U.S. Politicians Fail to Fix Global Warming

 U.S. and Mexican politicians will fail to reduce global warming. Some like kamala Harris are afraid to suggest anything that wouldn’t gain more votes for election. Donald Trump is of a genre of business people focused on the throughput velocity of money. For those global warming concerns are an economic externality. Trump however is for world peace and prosperity while democrats prefer war in Europe and irrationally, peace in the Gaza to allow Hamas time to rebuild its military capacity.

N.A.T.O. is largely a democratic organ of the European Union with the U.S. being the blaster. Like a criminal gang members cannot demure from the wolf pack attack on Russian Ukrainian land. The European Union wants a to-state solution for implacable unilateral enemies (Hamas is the party dedicated to Israel’s destruction while Israel acknowledges the Palestinian’s right to exist in the Middle East) and categorically reject a two state solution for Ukraine. Candidate trump at least understands that the Democrat party gang insanity will likely lead to atomic war; bad for business. War though is an easy thing to sign aboard for gang members and anyone that wants out may be erased (for N.A.T.O. the equivalent would be leaving them exposed to possible attack with the same kind of perverse reasoning as affected the Union war vs the Confederates at Chickamauga when a Colonel with a peeve against a fellow officer failed to convey a message that would have moved troops and closed the gap that let Confederate forces surge through to rout Union forces.

The Democrat party should be plain and simple first in acting to reduce global warming. That is incompatible with truth and scale for party politicians wishing to hide from taking real action since they might not be elected. One simple plan would have three parts

1) remove millions of miles of asphalt streets that absorb and release solar heat.2) eliminate fossil fuel engines and other egregious sources of carbon monoxide/dioxide to the atmosphere3) ban coal burning power plants

Simple yet effective at great slowly anthropogenic climate change. Each measure would have detailed plans about how to accomplish it without great economic harm to those displaced by the change. Plainly a simple, realistic plan will complete fail to appear on party agenda the next 50 years.

Democrats will have bait and switch atmospheric heating reduction schemes and even some that have a positive effect on reducing greenhouse gases and asses (such as eliminating cattle grazing for the meat market on federal land) and designs for no-net loss of biota housing and zoning instead of providing free cash for the poor and middle class to make huge down payments on new homes that the poor and middle class will default on payments on in a couple of years when they can’t afford monthly home payments. The Harris housing scheme would probably cost 75 billion dollars at a minimum.

The 2007-2008 home mortgage derivatives banking failure and economic crash followed the Clinton administration’s drive to expand housing with loans to people with bad credit and the lower middle class. Bad money follows good; repeating the mistakes of the Clinton may well combine a perfect wave of some sort of unknown financial failure and tax cuts with a cascade of public debt default. Then N.A.T.O. might ask for a half trillion dollars as America’s share to help rebuild western Ukraine if that war is concluded without atomic conflict.

It would be better to provide cash to those that live in poor rural, non-electrified sheds to upgrade their properties with micro-wave, waterless toilets and saturate them with solar panels and free insulation, yet practical economics that reduce global heating is eschewed by the Democrat Party. One could build a dozen decent sheds for each $25,000 given for a down payment on a ‘starter home’. Many people on the planet would be happy with a good ten by twelve foot shed with an electric Incinolet toilet and solar panels to live in (those cost extra) to start and finish with.

Wouldn’t three million new homes demand 50 to 500 gallons of water apiece every day. A bath runs about 30 gallons and flush toilets a couple gallons per flush. Some people use dishwaters and water lawns besides. That new use adds up from 150 million to one and a half billion gallons of water every day. Environmentally speaking that is a disaster. Does the Colorado River have spare billion gallons of water for new western homes?

Won’t every scammer in the nation sign up for the free cash down payment and end up pocketing the cash after selling the place without making a single payment? Wouldn’t the poor without a good job that would qualify for a home loan of even the cheaper ‘starter’ $300,000 (yuppies will expect to move into a mansion after several years of hardship living in starter models) be excluded. Democrats often talk about the middle class (a class in decline) and sweep the poor under the rug. Many of the poor would be happy to just buy a decent length airstream trailer with their $25,000 if they would qualify. The prosperous and welcome often believe the poor are lazy not understanding that life doesn’t go equally easy and breezy as it might have been for them. Head bobbing sycophants sometimes find things go easy economically. Others are just well positioned and experience life without so many challenges; the ‘let them eat cake’ mentality is not uncommon. Will the homeless and unemployed have the free money those with sinecures get?

