Hello!I know this one for you…Unsurprisingly, Trump’s way off, again! Republicans have concocted a message of their own that they repeat endlessly: Do-nothing congressional Democrats have failed to work across the aisle or to generate any useful legislation since Trump arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.This flat-out fabrication is no surprise coming from the man of 15,000 lies and his evil, Republican toadies. And, as disinformation specialists know so well, repeat a lie often enough and a certain portion of the populace will believe it’s true. You can fool some of the people all of the time, and that obviously can be enough to achieve whatever scheme you have in mind. Saying Democrats have not done anything can act like an ad jingle, permanently engraving BS on the brain of fooled people.But as always, I’ll provide you the facts and figures. Below is a linked list of bills the House had passed as of Dec. 5, 283 of which Democrats call “bipartisan.” To get that label, a bill only requires a single vote from across the aisle, and a few of these bills only received one. But some received overwhelming Republican support in the House. This makes no difference to McConnell.Of the 383 bills that have been passed by the House, 82% are still bottled up in the Senate. This list does not include House resolutions. If you click here, you can see bills and resolutions that have passed the House and the Senate and become law, bills that have passed the House and the Senate and are awaiting action by the White House, and bills that have passed the House and are awaiting action in the Senate.LIST OF BILLS PASSED BY THE HOUSE AND AWAITING ACTION IN THE SENATESource: Search Bills in CongressExamples of Bipartisan House Bills Stalled in the Senate Include:H.R.5, Equality ActH.R.6, The American Dream and Promise ActH.R.7, Paycheck Fairness ActH.R.8, Bipartisan Background Checks ActH.R.9, Climate Action Now ActH.R.987, Protecting People With Pre-Existing Conditions/Lowering Drug CostsH.R.582, Raise The Wage ActH.R.397, Rehabilitation For Multiemployer Pensions Act (The Butch Lewis Act)H.R.1585, Violence Against Women Reauthorization ActH.R.1644, Save The Internet ActH.R 2722, Securing America’s Federal Elections (SAFE) ActH.R.2513, The Corporate Transparency ActH.R.1112, Enhanced Background ChecksH.R.1994, Secure Act/Gold Star Family Tax Relief ActH.R.205, 1146, 1941 – Banning Offshore Drilling on Atlantic, Pacific, Eastern Gulf & ANWR CoastsH.R.1423, Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal (FAIR) ActMore than 30 bills to support veteransOther Examples of Bills Stalled in the Senate that Democrats Support:H.R.1, For The People ActH.R.4617, Stopping Harmful Interference in Elections for a Lasting Democracy (SHIELD) ActH.R.1500, Consumers First ActThe first 283 are “bipartisan.” The final 32 were supported by Democrats only.H.R. 648: Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (10 Republican Votes)H.R. 21: Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (7 Republican Votes)H.R. 2440: Full Utilization of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund Act (79 Republican votes)H.R. 693: U.S. Senator Joseph D.

So I dare you Trump fans to refute this and make the false claim again that the House of Representatives isn’t looking out for the well-being of the American people. INCLUDING YOURSELVES!!!Sources: Search Bills in Congress and You know that trainload of hundreds of bills Senate Republicans have blocked? Here's a linked list

There are several ways. It depends a great deal on what sort of background or training you have. It also depends a great deal on the tribe.If your goal is to learn about a native culture, you should know that are are often many people employed by tribes who succeed in learning very little. I was often amazed at the occasional scandals caused by Anglo employees (that means non-Native of any sort in the SW) because they somehow had not learned basic cultural norms or taboos. Many times these people had been employed for a significant time.If this is your goal, you would want to choose a reservation carefully. You want one that has a majority Native American population so you can be immersed in the culture. Not all places are like this. It would be better if it is remote so you spend most your time there and so there is housing as part of the job. If you lived off reservation in a nearby town and commuted to a job it is unlikely that you will learn what you wish to learn. It would be a good idea to study the language before you go if it is a place were a significant portion of the people still speak it. You want to choose a job that is not seen as hostile by the community. You do not want to take any job related to a church or missionary enterprise. You would want to choose a fairly large tribe so you can have more possibilities to learn. You should remember that in any rural place often most of the people have known each other and their families for their whole lives. It can take a long time to get to know a new person. Outsiders that come in for a job for a year of two are seen as just passing through. People may view you as merely doing this for your selfish desires. On some reservations there is intense racial and cultural hostility and racism from nearby white communities. You might be lumped with them. Some tribal groups had horrible things happen to many people. For some people it was done to their parents of their grandparents. It is not the distant past. There may be resentments and suspicions. In some places there is a regular parade of missionaries who wish to force change on people and show how much better they are. In other laces you might be fully welcomed very soon. Different culture s ave different attitudes and histories,There are four main types of employer you could have on a reservation. You could be hired by a tribal government, by a tribally owned business, by the federal government, or sometimes by a school district that is on tribal lands.As of January 2018, there