Your Mother is the ONLY VIP; The Only Person That Matters

 

As my mother constantly reminds me, without your mother, you would not exist.  As a result, my mother says that international law says that from birth until death, your mother is your ONLY Very Important Person.  Your mother’s entire survival legally depends on you.  It doesn’t matter how old you are, or if you have a significant other or spouse.  No one should have more priority in your life than your mother.  She also says that anyone, regardless of age, who doesn’t prioritize listening to and obeying what their mother says is an evil, selfish person and will end up in the worst corner of Hell when they die.

Because of this prioritization of mothers, my mother believes you must always be near your mother in case something happens.  Until the day you get married, my mother believes international law prohibits you from moving out of your mother’s home, regardless of how old you are.  For the sake of argument, let’s say “near” means 2 hours.  Based on this definition, my mother believes that international law requires that where you live, where your mother lives, and where you work must all be within two hours of each other.  The idea is that if anything happened to your mother, you could get to her side quickly.  In addition, employers must ask prospective employees where their mother lives to ensure they’re not hiring an international law violator.

A side effect would be that all three are stuck where they are and can’t move very far.  You can’t move more than two hours away from both your work location and your mother.  If your mother moves more than two hours away, then you also have to move to stay within a two-hour distance.  This may cause you to change work locations or employers to keep your work location within two hours of both you and your mother.  Finally, if your employer moves more than two hours away, you have to quit your job and find a new employer within two hours of both you and your mother.

Another thing my mother says is that if your mother is not well, you must drop everything — your job, everything- and spend 24/7/365 with your mother until either she is fully healed or she dies.  My mother says international law demands it.  Healing your mother is also your personal responsibility, not doctors, nurses, or anyone associated with the medical profession.  This means that from the first day of your very first job, you must save as much of your income as you can, because once your mother is sick, you might never have income again, if you’re very unlucky.

In my mother’s opinion, nursing homes and elder care facilities are like animal shelters.  It’s where you send people you don’t want anymore.

In any case, my mother claims that if you don’t believe everything above is true, then you’re not human.

On a side note, my mother also claims that international law requires all men at least 35 years old and all women at least 30 years old to be married at least once.  This would help ensure the planet doesn’t run out of humans if deaths outpace births for too long.  And since each generation has to sacrifice itself for the previous generation, you have to have children who can sacrifice themselves to ensure your well-being.

 

 

Selfish?

I’m constantly surrounded by people who believe they know more than I do about how the world works.  They tell me I’m wrong and need to conform to their ideas of the right way to live.

My brother says siblings, parents, and spouses should have priority over your time, money, and energy.  Once their needs, desires, and wants are satisfied, you can use your remaining time, money, and energy to satisfy your own needs, desires, and wants.  If you don’t do this, my brother says you are selfish and a bad person.

In addition, my brother says you should always know what others are thinking.  If you have to be told, you are a dodo and an idiot because you should always know what others want and do it automatically without being told.

My brother also has comments about public health in a post-COVID world.  He says you should assume everything outside the home is contaminated with human-killing germs and that people should regularly wear gloves and face masks whenever they leave the house.  He believes that items found or obtained outside of the home must be treated with extra precautions before or when you bring them into the house.  This includes when you get your mail or packages and bring them into your home.  He believes you should keep all mail and packages you bring into your home in a quarantine container for at least a week before you touch them without gloves or open them.  He uses a UV-sanitizing device for urgent items that can’t wait for quarantine.  He runs the device three times on the items and then opens them.

He believes you should assume all other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians are about to do something stupid and cause an accident.  He believes you should heighten your awareness in December because the holidays make people do silly stuff more often.  He also believes you should heighten your awareness if it’s raining, because you might assume the rain is dirty and contaminated.

Healthcare Laws in the USA are wrong?

My mother believes that healthcare laws in the USA violate international rules that the USA must follow. She has said for decades that all doctors in the country are quacks, health insurance is a scam, and you’re better off treating medical issues yourself.

She believes doctors, nursing homes, and other care facilities are for people who don’t have living relatives. She believes that medical care is the responsibility of the living relatives, and anyone who went to college should be able to provide medical care to their relatives. She also believes any man could lift and carry any other person regardless of how much that person weighs and how old that man is. Effectively, my mother thinks it is a human rights violation to send a person with living relatives to a doctor, nursing home, or any other kind of care facility.

My mother also believes that health care and other medical insurance are one great big scam, and they might as well not exist at all. In her opinion, insurance companies have a significant incentive to reject all claims, so paying the insurance premiums is a waste of money, and insurance companies have no reason to ever pay any of your claims.

My mother believes doctors don’t know any more than anyone else. When you go to a doctor for anything, she believes you are actually volunteering to be a guinea pig for experimentation by the doctor. Therefore, she believes that if doctors actually had the knowledge to treat and heal people that other people don’t know, then doctors would never get sick or die.

Ultimately, my mother believes current laws regarding elder care are wrong. She thinks adult children should be required to provide 24/7 medical care for their elderly parents without the assistance of doctors, nursing homes, other care facilities, etc. For this to work, she believes adult children should be required to tell their employers immediately when their parents are not well, and employers should be required to fire the employee immediately to provide that 24/7 medical care.