I did like the 2020 primary idea from a Democrat in the primaries about reducing global heating directly with a large sunscreen at L-5 in space. It would in effect be a vast tin foil hat constructed to keep harmful intelligent ideas from reaching the voters. The consequences to the Earth are of course entirely experimental and theoretical. It’s fun to consider the mass disasters that could result from that. Yet one must first consider some of the great number of variables for how the screen is deployed, designed and applied.

Would the screen be as large as the moon in diameter? Would it be adjustable like Venetian blinds? Would it partly block sunlight or entirely block it a few days a year like an eclipse? Would it reduce light all year or just a few months annually? Would the filter affect the entire planet or just part of the planet? The affects on global weather and ocean temperature and currents might produce drastic whipsaw events and a cascade of change that are irreversible. It is fun to consider the idea though and it would require a lot of government financed investigation and consideration by excellent scientists from a number of discipline for at least a decade before even considering build the thing.

Financing a vast sunscreen at L-5 would be challenging as would construction. Does one hire Boeing to get it done? The N.A.S.A. effort to return astronauts to the moon is going kinda slow. Would the 1000 mile tin foil sombrero get built faster?

Police Unions, Violence and Class Consciousness

 This is a theoretical deliberation on a social phenomenon; unnecessary police violence.

In Anchorage last week police entered a home following up on a call and shot to death a 16 year old girl with a knife. Like most other major urban police forces the officers were members of a union. Can the union mentality be a cause for overly lethal police violence? Instead of defunding police could it be that de-unionizing police departments would restore a equality in identity with citizenship and humanity to law enforcement?

Government unions are dangerous. They build a wall between themselves as self identity as ordinary citizens of a democracy. Ordinary policemen and government employees don’t share the same self-identity as being equal independent people. In order for the Bolshevik revolution to happen, soviet or in effect sovereign unions needed to infiltrate the military. When the Kronstadt naval rebellion occurred the cascade of union revolutions followed.

Unions can promote the sort of class consciousness found in gangs. Gangs and wolf packs can defend themselves too aggressively and effectively for their targets to survive close encounters. Wolves respect humans generally for their size and leave them alone. Wolves have a sense of easy association with humans, unlike police members of unions.

Cruising in cars sets them apart from two-leggers on the street easily as may walking heavily loaded with weapons, chemical mace, and clubs. They do not identify with the groups they police. So much as the great union pay and benefits.

Union programming sometimes transcends ordinary citizenship growing intolerant of any kind of threat to job security and risk from ‘scabs’. Hence the inclination to use excessive force to subdue dissent from civilians that appear to be any kind of threat to class security and power. Union broadcasters probably have their six. Government unions displace individual citizens as the primary people for government to serve. Instead the government exists to pay union members better salaries and retirement benefits. Union power has spread over governments like fungus. Reform becomes impossible.

Honest police forces are necessary for the stability of a healthy social environment where individuals and their rights including privacy have the primary and fundamental place in civil society. There can be higher and more power social class such as unions can present. Unions with guns can be hazardous to civil health, law and order.

The most civil violence in American cities beginning with the black lives matter movement occurred in cities with left-leaning politicians. Cities like Portland Oregon and Seattle Washington have experienced leftist, pro-union leadership and protracted periods of near urban anarchy since the Obama administration. Union workers probably don’t regard themselves as leftists, though politicians do.

Violence and police violence have raised calls to defund police from the left. Politicians of the left generally have union support. The entire situation can be self-reinforcing with class conscious union police using violence o leftist protesters to get support fro leftist politicians and media to defund police and redistribute power and prosperity to the leftist constituency.

