COMMON SENSE
Analytical thinking may be nothing more than common sense.

House Speaker McCarthy at the N.Y. Stock Exchange
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) gave remarks at the New York Stock Exchange on the U.S. economy and negotiations to raise the federal debt limit. This event experienced technical difficulties.–end of McCarthy stock exchange info–
A big-money interest-financed politician (byway of Citizens United) speaks to the NY Stock Exchange on the topic of the Reagan inspiration of Trickle Down Economics to presumably some of the same players who were bailed out by the US taxpayer after said players engineered the 2008 Financial Meltdown. McCarthy seems to imply (paraphrase)…”We couldn’t have done it without ya”.
And how are corporations, devoid of Corporate Character Revocation abilities by local community members, functioning in the new normal of lack of government regulation? Please consider thoughts from Status Coup.

MSM didn’t report on the decade-long NYS anti-fracking advocacy in which local citizens learned much more than they wanted about corruption. A few personal and untutored views. One welcomes correction where warranted—
*Fracking uses proprietary chemicals that are secret from local communities
*Proprietary seems to mean the chemicals used on people and nature are none of our business
*Pollution of several types are found in areas that are subjected to this industrialization
*Many local communities are protected by volunteer fire departments that understand common brush and house fires, but not so much industrial chemical fires
*Some local politicians seem more intent on courting big-money interests into local communities with the excuse of economic advancement than supporting local volunteer groups
*One may suppose a part of the draw may be big-money campaign donations to politicians
*The NYSEG Stadium absorbed curious amounts of local taxpayer funding for renovations when perhaps volunteer fire departments could have benefited from said funding
*NYSEG Stadium is now Mirabito Stadium

*Local municipalities also needed to fend off LG fueling stations, one locally proposed next to a neighborhood school
Capitalism surely benefits from the Trickle-Down Economic system, but that either are beneficial to local communities is highly questionable.
We The People need to short-circuit reliance on marketing speech from hierarchy and remember common sense.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3y79ZUl-zk —

New Brunswick, N.J. — Here are some of the senior administrators I did not see joining us on the picket lines set up by striking teachers and staff at Rutgers University. Brian Strom, the chancellor of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, whose salary is $925,932 a year. Steven Libutti, the vice chancellor for Cancer Programs for Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, who makes $929,411 a year. Patrick Hobbs, the director of athletics, who receives $999,688 a year. The president of the university, Jonathan Holloway, who is paid $1.2 million a year. Stephen Pikiell, the university’s head basketball coach, who has received a 445 percent pay raise since 2020 and currently gets $3 million a year. Gregory Schiano, the university’s head football coach, who pulls in $4 million a year.
Here is who I did see. Leslieann Hobayan, a poet and single mother with three teenage daughters who makes $28,000 a year teaching creative writing as an adjunct professor and could not afford health insurance last year. Hank Kalet, who, by teaching seven courses a semester at Rutgers, Brookdale Community College and Middlesex College as an adjunct professor (a full course load for a semester is normally four courses) as well as teaching summer courses, can sometimes make $50,000 a year. But even he only has health insurance through his wife’s employer. Josh Anthony and Yazmin Gomez, graduate workers in the history department who serve as teaching assistants, and who each struggle to survive on $25,000 a year, $1,300 of which is deducted by the university for library, gym and computer fees.

One is seriously interested in those who have degrees from institutions of high learning and pose as educated, who also carry un-payable levels of debt to finagle said degree.
Common sense would be better.

Please take a look at the Green Social Thought website: http://www.greensocialthought.org/
Its focus is: “Produce less. Distribute it fairly. Create a greener world for all www.gateway-greens.org For more info, call 314-727-8554
From Gateway Greens — http://www.greensocialthought.org/ –The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), a UN agency with climatologists from over 70 counties included) has just come out with a new report about climate change. (Available at https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment-report-cycle/.) The news is not good.
Basically, their arguments have gotten more refined, more specific: climate change is impacting humans, animals, and plants to a greater and greater extent, things are getting worse, and its impact will escalate the longer we hesitate to take resolute steps to address it.

Native American culture has been disparaged by hierarchical Establishment for obvious reasons of exploitation. Common sense may inform that disparagement doesn’t imply inauthentic notions. Maybe the Native culture is where we can begin to remember common sense. For example, devoid of the sun we will go extinct.
https://wildhunt.org/2023/04/we-are-children-of-the-sun-new-exhibit-honors-mexica-coyolxauhqui-stone.html –Coyolxāuhqui is the Mexica goddess of the moon, stars, and war. She is a powerful goddess who is both feared and respected. Coyolxāuhqui was the daughter of the earth goddess Coatlicue and the sister of the sun god Huitzilopochtli. In the Mexica religion, Coyolxāuhqui led a rebellion of her 400 brothers – the stars – against her mother. Coyolxāuhqui was killed by Huitzilopochtli, the god of war and the sun who is represented in art as either a hummingbird or an eagle. Her dismembered body was thrown down from the heavens to become the moon.
Archeologists learned that the Temple was a sophisticated and massive structure, consisting of two stepped pyramids rising side by side on a huge platform. The pyramid dedicated to Huitzilopochtli was taller and faced east, while the pyramid dedicated to Tlaloc was shorter and faced west. The two pyramids were connected by a long stairway that led up to the summits.–end of wildhunt info–
Expression in parables is not an unknown quantity in religious expression. To minimize views of other people helps to encourage chauvinism of many types. Views of ancient people are juxtaposed against deeply sophisticated architecture left behind that even modern people have difficulty replicating. What’s up with that? What do we gain by negating art and architecture we can’t understand?
Beware of hierarchical disparagement of common sense in order to overlay complicated double talk. Trust yurself.****
As one who would be perfectly contented to retain the Senate if they adhered to Oaths of Office more than to Citizens United campaign donations, one is interested in a topic raised as to the reason we maintain the US Senate—-