 

 

Flying on an airplane is dangerous?

My mother strongly believes in not flying on a plane (commercial airlines, specifically).

You know how there is a surgeon general’s warning on packages of cigarettes? My mother would like to see a warning on the airline websites and on board the plane.

My mother says it is a fact that flying on a plane is the most dangerous form of transportation, and people should dread getting on a plane so much that they should avoid going anywhere that requires flying on a plane to get there.

So, she would probably like to see a warning about how dangerous flying is and that people should pray for their lives before, during, and after every flight. When you buy your ticket, the airline should ask whether your affairs and will are in order.  Recent incidents only reinforce her belief that flying on a plane is dangerous.

As far as she is concerned, nobody should go anywhere too far by car.

Finally, she says she heard on the news that a massive airline industry labor strike in the USA is imminent, and it will effectively shut down all the airlines.

New Labor Laws Needed?

Wow! Time really goes by fast.  I had no idea it’s been three and a half years since I last made a blog post.  While someone I know believes that the pandemic still rages on and the 2020 pandemic restrictions should still be in effect, I believe most people believe the pandemic is long over.  Nobody is self-isolating, traffic on roads is back to normal, businesses are going back to working in the office, and pandemic restrictions are gone.  I don’t think people even care about getting COVID-19 anymore.

As far as I know, I made it through the pandemic without ever getting COVID-19, but it is possible it was just so mild that I had no symptoms or anything.  I’ve gotten the COVID-19 vaccine doses, including booster doses.

Onward to the main topic for this post.  Someone I know believes that federal labor laws need modernizing.

One of their suggestions involves hiring.  They believe that employers should be limited to only hiring people from within about a hundred miles from the workplace.  Their justification is that a move from a larger distance harms relationships, is too traumatizing, and is bad for people.  In addition, people should not be allowed to move out of their parent’s house until the day they get married.  This means their job should be close to their parent’s house.  Employers whose job location is too far for a daily commute from the prospective employee should not hire that person to avoid harming them by putting them too far away from their parents.

They also believe that federal jobs should be limited to one President. Every time there’s a new president, the new president should appoint new directors for all federal agencies, and all existing federal employees should be given one last year of employment to train the new employees hired by the new president’s agency directors.  So, all federal jobs would only last five or nine years, depending on whether the President got one or two terms in office.  They base this opinion on a former member of the US military who became a college professor and told the students in their classes that federal employment is meant only to be a “stepping stone” toward a job in private industry.  In other words, federal jobs should be temporary ones that give you experience in private industry jobs.  This would also let each President have only people working for them that they or their appointed heads working for them want.

They also point out that some people regularly change jobs and might work as many as a dozen jobs over their lifetime. They believe that this should be normal and that all Americans should regularly change jobs.  This is assuming that each job is at a different employer.

Finally, they believe that each person’s mother should be the most critical person in their life.  So, they believe labor laws should require employees to report to their employers whenever their mother is not doing well.  Employers would then be required to lay off the employee so that the employee becomes unemployed and has the ability to spend 24/7 taking care of their mother.  Not doing this would be an indication the children have ill will toward their mother and would rather their mother be dead.  So basically, if your mother is not well, then you should be unemployed and care for your mother 24/7 until they either get well or die, and then you get a new job.  And this would apply to all of your mother’s children.  So if your mother has five children, then that’s five adult children taking care of her 24/7.

Anyhow, that’s it for now. Hopefully, I will write another blog post soon.  At least in less than three and a half years. LOL

Best Wishes For Happy End to 2020

A lot has happened since my last post in February.  There have been protests in the streets across the US.  Even worse, COVID-19 has become a world-wide pandemic.  The COVID-19 Dashboard at Johns Hopkins University shows that as of this writing, the US has the most cases at over four and a half million cases and over 150,000 deaths. Just under a million and a half people have recovered from COVID-19.  Some hospitals have run out of ICU beds.

When do you become an “adult?”

Traditionally an easy question, right?  You’re an adult when you reach age 18.  However, you don’t have the full rights of an adult at 18.  You can’t buy tobacco or drink alcohol until you’re 21.  The expert I know on international standards says it’s even more complicated than that.

Parenting Follow-up

As you may recall, about six weeks ago, I wrote about an expert who says the USA is a laughingstock in the world’s eyes for failing to adhere to international standards.  Especially the one about parenting.

A bit frustrating, but the expert continues to emphasize to me how important it is that parenting be permanent and not end after a child is considered an “adult.”

How do you measure success?

Most of our lives we are evaluated.  In school we get graded on our work and either a letter or numerical grade is assigned or perhaps the teacher gives you either a “pass” or a “fail.”  When we enter the workforce, our managers make a report on our performance.  We hope we get to keep our jobs and maybe even get a promotion that gives us more money in our paychecks.  So as you work on your projects, how do you measure success?  How do you decide if you are successful in completing the project or not?