Part of the problem with a malfunctioning American political economy is the decades of gerrymandering pay out entitlements that have made a Swiss cheese maze of unintended economic structures, advantages and disadvantages instead of plain social equality. To rectify the situation it might be a good idea to create a basic income of $12,000 for all adult U.S. citizens, and $3000 for minors while eliminating all entitlement programs from food stamps, social security, military and government retirement to unemployment, guaranteed student loans and so forth. Every citizen would have a basic income until they reached a threshold of $41,000 in annual income. That would render social entitlements as plain as Roman was Roman law. Collateral benefits would such as a drop in people going to jail costing $50,000 annually because of economic stress related crimes. Younger adults would have more access to capital for entrepreneurial ventures. All adults would be better positioned to endure ecological economic and other tech shocks to the system that are disruptive yet perhaps requisite for civilization to eliminate its economic practices that are destroying the health of the ecosphere and innovate constructive, synergetic ecological economic procedures.

It is of course quite reasonable for workers to use collective bargaining to market their product that is labor with massive organizations in the private sector. Separately negotiating other labor benefits or rights to unions exclusively instead of legislating rights for all workers in the nation together is harmful to the sovereignty of individual citizenship collectively. Government needs to be flexible and adaptable; unionized government interferes with that. If a citizen wants more than the basic income during working years and when old, they should get a job or start a business savings some of their capital perhaps combining that with a few friends’ capital. It is interesting to consider that housing is the primary expense. Transport could be made very cheap with electric go-carts for local lower speed use and freeways converted to automatic electric slots for moving vehicles automatically to selected off ramps with proper spacing and low-risk, zero pollution inter-modal progress. Food will remain costly as it is increasingly internationally supplied and delivered.

My grandfather’s house purchased in 1965 cost $5000. It was a decent place with a very good garden. The average cost of a home today in the U.S.A. is something like $400,000; that exemplifies the failure of capitalism to produce a better cheaper product over time, as is the case with automobile transport. More so than being capitalism’s failure, it may be a failure caused by the unionization of government and the quest for retirement wealth and luxury that is unsustainable as it ossifies and reinforces a limited, finite and exclusive enrollment period to in an ossified political economy. Political and economic ossification are prime causal factors within Arnold Toynbee’s historical cycles of the rise and fall of civilization. Surpassing the cycles requires intelligent leadership commonly lacking from the left’s social studies.

With a basic income of $12,000 an individual could live well enough in the U.S.A. if housing and transportation costs were recovered to a 1960s standard with of course the addition of contemporary electronic devices, solar panel roofing, foam insulation and ground Earth heating-cooling..

Ranked Choice Presidential Elections?

 Alaska presently has ranked choice voting. Could it be a model for future Presidential elections?

Here is an example ballot of ranked choice menu options (soon to appear at select restaurants for ordering food too) obtained from a likely voter.

1) Donald Trump

2) Pamela Harris

3) Gus Hall

4) Cornel West

4)) Robert Kennedy Jr.

5) Jill Stein

6) ‘Bull’ Maduro

7) Vladimir Putin

8) E.T.

9) Elvis

With those rankings the voters second choice could become the likely President if she gets more votes than the third place and seventh place candidates got in their votes combined. If the fifth place finisher is able to get exactly as many votes as Ferdinand Franco, she will get a $25,000 gift certificate from burgers-are-us if the seventh and fourth ranked candidates receive more votes than the second and first combined.

Ranked choices are useful for tie breaks, coffee breaks and electoral psychological breaks required to grease the way for second place finishers to leap up after careful computing and vote counts to first place. That way everything is plain and clear. Ranked choice voting plainly makes voter transparency transparent when is operated by the Magic Company.

The nation has many options to elect candidates now and in the future that will f things up good. One though may miss out on getting the atomic war started, and that is something to consider.

Israel Should Offer Homesteads to Palestinians in Gaza

 Israel needs to eliminate Hamas and Palestinians *an Israelis) need to get on with their lives. Should Israel just negotiate directly with Palestinians by offering mini-ranch homestead lots and condos to real citizens of Gaza that want to sign up to live in one on a first come, first served basis.

Israel and international financiers would help pay for most of the cost of rebuilding housing for the homeless in decent green, solar power structures with electric toilets. Each neighborhood could be something like a Kibbutz with independent political rule elected from their neighborhood and those people would merge into a national assembly administered by Israel for a time, as did the Privy Committee once rule Canada for the British.

it is time that Israel move on past Hamas.

