The Effect of a Hypothetical Global Economic Collapse on an Administration

A collapse of the world ecosystem would be worse than the collapse of the U.S. and world economy. One might wonder how a Neanderthal or Denisovan would have regarded a question about the ecospheric decline. Probably he or she would have denied the possibility as a hoax.

Business interestingly is developing some carbon dioxide absorbing technology.

Cost plunges for capturing carbon dioxide from the air

A government might invest in that as well as big oil. That is an irony; big oil is investing in technology to correct the greenhouse gassing issue; a problem it has played a large part in creating. Profit going in and profit going out for oil.

Actually if the economy were to collapse few would care much about the administration that let it occur. They would be turned out in the next election unless already a lame duck with meager consolation of going home and investing their winnings. Business goes on regardless of the overall state of things. People have sold bread made from wheat horded before a general famine occurred. Politicians often exacerbate problems because they aren’t often good at business and rely on some academic ‘experts’ of one school that wouldn’t find agreement with others. They would deny eternal judgment and hell as an ‘externality’ that extremists are concerned about.

Apparently whatever best benefits the most rich is the policy that government will follow and train the public to accept as the best of all possible economic management.

More Than a Million Illegal Entries to U.S.A. Annually Would Change Things

People may have forgotten about 9-11 that view illegal entrants to the U.S.A. through rose-colored glasses. With the present illegal entry rate at more than one-hundred thousand monthly the border security people are maxed out, and many Democrats call for abandoning border security altogether and to make it an open border.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/04/02/trump-mexican-border-threatened-shutdown-would-raise-avocado-prices/3344041002/

With an open border the population of the U.S.A. probably would rise to one-billion within a decade. A semblance of democracy and ecospheric restoration in the nation would be lost. Taxation to create new infrastructure would take a great leap forward. The overall intellect of the boy politic would decrease amidst the chaos, confusion, crime and a myriad of stresses to the system and individuals.

Democrats may be living in a 19th century though paradigm on borders such that they should be open and open ranges able to absorb the teaming masses are unlimited. There is something unrealistic in their desire that makes some wonder if they are disingenuous in referencing anti-global warming measures as a Democrat legislative goal, since the New Green Deal had a minimum income and medicare for all measure that would attract maybe two billion people to utilize that opportunity.

President Trump should use the military to secure the border until a good security barrier using solar-pumped up saltwater can be desalinated in a security canal with berms and fence. The canals would have thin-film lids that would capture evaporation and condense it making millions of gallons of fresh water for local agriculture on both sides of the border.

Direct Gov Health Care for the Poor Eliminates Fraud, Overruns

A US Gov direct provisioning of health care for the poor and uninsurable would eliminate the fraud and superfluous charges permeating Obamacare and Medicaid. When a dull, insipid government imagine that corporate insurance for all is an efficient or cost effective way to provide health insurance to the poor and uninsurable they are quite spaced.

President Trump should take seriously the idea of a constellation of V.A. and poor person's community clinics as well as volunteer hospitals networked and connected by Musk hypertubes from rural areas (those getting a V.A. sticker validated would ride free) as a replacement for Obamacare. A pure government non-profit treating patients screened by a government status verification and referral agency is simply the best way to cover people realistically. It would also create a large networked system for emergency mass disaster services.

Double and triple billing, addition of unneeded services, hypochondria; there are many ways the middleman private insurance to hospitals and physicians runs up the cost of Obamacare and Medicaid. The idea may be that socialism is avoided by using inefficient means of delivering healthcare, and that is not correct. In fact even the Congress fails to understand the economic philosophy of Adam Smith or capitalism very well, and neither do they understand democracy well enough to know that it is perfectly fine to set reasonable tax rates upon the very rich to prevent them from owning everything through shared financial networks and stocks.

The Congress is remarkably daft these days, although that's the fault of Democrats principally. People are concerned about them.

Create a Sex Accusations 2020 Campaign Review Structure

Former VP Biden's recent accusations of inappropriate sex contacts by two women show the need for a formal review process for sex accusations made during a Presidential campaign--a standing board for investigation, that can be applied whenever those things arise should be established. The committee should wrap up its work two months before the election.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/437107-harris-i-believe-biden-accusers

The Investigations group could have a scoreboard for each candidate to keep track of the number and kind of incidents that are reported. Actually it might serve as a way to compare candidates in various ways, including false accusations.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nancy-pelosi-joe-biden-behavior-not-disqualifying-for-for-2020-election-says-biden-should-pretend-you-have-a-cold/

Accusations true and false and fake news are credited with influencing elections. With the regards so great the temptations arise. Ad hoc processing of accusations are sometimes slow or untimely and are feed for media frenzy that sways elections even when candidates are completely innocent. Accusations that Russians are taking out too many Facebook ads reinforcing trends favorable to there interests, or believed to be favorable are another issue that has been used to influence elections even if they are unimportant instances of influence. The elections investigation committee should perhaps look at that sort of thing too, although not exclusively, simply to determine if it has substance to it in a timely manner.

