This week’s edition of our Worker Wellness blog looks at how one state’s Governor has misgivings concerning the endorsement of Sports Gambling—to how PFAS chemicals used for stain resistance in carpets has poisoned the water supply in southeast sections of the USA—to a recent study acknowledging the psychological hazards within the construction industry.
Focal Point: This week I wish to discuss with our readers the importance of being respectful and taking responsibility. On more than one occasion, I have touched on the concept of leadership in this blog. To be sure, I have used the saying, “As a leader, one must model the behavior s/he expects of others.” To this end, late last week, #47 posted an online message that depicted the former POTUS (B Obama) and the First Lady (M Obama) as apes. It did not take long for many people from ALL sides to speak out against this disrespectful and criminal action (make no mistake, this is a form of hate speech). Even after an array of attempts by DC’s ‘Totalitarian’ media team to perform damage control via backtracking, diverting blame, gaslighting, etc., #47 refuses to apologize! Ironically, the following is a quote from Joseph Goebbels:
"Repeated lies are now called 'truth' by the common people."
Sound familiar? If not, take a few minutes to research Hitler’s aforementioned media manager.
Thus, when it comes to the ‘leader’ of the so-called Free World, we should MUST expect DEMAND more from our elected president…whether you did or did not vote for this person!
In closing, PLEASE allow these 2 powerful, longstanding, and timely sayings by Edmund Burke to seep into your hearts and minds:
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
"The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse."
Enough said.