In First Place (a poem)

 

How they go about the race to nowhere
they left the same time
taking different routes away from the city
differentiating in the rains and desert heat
gaining and losing weight, patience and prosperity
followed by poverty with reports of shadows

Mountains with stones falling
within craters of volcanoes
surprising comets across a beautiful blue sky
laws and regulations
scriven on Newtonian apples
within a season of civilization
plugged into power sockets

The time grew to integrals and universals
differentiating relativity in forms of simultaneity
varying near observation platforms
they sought to reach
with tiring experience perspectives of colors faded
foam surged to fill entire regions
where things came apart
in season.

The Inheritance (a poem)

 

   Fully automatic check out lines
robotic arms sort the union’s groceries
tallied by A.I, with digital video receipts
delivered to A.I. empowered cars
where chauffeurs sleep
and servants will clean up the mess

   Three-D printers of copious drones
Democrat’s wars on Earth and space
set up the meek to inherit the Earth
who might wish that powerful war politicians of orbit
would be on their way to worlds of wealth beyond

   Some diamond covered planets of glory
three-d printed space ships in microgravity
aluminum fused frames in the vacuum
with power sufficient to live at the edge
bring light to the end of the tunnel
the wormhole tunnel of worms

   Three-d printers with A.I. designers
ordering the fastest, sleek undersea drones
bring more efficiency to wars
with drones for every city
churning the polity and elite positions
preparing the inheritance.

Nothingness is Faster Than Light (a poem)

 

In the sea of nothingness
distance does not exist
speed has no limit
nor reference point consist

  A Universe of space-time
coheres within nothingness like a dream
its quanta have a dual existence
one to mass, another to nothing it seems

  Touching nothingness quanta super-position
information distributes to all possible places
faster-than light, day overcomes night
the phenomena of being clear gravity spaces

  Surface tensions of a Universe expanse
contact free space infinity
quantum field reflections
drawn on time’s mass insurrections

  Four dimensions contact zero dimension’s heart
nowhere to begin
nothing to end at a start
God’s eternal art need win

  The superfluous stretch of space-time
positions wrap unto none
where everywhere and thing locate nothingness
ditto shapes and  echo  rhyme

  Gravity is a positive quality of mass
a field rolling itself up
flying apart in contact with nothingness
returning to the forever it left to sup

  A project of God with omniscience to see
all points of quanta being, and becoming
realities of data, a fate accompli
flowing fast in temporal streams.

Global Warming: The Error of Economic Expansion

 Since 1982 the United States federal government has run budget deficits. In just one year-1999 was there a balanced budget. That year Republicans in Congress had Bill Clinton by the short hairs because of fellatio in office with student intern challenges. Democrat politicians that came of age since the Reagan administration are normalized to running vast public debts as the new normal. Cutting taxes and piling up debt is believed to have no negative consequences.

The over-population of the world is an old political issue. The United States population has nearly doubled in my lifetime Economic expansion was the essential goal of classical economics in America, yet it has features of a Ponzi scheme to it environmentally speaking. Instead of concern about habitat loss or degradation and mass species extermination the political discourse about the environment has reduced to one of global warming. Fixing that by spending trillions and trillions of dollars on credit is thought to be the way to resolve ongoing existential environmental threats and that is wrong. I should stipulate that I don’t believe politicians will solve the world environmental over-use issue. Probably nature itself will be the hard limiting and correcting force.

China is a world leader and stopping its own population increase. Its historically draconian measures of forced abortion would not work in the U.S.A. China is a leader in green technology for practical reasons that its manufacturing costs are less than in the U.S.A., green tech is a solid export product and it has practical, massive local applications. Economic expansion can take the form of qualitative increase rather than quantitative increase and should if the ecosphere is to be recovered to a healthy condition eventually.

Illegal and legal immigration are ways to provide cheap labor for expansive economics. An economy over reliant on cheap new labor, housing booms, more low-skilled service jobs and public debt that is slow to move away from fossil fuel automobile infrastructure and heat absorbing asphalt streets is one that is not going to be a positive factor in reducing global warming. Simply the scalar increase of population would add more global warming with the economic methods of the present to sustain it than efficiency increases in nationally applied green tech efficiency would reduce it. With the help of classical, expansive economic policies global warming may overcome someday and the world become an anarchic, living hell.

