On National Day of Action, Hundreds of New Yorkers Say: Washington Must Move Now on Immigration Reform, Halt Deportations

 

Statewide Campaign Demands Fairness and Equality for Immigrants in New York and Nationwide

 

(New York, NY) On a warm spring day, New York’s Foley Square was packed with New Yorkers - old and young, workers and students, families and faith leaders, elected officials and labor, immigrants and their allies - united with one message: inaction is not an option. New Yorkers for Real Immigration Reform, the statewide campaign organized by the New York Immigration Coalition, coordinated the rally as part of a national “Day of Action” for immigrants’ rights. In Los Angeles and in New York, advocates made clear that Congress needs to move immediately to pass immigration reform, that the Administration must stop deporting over a thousand people every day, and that immigrant communities refuse to wait any longer.

 

With deportations reaching over 2 million in the last six years – approximately 400,000 deportations a year since 2008 – New York’s immigrants and their families have suffered immensely while our Federal elected officials have failed to reach a fair and workable solution to our broken immigration system. At the rally, speakers representing New York’s diverse communities urged the Administration and members of Congress to act immediately to pass immigration reform and bring an end to the deportations that have torn immigrant families apart. Throughout the rally, speakers shared the same sentiment: that our communities will not stop fighting until we pass comprehensive immigration reform that honors family, bolsters the economy, serves the public interest, and provides a path to citizenship for undocumented Americans –our patience is running out.

Steven Choi, executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition, opened the rally by saying, “There is a crisis in our immigrant communities, with our families continuing to be ripped apart and hope torn asunder by destructive immigration policies. It is high time that Congress get on the right side of history and pass a bill that allows people to come out of the shadows and become citizens. It is high time that the Administration brings an end to the deportations that have decimated our communities. The level of inaction from Washington on the issue of immigration reform is a national disgrace. We will do what we can in the meantime to support our immigrant communities – like pushing forward municipal IDs for all New Yorkers regardless of status, or fighting for the New York State DREAM Act – but our Federal elected leaders must step up immediately and provide relief for the millions of immigrants waiting for solutions. Our communities will not - and cannot – simply wait any longer, and we demand that our politicians step up and show true courage and leadership.”

 

New York’s top elected officials, faith and labor leaders, immigrant advocates, and members of affected communities also came together to share stories highlighting the suffering that New Yorkers have faced in light of Congress’ stalemate.

 

“I am proud to stand side by side with advocates on this immigrant day of action, urging Congress to pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” said Councilmember Carlos Menchaca, chair of the Immigration Committee in City Council. “At the local level, I will fight for a reform package that doesn't undercut important immigrant community needs. Congress needs to come together to end the suffering of our immigrant families and put them on a path to real security.”

 

“Comprehensive Immigration Reform isn't some passing political issue, it is a movement that will define a generation,” said Byron Silva, assistant business manager at Laborers’ Local 78.

 

“Immigration reform has been used as a political football for long enough,” said Janet Baharona, a cleaner in Manhattan who is a member of 32BJ SEIU. “Congress’ inaction – and the silence of my Congressman Michael Grimm – is tearing families in my community apart and pushing more and more hard working immigrants into the shadows and into poverty. Voters will hold Rep. Grimm and accountable for his actions.”

 

“For too long House Speaker John Boehner has let a small faction in the Republican party hold immigration reform hostage,’’ said S.J. Jung, president of MinKwon Center for Community Action. "Our NY Republican Congress Members now have a chance to break this stonewall by signing on to the discharge petition. We are done with lip service and delaying tactics! The Asian American and immigrant communities across the nation demand real immigration reform now!”

 

"Immigration reform is just as important to American citizens as it is to those whom are undocumented," said Magdolyn Kawas, member of the Arab American Association of New York. "Many of us were born and raised here, and still our communities continue to suffer from a broken immigration system. My father came to the U.S. for a better future for his family but, because of his immigration status, we are forced to live apart. As someone impacted and as a voter, I'm calling on Congress to take action. We need real reforms that will reunite me with my father and bring thousands of families back together."

 

“While we are resolved more than ever to put pressure on the House to act on comprehensive immigration, we are seriously concerned by the devastating impact of the deportations that have been tearing apart our communities,” said Imam Souleymane Konate with African Services Committee. “Seizing on the anniversary of the historic April 10th rally, we are appealing to the administration help build families, but not to destroy them.”

