One of my cousins was stabbed in Palm Springs, California, which really sucks because it used to be a great area. The area has really gone down hill. He was out for a Midnight walk when he approached a domestic violence situation, when he intervened then he was stabbed in the stomach twice.
The desert nights are magical, and that is when the people in Palm Springs come out to party in the summer. They stay by the swimming pools and air conditioners during the heat of the day and then they come out to party at night. Guys like Frank Sinatra used to party at night in Palm Springs.
Civilization seems to be crumbling instead of improving, you would think that we would learn and evolve over time and that we would become better people. And as the jobs left people might be content with libraries and gardens like in Greece, and they might evolve to higher level enterprises like the Greeks. But, instead people are becoming violent and less educated.
We need to raise better children, and we need for society to evolve to stand upon the shoulders of past generations and become better educated and more civilized, etc. And we should become wealthier, it is silly to go from extreme wealth to poverty, the USA used to be rich, the old timers need to teach the kids, and people need to become more civilized.
And hard work needs to pay, people need to be able to join labor unions, etc, and we need to have prevailing wages, etc, so that people are rewarded for their hard labor. People are living in their cars while working 40 hours per week and that sucks. In N Out Burger in California pays their managers $120,000 per year and that needs to be the new going pay for managers for other companies. People need to be able to buy homes and raise families. The wages need to rise, you should not work like a slave while living in your car. And we need hostels where people can take a shower and where they can sleep in a bed for $15 per night. We need fair pay and fair housing.
Anyhow, a lot of people in Palm Springs are upset about the rise in crime. We need for society to evolve to be a better place, not a worse place. Palm Springs was great back when Frank Sinatra lived there.
Salute,
Tony V.
