That May Seem That Way

I don't want to be negative, but I saw no point in OFW being jubilant especially now that the dollar is equivalent to P59. Those earning dollars may think that their salaries are now worth more in Philippine pesos.

That may seem that way, but the OFW's families are OFFSET and UPSET by the rising prices of basic goods ... especially food and transport. Whatever increase in the value of the OFW's dollar remittances ... the family realizes it loses its monetary worth because of the skyrocketing price of commodities and services.

Rep. Sandro Marcos said: "The peso is not weak, because the peso is WEAK. The peso is weak because the dollar is STRONG."

Following this line of reasoning, am I right if I say: "I am not poor because I am poor. I am POOR because my neighbor is RICH? Does that make sense?

Short Circuit

Using Sandro Marcos' words: Your savings is WEAK not because it's weak,

Your savings is weak because Shoppee and Lazada are STRONG.

Short Circuit

Tulsi Gabbard a Democrat from Hawaii and a Presidential Democratic candidate in the last election is leaving the Democratic Party.  It proves to me that we still have some SANE politicians left behind.

For once my FAITH in a politician hasn't been misplaced.

Tulsi Gabbard Left The Democratic Party

Tulsi Gabbard left the Democratic Party.  Tulsi Gabbard is an American politician, United States Army Reserve officer and the political commentator who served as the U.S. representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021. Gabbard was the first Hindu member of Congress and also the first Samoan-American voting member of Congress. She was a candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination in the 2020 United States presidential election.  Here is what she has to say:

"I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are…hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.

I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite. I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me….in leaving the Democratic Party. If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.