 

"Immigration reform is absolutely necessary. As a Catholic and a DREAMer, I strongly believe that immigrants need to be treated equally and recognized as part of this nation in soul, heart and mind. Let's make humane reform a reality,” said Dennisse Pizarro, an undocumented youth with Cabrini Immigrant Services of NYC. “To congress and the white house: it is is said that we can make a change if we all work together"

 

"This is not a political issue for pundits to opine over, this is an issue of civil rights, respect, and basic human dignity. Washington has procrastinated for far too long, the need for reform is urgent and the time is now!" said Don Elisa-Garcia, member of La Fuente.

Whoops... I felt bad... I should've told her how long the shutter was on for coz she kept walking and walking and it felt like forever.. haha. But! The photo came out! So yes, thank you Nerd for all your help ;p

Would you believe I'm actually wearing a thong?

Climate change induced degradation of land could be the inheritance of inaction regarding climate change. This picture shows the quick process of land degradation near Kosh Agach village, Altai region, Russia. Dangerous wind and water erosion of land requires urgent measures on adaptation, specifically through aforestation and forest belts planting in this area, which is the aim of a USAID-funded project in this area.

The deer herd at the Jay Property take cover in the invasive multiflora rose thicket on the site.

 

Invasive shrubs that have deliberately been allowed to proliferate for literally decades provide cover for these animals and protected places to breed. This increasingly destabilizing combination of deer and invasive plants and vines is reducing the biodiversity of flora and fauna on the Jay Property, threatening the ecology of this important place and negatively diminishing the health of surrounding residential lands. The invasives also provide cover for coyotes tracking the deer.

 

Chris Graseck, President of Friends of Marshlands, told Rye reporters "Because deer graze on native plants and avoid invasive species like the multi-floral rose, Graseck said the deer "make it very difficult to do any habitat restoration. If the county were to remove the invasives and reintroduce more native species, the deer would quickly devour the plants and consequently leave the property again vulnerable to invasives."

 

This is circular thinking and only promotes inaction allowing destructive invasives to spread further and crowd out fragile natives indefinitely.

 

Ironically these plants are identified, cautioned against, and removed by Westchester County Parks at its other properties but not in Rye. See Westchester County Parks brochure on invasive plants: www.nativeplantcenter.org/Invasive Brochure.pdf

 

Said JHC President Suzanne Clary, "The Jay Heritage Center respectfully disagrees with Chris Graseck and Friends of Marshlands. We agree with NY Audubon which believes that invasive species like the multiflora roses should be removed as part of a thoughtful stewardship and regular habitat management plan. Both shrub birds and grassland birds would benefit. It is important to send the right message to the public -- don't give up and propagate alien, non-native plants in your backyard - be proactive and save our endangered native species and the wildlife that need them."

 

ny.audubon.org/BirdSci_HudsonRiverValleyConservation-Deci...

 

"Maintain enough habitat and connect “open-space” – Grassland birds need relatively large fields (20 acres and larger, depending on the species and the landscape). A small grassland patch surrounded by open space, even if the surrounding fields are not grasslands, is better for grassland birds than a grassland surrounded by trees.

Clean up fence lines – Although hedgerows provide important habitat for some wildlife, along with other benefits such as erosion control and wind and snow breaks, even small trees and shrubs pose problems for grassland birds. A line of brush or trees delineates the edge of a grassland habitat patch to birds that prefer large grasslands for breeding. Also, hedgerows and brush lines attract weasels, raccoons, skunks, foxes, crows, and more—all species that eat grassland bird eggs and nestlings. Reducing the woody corridors that intrude into or border grasslands helps young grassland birds to survive.

Control shrubs and woody vegetation in the field – Abandoned fields make good grassland bird habitat, but only for a few years. Once shrubs and saplings are established the habitat quickly becomes unsuitable for grassland birds, and bringing it back into good condition becomes more difficult and more expensive. If a field is large enough to be used by grassland birds, a regular plan of mowing, haying, or grazing is important to keep it as grassland, but timing is crucial (see the following note)! Mowing each patch every 2 or 3 years, or a rotating fraction (1/3 or 1/2 of the patch) each year, is preferable to mowing annually.