are now 573 federally recognized tribes. Each tribe is a separate political entity with its own government. Think of them as 573 mostly small states. There are about 326 reservations. There are about 224 Alaska Native Village corporations. There are 13 Alaska Native Regional Corporations. There is a great deal of variation. There is no central “Native American job site”.Some of the bigger tribes employ a fair number of people. The biggest two have over 300,000 enrolled members. Many have a land base that is 1000 acres or less. The largest land base is the Navajo Tribe with 27,000 sq miles. The 13 Alaska Native Regional Corporations and villages that control between them 69,000 sq miles.For those jobs with tribes, to get an idea of the variety of jobs possible, you could think of all the sorts of jobs that a small state or very large county would have. Some are very small and employ almost no one. But some employ many people. Most have tribal preference for employment, but for specialized or professional jobs they need people and don’t have enough trained tribal members. So, if you are a certified teacher, principal, doctor, dentist, nurse, psychologist, or social worker there are often jobs. Many need lawyers, but you might have to pass a tribal Bar exam. In places police are needed for the tribal police force. I would not recommend this job to learn about the culture. Just as any policing job, you will mainly see problems all day. Depending on the tribe there may be jobs like fisheries manager or forestry or agriculture, or natural resources. Often these jobs are listed on a tribal website. Some are listed on basic job search sites.The Navajo Nation for example, employs people in all these Departments:Dept of Education, EPA, Community Development, Economic development, Public safety, Emergency Medical services, Fire and Rescue, Fleet management, IT, Transit, Telecom, Health, Broadcast, Labor relations, Fish and wildlife, Water management, Museum, Archeology, Agriculture, Land, Rangers, Historic preservation, Parks, Controller, Transportation, Social Services. Judicial, Auditor, Elections, Human Rights, Tax Commission. Management and Budget. Many other tribes have similar departments.Some tribes have legal aide organizations. The Navajo Nation, which I know best has the DNA, It is a non-profit. Dinébe’iiná Náhiiłna be Agha’diit’ahii which means “attorneys who work for the economic revitalization of The People”. I have known lawyer friends who have worked for them, YA’AT’EEH | WELCOME There are other non profits (legal aid and others) on other tribal nations.Then there are jobs on reservations that are through the Federal government. Some are through the BIA in the Department of Interior and some are through the Indian Health Service (IHS) which is within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you are a trained medical professional or gong to school to be one, working at an IHS health clinic or hospital is an option. Some locations are so remote that they offer loan repayment as well as salary in order to get people to work there. In those locations housing is provided. In places they are mobile homes. In some places, the BIA runs the schools. In other places the tribe does. In still other places there is a school district that hires the teachers. I would not recommend working for a BIA school in most places.In the town I lived in, Kayenta, on the Navajo Nation, there is a public school district. There are many others on the reservation. I just looked at the website and this year they needed an English teacher, fifth grade teacher, elementary teacher, preschool coordinator, middles school language arts, Math, special ed, social studies, and a reading specialist.These are the qualifications:Valid Arizona State Teaching Certificate for the elementary, middle, or secondary levelValid Arizona State Fingerprint Clearance cardDegree(s) required and area of major study and/or 24 content hoursAppropriate endorsementsValid Structured English Immersion (SEI) endorsementSuccessful student teaching experience at the elementary, middle, or secondary levelIt is a town of 5,000 and it is 93% Native American. There are 2000 kids in the schools, which draw from a larger area than the town. It is about 2 hours drive from any major city. They offer housing with the job with monthly rental fees that range from $170 to $225. There are health benefits and a Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program of up to $17,000. In the nearby (45 minute drive) Shonto Tech Prep they need high school summer school teachers in English, Math and Science this summer.Some tribes own business as well and employ people that way. However, mostly this would not be a good way to learn anything about a local culture. This would be working for a hotel or resort or ski area or casino or restaurant. In Washington State, for example, the 29 Tribes employ 30,000 people. Many of the employees are non tribal members. They add $3.5 billion to the state’s economy, pay $1.3 billion in wages, pay $268 million in state business taxes, and buy $2.4 billion in goods and services. If I look at a basic job search site for tribal jobs you get over 100 right now. However there are some tribes where the tribal business would be fully inside the culture and a good place to meet people.In Alaska, the Native corporations are even bigger economically. They employ 45,489 worldwide employees, with 14,563 in Alaska. They have 119,000 Native Alaskan shareholders. Alaska Native Corporations listed in the Alaska Business Monthly Top 49 corporations accounted for 74 percent of the total revenue earned, 64 percent of the total Alaska jobs, and 84 percent of all the employees working for those 49 companies. Aggregated reported 2015 gross revenue for the twelve regional corporations is $8.5 billion.So, there are ways to get a job in a Native American community and live there. But there is not one simple route. I would say that it can be a life changing and very meaningful thing to do.

