Letters: San Jose council must lead on improving animal shelter
"I strongly suggest that each and every member of the San Jose City Council take an unannounced, unplanned and unescorted visit to the shelter. Ask yourselves: What do I see? Hear? Smell? Then strike up a conversation with a few of the workers. Ask about upcoming training classes. Ask if they are getting enough donations or what more is needed."
"Young Americans are discovering that the old promise of "go to college, work hard, and you will find a good job" no longer holds. For the first time in four decades, graduates face higher unemployment than the general population, The Atlantic noted. Artificial intelligence is worsening the crisis. CEOs admit AI could erase half of all entry-level white-collar jobs. Entry-level postings are down 35% since 2023, with some firms cutting graduate hiring by 50%, Bloomberg TV reported."
San Jose City Council members are urged to make unannounced, unescorted visits to the animal shelter to observe conditions firsthand, speak with staff, check training and donation needs, and practice management by walking around. Voters' actions affect shelter oversight and the welfare of animals housed there. Young Americans face an eroding opportunity ladder as college graduates now experience higher unemployment than the general population for the first time in four decades. Artificial intelligence is intensifying the employment crisis, with CEOs warning of large-scale entry-level job losses and declines in entry-level postings and graduate hiring. A comprehensive Marshall Plan for young Americans is needed.