 

Grassland habitat

Time mowing and hay-cutting to allow young grassland birds to escape – The nests, eggs, and flightless young of ground-nesting grassland birds are obviously vulnerable to the tractor wheels and mowing equipment. The following mowing/haying dates are ranked in order of value to breeding grassland birds from highest to lowest:

After 20 August only.

Once before 20 May, and once after 20 August. The following options will allow only limited successful breeding:

Once before 1 June.

After 20 July only.

Maintain a healthy mix of grass and other beneficial plants – Both native plants (such as goldenrod and some asters) and non-natives (knapweeds, mugwort, and honeysuckles) can easily spread in grasslands. Regular mowing (as soon as possible after the dates listed above) helps maintain healthy grasslands. For some invasive species, more aggressive techniques are needed, such as early spot-mowing (mowing only the affected “spot” in the field) to prevent flowering and spread of seeds, or other controls for heavy infestations.

When grazing, keep stocking rates low enough to maintain nesting cover – High-intensity grazing (including rotational grazing) removes the vegetation needed as cover for grassland bird nests, exposing the nests to severe weather and predators and also subjects nests to a greater risk of trampling. Maintaining “refuge patches” that are not grazed is also a critical component of any sound rotational grazing prescription that advertises wildlife benefits. Grazing at low intensities is also extremely useful for maintaining open, grassy fields, although occasional mowing (after the breeding season) is sometimes needed. "

  

ny.audubon.org/BirdSci_HudsonRiverValleyConservation-Deci...

 

"Maintain adequate patch size

Shrub habitats between 5-25 acres will provide habitat to a number of the at-risk species; in general, larger is better. However, smaller, isolated patches less than 5 acres can also provide habitat to some of the at-risk species.

Control woody vegetation

The mechanism and frequency of management you employ will depend on the current structure and species make up of the area you are interested in managing; tree species require more management compared to shrubs. On average, shrub habitats need to be managed every 5-10 years, sometimes less frequently.

 

If you have:

Existing shrub habitat without trees (i.e., areas with shrubs interspersed with openings of grasses and forbs), management may be required only every 2-4 years (sometimes less frequently) to prevent the openings from reverting to forest. Management options for maintaining these areas include mechanical mowing, selective removal of trees if they appear, prescribed burning, or grazing.

Existing shrub habitat with trees, trees should be removed by stumping and mowing every one to three years, perhaps coupled with an herbicide application to control trees that may attempt to resprout. The remaining area should be managed as noted above in #1.

An area dominated by trees, shrub habitat can be created by clear cutting and then managing the area every one to three years to remove regenerating late-successional, or shade-tolerant, trees while maintaining the shrub structure. These areas will initially require aggressive management using land clearing equipment such as a hydroaxe, Brown Brontosaurus, tree shear, or hand removal with chainsaws in smaller patches to remove larger unwanted trees, followed by less frequent action (e.g., every three to five years) to maintain the habitat. Once the shrub habitat is established, it can be maintained as noted above in #1.

Time your management activities so it doesn’t harm birds

Mowing should not be done during the nesting season (April 15 to August 15) and can take place without serious impacts to wildlife during late fall and winter. However, if trying to control invading tree species, mowing should take place as soon after August 1 as possible, because mowing during the growing season helps to minimize resprouting.

Control Invasives

Invasive plants should be removed because many are aggressive and will displace desirable native species if not controlled. For example, autumn olive and multiflora rose can become well established and dominant in two to three years."

  

BOTTOM LINE : The Jay Property in Rye needs a stewardship plan ( and there is one - an award winning, 2002 Cultural Landscape Report by Heritage Landscapes). Invasives should be removed. Appropriate meadow and shrub habitats can then be restored with native plants and the community can follow this example of management in their own backyards.

 

Westchester County already has an Executive Order in place which mandates the removal of invasives in County Parks and invasives have already been controlled in other parks like Ward Pound Ridge, Lasdon and Lenoir with great success along with reintroduction of native plants and shrubs, many of which are deer resistant.

“You don’t need validation or approval from anyone but yourself. Even if the entire world goes against, disagrees with or attempts to crush you, stand up for what you believe in, and stand up alone if you have to! It’s better to die while living your own truth than to live in the truth of another. Lord Krishna in the holy Bhagavad Gita pointed this out when he said;

 

“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection.”