It's not entirely clear what the UN would do to improve the situation even if they had any sort of power over the situation in China.I'm going to guess that by "the exploitation of people" you're talking about factory workers and not the hundreds of millions of people living in abject poverty in the chinese countryside. Here is an introduction to the life they live (http://www.ruralpovertyportal.org/country/home/tags/china) :Despite its remarkable progress in economic and social development and poverty reduction, China still faces many challenges to reduce residual poverty. Disparities in income among provinces and between urban and rural areas have been widening. Urban incomes are now more than three times higher than rural incomes, and poverty remains primarily a rural phenomenon.Between 50 and 55 per cent of the population resides in rural areas, where about two-thirds of the population is engaged in farming, forestry, animal husbandry and fishing. About 40 per cent of total employment in China is in rural areas. The poorest rural households tend to derive a large share of their income from agricultural activities, which often show low levels of productivity and net profits.The most vulnerable groups in rural parts of China are women, children and the elderly, as well as ethnic minorities who live in remote mountainous areas. The increasing migration of rural male labourers to urban and eastern coastal areas has sharply extended the feminization of rural labour and agriculture.Economic growth has been more rapid in the eastern provinces than in the west. About 40 per cent of China's poor people live in its seven autonomous regions and provinces. These areas are mostly situated in the central and western parts of the country, where the poverty incidence in 2008 was 11 per cent, compared with the national average of 4.2 per cent.And here is a more "colorful" (though old) look into the life of rural residents in china : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4782194.stmIn these conditions, you can understand why people might be willing to accept terrible working conditions just to escape this nightmare. Who is the UN to tell them that they should stay in the countryside barely surviving on subsistance farming, just because it makes westerners squeamish to think about their working conditions? And by the way, what exactly do you know about the working conditions of chinese factory workers?Are you aware for example of the extremely fast growth of chinese factory workers salaries? From the WSJ (http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424127887324767004578488233119290670) :Wages in the China's manufacturing sector have risen 71% since 2008, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. Improvements in labor productivity, which the World Bank estimates is growing at about 8.3% a year, offset some but not all of the wage growth.An executive with Guangdong Sunrise Houseware Corp.—a maker of high-end kitchenware for export—said last year the firm's labor costs rose at least 30%. "We have more than 600 workers, many of them left last year," he said. "When you hire new people you found that the average wage level had already risen."Here is an article from CNN about the experience of chinese female immigrant workers ( http://edition.cnn.com/2012/09/30/opinion/chang-chinese-factory-workers) :A young woman leaves her farming village at age 16 to find work in a distant city. With three younger children at home, her parents can't afford to keep her in school.Her first job, on a factory assembly line, pays only $50 a month. Over two years she takes night-school classes, gets a series of secretarial jobs, and lands a coveted position in a factory's purchasing department that pays more than $1,000 a month.She meets a young man, a fellow migrant; they marry and have two children. The couple saves enough money to buy an apartment for her parents and a secondhand Buick for themselves. Then the young woman leaves her daughters in the temporary care of her husband and his parents, so she can return to the city to work again. "A person should have some ambition while she is young," she writes, "so that in old age she can look back on her life and feel that it was not lived to no purpose."...The workers figured out who were the best employers, took private classes to learn computer or secretarial skills and talked their way into higher-paying jobs. They became the chief earners in their families and challenged long-held traditions. They urged their parents to keep younger siblings in school; they resisted pressure to marry early and return to a way of life they no longer wanted."Income from migrant work is the biggest source of wealth accumulation in rural China."For these young women, the factory experience could not be boiled down to a set of working conditions. It also changed their lives.Surveys have shown that Chinese migrants are younger and better educated than the people who stay behind in the village, and that they choose to leave home as much to see the world and to develop new skills as to earn money.Factory work is an informed choice, not a desperate response to poverty. Other studies by Chinese and Western scholars show that migration fuels economic growth, social mobility and the spread of progressive ideas. Income from migrant work is the biggest source of wealth accumulation in rural China.By 2025, McKinsey & Co. has estimated, the Chinese middle class will swell to 520 million people, most of them former migrants who have done well in the cities and stayed.One study has shown that having done migrant work makes a rural woman more likely to choose her own husband, to give birth in a hospital, and to seek equality in marriage. It's possible to acknowledge that the Chinese factory regime has immense problems but that it also brings benefits to individuals within that system. Perhaps Chinese workers deserve our interest and respect instead of our pity.What do you know? Maybe, just maybe those people are actually making a choice for themselves and fighting for better lives, instead of simply acting like sheep on their way to the slaughterhouse.