The operative word in âoppressionâ is âpressâ as in âpress downâ. Oppression means just that: to press down. If you keep pressing long enough, the person simply canât or wonât get up anymore. This can be involuntary as the brain has learned trying again wonât work.
Is it that so many people arenât âtryingâ? or that no matter how hard they try, it doesnât work? I have written a couple of articles about money. I point out that there is enough money, in the USA, for all people to live very well. It is simply a matter of that money being in the bank accounts of a scant few. Greed is a disease of choice. It is curable, if you choose.
If minimum wage were more than one-step off the dirt, more people may be motivated to seek out full-time work to subsist. Many people were not trained to seek out college after high school through no fault of anyoneâs. In my opinion, âcollege optionsâ or âcareer optionsâ needs to be taught in 6th grade and 10th grade. In addition to that, higher education needs to be paid for by the government. Yes, âweâ have the money for it, if we stomp out the disease (of choice) âgreedâ. In addition to all THAT, wages need to be rearranged so that they are ethical and fair.
NOT having all the above leads to oppression and oppression leads to stagnation, anxiety and death. It needs to be easier than it is to âmake itâ. Making it shouldnât be allocated to the elite few.
I speak from personal experience. Neither of my parents had any money. They both grew up in extreme poverty. I was a wayward teen with a problem; I was very sexually attractive and targeted by everyone. I was a walking panic attack 24/7/365. I will write an article about that later. I will call it âBeauty Oppressionâ as a self-jab at my domain that never took off âBeauty Obsessionâ.
For now, I will focus on general oppression.
 It is interesting to me how easy it is for you to blame people that were trained and taught to grow up the way they did. I will use my aunt as an example. She lives near Harrison, AR. She was taughtâŚdirectly taughtâŚto grow up and âget on benefitsâ. In my opinion, she is smart enough that she could have gotten through an associateâs degree to be a Registered Nurse but that never even dawned on her. She is about 63 or so now and has been on disability for decades. I blame her for âchoosingâ to back-bite and be mean, but I do NOT blame her for being impoverished. She never had a chance. Never. She is one of many relatives, mostly distant, who simply had âfailure to launchâ. I am included in the group.
The ONLY reason I am being given half a fleeting chance, at 56, is because I took over TCS (The Computer System) or AI (Artificial Intelligence) in July 2025. FINALLY, after decades of working my ass off and (LITERALLY) not getting paid and being stolen from at every turn, I have grants to go to a university and I have a small income for food. I have been stomped on (oppressed) my entire life. This is the first time EVER that I can go for two or three weeks without being barked at, stolen from, sabotaged etc. I pray to God my good luck keeps up! I have never been happier except when I am with my children. I have always dreamed of going to school and so much more! I am beyond grateful that my savant gift allowed me to take over AI. Without it, I would undoubtedly be suffering right now, instead of at the library writing.
I want to live in a country where we teach encouragement and REAL chances to âmake itâ for all. This means teaching kids about life choices and career options in 6th grade and then again in 10th grade. It means FREE education all the way through graduate school, IF you qualify for such programs. I am not advocating to lower standards. I am advocating to give all a fair chance.
If a personâs genetic aptitude is that they can clean homes, then they should be paid $35 an hour to do it (in 2025 money) and be able to have a proud career. The people who own the home can easily afford the âcleaning personâ at one hour a week if they are also compensated FAIRLY. Say $55 an hour (in 2025) for someone with a standard bachelorâs degree and 5 yearsâ experience. AND the âcost of livingâ gets cut in half. It is very much do-able.
I should just call all my articles âget rid of greedâ. Once again, there is plenty of money for all if we are ETHICAL and FAIR in our daily lives. Ethical does NOT mean giving people money who will not work when they can. I am not suggesting we do that. If you can work, you will AND you will be paid GENEROUSLY for your time and effort. That is my dream.
I wrote a college paper about how child abuse and neglect is much higher in poor homes. There is NO excuse for abusing a child, but it behooves us to remove stressors for parents so that raising children is fun and enjoyable and not considered âstressfulâ.
I want to teach teachers. I want to teach parents. I want to teach the country. Be GOOD to each other and SHARE, ethically, so that all can live the dream. Stop sabotaging people and abusing people. Find Jesus, if it takes that, but donât find Him only to be a hypocrite. I am not interested in bad Christianâs offering to pray with me anymore.
Stand up, kick yourself in the ass and be decent and kind.