 

Integrity is the key to freedom. It’s only your own truth that can ‘set you free.’ It’s perfectly fine if your truth doesn’t match that of others because the experience of physical reality is a completely subjective one. It doesn’t make either of you wrong, as long as you’re both being true to yourselves, that’s all that matters.”

“When it comes down to it, government is simply an abandonment of responsibility on the assumption that there are people, other than ourselves, who really know how to manage things. But the government, run ostensibly for the good of the people, becomes a self-serving corporation. To keep things under control, it proliferates law of ever-increasing complexity and unintelligibility, and hinders productive work by demanding so much accounting on paper that the record of what has been done becomes more important than what has actually been done. [...] The Taoist moral is that people who mistrust themselves and one another are doomed.”

“There has been more bloodshed in the name of God than for any other cause. And it is all because people never attempt to reach the fountain-head. They are content only to comply with the customs of their forefathers and instructions on some books, and want others to do the same. But, to explain God after merely reading the scriptures is like explaining the city of New York after seeing it only in a map.”

“Perhaps terror and peace became the same thing when life's mysteries were unveiled. In the Bhagavad Gita, when Krishna reveals his divine form at Arjuna's request, Arjuna is terrified at seeing what no mortal can stand to see.

“You don’t need validation or approval from anyone but yourself. Even if the entire world goes against, disagrees with or attempts to crush you, stand up for what you believe in, and stand up alone if you have to! It’s better to die while living your own truth than to live in the truth of another. Lord Krishna in the holy Bhagavad Gita pointed this out when he said;

 

“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection.”

 

Integrity is the key to freedom. It’s only your own truth that can ‘set you free.’ It’s perfectly fine if your truth doesn’t match that of others because the experience of physical reality is a completely subjective one. It doesn’t make either of you wrong, as long as you’re both being true to yourselves, that’s all that matters.”

“being attached to any one philosophy or religion

dwelling on moot differences and wanting to fit in

despite the path all are led Home in time

following an alternative pathway is certainly no crime

Krishna, Buddha, Allah or Zohar Kabbalah

devoted nonviolently, one is led to Nirvana

Hindu Sages, Zen Masters or Christian Mystics

many tongues, but identical truth spoken from their lips

mentioning Self or no-self or God is Father or Mother

according to their culture emphasizing one method or another

allness vs. nothingness, meditation vs. prayer

devotion in practice is all you should care

when Truth reveals itself you're beyond all conception

then not a single man-made word will hold any traction”

Vancouver, BC / Canada - October 25, 2019: Swedish teenage climate activist, Greta Thunberg, leads a throng of 15,000 on a march through the streets of Vancouver to protest inaction on climate change.

An estimated 350 people march in front of the White House June 1, 1987 protesting President Ronald Reagan’s inaction on the AIDS crisis.

 

D.C. police wearing long yellow gloves later arrested 64 of the protesters who sat down on Pennsylvania Avenue blocking traffic chanting, “Testing is not a cure for AIDS” and “Reagan, Reagan, Too Little, Too late.”

 

The demonstration was concurrent with the Third International Conference on AIDS at the Washington Hilton where 6,000 gathered in the largest meeting on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

 

Vice President Bush addressed the group and was roundly booed when he called for expanded testing.

 

Dr. Michael a prominent Los Angeles immunologist attending the conference responded, "That's a new high in insensitivity. We are here to battle a terrible plague. That is not what we need from our leaders."

 

Among those arrested at the White House demonstrations was Leonard P. Matlovich, a former Air Force sergeant who was expelled from the service in 1975 after admitting he was gay.

 

Matlovich won a suit against the Air Force over its ban on gay and lesbian service members and received $160,000 in an out-of-court settlement.

 

Matlovich wore his old Air Force jacket with a Purple Heart and Bronze Star pinned to it as police handcuffed him.

 

"If I can spend three years fighting for democracy in Vietnam, I can spend an hour in jail fighting for our lives," he said. "What we need is a Manhattan Project [top scientists assembled during WWII to develop the atomic bomb] on AIDS, an all-out fight."

