Where we live and who visits and Serves our Shores
The Global South as designated by ideologically driven United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) encompasses “Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean,” “Asia excluding Israel, Japan, and South Korea,” and “Oceania excluding Australia and New Zealand.” UNCTAD is a Geneva, Switzerland, based agency having a separate membership, leadership, and budget; and offering its reports to the UN General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council.
Comprising the Northern Hemisphere is 68 percent of Earth’s landmass (90 percent of the global population) (both approximates): Continents: North America, Europe, Asia, most of Africa.
Global South Populations on Rosters of America’s Pastime
US Major League Baseball
USA Private Household (et.al.) Industry Immigrants
The textile, apparel and leather manufacturing industries come in second with 36 percent; and the agricultural industry comes in third with a 33 percent proportion of immigrants.
Quoting Pew Research studies, in “no major American industries (did) immigrants outnumber United States born workers.” (emphasis added)
In 2023 Pew reported that although “immigrants” were still “more likely than U.S.-born workers to work in lower-skill occupations,” a significant shift had occurred.
In recent decades, “the numbers of immigrants in high-skill, non-mechanical jobs have risen,” most notably “in jobs that prioritize analytical skills such as science and math or fundamental skills such as writing and speaking;” and “in jobs in which social skills like negotiation and persuasion are important.”
As immigrant workers have transitioned into employment sectors requiring more highly skilled work, it follows that their numbers have decreased in industries “where social or fundamental skills” such as in hospitality or homemaking “are least important.”
This month The Washington Times National Weekly is reporting large deficits in hotel income and workers. The American Hotel and Lodging Association cites a shortage of “190,000 jobs” compared with pre-pandemic levels. One analyst told the Times affirmed that “immigrants have better job options” than the usually designated housekeeping jobs. Just because immigrants are coming over the border doesn’t mean that they’re coming for these jobs, he said.
“Traditionally the hotel industry has used a lot of immigrant labor for drudgery because (immigrants) were more willing to put up with longer hours and more unpleasant working conditions.” Now, “they have more options….”
Talkers on American radio should mind professionalism and their humanity.
These individuals and their owners and handlers and lackeys should study more carefully, become better prepared before going on air. Practice due diligence and proper oversight. Put forth far more effort than reading a teleprompter’s script or ripping and reading the day’s prepackaged points. Have some honest to goodness respect for fellow human beings.
Remember men on a Bridge (I find them hard to forget) suffering the consequences of carelessness in high places: in the press and in the halls of elective and appointive government. Not long after midnight, early one Tuesday morning in late March six construction workers from the world’s Global South lost their lives because of public officials’ (and the news press’s) negligence. These men, ages 25 through 49, died.
US media emperors and their talkers, the news press along with officials in public office and their partnering emperors of privately private enterprises are a collective of bad influences. Despite their 24/7 pageantry of propaganda and curious utterances—these entities are practitioners and peddlers of a callous and unconscionable disregard for peaceful relations; and, more generally, a reckless disregard for all life within and beyond our borders.

Situated in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area was the Francis Scott Key Bridge. On that morning its main spans and three nearest northeast approach spans over the Patapsco River collapsed when a container ship struck a support structure of the bridge extending into navigable waters. Six members of a maintenance crew working on the roadway lost their lives. Two more were rescued from the river.
