美国新冠疫情日记06/18 Long Unemployment Lines In Alabama

          Long Unemployment Lines In Alabama

According to Labor Department statistics, more than forty-five million people have lost their jobs since the Coronavirus pandemic broke out. Yesterday we saw very long lines in front of an unemployment office in a city in Alabama. We felt so sad. Those unemployed people have to stand in line for a whole day just to talk to the unemployment office and try to get some help because they are so very helpless to face daily life.

Federal and state governments wanted to open up the country and stimulate the business activity. The real reason was to ease unemployment and restart the economy. But on the other hand, the medical community is really worried that the second wave the pandemic may come back. We are watching people in different cities just ignoring the rule to wear the masks and the keep social distance. If the second wave comes back, that will result in even more serious damage for our economy.

Today, the White House is facing another challenge. Former national security advisor John Bolton dropped bombshell in his new book saying that Trump asked China for re-election help and encouraged the Chinese government to keep building concentration camps for social dissidents. In many U.S. cities, the recent demonstrations are still going on. This is why the majority of people feel that we are in a national turmoil and still unsafe.

We are urging all the people to come to the rescue our nation. From Congress to the White House to local government, we need to overcome the corrupt politicians. The vote is in our hands and this is the only weapon we have to do it.

We adopted America as our home and our country. This is our sole responsibility and duty to do what is right. You need to look at your community, your neighbors and participate in your local elections to rebuild the country. As Abraham Lincoln said in his Gettysburg address: “For the people by the people.”

                   阿拉巴马州的失业长龙

根据劳工部公布之数据，美国全国登记在案的失业人口已经超过四千五百万，这是美国自有失业人数统计数据以来最高数字，昨天我们看到在阿拉巴马州排队申请救济金的长龙，他们竟然等上整天都未得到答案，这些已经是山穷水尽的失业者，对他们而言，解决燃眉之急是生活问题。

白宫当局为了解决严重的经济危机，开始商业活动势在必行，但是新冠病毒之攻击还在进行中，全国各州新增病例还在上升，专家警告。第二波疫情可能会捲土重返， 到时可能会更无法收拾。

今天我们正在面临前所未有之挑战，白宫内部曾经是国安高官之波顿，近日出书说出总统滥权辱权之惊人内幕，执意要召开党内提名群众大会，种族歧视事件公然造成民众划地为营，全国各地烽火遍地，超过大半数的国人都深感处于动盪之中。

我们呼吁全美有识之士，这是我们要共同挽救国家的时候了，在国家宪法立法之精神下，重整国会及中央地方政府之腐败情势，换言之，国民手中之选票是我们改变现况的唯一武器，投票是我们的权利也更是我们的义务。

今天我们大家都选择了美国是我们安身立命的土地，我们世代生活在这里，是我们的国，也是我们的家，这已经是我们不可坐视不管的时候了，请看看大家週围的社区和隣居，我们更应该相互扶持、关心，让美利坚共和国重返民主自由立国的精神。