After about half an hour of glaring at the door I decided I'd just pick up a paintbrush and start. The devil makes work for idle hands and all that jazz. A short time later, and after using a few spraycans (which i said i wouldn't use), I give you 'Peepers'. What exactly it's on about is for you to decide...

On National Day of Action, Hundreds of New Yorkers Say: Washington Must Move Now on Immigration Reform, Halt Deportations

 

Statewide Campaign Demands Fairness and Equality for Immigrants in New York and Nationwide

 

(New York, NY) On a warm spring day, New York’s Foley Square was packed with New Yorkers - old and young, workers and students, families and faith leaders, elected officials and labor, immigrants and their allies - united with one message: inaction is not an option. New Yorkers for Real Immigration Reform, the statewide campaign organized by the New York Immigration Coalition, coordinated the rally as part of a national “Day of Action” for immigrants’ rights. In Los Angeles and in New York, advocates made clear that Congress needs to move immediately to pass immigration reform, that the Administration must stop deporting over a thousand people every day, and that immigrant communities refuse to wait any longer.

 

With deportations reaching over 2 million in the last six years – approximately 400,000 deportations a year since 2008 – New York’s immigrants and their families have suffered immensely while our Federal elected officials have failed to reach a fair and workable solution to our broken immigration system. At the rally, speakers representing New York’s diverse communities urged the Administration and members of Congress to act immediately to pass immigration reform and bring an end to the deportations that have torn immigrant families apart. Throughout the rally, speakers shared the same sentiment: that our communities will not stop fighting until we pass comprehensive immigration reform that honors family, bolsters the economy, serves the public interest, and provides a path to citizenship for undocumented Americans –our patience is running out.

Bottom Center: Steven Choi emcees the rally

 

Steven Choi, executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition, opened the rally by saying, “There is a crisis in our immigrant communities, with our families continuing to be ripped apart and hope torn asunder by destructive immigration policies. It is high time that Congress get on the right side of history and pass a bill that allows people to come out of the shadows and become citizens. It is high time that the Administration brings an end to the deportations that have decimated our communities. The level of inaction from Washington on the issue of immigration reform is a national disgrace. We will do what we can in the meantime to support our immigrant communities – like pushing forward municipal IDs for all New Yorkers regardless of status, or fighting for the New York State DREAM Act – but our Federal elected leaders must step up immediately and provide relief for the millions of immigrants waiting for solutions. Our communities will not - and cannot – simply wait any longer, and we demand that our politicians step up and show true courage and leadership.”

 

New York’s top elected officials, faith and labor leaders, immigrant advocates, and members of affected communities also came together to share stories highlighting the suffering that New Yorkers have faced in light of Congress’ stalemate.

 

“I am proud to stand side by side with advocates on this immigrant day of action, urging Congress to pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” said Councilmember Carlos Menchaca, chair of the Immigration Committee in City Council. “At the local level, I will fight for a reform package that doesn't undercut important immigrant community needs. Congress needs to come together to end the suffering of our immigrant families and put them on a path to real security.”

 

“Comprehensive Immigration Reform isn't some passing political issue, it is a movement that will define a generation,” said Byron Silva, assistant business manager at Laborers’ Local 78.

 

“Immigration reform has been used as a political football for long enough,” said Janet Baharona, a cleaner in Manhattan who is a member of 32BJ SEIU. “Congress’ inaction – and the silence of my Congressman Michael Grimm – is tearing families in my community apart and pushing more and more hard working immigrants into the shadows and into poverty. Voters will hold Rep. Grimm and accountable for his actions.”

 

“For too long House Speaker John Boehner has let a small faction in the Republican party hold immigration reform hostage,’’ said S.J. Jung, president of MinKwon Center for Community Action. "Our NY Republican Congress Members now have a chance to break this stonewall by signing on to the discharge petition. We are done with lip service and delaying tactics! The Asian American and immigrant communities across the nation demand real immigration reform now!”

 

"Immigration reform is just as important to American citizens as it is to those whom are undocumented," said Magdolyn Kawas, member of the Arab American Association of New York. "Many of us were born and raised here, and still our communities continue to suffer from a broken immigration system. My father came to the U.S. for a better future for his family but, because of his immigration status, we are forced to live apart. As someone impacted and as a voter, I'm calling on Congress to take action. We need real reforms that will reunite me with my father and bring thousands of families back together."