There isn’t anything wrong about a stable national population with low immigration. Three hundred twenty million Americans with off road vehicles and chain saws and polluting substances already have a devastating effect on wildlife. There is a national homeless issue because of illegal migration, over-population and a housing shortage. Those collecting rents are probably happy with that.

Nations like Italy actually had negative population growth before African and Middle Eastern immigration. With negative population growth there isn’t a need for new housing. Especially in the U.S.A. with the aging baby boomer generation there would be a housing surplus soon without the flood of legal and illegal immigrants. No one would be without a home and rents would drop. With a change in transportation methodology to quit using fossil fuels and stop using low albedo, heat absorbing asphalt for streets the rate of global global warming increase would slow. That is a practical reality and one that neither Democrats or Republican can admit reliant as they are on the economics of expansion.

Without coercion to reduce population the United States population would would naturally drop to zero and negative turf. The Democrat Presidential candidate Pamela Harris hasn’t issued progeny herself. Women today want prosperity and power rather than kids. That is OK. Yet they also want cheap labor and wealth-even servants, and the need is probably for more people to maintain physical building infrastructure with increasing vacancies if negative population growth occurs.

Robots and A.I. have developed at a time when there may be a shortage of health care workers to take care of the aging population and that is fortunate. With proper design and manufacture the need to have humans changing bedpans and monitor meds with nursing aids will drop. Americans could survive and thrive with intelligent and adaptive green ecological economics and a decreasing population quite well. The nation should be a leader at bringing green technology and farming to poorer countries directly so they too could prosper in quality in a more sustainable way with low population growth and non-coercive population stabilization.

Americans will want to forge on with growth in scientific and technical knowledge while eliminating housing shortages and homelessness through population decrease and better use of existing resources even as it solves problems of ecospheric habitat degradation and atmospheric heating. It is often the case that conservative and restorative management of things is better than exploiting and overusing them leading to a crash. It is better to remain healthy for example, than to neglect one’s health and try to repair it after good health is lost. The ecosphere is not disposable as are many products. Neither should people be regarded as disposable as they have by various societies and economic circumstances in the past.

U.S. economics is in a sense in the wave of a vast bubble of non-sustainability environmentally. At some point it will crash unless it has the good sense to transition directly toward policies of population stability. Fisheries may crash, atmospheric heating difficulties may increase and water resources become inadequate among obvious phenomena. And each of those particular issues could be solved with right political actions synthesizing technological, demographic and economic applications

Colonel Ham's Franchise Lawyer Globes

 Colonel (ret.) Acronymous Ham disclosed his plan to conquer the courtroom legal business with Artificial Intelligence lawyer programs housed in glowing red and blue spheres a foot in diameter that could be rented and carried to courtrooms to represent the poor and downtrodden yearning for good legal representation.

Ham franchise lawyers would make speed-of-light legal motions and objections in the courtroom drawing on a vast legal database and with additional wireless access to a Ham law supercomputer supervisor. Each destitute client represented by a public defender would find more expedient assistance as Ham globes make their way into the public defender lawyer rotation

Apparently gaming computers with serial, parallel high speed processors can be repurposed with newer A.I. chips and software to become Perry Masons on steroids,and given high quality speech synthesizer voices with variable speeds,and in some cases, wonderful soundtracks that appear when they are in the midst of great, incisive, revelatory, exculpatory speeches to a jury.

The Colonel explained that globe lawyers would have a convenient carrying handle, high quality optical cameras, motion sensors and live data base dossiers on all relevant court personnel including case histories and decisions of judges

Colonel Ham said that he got his operations paradigm from Wal-mart automatic self-check out lines and it was his hope that Wal-mart was slow at stocking made-in China A.I. lawyers on its shelves. The Colonel felt that he would not be able to make a profit if A.I. lawyers were sold below his rental price of $19.95.

