MERGER BETWEEN STATE AND CORPORATE POWER
Definitely indicative of dictatorship. This is what “running government like a business” looks like.
TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION
Some people have paid taxes for over 50 years, including school, property, sales, and income, with sparse representation.
CAPITALISTIC USE OF THE FEMININE
A remembrance of Pat Schroeder on CBS Nightly report yesterday mentioned that she was appointed to a Commission but needed to share the seat with a male associate due to her status as 1/2 a person in that time and place. Some women remember those days. We may return to them. Meanwhile too often it feels like the women who endured those places and times are expected to “just get over it”. And so a road to a return to that time is paved.
FREE SPEECH POLICING
While money is called Free Speech, Free Speech is held as suspicious behavior by Establishment.
missing demographic
The topic of violence is loud today. Police states have been the characteristic of communist nations from capitalist nation perspectives. Recently people are dying in places that have typically been considered public in our nation.
STORIES CHANGE WITH THE TELLER
History as taught in the US educational system is written from the perspective of the USA. The globalism that has been about economics has conveniently overlooked FACTS that would more realistically inform about the role of humanity in wars. While admitting that Russia is the enemy and shouldn’t have attacked Ukraine, one would be intellectually dishonest if one didn’t recognize the price paid by Russia in WWII, and that in the USA has been superimposed by a presumption of US supremacy in challenging Hitler.
FREE MARKETS AND US AMNESIA
On this small-business Saturday, free market concepts should be important. In the USA, corporate-owned politicians have put into place laws and policies that significantly undermine local sole proprietorship in favor of chain store privilege.
TRADITIONS
World peace is a good way to honor our Veterans and to challenge Climate Change, by the way.
FREEDOM ISN’T FREE
Too often freedom for one person comes at the liability of another. Socialism could be a label to suggest balancing away from exploitation of this type, if it must be labeled. Another phrase could be respect for natural, human, and civil rights. Either way, everyone should have a voice in defining freedom, not only the hierarchy.
NATIVE WISDOM BEYOND CLIMATE CHANGE
C-Span hosted a call-in discussion on the topic of age limits for political-office holders. This seems to bring to mind cultures that respect the experience of elders while young people are leaders. Americans need look no further for a model than Native communities. But principles need to be measured in terms of wisdom and experience as compared to terms of greed and privilege. If this isn’t the case, a critical limitation on knowledge stops us in 1619, as seems to be the case.
SAYING WHAT YOU THINK….WHO DOES THAT?
An episode on The Office included Darryll telling Kelly that he liked her but (paraphrase) she needed to decide for herself what she wanted and stop playing games. A befuddled Kelly looks into the camera and says (paraphrase) Darryll says exactly what’s on his mind…..who does that?
