我見 我思 我聞

我們的社会真的病了

美國加州稱為黃金州 ，但是一塲在洛杉磯林肯高地集體掠奪火車貨櫃的畫面， 已經改變了黃金州之面目， 疫情 失業，收入不平等及物價上漲及加卅微罪法律之通過， 造成了世界第一经濟大國真的生病了。

位於洛杉磯東部社區是美國西岸貨運之樞紐 ，也是聯合太平洋铁路公司的一個中心 ，這個貨櫃暫停之大型貨櫃場 ，已經成為犯罪夥伴搶劫的溫床。

當我們看到被成群的暴徒搶走了各種物品之後， 地面軌道一片狼籍 ，垃圾遍地，真是慘不忍睹。

近二年來 ，由於新冠疫情之襲擊， 人們遭遇到前所未見之各種挑戰 ，生活和心理上皆受到重创， 事實上 ，多半的人都是生活在寅吃卯糧之狀態， 如果失去了工作， 只有靠社會救濟 ，否則就會铤而走險 ，搶刧偷就無處不在。

執政剛滿週年的拜登政府 。正遭受到病毒经濟和政治之雙重压力， 在參議院不但共和黨全數反對， 自己民主黨也在跑票 ，倘若今年十一月期中選舉失去眾院多數 ，必然跛腳無疑。

我們呼籲拜登總統必須立即調整施政方針， 首要任務仍然是國內民生經濟問題， 同時更要修正對外關係策略， 如果繼續走在上任政府之老路上， 世界和平將是遥遙無期。

今天我們打開所有的社交或電視媒體， 多半皆是負面新聞 ，許多溫馨感人的故事越來越少了， 我們真感覺到這個社會真的變了。

Our Society Is Really Sick

California is called the Golden State, but the pictures of the Lincoln Heights area of downtown Los Angeles and the thieves who looted the train totally change the image.

Police in this East Los Angeles neighborhood have been aware for months of the thefts in this busy rail hub, but the losses have worsened recently.

The Union Pacific Railroad company issued a statement saying that last year the theft, assault and armed robberies rose 160 percent last year. In the meantime, UPS and FedEx were considering taking their business elsewhere.

Crime is rising in the heavily populated LA Lincoln Heights area. Police staffing levels now strained by the pandemic have made matters worse. People are losing their jobs and there are more homeless numbers now.

Today the current Biden Administration is under both domestic and international pressure. Not only does the Republican Party oppose bills in the Senate, but also its own party is running for votes. If the Democrats lose the majority in the November midterm election, the president will become a lame duck leader.

We call on President Biden to change the current top priority which remains the economic issue. It is also equally important that we need an overall change. Our foreign policy for the world needs to be more peace rather than conflict.
