This is a call to action. As global citizens we are obligated to future generations to make sure that another global pandemic never happens again. WE are obligated to protect our planet from global warming. We are obligated to protect their futures. Children who have yet to be born, will fully have to deal with the consequences of globalization and its influence on national environments, governments and economies. The word national is within international, and we all seem to have forgotten that.
What I do know as history major, is that when a bad country goes unchecked, the human race suffers to the extreme. It makes me angry when people compare anything to a Holocaust concentration camp, when pictures in books showed me cramped trains and ashes of burned Jews settling on the newly arrived as they first encountered Auschwitz. I bring this up because China is a bad country going unchecked, which is proved in the ways they handled and handle COVID-19. They have been lying and are lying to maintain control over the world’s global economy. We are in a precarious time in history, and we are obligated to future generations to establish safety and security. WE must hold ourselves accountable and make changes before it gets any worse. It is not quantifiably possible that China has less deaths than Italy, when COVID-19 has been present there since November and they are the most populous country in the world. Those numbers do not add up and this is clearly a Chinese coverup of a major mess up. China has been is lying to us, simply to maintain economic control. What about people? I’m talking about Chinese people too. What about people all over the world and within China? We are all sick! It is time to check the Chinese government NOW! The world has become too dependent yet again on a single country. And this country has infected the whole world knowingly with a deadly disease. They manufacture everything! EVERYTHING! International should not mean that everything is made in China. Not only does this cause nation states to be dependent on a single country, it allows that same country to treat their citizens as if they are nothing. Pennies for a day’s work and forced silence about a sickness as they went to manufacture our imports, their exports. This is all deduced from my current knowledge and historical knowledge of China. They never cared about human rights- bound feet and various attempts at population control including infantile homicide. And this is the country the whole world is currently dependent on. Out of all the countries in the world, we had to become dependent on China’s government. And this is to the determent of all. When I think international, I think national. I think about the stunning and diverse qualities across countries and continents. I think about how every single country in this world needs to make drastic changes so that China no longer goes unchecked and so that we can adequately protect our future. You all know what happened when Germany went unchecked for too long. We had WORLD WAR II and 20 million causalities. National economies need to be what composes the international economy. The last thing we need is World War III after COVID-19, and whose to stop China if we don’t stop depending on their economy? Every single country has vibrant qualities and people who want to work. Instead of outsourcing, we need to start insourcing. Each country should make their own nationally driven imports, unique to them to trade. For example, Sicily has the very best oranges anywhere, yet I ate a Pomelo from China while in Italy. That is an example of how national was removed from international. When it comes to Italy, I relate to Bubba from Forrest Gump. I can go on and on about Italy, and especially Southern Italy. I have so many ideas about how to elevate Italy’s economy. That’s one of my thought breaks from social work, thinking about Italy. I can’t speak about every global country because I simply don’t know as much about everybody else as I do about Italy. So let me use Italy as my case example. Southern Italy has some of the best water in the whole world, something that people would pay $5.00 a bottle for, and noi Calabresi get to fill glass bottles for free. Yet there are no jobs in Calabria! I don’t ever want to ruin La Sila, but economic growth is possible in every region within Italy. People could even make sachets from the pine needles covering the forest ground in the Sila. There are so many products that can be made by nationalists within their nation. My list is endless, and I want to reiterate that I strongly believe Venice needs to charge an entrance fee, at least a couple hundred euro that people will pay in the train station before entering. That money should initially be used to stabilize the structural foundation of Venice by paying the most talented and creative engineers. I miscounted the other day; I have been to exactly 17 of the 20 regions of Italy. Each of these 20 regions, like Venice and La Sila, has their own unique goods that people want to buy from all over the world. I think that this is probably true for every country. I know in the USA, each state has its own personality and with that tradeable goods. I also know that America checks bad countries, with the help of their allies. I am pleading with the governments of the world to change how we engage economically. Let me reiterate international does not mean made in China. Us citizens within our countries, we have voices too and we need to make them heard loud and clear by our governments. Please change the nature of global economics. Instead of outsourcing, insource and trade national goods internationally. Put national back into international. Checkmate China. We don’t need more trouble. Don’t just protect our future generations, protect us. I want to trade with the good guys.
