IYunivesithi yaseVirginia ipaki yophando, ngaphesheya kweRt. I-29 North evela kwiZiko leSizwe lezobuNtlola kwiSizwe, libambe inkomfa malunga nobuchwepheshe bezixhobo obukhuthazwe njengokujongana nemiba eluncedo kwezoqoqosho.
Kwaye kutheni kungenjalo? Zombini iziko lomkhosi kunye nepaki yophando zibonelela ngemisebenzi, kwaye abantu ababambe loo misebenzi bachitha imali yabo kwizinto ezixhasa eminye imisebenzi. Yintoni ongayithandiyo?
Kulungile, enye ingxaki kukuba yintoni na loo misebenzi. Uvavanyo lweWin/Gallup lwezizwe ezingama-65 ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka lufumene i-United States yeyona ithathwa njengesona sisongelo esikhulu soxolo emhlabeni. Khawufane ucinge ukuba kufuneka kuvakala njani kubantu bakwamanye amazwe xa sithetha ngomkhosi wase-US njengenkqubo yemisebenzi.
Kodwa masibambelele kuqoqosho. Ivela phi imali kwizinto ezininzi eziqhubekayo kwisiseko kunye nepaki yophando emantla edolophu? Kwiirhafu zethu kunye nokuboleka kukarhulumente. Phakathi kwe-2000 kunye ne-2010, iikontraka zezempi ze-161 e-Charlottesville zakhupha i-919,914,918 yeedola ngeekontraki ze-2,737 ezivela kurhulumente wobumbano. Ngaphezulu kwezigidi ezisi-8 zeerandi zaya eyunivesithi kaMnu Jefferson, kunye nekota yesithathu yaloo nto kwiSikolo soShishino saseDarden. Kwaye umkhwa uhlala unyuka.
Kuqhelekile ukuba ucinge ukuba, ngenxa yokuba abantu abaninzi banomsebenzi kwi-shishini yemfazwe, ukuchitha imali emilweni kunye nokulungiselela imfazwe kunceda uqoqosho. Kwinyani, ukuchitha ii-dollar ezifanayo kwiimashishini ezinokuthula, kwimfundo, kwiziseko zophuhliso, okanye nakwezinye izicucu zerhafu kubantu abasebenzayo ziza kuvelisa imisebenzi eninzi kwaye kwiimeko ezininzi zenza imisebenzi engcono yokuhlawula - kunye nokonga okwaneleyo ukunceda wonke umntu enze utshintsho ukusuka kwimfazwe ukuya emsebenzini woxolo .
Ubungangamsha benye inkcitho okanye ukucuthwa kwerhafu kuye kwasekwa ngokuphindaphindiweyo ngezifundo zeseminal eziphuma kwiDyunivesithi yaseMassachusetts e-Amherst, ekhankanywa rhoqo kwaye ayizange iphikiswe kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo. Inkcitho koololiwe okanye iiphaneli zesola okanye izikolo aziyi kuvelisa nje imisebenzi ehlawula ngcono, kodwa ke ayinakurhafisa iidola kwasekuqaleni. Inkcitho yasemkhosini imbi kakhulu kunanto, ngokwemeko yezoqoqosho.
Ukongeza koku impembelelo kumgaqo-nkqubo wamazwe angaphandle ebenayo inkcitho enkulu yasemkhosini ukusukela ngaphambi kokuba uMongameli Eisenhower asilumkise ngomhla awashiya ngawo isikhundla: "Impembelelo epheleleyo - yezoqoqosho, yezopolitiko, kunye nezokomoya -" utshilo, "ivakala kuzo zonke iidolophu, zonke izindlu zikaRhulumente, zonke iiofisi zorhulumente weFederal. Namhlanje nangakumbi, kangangokuba mhlawumbi siyayiqaphela kancinci, sele iyinto yesiqhelo.
I-Connecticut imisele ikhomishini ukuba isebenze ekutshintsheni kumashishini anoxolo, ubukhulu becala ngenxa yezizathu zoqoqosho. IVirginia okanye iCharlottesville inokwenza okufanayo.
Urhulumente wase-US uchitha ngaphezulu kwe-600 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngonyaka nje kwiSebe lezoKhuselo, kwaye ngaphezulu kwe-1 yezigidi zezigidi zeedola minyaka le kumkhosi kuwo onke amasebe kunye namatyala eemfazwe ezidlulileyo. Ingaphezulu kwesiqingatha senkcitho enokuvela e-US kwaye malunga nezizwe zehlabathi zidityanisiwe, kubandakanya namalungu amaninzi e-NATO kunye namahlakani ase-United States.
Kuya kubiza malunga neebhiliyoni ezingama-30 zeedola ngonyaka ukuphelisa indlala nendlala kwihlabathi liphela. Loo nto ivakala ngathi yimali eninzi kuwe okanye kum. Kuya kubiza malunga ne-11 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ngonyaka ukubonelela ihlabathi ngamanzi acocekileyo. Kwakhona, oko kuvakala ngathi kuninzi. Kodwa khawucinge ngemali echithwayo kwiinkqubo eziyingozi kwezoqoqosho nezonakalisa inkululeko yethu yoluntu, indawo esihlala kuyo, ukhuseleko lwethu nokuziphatha kwethu. Ayinakubiza kakhulu ukuba i-US ibonwe njengesona sisongelo esikhulu sokubandezeleka kunye nentlupheko endaweni yoxolo.
