What Is 'Radical' and What is 'Indifference' in a Thumbnail Picture of Capitalism?

What Is Radical and What is Indifference in a Thumbnail Picture of Capitalism?

President Trump called the map 'changing' of mainly Africa in the world map as 'Radical'. I know the anti-Trump folks will say that is Trump, but my point is how many times good moves or good people are sadly labelled 'radical'? Although I do not consider it as a big score for Africa, it is nonetheless a win, a step closer to truth . When wrongs are allowed as respite, rectifying them may always seem like Radical to those who benefitted from the wrongs or hate the new direction to truth. Truth is almost synonymous to radical in the world of wrong doing folks. They called Obama radical and did he soften? They called Bernie Sanders and other people Radical for caring ideas and how many may soften? Change is good, if the direction is right. We also need great speed, worldwide conquering. All the presidents, geographers, etc never saw or fought for it? Again , I do not want to waste too much time on this one, but point to radical and indifference as examples. Because many were also indifferent, perhaps including me and you? If Africa is rectified, how about within Africa? Is Gambia's size rectified not just within Africa, but compared to slightly smaller Jamaica? I think we need much more Truth, much more 'radicals', until full 100% truth exists, with or without AI. Well, some people also consider AI radical. How many people consider me radical for truth, or may I never lie in my desire for worldwide changes.

Can the media be more radical, more truthful? The Gambia is where 'communication companies' cannot properly communicate or are just guilty of capitalist indifference? Well, I have evidence on at least the two biggest companies: Africel and Qcell. Both companies sent me a verifiable questionable message. Qcell said add 83 as prefix to Qcell numbers, but a radio station was claiming to add 85 to 5 starting Qcell numbers. A similar reality was Africel's message, almost copying each other , or under the hostage of the same Capitalist devilish mindset? The bigger crime is indifference and refusing to sincerely care for their customers. How hard is it to detail how to call other companies too in your text message(s)? If the communication team is indifferent to truthful messages that may eventually reach the people, then that is time wasting devils, indifference, and inefficient. About five minutes of cross checking for a detailed message versus thousands of customers finding the hard way? Ten thousand or more Qcell or Africel customers trying to call Gamcel or Comium means unnecessary efforts and frustration? If they call your customer service, you are giving more unnecessary work to people and frustration to countless customers. I think you guys may get my point.

However, after a problem, it is good to have a system that quickly fixes the problem and try to avoid such repetitions? How many people or types of people check such messages before being sent to customers? After how many calls or days before internal versus external reactions? Did any media house disparage the guilty companies for the public? The job of the media is not just exposing government wrongs, but how to improve opposition parties through scrutiny , companies, and even influential individuals. I briefly checked the Pura website and some links are not working, nor do they have that important message brought to the main page for a few days? Pura was supposed to help by suggesting the message they should send?

Can you see indifference by multiple parties in the game? The media shaming them publicly can help them understand our small Gambia demands care, not indifference. Through certain mindsets, God may block their minds+. 'Success' to owning or running a company, institution, or even a country does not mean the 'unsuccessful' are stupid or unkind when rectifying you. I demand a better complete caring message to all the customers. Mass mindset uplifting/repenting/amending can also mean God opens our minds+ for much better blessings. Pura or the government should regulate much more towards unlimited calls and/or Internet services. It is Gambian Air and people are already addicted to phones. So having D300 to D500 for unlimited calls is feasible, overdue, and catering for even the laborer as daily-wage pricing... Sometimes you also have to pressure the public, because cheating individuals exist. Without a universal approach, some people may allow the stingy to make calls through those who subscribe to unlimited calls. They may claim 'how about the poor', but the poor give such monies to marabouts, praise singers, etc. The poor will adjust or be dropped. It will actually help the poor and help reduce the shameful practice of 'beep' or call me please, wasting time and exposing the poor and stingy with sad capitalism indifference? Pura can argue it as research for six months, the government can argue it as 'Gambia's air', 'Nigeria's air', ‘Ghana's air', etc. Which other African countries will write editorials or have happy hours for such and fight for implementations? After a successful research or trial , Africa should fight for unlimited Internet access with the international world. If the Gambia or Qcell will pay one million dollars regardless of traffic, it becomes easier for Qcell or xyz to see how to give 'unlimited Internet services ' to its customers. You need thinking fighters internally and externally. Capitalism is brutal but they can be defeated. There are many arguments to make to charge based on the average income of the ordinary laborer per country and to be adjusted every year or five years. There are many other wrongs Africa suffers, wrongs that mean much more than map injustice or rectification. If all the ministers, journalists+, are having unlimited or enough Internet services on their phones+, then indifference at the national level is the karma that may become international indifference, deceptions, etc.

The media should investigate if Gamcel and Comium are guilty of similar crimes. A few days ago, I had an Internet disruption with Gamtel. They are yet to communicate to me and expect me to beg them for compensation? How hard it is to communicate: Mr. Gigo, we are sorry for the service disruption you suffered. We did the calculation, we are compensating you xyz days of service or money. Instead of xyz date, your next payment is due on xyz date.... Apparently, you have to fight constantly or beg to be treated right under capitalism or which types of devils?

Mistakes by individuals are not preferred but can be understandable more than mistakes or repeated mistakes by companies, institutions, or governments. I pray for the truthful Lord to bring enough truthful radicals through humans or AI , and set humankind free from the lying, cruel, and/or indifferent capitalists. The ability to deceive to gain money or power is different from real intelligence. May God also help the truthful much more.