“Within the region, China is the stand out in terms of salary increases. Clearly the Chinese workforce is aware of their market worth and is more confident about their negotiating position. Looking ahead, over 80 per cent of employers in China expect to increase salaries above six per cent. By comparison, in Japan 98 per cent expect to offer six per cent or less.“According to our survey of employers, in the next 12 months 64 per cent of employers expect business activity to increase and 41 per cent expect their permanent staff levels to increase. This means that those candidates with in-demand skills and realistic salary expectations can be confident that this year will provide them with the opportunity to secure a challenging career move and a salary increase. (http://www.hays.cn/en/press-releases/HAYS_014337)In some areas factory wages have improved so much that they are starting to compete with white collar jobs (due to the overabundance of chinese youth with college degrees). From the NYT (As Graduates Rise in China, Office Jobs Fail to Keep Up) :But today, new computer science graduates are so plentiful that their pay in Shenzhen has fallen to just $550 a month, less than double the wage of a blue-collar worker. And that is without adjusting for inflation over the last decade. Consumer prices have risen 29 percent in Shenzhen, according to official data that many economists say understates the true increase in consumer prices.If Mr. Wang were willing to take a factory job, his interest in indoor design might take him to Hongyuan Furniture, a manufacturer of home saunas a 45-minute drive south across Guangzhou from his home.The factory now offers newcomers 2,500 renminbi a month, about $395, before overtime. Six-person dorm rooms have been replaced with two-person apartments. Workers no longer have to hand over part of their wages to the foreman. Instead, the factory now pays a bonus to foremen of $8 to $16 for each month that a new blue-collar employee stays on the job. Yet the factory still struggles to find workers.The company’s labor costs per worker — wages plus benefits — have been rising 30 percent or more each year. That is faster than the national pace of 21 percent for migrant workers, although there have been signs that pace may have slowed recently with a broader deceleration in the Chinese economy. And it is considerably faster than the 13 percent annual increase in minimum wages — roughly three times inflation — that the government has mandated through 2015.Obviously my intention here is not to demonstrate that working for a chinese factory is heaven on earth. What I'm saying is that the kind of angelism and naivety demonstrated by this question might actually be counterproductive. China is in the process of lifting a billion people out of poverty in less than a half-century, I think it's time we have some respect for the work and the sacrifices of the chinese people, instead of desperately trying to always paint them as victims. I'll borrow my conclusion from the China Labour Bulletin (Wages in China) :China no longer has an inexhaustible supply of young workers from the countryside willing to work endless hours on production lines for mere subsistence wages. Labour shortages combined with a new determination and ability of workers to organize collectively has meant that manufacturers have been forced to pay higher wages or alternatively, in some cases, close down and relocate to lower cost areas such as Bangladesh and Cambodia.But while wages for factory employees and other low income workers have certainly increased, the rate of increase has not kept pace with that of higher income earners, leading to greater income disparity in China. Moreover, the higher cost of living has meant that low income earners still spend a disproportionately high percentage of their take home pay on daily necessities such as food, housing and transport.Tackling the widening gap between the rich and the poor in China is now one of the top priorities of the new leadership in Beijing. In February 2013, the State Council issued a wide-range of policies, including boosting the wages of low income earners and capping SOE executive pay, but these measures are unlikely to really get to the root of the problem. One crucial issue that remains unresolved, for example, is the lack of an effective social and medical welfare safety net that would allow low income earners to spend more freely on goods and services rather than having to save a high proportion of their income, as is currently the case.Ultimately however, for wages to rise to a decent level, China will have to develop a system of enterprise-level collective bargaining that will allow managers and workers to negotiate reasonable pay and conditions, based on company profitability, worker productivity and the local cost of living.
