Future Work
For my blog I chose to look at ‘exhibits’ 1,2 and 4. As far as I can tell all three graphs essentially tell the same story from different perspectives. The first looks at how different areas (cities and such) recovered after the Great Recession. The 3rd graph looks at how jobs will correlate with education (or lack thereof) by the year 2030. The 4th looks at which types of cities are most likely to succeed in regards to future employment growth. They all essentially talk about how the poor are going to be screwed over because of the jobs that they tend to be able to obtain. Regardless of this I feel that a lot more than just them will be considered to be replaceable within a short period of time. As we continue to grow and evolve as a global society, it is inevitable that we will not advance as we grow. Having said this our technologies have increased vastly in the past 2 decades alone which has already left more without jobs. Relating specifically to this 3rd graph we already see more technological based shifts within the food industry. For example, Shake Shack. They have already began implementing more technology as customers can order on screens now without the need to speak to a person over a counter. This has the potential of eliminating workers across the food industry at a rather alarming rate. For specifically my future this means getting educated and maintaining a job that is more selective. This means getting a higher level education as well as a job that is specific to my set of skills and by doing this it would ideally betters my chances at holding whatever job this might be and in doing so may also better my salary as well as living style.

As the coronavirus rages on, an important question arises: should western countries aid the so-called "third world," particularly Africa, in combating the pandemic? I believe the answer is no, for two main reasons. My first objection is rather obvious: the United States currently has more confirmed COVID cases than all of Africa combined, and it isn't close. There are several possible explanations, including the warmer weather, but the exact reason isn't necessarily relevant. After a domestic coronavirus response which can only be described as a disaster of earth-shattering proportions, who are we to go on an international health crusade? There are millions of vulnerable Americans who are currently unable to receive adequate care. Our resources need to be going to them first, not abroad, and most certainly not to parasitic, too-big-to-fail corporations. My second objection: when was America's last successful large-scale international intervention, viole...

SARS CoV-2, COVID-19, and The World

It's no secret that right now the SARS CoV-2 is wreaking havoc across the world. As of today, the United States has surpassed China as the nation with the most cases of the novel coronavirus, with over 86,000 cases in our country to date. This is all pretty crazy, especially considering that this is all because of a pathogen that supposedly started with either bats or pangolins (the only mammal in the world known to have scales) in a small localized region of China. Of course, it's not only the health effects that are wide-reaching; the social effects are also just as prevalent. One of the ways in which the world is rapidly changing in regards to social effects is through panic buying of goods at places such as supermarkets and hypermarkets such as Walmart. However, the good news is that food in general is not going to run out; there may be shortages of certain particular items, nevertheless, as certain nations have curtailed exports. What is bound to change, possibly permanent...

COVID-19 Blog

As the spread of COVID-19 becomes greater many opinions on how to respond to this global pandemic have surfaced. Just a few months ago much of the population in the United States felt unthreatened by the virus as it spread through China, being concentrated in Wuhan, and later spreading in Europe. It was not until the virus quickly erupted in the United States that we each understood the true severity of this pandemic. Now we are seeing how individuals are being greatly impacted by this virus as we are all being asked to stay home and the everyday parts of our lives have been flipped upside down. In the opinion piece about what responsibility developed countries have for helping less developed countries I both agreed and disagreed. My initial response is that if places, like the United States, are struggling with medical resources how can we even begin to be helpful in less developed countries. Hospitals all throughout the United States are beginning to have to make life or death decisi...
