COMMON SENSE
The public has been desensitized into capitalism with the propaganda that it is the best system for the most people. Climate Change is evidence to the contrary, but what about the effects and changes to human health? The anomaly of childhood stroke is a possibility but not the norm, until our current lifestyle makes it so, in one person’s uninformed opinion.

A healthy environment is part-and-parcel of a healthy community of people including children.

This is the moment we’ve been working on for years and years on end—the opportunity for New York to finally stand up and emphatically say that we deserve a Constitutional Right to clean air and clean water, a right that ought to be recognized explicitly by law by the State. This is a long overdue measure that will empower all communities to hold government accountable for infringements on our basic human right to clean air and clean water, and protect and preserve our natural resources for the benefit of the people.–end of delawarekeepeer info–

The hearing on the topic of FinTec Srvices with experts in the field was interesting and important to lower-income communities. Insight into the mindset of experts was revealed by the questions from Maxine Waters. Waters’ questions attempted to capture the information of how the experts knew that FinTech services would be better from the perspective of consumers over Payday lenders. One of the experts attempted to answer this questions by beginning her sentence with “I did my dissertation…..”, with Waters interjecting with (paraphrase)….”but how do you know…..”. This is precisely the question that escapes so many experts who depend on a purchased degree from an institution of higher learning that in 2021 is an instrument of capitalism and trains into compliance to capitalism, paid for by inordinate costs of that degree. Indeed, how do these experts actually know? We don’t want to know about your dissertation. How do you know FACTS rather than ideology?https://www.c-span.org/video/?515799-1/experts-testify-financial-technology-products&live –NOVEMBER 2, 2021

Ignorance among educated youngsters indoctrinated into capitalism by our educational system may be one reason so many ignore the imperialism against indigenous people around the globe. — https://palestine.salsalabs.org/balfourdeclaration21?wvpId=7bd3c650-4aca-4989-abbb-094a2d22bb46 –On this day, 104 years ago, one of history’s most unjust declarations was made. On November 3rd, 1917, the British government issued the Balfour Declaration, which laid the foundation for the establishment of a Jewish-Zionist state at the expense of the indigenous Palestinian population. General Allenby had not even taken Jerusalem when the Balfour Declaration was made, promising the land of Palestine to the Zionist movement.–end of palestine info–
In FACT my awareness of comprehensive information about the Middle East has only expanded recently with reading the book A History Of The Arab People by Albert Hourani. Eclectic reading choices expands awareness away from capitalistic indoctrination that isn’t accompanied by a degree affirming one’s indoctrination. Comparing policies in the Middle East with the same capitalism in the USA could inform about the reason many people believe we are losing our democracy in the USA. The insult inflicted upon Indigenous communities around the globe are not different from same inflicted on local communities in the USA due to capitalistic policies.

To lead astray and coddle is not the work of these advocates for equality and justice.
Youngsters might do well to remember that any women’s rights being threatened in 2021 weren’t a reality in 1970. This includes easy access to birth control. Put your trust in those who have been there rather than the snake oil salesmen.
A book from an Upstate NY school library was a first eye-opener about Native Americans. The biography was about Sitting Bull that was a display of courage and soundness. The story of Geronimo is surely similar and so sad as to be unbearable.https://twitter.com/LakotaMan1/status/1454971866796359686/photo/1 –One of the greatest natural warriors in human history, Geronimo (Chiricahua Apache) reduced to a pumpkin farmer in Oklahoma. The U.S. tried to convert Sitting Bull to farming — when he resisted he was murdered.