Combine College Logic and Scientifc Engineering Intro Course

Colleges and Universities might benefit from establishing critical reasoning and applications of ideas courses that combine logic, scientific method and engineering within an introductory course intended to provide college graduates a realistic way of evaluating their own ideas including political ideas before applying them, or trying to apply them to the real world.

The recent Green New Deal fiasco is an example of a half-baked idea that may have had good intentions (or not if it was a Trojan horse for establishing authoritarian socialism). It should have been written up in a book (there are numerous free publishing methods on line) and peer and publicly reviewed, criticized, improved and of course examined to determine its effects upon society; before ever becoming legislation in Congress. A logic and scientific method course for macro-engineering social projects might be useful.

Something does need to be done to rectify capitalism to the ecospheric degradation challenges of the contemporary planetary condition. Modular, synergetic improvement and upgrades using free enterprise are a preferred course for that. Those seeking to repair the world ecosphere also need to find ways to adapt capitalism and free enterprise to democracy better; that is democracy in-itself irrespective of the ecospheric degradation traditionally has problem with over-concentration of wealth, despotism, oligarchy and so forth. Aristotle wrote about that nearly 2500 years ago. People forget history. Adam Smith's ideas about capitalism were liberating in their day, reducing the royal monopoly on trade, today preventing global corporatism and plutocracy that degrades individual democratic power in nations is one challenge. The other challenge is preventing the rise of a global socialist autocratic power of an ostensible egalitarian political environment that in fact is nothing more than authoritarianism by and for an elite inner circle.

Mueller Report Should be Published as a Book

The Trump Administration should try to defrappe the cost of the Mueller Report by selling the report as a paperback for $11.95 and as an ebook for $1.99.  The government cannot continue to just pile up debt for everything the Democrat Party or others want to add on as if there were no tomorrow.

Avocado Party May Be Required to Overthrow Illegal Immigration

Like the Boston Tea Party, Americans may need to throw their foreign sourced avocados overboard when the boarder is shut down with Mexico to stop the emergency level illegal entry into the United States. Mexico is supplying most American avocados this time of year.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/america-would-run-out-of-avocados-in-weeks-if-trump-shuts-border-with-mexico-grower-warns

The avocado party will require austerity from Americans during the harsh spring time of year. Burritos will suffer. Yet Americans will persevere like the revolutionaries did long ago.

https://wkow.com/news/top-stories/2019/03/29/senator-ron-johnson-sides-with-trump-calls-border-out-of-control/

If the border closure goes on for several months F.E.M.A. may enter the dragon's lair and input South American avocados for emergency relief to afflicted communities. National guard units could be activated to help distribute avocados during the national crisis. President Trump will guide the ship of state through troubled waters and avoid a public panic.

Like F.D.R. the President may stimulate the nearly untapped power of American industry to grow the domestic avocado industry several times. Not only California avocados available in May, synthetic guacamole created from soy beans may appear during the crisis.

Converting to Christ

I haven't encountered much discourse with metaphor or analogy for converting to Christ in terms of electricity. Voltage, amps, current, quantity, quality are familiar ideas. God is omnipotent and omniscient. He has created people. Say they are small electrical units or technology that runs on electricity. God is eternal and people aren't. Like tiny mp3 or mp4 players they run down or die, the electrical power exhausted.

So people need a recharge, yet the entire Universe and hardware in it is temporal. It doesn't last and the people have original sin making them implicitly prone to breaking down. To live eternally, and the only acceptable way to do so, is with God. God has a much higher power rating though- infinite in fact. For human salvation a conversion is required for people to be acceptable to God. Jesus Christ is the converter and adapter for humanity.

Through the Lord Jesus Christ human beings have a relationship to God. God in the Lord Jesus is able to scale to human voltage and amp requirements without burning them up.

One may step up 12 volt battery power with an 18 volt converter adapter to recharge a laptop computer. Human beings have no sustainable energy for-themselves and require that God through the Lord and Holy Spirit provides their own being, the energy of it, and the conversion and adaption to the Lord in order to experience eternal life with God.

