, she saw him with cigarettes in hand, smoking one right after another and another, and another due to the pressures from completing his thesis, because she’d heard that the wishing stones of Fushimi Inari Taisha is efficacious, despite how she didn’t speak a word of, Japanese, she’d gone to the shrine, made three wishes for her son:
First, for him to earn his doctoral degree.
Have a blissful married life with a happy family.
And finally, for him to quit smoking successfully.
His son eventually fulfilled the mother’s first two, wishes, found himself a woman to marry, and had twins, after he successfully earned his degree and found himself a high-paying job. Everything was set.
But, right at age thirty-nine, when his twins turned five, his wife is pregnant again, with his future aglow, too bright, he was on the way to a higher position in work, the son started showing symptoms of coughing, wheezing, short of breath, and started coughing up blood, and ultimately he went in for an oncology exams, and it was, lung cancer, in the terminal stage, it can’t be treated!
Shock, sorrows, chaos………hit this, originally blissful household, like a huge tidal wave, swallowed everything, drowned everything, in.
In less than a year’s time, all the happiness, the blessings, the serenity of the family, hope too, all was, destroyed. It’d left my friend, completely, ruined, other than not knowing how to deal with this, it also made us, all of her friends, not known how to, console with her, how to, help ease her, pains.
To this day, I still remembered, how my friend suddenly had twenty years added onto her, she’d started, ranting, holding on to the urn with her own son’s ashes:
“If he didn’t fall ill with cancer, if he…if…he………”
And, I’d never seen this friend, since.
Don’t know where she’d gone, or, how she is now?
And, as I’d, thought of how every younger generation who’d died like this young lad had, with the parents, and children and wife, it’d brought me to, tears every single time.
The world is constantly changing, too fast too, there’s no way of knowing what tomorrow will, bring! To have a full life seemed to be, that, impossible wish to, fulfill!
And so, this, is how life can be gone in a, split second, granted, this son’s smoking habits, had a lot to do with him dying of lung cancer so young, and, maybe, if he’d quit, if he’d stopped smoking, then, things could’ve turned out, differently, but there’s no second chances, nor, do-overs in our, lives.
How this TRADE negotiation with our BIG DADDY, Uncle Sam opens that DOOR, WIDE, to the rest of the world, so, come on over, and, STEAL everything (all the technological advances, medical developments, etc., etc., and whatever the FUCK this country is originally good at producing) from us, oh, and don’t forget, to bring by ALL your garbage, this SHITHOLE is now, the DUMP site of the world (nuclear contaminated seafood out of Japan, pork with ractopamine from Uncle Sam, and whatever HELL else there may be!)…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Yesterday, Taiwan and the U.S. signed the reciprocal tariffs agreement, the foreign affairs department professor, Huang from Poli-Sci University questioned, that the results of this negotiation is from the DDP’s clandestine pact with the U.S., that, that before the deal was signed, there was NO public hearing or any professional discussion and/or assessment on the impacts it would have on the industries, and the DDP only reported the wins and not the losses from the negotiations to the people.
and, here we have, Uncle Sam without the “covers”…image from online
On how the DDP called this deal reciprocal, benefitting both Taiwan and the U.S., the experts soured, “Trump’s negotiations toward the entire world had been unfair, this is even more so for Taiwan!”, because, no matter how much other countries promised to invest in the U.S., they didn’t give up their lifeline, while Trump demanded that the semiconductor chip production to bring the manufacturing plants to U.S., this is the price that no other countries were made to, pay.
Huang stated, that in this negotiation, the Executive department didn’t negotiate nor discuss thoroughly with the legislative, it’d gone head first, and currently, from the papers posted, we can only see the outlines of the deals the Taiwanese government signed, the DDP stressed that there were more than 2,000 items that are tariff-free, but U.S. said, that only ninety-nine-percent of the industries in Taiwan can export the manufactured products into the U.S. tariff-free, as well as some agricultural products, there’s this disparity of disclosure, the unequal messages being sent and received, the DDP is only emphasizing the gains, and downplaying the losses.
Liu, the director of Regional Development Research Center stated, it’s a trend that U.S. and Taiwan deepened their trade relations, from the export of recent years, this was shown, that there’s a three-times extra export to the U.S., on the contrary, the exports to China had dropped from eighty-percent to only twenty-eight, with U.S. becoming the largest target investment country of Taiwan’s last year, the investment into the Associations of Southeast Asian Nations exceeding the investments in China. But China is still one of the most important markets for Taiwan, at thirty-percent export. And so, what Taiwan needs to think on its, not to lose it, strengthening the trades with the U.S. doesn’t mean that the country is eliminating China as a primary export country of the goods produced here.
An unnamed expert questioned, that the DDP stated that the fifteen-percent with no adding on of the tariffs is a huge success, but, the total cost of Taiwan opening up its markets for American manufactured goods, the DDP refused to speak on, and now, there’s a lot of markets that are about to get opened, “How can this be a successful tariff agreement?”, it’d also caught a lot of the corporations off guard. As for the government’s claims of how there are 2,072 items that will be imported from the U.S. that are tariff-free, which is made up of a lot of items that the U.S. doesn’t produce itself.
this is, the FUTURE of this, SHITHOLE island…photo from online
The scholars stated, although the open market isn’t as all-inclusive as the free trade agreement, but U.S. chose the items that are high tariff items, or the items that would compete with U.S.’s own manufacturing industries, this will be a huge HIT for the free trade, and once this is opened up, we need to prevent that some of the countries may “get a free ride”, and import their countries’ manufactured items, tariff-free into Taiwan.
There were also the criticisms from other experts, that U.S. demanded that the most fundamental of Taiwanese industries to move to U.S. and invest, “this is the MOST unreciprocal toward Taiwan”; as for the items that Taiwan had opened as tariff-free for U.S. importing, the other member countries of CPTPP may ask the same rates as Taiwan fights to enter into the regional trade agreements, this will greatly reduce Taiwan’s means of bargaining.
And so, this is, the LONG-TERM effect that the DDP FAILED to note, once the doors of lowering the tariffs of whatever the FUCK our BIG DADDY wants us to lower in the tariffs of goods coming in (not to mention how this FUCKING SHITHOLE is already filled with the pork with RACTOPAMINE from our BIG DADDY already!), this sets a bad precedence, because Uncle Sam got ITS way with us, so why shouldn’t the other countries of the world, huh? We’re still at the very BOTTOM of the FOOD CHAIN here, all because the DDP government falsely believes, that U.S. will save us when (no longer an “if and when” here!) China INVADES!
