You know that as a caregiver for my mother, I catch a lot of flack. On that same note, my mother catches a lot of flack for needing me to be her caregiver. That includes me dealing with the City of Wetumka and the City of Oklahoma City. It makes someone like me wonder how would someone like Mayor David Holt or better yet Mayor Norma Marshall do as a Caregiver in my place. If I had to make a guess they would not last 24 hours considering all I have to use to keep most of what I do straight. That means they would most likely nuke my k3s cluster for one. That wound in turn kill Home Assistant which I use as her alarm clock to change the channel on my Roku TV. That would also kill Grocy (which I need to play catch up on) which helps me keep track of what stuff we have in the house like food and kitchen supplies. That would also kill Tandoor which is a fill-in-as-you-go cookbook-like software. That would also kill Fireflyiii which is budgeting software I just started using to keep track of the money I can see in both my and my mother's bank accounts. Last but not least it would also kill Joplin which is note-taking and syncing software.
Now mind you that is just the software I use to stuff straight being My Mother's Caregiver. Oh wait I forgot that I also use Home Assistant for appointment reminders so yeah that would die too. I mean the City of Wetumka is charging the people of Wetumka $22 a month for two trash cans when they didn't even give them two trash cans to begin with. The City of Wetumka is charging one of the employees of the Wetumka Housing Authority $700+ a month for what I'm going to guess for both Electric and Water. I would also have to guess that out of that $700+ bill most of it is for Electric since that is where most of the money comes in for the City of Wetumka. The funny part of all of this is that when we moved here about 15 years ago it seemed nicer. You know like the people somewhat cared for each other in some way. That doesn't seem to be the case now though as it stopped being that way when James Jackson was Mayor. Now it seems to be more of a “if you are not in our circle then we don't know you” kind of place.
The City of Wetumka fails to understand that having such a mindset is the reason why they are having problems with getting business into Wetumka Oklahoma. They also fail to understand that their actions against the people of Wetumka make them want to leave and never come back. That in turn makes businesses not want to do business in Wetumka Oklahoma. After all, businesses will look at the data that is important to them and that includes how many people move in and out of an area they are looking at. Businesses will also look at the data that relates to cost as in the cost of doing business in the area they are looking at. If businesses don't like the looks of the data then they will not do business in that area. This is not restricted to just the City level either.
I think I made my point clear. Just in case I didn't my point it's if you treat people like shit then they will leave or go against you in some way. They will show others why they left or went against you. They will show others how bad of a place is and who made it that way. They might even advocate what needs to change before letting up on how bad a place or person is. In most cases, places get abandoned or people die before such changes happen. So you don't want it to get that bad because if it does it will be too late.
