Nearly 15,000 employees are earning poverty income level NMI-wide. It\u2019s salaries between $15K and $18K per year and most employees are stuck in these categories.<\/p>\n
I recall the administration announcing plans to improve this issue to a decent level. But I haven\u2019t seen it implemented yet.
\nThe ball is on your side of the court, so to speak. Employees have yet to see Santa come into the harbor in his canoe! Or does his itinerary include a quick stop this Christmas?<\/p>\n
Resetting<\/strong><\/p>\n Local Democrats have decided to take an early start in preparing for next year\u2019s midterm election. It seems ready for real time tango on people\u2019s issues, quiet the landscape may be.<\/p>\n It brings some sense of excitement for new ideas that address people\u2019s issues in the villages.<\/p>\n I\u2019m interested to hear educated discussion on the resolution of poverty income and other major concerns. Let\u2019s see how many of the politicians are conversant in this and other collateral issues.<\/p>\n It\u2019s timely to rein in some sense of purpose and mandate all Da Boysis to support improving the quality of life at home. We need some solid and realistic plans on this score. Must liberate your little self from chiming the usual adolescency, \u201cnot yet, already.\u201d<\/p>\n Indeed, simple folks know that \u201cscarcity\u201d is a \u201cdiscouraging\u201d word for they live it, daily. This must improve and it needs leadership.<\/p>\n There\u2019s the promise of brighter tomorrows but it comes with the shift of people charged with the disposition of local affairs. Voters decide when it\u2019s time to change exhausted followership to bold and creative leadership! Biba Marianas! <\/p>\n Main<\/strong><\/p>\n The chief complaint of low poverty income wages and salaries here is a realistic setback for families. What\u2019s the single most vital issue behind this complaint? Quality of life!<\/p>\n Our people aspire for the means to build decent and safe family homes, food, clothes, and other basic filial needs. As it is more than half the time the family purse is empty, therefore, a nightmare they have to endure daily.<\/p>\n The key word is \u201cbasic\u201d\u2014just to make it through another day. Is this a term you could understand without looking disoriented while wringing your hands to allay personal fear for snoozing on the wheels? It\u2019s all about depth of perception and conviction!<\/p>\n Truthful<\/strong><\/p>\n The literal expression of hardship is hard to ignore, knowing it\u2019s truthful sentiment hailing from poverty conditions in family homes across the archipelago.<\/p>\n Those elected (29 legislators, two in the administration and Cabinet people) tasked to dispose of people\u2019s issues aren\u2019t necessarily poised to resolve the mounting mess, dazed and confused.<\/p>\n Nor do I expect reasoned answers on why the deepening mess and plans to resolve it. Whatever happened to depth of perception and conviction? Do we continue intoning \u201cque sera?\u201d<\/p>\n The issue is treated like a filthy leper roaming the villages. Some are willing to help but equally fearful of being infected with the lethal disease. Do we really have the gall to ignore the needs of the leper seen all over the villages?<\/p>\n Decreases<\/strong><\/p>\n Meanwhile, folks have also heard of major economic contraction (decreases) that robs of any opportunity for more family income. It makes for a confused landscape, e.g., economic contraction amidst loud protest for improvements on family income.<\/p>\n The echo of far less for far more gets louder by the day. Downward spending adjustment is the only wise option at this point for families. Is forced poverty the only answer from Da Boysis?<\/p>\n It\u2019s one difficult challenge navigating scarcity. The obvious query is how could this be improved? The answer: Ask Da Boysis! Let\u2019s hear some realistic answers premised on fully thought-out economic plans. <\/p>\n Taxes<\/strong><\/p>\n Some legislators aim more broth for small businesses in the form of taxes. Goes to show they never took Economics 101 or simple apprehension what the issue entails.<\/p>\n When small businesses are literally in dire straits, is there really an opportunity to grow when nearing bankruptcy? Why would you impose more taxes on small businesses owned by foreigners? How about some appreciable sense of equality and fellowship? <\/p>\n Broth<\/strong><\/p>\n Returning to the internet, there’s the immigration and gun control legislation currently under debate in Washington.<\/p>\n The combined argument is analogous to too much broth where too many cooks spoil the recipe. We stare at it, pondering if it’s even safe to consume. Too many chefs on a pot of soup! <\/p>\n Poop<\/strong><\/p>\n Interesting how Los Angeles and San Francisco, two the richest cities, have devolved into Poop Cities! You find poop or feces everywhere. The entire state stinks!
