My Life on this planet.

When selfish powerful people are in power, people will suffer. We're walking backwards in time, at least for now. Yes, contraceptives should be promoted as the first solution against pregnancy so the numbers of abortions can be as low as possible. But, rape, serious illness of unborn baby or the pregnant mother and in some cases even unwanted pregnancy may all justify abortion. And now in Alabama, the opponents of abortion introduced a very effective ban : 99 years imprisonment if doctors act and thus few may do, even when an abortion may be the only way to save a woman's life. Only 25 persons, all white men, introduced this ban . On the radio I heard a black man saying that now children, his daughter, who are raped will have to look at a child they didn't want and that will remind them about the horror that happened and this why the child exists. These white guys are discrediting many things we have today because white people introduced them such as the right for abort...

Unfortunately. In 2011 violent clashes in London and then Brexit in which the poor voiced they anger against a capital that only wants to have fun but doesn't bother to look after people in the rest of the country and even closes its eyes for the poor in the capital and thus frustrating many. Then Paris and other cities in France where yellow vests protest against the growing inequality where the have-all really have so much they can single-handedly pay the restoration of a nearly burned down cathedral. And now protests in Berlin when people protest against shops where hamburgers cost 8€ while cheaper shops close down. And Aldi may ethically not be too bad as it sell products cheap so the difference between cheap production and sale-able products will be smaller compared with many with larger margin so poorer but also ordinary people can buy food. Everywhere when ordinary people clean-up an area, more wealthy people start to move in because many things are going on. ...

Wednesday, 01/05/2019, labour day. The day of the left, socialists and communists. As a response the Catholic invented their own labour day, Rerum Novarum. Indeed, divide and rule. Regularly, people discuss the reasons for the decline of socialist parties in many countries. And in the countries where they don't decline, mainly in developing countries, opponents do whatever is possible to remove the left from power, even when this means to impoverish the country, so often the rulers become dictators to remain in power and then of course there are justified reasons they can be removed. Still, I can think of a few reasons why socialism in the West declines (I repeat, my opinion). I don't mention communism because that is/was an extreme form that in normal situation is unlikely to become a main party although a comparison with extreme right shows politicians don't understand why they're opposed to extremism. Socialists often have links with unions and ...

Unfortunately but statistics show I'm not talking nonsense. The poverty division in Western society starts to reverse: pensioners now live a good old age as their poverty likelihood goes down. This is because they lived in the golden time, in general from mid 60s until about the 90s when they could afford relatively cheap houses while both parents worked to maintain smaller families so they could save in pension funds that didn't exist before but also in normal savings and even invest in shares during periods that stock exchanges made big profits because of the appearance of all the new technologies. An example. I remember a time when houses costed between 1 and 4 million Belgian francs, i.e. between 25 and 100 thousand euros as many people don't realise how "cheap" (although with high interest on the mortgage to repay) because of the new current in the EU. Today, people have to search hard to find something that costs only 100 thousand euros and in cities even ...
