ORANGE OLIGARCH
ORANGE OLIGARCH
Citizens United and voter somnolence are probably the reasons laws have been passed that have created our current oligarchy.
WHEN PATRIARCHY ISN’T THE ANSWER
WHEN PATRIARCHY ISN’T THE ANSWER
Double talk could be detected as the C-Span guest, expert Dr. Anand Parckh, denigrated the notion of universal health care because, he insinuated, the corporate-friendly ACA/Obamacare is working better, while also urging Americans to remember the qualities and benefits of Primary Care. How is this perceived as double talk? The language is soothingly that of capitalistic hierarchical Establishment that promotes the requirement for players to “claw their way up the ladder of success” for profiteering, that specifically negates a dedicated medical industry to offer the less expensive and so less lucrative primary care. And so the bait-and-switch continues. Try again, Dr. Parckh; some people are listening. And yes we do need a more humanity-friendly universal heath care system.
WHAT WE DON’T KNOW
C-Span opened their phones for so many excellent views that to choose just a few would be impossible. One is heartened that so many Americans have awakened to the corruption in our government as we have meandered down the path of “running government like a business”. This on a continuum is organized crime.
CORPORATE DICTATOR
Corporate-privilege laws aren’t a gift from God. They are indicative of governing corruption.
DISPELL CHAUVINISM
C-Span–caller-9:37AM–paraphrase–I don’t trust white women (referring incoherently to feminism).
ESTABLISHMENT CLINGS TO PRIVILEGE
One heard on NPR recently, apparently in answer to complaints that Climate Change has been ignored by Establishment, that “scientists have warned us about Climate Change for years”. Thank you, NPR for this enlightenment; and apparently the broken link is MSM that hasn’t reported that which scientists have insisted.
BUT WHAT THEY DO
The notion that “we are a 2-Party system” is a presumption of the Democratic and Republican Branches of the duopoly, and not based on Constitutional norms. Other political Parties exist and in FACT have attracted the majority of voters. The R&D duopoly have censored the voices of other Parties, and have passed laws prohibiting equal access.
WHO CAN WE TRUST?
Lies are direct or by omission. Then there’s the lie of charming disarming by persuasion…aka actors. Recognize them.
VORTEX OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
One suggests the value of Affirmative Action was genuine as far as it went, but it could have been a hierarchical deflection. Consider networking as pertains to the college admissions process. Why address the requirements of the underprivileged when legislation, policy and tradition give precedent to entrenched interests in college admissions.
GOVERNMENT TERRORISM
NY hasn’t as yet challenged our uniquely heavy-handed jerrymandering, or equitable inclusion of 3rd-Party candidates that currently face absurd standards for inclusion. The Republican/Democratic duopoly acts as a dictatorship in enacting laws to maintain their monopoly on elections that should never be in the hands of political Party corporations, but should be in the hands of the electorate.
LAWFARE
A point can be made that lawfare has been perfected against the US public over decades, as laws are passed that support transfer of the wealth of the nation from the 100% to the 1%.
IDEALS
C-Span airs at about 6:50AM a different entry into Student Cam 2023 (www.studentcam.org). The ideas are relevant and the idealism is admirable. Is it too cynical to mention that when students take on predatory educational-loan pay back, idealism may be replaced with cold reality. One hopes not.
