Labor unions: the cause of budget deficit

Labor Unions, the only purpose they exist, is to ask for MORE money and LESS work.

Nowadays, modern government has every kind of laws to protect benefit of employees. No reason Labor Unions should exist.

In government jobs, Labor Unions negotiate the salary, overtime pay, retirement benefit and even work load and condition to fire an incompetent works. Do you know how difficult to correct a lazy union worker? Have you ever faced a bad attitude union workers that work for government? We have right to request them to improve! As a taxpayer supported government, we want government the one to defines salary range and benefit, no negotiation. Taxpayers just can not allow any abuse on our tax money.

Why hire Union workers? Private companies that hire non-union workers can perform better jobs.

Just about 1 month ago, Union workers of BART request salary raise without considering BART’s deficit. How would you think? In the non-union company, the employees ask employer to reduce salary so everyone can still keep a job. Why union workers behave differently? Because they own an ridiculous favorable to them working contract! We need to stop this.

San Jose Police Brutality

A recent video clip from Youtube and San Jose Mercury News reveal that an Applied Math student named Phuong Ho in San Jose State University was severely beaten by San Jose Police. 

There were four big macho P-O-L-I-C-E-S involving in this with hand cups, batons, tasers, guns, and kungfu over a 20 year old student.

Here are my suggestions how to avoid San Jose Police brutality:

 1/ Speak perfect English.  You wish!!!

 2/ Do not use veggie peeler in your own kitchen because it will be the damn reason to get shot.

 3/ Do not eat steak.  If you really want to, eat with soap over it.

 4/ Do not eat steak with your steak knife, chop sticks, or bare hands.  Use your mouth only. Why?  Steak knife is weapon, chop sticks are lethal weapon if you are Vietnamese or Chinese, bare hands are also lethal if you are Korean or Japanese.

 5/ Do not wear glasses.  Get lasik.  If your glasses fall, do not bend over to get them because you might get beaten up; on the contrary, you get pleasure in San Francisco.

 6/ You will get shot if you are mentally retarded because you are their image.

 Damn!!!  It is so hard to live in San Jose.  Sure!  Call Human Right Watch!!!

School system does not need more money!

Almost every voting pamphlet you will see proposal to increase funding to schools in bond, increase property tax, etc. But think about it, how many times we have increased the budget for schools?

People tend to tie the school fund to high quality education, do you believe it? If teachers do not grade students homework how students supposed to know their answers are correct or wrong? A Fremont parent told me, her son’s teacher collected homework and returned back to students at semester end without even check them !

A good education system tied to good teachers. We need to give incentive to good teachers and fire incapable teachers. We do not need pay high salary to superintendent, we do not need vice principal. Save the salary difference as incentive that we do not even need increase budget.

If your child come home with no homework or can finish homework in half an hour, should you not to worry what them really learned?

Do you know we owe 5 BILLION dollars to illegal immigrants?

Do you know we owe 5 BILLION dollars to illegal immigrants each year?
They give birth a baby here and we pay for the money! And averagely, we need to pay this expense at least 4 times per female illegal immigrants. Now you know the illegal immigrants contribute mostly in having babies! These babies then go to our public school drain 43% of the school fund from state.
Who said we have shortage of school fund from state should think this seriously.

In emergency situation, hospital has to treat illegal immigrants, on our money, but after they recovered we should deport them! Someone asked: Hey, we spend money to deport them. Well, how about seize the money they earned illegally here?

As long as we really enforce the immigration law and remedy steps mentioned above, I do not think illegal immigrants can consume tax payer’s money anymore.

Whatever

Do you see the sign of the problem?? Whatever…. or I don’t care
I recognized that my kids and the young generation is using this word more often.
Does it mean anything? It translate to the behavior toward things in life.
The society of the future is degrading, there is no moral principal anymore.
Because, the new generation is not going to care.

Then you asked why…
WHY do they need or want to care??
WHY don’t they care anymore.

There are 2 reasons, I think…
1) If we care, the price to pay is too huge.
2) No action is taken anyway, life still go on.

Do you think human race is dying?
Whatever….

2) Our K9 tooth is small… we are collectors.
3) We have sex and multiples like crazy…

HARMONY?

What is harmony? How does it impact our life? It is a simple equation of balance, the LHS (Left Hand Side) equal RHS (Right Hand Side).

I think the society focus on the wrong thing. We keep trying to solve the “problem” by fixing it. And debating on the extreme side; Right and Wrong, Ying and Yang, Good and Bad, Powerful and Weak, Left and Right.

I believe that maybe the solution might be “harmony”. In the modern world, everyone is trying to be god or some super being and forget about the nature. How the animal on earth live in harmony. My understanding of harmony is 50%:50%, the balance of Good and Bad. Any one side is going to be “bad”. Simply saying “Flu season is here, wash your hand to keep clean”. If you keep washing the whole day and your hand will be dry and crack. But if you don’t wash them, they might be dirty. So, the balance of that is very subjective. That is also why it is tough to be in “Harmony”.

Maybe if I practice Tai Chi more, I might get enlightenment.

OK… let learn some Tai Chi.

RIGHT or WRONG??

Did anyone asked the question of what is “right” and what is “wrong”
It is very sad to say that most of us are lost in this world.
What do you think of the word “RESPECT”??
We don’t hear that word as much as I used to hear, when I was growing up.
Because people are not doing thing “right” anymore.
We are getting more selfish and self-protected.
If you look at the world leaders today, how many of them are doing the right thing?
And the media is also a major part to blame.
It is “twisting” the news and fact broadcast to the world.
Don’t you realized that we only hear one side to news.
It is like brain wash, when the news or information are said over and over again.

If anyone would remember, in the old days… we worked together as a community.
And we watch out for each other based on “honor” and “respect”.
Those that committed a crime will be “punished”.
Now, with the lawyer… people tends to twist the fact and make wrong to right.
Especially, the rich and powerful … me and you will suffer the pain.

Someone said that we have lost the “spirit” and the basic of what is right and wrong.

The Mushroom Theory

In nature, we have mushroom, grass and fern.

That’s how life begin…

I was told that mushroom is the “mother” of all life form. It basically reproduce itself, with out seeds. According to Dr. P, it is asexual reproduction animal. Which means there is not male and female mushroom and it will multiple on its own.

So you will ask, what about the grass? Well, that is not asexual. Then how’s grass reproduce? I will leave it to Dr. P to answer that question.