 

“While we are resolved more than ever to put pressure on the House to act on comprehensive immigration, we are seriously concerned by the devastating impact of the deportations that have been tearing apart our communities,” said Imam Souleymane Konate with African Services Committee. “Seizing on the anniversary of the historic April 10th rally, we are appealing to the administration help build families, but not to destroy them.”

 

"Immigration reform is absolutely necessary. As a Catholic and a DREAMer, I strongly believe that immigrants need to be treated equally and recognized as part of this nation in soul, heart and mind. Let's make humane reform a reality,” said Dennisse Pizarro, an undocumented youth with Cabrini Immigrant Services of NYC. “To congress and the white house: it is is said that we can make a change if we all work together"

 

"This is not a political issue for pundits to opine over, this is an issue of civil rights, respect, and basic human dignity. Washington has procrastinated for far too long, the need for reform is urgent and the time is now!" said Don Elisa-Garcia, member of La Fuente.

When I was in Skerries last week a crew were filming on location. A scene centred on this bus shelter and in the three hours I was there the only action I saw, other than standing around, was the chap in the shelter with the fur coat falling on his knees and roaring "Aaaaaaaagh"! I wasn't convinced of his acting abilities as I know that if I dropped on my knees the way they are now I would have screamed with so much more feeling:-)

Half Hearted Doesn’t Get You Started. It doesn’t matter what your business or job, if you don’t commit to doing something you love, you’re in danger of getting into the “half hearted” zone. This is more dangerous when you have your own business, but could also mean losing a job. The first thing you need to look at is your own desire to do the job at hand. If there is something in the business that you see as lucrative and that is the ONLY reason you want to do it, there is the possibility (or worse) that you can enter into it half heartedly. So, ask yourself if it is something that you are really passionate about. Does the task you have to do FEEL like work, or is it a pleasure? In my own experience, something that doesn’t “float your boat” is that which leads to a less than committed approach. Essentially, you need to reflect on your own desires, interests and passions to be able to make the right decisions. Avoiding Half Heartedness. I have already mentioned knowing what you want, the reason for doing it and your passion for the business. If you are sure that your choice is truly the one for you, there could be other factors that are causing your less than fully committed approach. These things usually end up being psychological and can destroy confidence and therefore the belief that you will get results. The importance of looking inside yourself and discovering the underlying problem cannot be stressed enough, but this is not always easy to accept. Many people make statements that are designed to take away the feeling of failure in a personal way. They tend to blame a system for not working, even though others are using it with great success. Either that or it’s so and so’s fault because they promised to have you earning by the end of month 1. The problem with this attitude is that EVERY opportunity is no opportunity. NOTHING works because the person is relying on others and not doing the work necessary to see the success they crave. “We will do the work for you” is a myth, or extremely rare at best so don’t fall for it! The most important thing you can do is look for the RIGHT opportunity in the niche that you have the MOST passion for. If there isn’t one, perhaps you could design and build that opportunity yourself. There are courses out there that can help you do just that. There are so many ways to research with the resources available to us. It’s vital that you know what you want FIRST. You avoid the danger of the half hearted approach when you are fully committed to making something work. Yes, you may have to learn new skills. Until you accept that it’s YOU that makes things happen and are aware that blame is just another excuse for your own inaction, you will never move forward. Think about what you say to yourself and others. Is it right to state that something “doesn’t work” when there are several people making a LOT of money from it? The most ethical marketers share what they are doing to earn that money in paid for courses or sometimes for free if you’re a part of a network marketing team. It’s up to you to ask questions if you don’t understand what you have to do so you can be successful too. Of course, there are occasions where certain tasks don’t suit certain people. If you don’t “fit” in a particular system, you have not failed. You have found out that the system is not the right one for you. To know this, you have to do the work. Edison succeeded in making the light bulb by means of finding out what didn’t work. He eventually found what did and it grew from there. Without that determination and passion to achieve, we may not have had the advances in lighting technology we have now. They could have taken longer. Don’t give up your dream. Know what you want to do and where your passion is and you will achieve the success you crave. Settling for less than your true desire can lead to a half hearted approach that can prevent you starting on the right foot, or worst still, guarantee failure and dissolution and the fatal “blame culture”.
