Iziphakamiso zikaSalvatore Babones ku Ishumi nesithupha lika-'16: I-Ajenda Eqhubekayo YeMelika Engcono akukubi, uma sicabanga ukuthi i-ajenda eqhubekayo ingagcina esizweni esisodwa.
Kodwa lezi zinhlobo zeziphakamiso zivame ukuba - futhi nalokhu akuhlukile - uhlakaniphile, unobubele uthatha izihloko ezikumaphephandaba ezinkampani. Izihloko ezingekho kumabonakude wakho nazo azikho kule ncwadi noma ezinye ezifana nayo.
Kufanele sibe yini isabelomali somphakathi sase-US? Ingabe icishe iphindwe kabili izinga lika-2001 ukusetshenziswa kwezempi okukhulu kakhulu, kuncane kakhulu, noma kulungile? Kwazi bani. OBabones akasho.
Kungani ungaxhumani nothile “komunye u-54% wesabelomali” zonke lezi zincwadi ezingazinaki (u-54% wezempi wemali esetshenziswa ngokuzithandela, njengoba kubalwe iNational Priorities Project)? Ukubonisana nje okusheshayo nomuntu owaziyo ngobukhona bephrojekthi yomphakathi eyodwa enkulukazi yase-United States kungangeza okuthile kuzo zonke lezi zinkundla zokhetho mbumbulu.
Into engu-14 ohlwini lwaBabones ithi “Yeka ukuhlukumeza, yeka ukubulala, futhi uvale i-NSA.” Udlula ezenzweni ezivamile zokuthi u-Obama “uvimbele ukuhlukunyezwa,” njengokungathi kwakungesona icala elalivele lingajeziswa ngemiyalo ka-Obama. Ulandela lokhu ngokuzenzisa okujwayelekile kokuthi “ukuvinjelwa” okulinganiselwe kokuhlushwa kwavula izintuba zokuhlukumeza “ngokomthetho.” I-Babones yenza kangcono kakhulu ekubulaweni kwe-drone. Kodwa kuthiwani ngokubulawa kwezindiza eziqhutshwa abantu? Ukubulala ngamathangi? Ukubulala ngezibhamu? Kuthiwani ngempi? Ingabe impi “iyaqhubeka”? Kwazi bani!
Ngabe kufanele, njengoba amanye amaphuzu ayi-15 ehlongoza, sidale amathuba emisebenzi, sakhe ingqalasizinda yaseMelika, sisekele imfundo yomphakathi, sinwebe iMedicare kuwo wonke umuntu, sinyuse intela emalini engenayo ephezulu, siqinise kabusha ukuphepha komphakathi, sehlise iWall Street, senze kube lula ukujoyina inyunyana, setha umholo omncane ophilayo, uthuthukele ku-10-10-10, uqede umbuso wejele, uphasise umthetho kazwelonke wokukhipha izisu, uvumele abantu bavote, bahlupheke izingane zababaleki, futhi basindise umhlaba? Yebo, kufanele.
Kodwa uma uzimisele ukuqeda isimo sasejele (futhi njengoba umbhalo unwebeka kulokho, ukuqeda impi yamaphoyisa endawo) khona-ke uzimisele ukwenza uguquko olubalulekile, futhi uyayazi inkinga yempi. Ngakho-ke leyo nto encane ethatha u-54% wesabelomali ihamba kanjani ku-AWOL kuwo wonke la maphrojekthi?
Ukube ukusetshenziswa kwezempi kwase-US bekuvele kubuyiselwe emazingeni e-2001, ukongiwa kwezigidigidi ezingama- $ 213 ngonyaka kungaxhasa imfundo, uhlelo olusha lwezobulungiswa, usizo lwababaleki, uhlelo lokhetho oluvulekile nolunobulungiswa nokuqinisekiswa, kanye nokusindiswa komhlaba - ngokuhle. ushintsho oluncane olusele.
Sivelaphi isinqumo esicishe sibe ngazwi-linye sokugwema isihloko? I-Institute for Policy Studies, eshicilele le ncwadi, ayizibi isihloko kwenye indawo. Kungani ingakwazi ukungena kulezi zinkundla ezithuthukayo? Mhlawumbe ukuthula akuqhubeki.