European Origins of the American Left

Classical liberalism as it is known to the west differs from and is prior to the rise of the left. The left is Marxist while classical liberalism followed Jesus Christ, Adam Smith and free enterprise capitalism for individuals.

Individual freedom and self-directed independence within a nation of free individuals without a legally superior class over them required millenia to develop. The left, and Karl Marx, saw only the hard side of English industrial capitalism with workers thrown off rural farmland and into dirty, dank, polluted factories with long hours, low pay and a vast difference between the poor and rich company owners. The urban struggle for a humane standard of living and work conditions required a couple of centuries to develop in the west. Marxist philosophy and the communist manifesto developed during that period. It was entirely unAmerican and neo-Hegelian.

Karl Marx formalized a theoretical account for human social evolution that was based on conflict and dialectical progress or evolution. Over the 19th and 20th centuries the left added whatever new idea they could to their platform, such as atheism and evolution, as a hardening of their front against capitalism.

Anti-capitalists of the Marxist variety had little experience of the United States and its foundation upon classical liberalism with properties of rights for individuals to be free from adverse interference by the state. Instead they viewed history through the neo-Hegelian evolutionary dialectical lens of class conflict. For quite a lengthy period the United States was made mostly of rural farming people. With industrialization and the rise of a consumer culture people quite farm labor and moved to cities. The American south after the civil war saw quite a number of free former slaves moving north for their own new deal (before FDR’s).

The integration movements in American 20th century culture were piggybacked with anti-capitalist socialist agitators. People like Bernie Sanders were first arrested for protesting against negro discriminatory policies not uncommonly, before any socialist agitation. Anti-war policies in the 1960s and the new left were existential-dialectical neo-utopians disinterested in the military industrial complex. Following TImothy Leary’s maxim they turned on, tuned, in and dropped out. The new left had pacific sentiments without much regard for classical liberalism which they had lost sight of in the midst of white collar conservative, big business, IBM computer, capitalist, big banked urbanism.

With the development of fast transistor chips society and communications went through several economic qualitative technological upgrades. The left were as drawn to computers as formerly were the management corp. The left saw capitalism and big business rather than free enterprise and individualism. The left regarded themselves as individualists and the urban blue collar and white collar workers as tools for the machine, the matrix etc.

Presently the left is without a solid understanding of capitalism, free enterprise or history. As an identity movement of women, homosexuals, and internal proletariats such as Hispanics, the left simply wishes to move in and take over. Socializing business from the top down. Ossifying business at a level of Marxist synthesis for a Corporatism political philosophy including the left, brings the dictatorship of the proletariat into being and eliminates individual sovereignty as the foundation of the United States of America.

Fundamentally the left as an opposition party is incompetent and unable to reform capitalism and free enterprise without socialism (or with it either). The left has no ability to comprehend ecological economics and merge it into free market practices. The left has largely killed the Democrat Party as an opposition party to Republican who are oriented toward allowing the concentration of wealth.

The left cannot bring itself to shed its Marxist orientation and simply study how to make a democracy work effectively for the well-being of all citizens. Leaving no one behind, a contemporary democracy would not hinder individuals from inventing and upgrading personal, private and public sectors investments.

Democracy has all of the tools it needs to reform economic methods and to make them consistent with a healthy ecosystem. There is no need of socialism or communist dictatorship to rectify Adam Smith’s outlook with modern reality. If the left are the Democrat Party and they have abandoned capitalism and finding its limits and capacities for making ordinary life better and survivable ecospherically, they are displacing new party formations with time consuming spoilt political philosophy. If Donald Trump was knowledgeable about ecological economics he would get 25% more votes in the next election. He is not all bad.

Air Force Bungles Base Location Planning

The Air Force wants $5 billion for flood and hurricane damage to bases. Global warming has been well known to science for decades, why can't Air Force base and runway planners factor in reasonable scientific analysis and plan ahead a little. They should build runways in places not prone to global warming or flood damage at least 100 feet above potential flood level.

Superfluous sorts of build in a flood plain federal project financing needs to stop. Global warming is a fact. Look ahead a half century at least and put private sector thinking caps on. Unnecessary financial loss by the military is a military defeat for national security.

https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2019/03/us-air-force-we-need-5-billion-fix-weather-damaged-bases/155863/

Hopefully the dummies won't build a dike around previously flooded runways. They should reopen closed bases that are above flood and hurricane surge levels, and reduce flooded bases to temporary landing pads.
