New Jersey leaders tried to hide FIFA expenses while also promoting economical benefits that don't actually exist

Recently, I saw an article in the New Jersey Monitor (Monitor) discussing some people’s frustration hosting World Cup matches thanks to FIFA’s ever-growing list of demands and expenses. Even though taxpayers were “promised a major jolt to our economy,” the matches have instead been a financial drain on local resources. — More Perfect Union Let’s go back for a second. Last year, FIFA announced New…

In response to the State of New Jersey's intentions to demolish the historic buildings at the Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital, including the Kirkbride Building, the organization, Preserve Greystone will hold a strategy talk and preview a documentary about the site on Thursday, April 17, at the Morristown and Morris Township Library.

Adam McGovern, a trustee with Preserve Greystone, said that the group met with the State Treasurer Andrew Sidamon-Eristoff, Deputy Treasurer Robert Romano, and Chief of Staff Jennifer D'Autrechy in late March, at which time it was disclosed that the State Treasury which controls the Greystone site, had finalized the decision to tear down the structures. Undeterred, the non-profit organization that is dedicated to protecting the open space and historic buildings on the Greystone site will continue in its fight.

McGovern said, "We have met directly with the state, and our feelings are known to them. We are asking all supporters to write the governor to make their feelings known. We are continuing to try and arrange dialogue between the developers and the state (which has never contacted any of the firms who made proposals, to work out a plan). The Parsippany Township Council voted in favor of preservation in December, and we hope that public officials will continue to speak out."

Players like Governor Walker--and he is a player--want to play a form of union busting and ageism .........

Conflict and tension are basic facts of social life.  People have disagreements over goals and values and are involved in struggles over both resources and power.  Values and beliefs that seem to be widely held are actually a kind of justification that helps rationalize and explain the status quo.  It is a condition of naivete or denial of the truth, allowing for the perpetuation of inequalities inherent in class structure.. 

How does this serve the interests of the ruling class?  By keeping the working class from demanding better conditions in this life.  The only way to change the status quo is for the masses to attain a revolutionary consciousness.  This happens when people recognize how society works (unfairly) and challenge those who hold the power.  A system based on economic exploitation basically sows the seeds of its own destruction.

As a nation, we are still very immature.  What else could possibly explain our lack of reverence for those who hold the future of our nation in their hands--teachers.  They are by far more important than lawyers, doctors, certainly Wall Street brokers, politicians; and only in this country (unlike mature civilized Europeans) are educators not granted the benefits and respect they deserve, including prosperity!
