An introduction follows the 77 families and me,
Entitlements, verse the realities of the needy….
I would like to discuss a friend of mine, for his
protections I shall call him Sir Robert of Boisenshire, a younger man than I, a
man of short yet wide stature, clean cut in display, kind if you really
understand the word. His life has been an abuse after abuse under the guise of
helping. He suffers from a issue, today would be called Adhd, an inability to
set for a length of time, causing issue like lack of education, lack of self
worth, and the view that today he needs medications to point were even the
simplest of things like budgeting a months worth of food or money to provide
for himself, as a solution to his shaking legs and his wondering mind as he
looks out a window at a bird whose movement caught his eye, needs to be
controlled and stopped by huge amounts of drugs given by a doctors to stop
those behaviors.
Eight months and daily standing in the smoking section as he
for the first time in his 38 years he attempts to care for himself, lives in
a housing development where a non-
profit helps those who are in need.
A bit of background on this non profit, they employ another
non-profit to manage the housing development. The managing non profit, has yet
to pass the inspections by the state on even the simplest of maintenance
issues, like the safety of the play ground, the grounds up keep, the cleaning
or the common areas. They have this practice of employing friends of the
non-profit and housing them within the community, if not direct families of the
managing non-profit, while paying them top dollar to provide maintenance of the
community.
Back to that smoking section and the mess of all those
cigarette buts that seems never to get placed in the trash can, a rake and an
intro to do something for another, a simple thing of picking up after another.
This is where Sir Robert and I first met, me a smoker raking up after a few
others, you see Sir Robert wants to help; he wants to feel needed by someone
for something, a value of self worth. In our interactions he one day asked if
he could do what I was doing, simply cleaning up, after a great laugh with each
other, the rake became his, in his efforts of what now is a daily
volunteer-ment of his time and efforts, that smoking section as grown to a walk
around the complete complex, and simply picking up trash left by others.
Nepotism, defined as favoritism granted in politics or business to relatives. The
maintenance of the grounds and payment of that work, job functions plus an
exchange on top of wages for a larger three or four bedroom apartment, given to
a mangers spouse. A simple confrontation by Sir Robert to this maintenance
employee, about actually doing the job of cleaning and picking up after others,
as small as the issue seems to be, keeping the grounds presentable to the
outside world. Has lead Sir Robert into a firestorm of actuations and
dismissals.
Obviously if the
spouse of a manger will not pickup the grounds there are other issues he would
never do, one on top of the other and the clear understanding he was not fit to
actually do the job of maintenance. The choice to keep him employed was
limited, then it was no longer an option.
Back to that
simple confrontation, the results of that confrontation and Sir Robert. This
managing spouse has taken the time and efforts to regain their precious selfish
view of better than the community by dry actuations against Sir Robert, stating
and calling their friends to investigate Sir Robert for illegal drugs, specifically
marihuana. Stating that they are so sure that Sir Robert has to be on illegal
drugs to have the courage not only to help pick up after others, but to do the
job of the spouses functions without a single dime of payment.
Corruptions and
Nepotism, and fear that this man who just wanted to help, to do something for
others, has cost him not only the self worth of achievements, like weight loss,
but the development of friends within the community.
Lets go back to
those little extra gifts of not only the wages but the apartments, their
apartment is different than Sir Roberts, they have special locks, peeks holes,
counters, fixtures, within the community, they live better than Sir Robert.
If you were to
ever meet Sir Robert and spend anytime with him you would clearly see that
there is no illegal drug issue, yet because of a simple confrontation he will
be labeled as such by the managing non-profit.
This is the
realities of your tax dollars, which are to be given to the needy to assist
them in becoming a functioning member of our communities, given first to one,
then to another to manage, under Nepotism.
As for me all I
did is give the man a rake, and permission to help another, which he did at the
cost of his own self worth and peace of mind, for now he will be under constant
view for illegal drugs, constant inspections of his apartment as they look for
the proof of something that just is not there.
All of this is
done under the view that it is a entitlement for someone like Sir Robert to ask
for help, where he found a way to help others.
Nepotism is
clearly seen on those locks and with those peek holes before you even knock
upon the door.
