I-Charlottesville Intuthuko Yansuku zonke ishicilelwe inguqulo yomhleli ka I-Richmond Times Dispatch lokho kukhomba indlela eya ekuthuleni nasekuchumeni! Iyaqala:
“Uma kukhulunywa ngokusetshenziswa kwemali kwezokuvikela, iVirginia ikleliswe endaweni engunombolo 1. Amadola okuvikela ayingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yomnotho wombuso. Yingakho ukuncishiswa kwesabelomali sika-2013 kuthinte iVirginia ngokujulile kunezifundazwe eziningi. Futhi yingakho isivumelwano sesabelomali esasayinwa ngumengameli siyizindaba ezimnandi.”
Ezinyangeni eziyishumi nanye ezedlule, uMkhandlu Wedolobha LaseCharlottesville wadlula isinqumo siphikisana nalokhu kushintshwa kokuchithwa kwemali kusuka kwamanye amaphrojekthi amaningi kuya kwezempi, ngezizathu zokuthi uxhaso olufanayo angakhokhela izinto eziwusizo kakhulu nezokuziphatha, futhi uxhaso olufanayo lungaba nomthelela ongcono kakhulu wezomnotho - ukuthi, empeleni, ukusetshenziswa kwezempi ukudonsa kanzima kwemisebenzi kanye nempilo yezomnotho ngisho uma kuqhathaniswa nokuncishiswa kwentela kubantu abasebenzayo,
Kepha inkampani ephethe iphephandaba lansuku zonke laseCharlottesville kuphela ithi, ingavinjwa amaqiniso noma ukuziphatha:
"Umthetho Wokugunyazwa Kwezokuvikela Kazwelonke uhlanganisa isabelomali esiyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-700 sePentagon. Isifunda sase-Greater Charlottesville sesivele sinenzuzo ekusetshenzisweni kwezokuvikela, futhi ucwaningo olusha lwezempi namaphrojekthi okukhiqiza angaletha izinzuzo ezengeziwe. Ngo-2016, ukusetshenziswa kwezimali kwezokuvikela kwathela cishe amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1.8 emnothweni wasekhaya, kokubili ngokuqondile nangokungaqondile, ngokusebenzisa izinkontileka zabantu abangaphezu kuka-5,000, ngokusho kombiko. governmentcontractswon.com.
“Mayelana nezinzuzo kwenye indawo eVirginia, ake sibheke iNavy kuphela. Isabelomali esisha saseWashington sihlanganisa u-$26.2 billion wemikhumbi yempi emisha engu-14, amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-5.9 wemikhumbi-ngwenya, kanye namaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-4.4 kwabathwali bezindiza. Eminingi yaleyo mikhumbi izokwakhiwa khona lapha eVirginia.
“I-Huntington Ingalls Industries eNewport News ingumakhi omkhulu wemikhumbi yezempi ezweni lonke. Zonke izikhali zenuzi ezinikeza amandla imikhumbi-ngwenya yeNavy kanye nabathwali bezindiza zakhiwe eLynchburg.
“Futhi ngamunye waleyo mikhumbi emisha uzodinga amakhulukhulu amatilosi ukuze awuhambise. Ukuze kuhlangatshezwane naleso sidingo, ngo-Feb. 12, i-Pentagon yembula uhlelo lweminyaka emihlanu lokukhulisa i-Navy ngabasebenzi abangu-25,400 ababhalisiwe.
“Okwamanje amandla okuphela kwenkonzo ami ku-319,400. Lokho kulindeleke ukuthi kukhule kufike ku-344,800 ekupheleni kwezimali zika-2019. Ukuthola abantu abanekhono nabaqeqeshiwe abangu-25,400 kungase kube nzima. Umnotho wezakhamuzi uqinile futhi uyakhula. Inkonzo yezempi ayithandeki kubantu abasha abanamathuba amaningi omsebenzi. I-Navy icele ama- $ 90 wezigidi zamabhonasi okubhalisa kanye namaphakheji esinxephezelo angcono ukuze igcine amandla ayo akhona manje. Lezo zilingo kanye nokukhushulwa komholo okungamaphesenti angu-2.6 okugunyazwe ku-NDAA kungase kusize ukubhekana nenselele.
“Konke okuyizindaba ezinhle kuVirginia. I-Norfolk Naval Base iyikhaya le-Navy's Atlantic Fleet futhi iyisizinda sezempi esikhulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Lokho kanye nenqwaba yezinye izisekelo zeNavy kulo lonke izwe kuzobona ukukhula eminyakeni ezayo. Imboni eqinile yokwakha umkhumbi kanye neNavy emikhulu isho imisebenzi eminingi eVirginia - hhayi nje eyamatilosi kodwa kosonkontileka bezimboni, abahlinzeki bempahla, nabanye abangenakubalwa. I-Navy ekhulayo izuzisa izwe lonke. "
Lokhu kunengqondo ngendlela okwandisa ngayo ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli wezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi kuzuzisa abathile abenza inzuzo kaphethiloli. Okungukuthi, izobhubhisa ikusasa lezinhlobo ze homo sapiens, kodwa ngesikhashana nje, othile uzozuza imali.
Ngenkathi ubuhlanya bezempi ubulala izigidi zamadoda, abesifazane, nabantwana abangenacala; izingozi thina; usongela imvelo yethu; iyaguguleka inkululeko yethu; futhi i-impoverishes thina; siqhubekisela phambili ukucekelwa phansi kwesiko lethu ngokulivikela “njengohlelo lwemisebenzi.” Lokhu kuyiphutha lokuziphatha lezilinganiso ezinjengama-gargantuan kangangokuthi ngiyangabaza ukuveza ukuthi futhi kuyiphutha lezomnotho.
Noma mhlawumbe abahleli bazi ngokugcwele ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwezempi kunciphisa imisebenzi kuzwelonke, kodwa inhloso yokuqinisekisa ukuthi iVirginia ithola imisebenzi eminingi kunezinye izifundazwe.
Ubukhulu bokuziphatha abugwemeki kalula. Ukuzuza empini kwathathwa njengehlazo e-United States kuze kube yiMpi Yezwe II. Manje isikhuthazwa ngokusobala nangehlazo abantu okungenzeka ukuthi abahlanganyeli kuyo ngokuqondile. Ngokusobala izifanekiso zempi kanye nemibuthano yama-fascist akuyona yonke into okufanele sizisole ngayo eCharlottesville kulezi zinsuku.