The Department of Environmental Health

 Realistically, the U.S. Government hasn’t got a philosophical grasp of how to bring the nation much less global ecosphere into a state of recovery. One shouldn’t expect the Dept. of Agriculture to manage national forests, wetlands, badlands, meadows, plans and tundra etc. Neither should the Depts of Energy, Health or E.P.A., nor N.O.A.A. or the C.D.C. be expected to cover national issues related to restoring verdancy to the national portion of the ecosphere and make a substantive effort to reverse anthropogenic heating of the atmosphere. A new federal department of environmental health should be legislated into being.

It isn’t that the E.P.A.- the Environmental Protection Agency has done a bad job. Their role is too narrow and limited to anti-pollution recovery and select conservation generally. That paradigm is not sufficient for developing environmental health for the nation in an era when North Slope Alaska temperature can reach 90 degrees in August (e.g. Deadhorse 89 f) with much warmer years ahead. Most politicians don’t understand the nature of the problem of habitat and species loss and the maladaptive mass effects of the tool kit used by 8 billion humans on the world environment. Envision 8 billion chimpanzees driving fossil fuel vehicles on the Earth, polluting sky and oceans with aircraft and ships, chemical wastes and sewage, flotsam, jetsam and forests cut, deserts paved with heat absorbing asphalt and exterminating inconvenient species that survived habitat loss and trophy hunting.

Philosophically speaking there are numerous approaches for tackling problems of environment habitat loss, pollution and atmospheric heating catalysis by human machines. The political economy matters; an equation concerning how to restore ecospheric health requires the political economy as an element. Plainly there are innumerable ways to change the nation’s political economy to one that supports restoration of environmental health. Perhaps a philosophy of political economy department could be made a part of a federal Department of Environmental Health.

Good political leadership can be difficult to discover and elect. Insiders may perpetuate their own interests and dominate important offices elbowing out competence. In 2024 the Democrat party had no competitive primaries and the presentation of new environmental ideas was thereby aborted. One insider-Joe Biden, selected his protege V.P. to run and party elites rubber stamped that. Candidate Kamala hasn’t significant classical or environmental economic experience A healthy, positive classical economy is required to afford upgrade to ecological economic policies. Once the classical economy and business are collapse choices are taken away, opportunities lost. That would mean the future of adaptive ecological economics would be bleak and destroyed. Demographics of all would experience downturns challenging to survive.

Government is not the only way to affect the condition of the ecosphere positively. Often of course government policy has affected the ecosphere negatively. In the present era private enterprise has sometimes been a leader in positive adaptation to ecospheric health of the political economy. An example was Tesla’s leadership in transitioning to electric cars away from internal combustion engines. Electric cars are becoming commonplace around the globe; yet of course the changes required for a well adapted to present environmental challenges political economic requires far more than the elimination of carbon monoxide emissions to the thin air humanity breathes.

The Democrat Party has no philosophy of ecospheric health restoration. They are instead spoilers exploiting environmental issues just enough to get environmental voters into their demographic based political agenda. I wanted to write something about that phenomenon.

The Democrat Party is not a party of ideas. It is instead a party of Demographics designed to appeal to a majority of voters. It is thus a party of pandering to special demographic interests to win elections bringing the main idea of Democrats to one of electing demographically approved politicians to prosperity. Joe Biden was a case in point. In 2016 he campaigned on a 3 trillion dollar environment recovery plan in order to low-ball the bid from rival Democrat primary candidates. Fixing the ecosphere for 3 trillion would have been super-efficient.

The Joe Biden environment plan was not ineffective to start with. It was eventually reduced to 1.5 trillion and much of that went to Demographic kick backs unrelated to ecospheric recovery. Kamala Harris has a little of a notion of how to bring about ecospheric recovery as did Joe Biden.

Democrats apparently have little prospect for winning both houses of the federal legislature again. When they had that in 2017 the first order of business should have been to pass a tax increase on the rich. Biden instead went in the opposite direction. There is no question that a vast 33 trillion dollar and increasing public debt can be the first stage of the breakup of the U.S.A.. Vast public debt is risky, yet Democrat plans to spend trillions-as high as 60 trillion dollars, to repair the ecosphere are especially dangerous for national security. A political economy designed to pay off public debt and restore the environment simultaneously is requisite. Is that even possible?

One of the troubles with Demographic based politics is that while focusing on special interests nearly exclusively it lets substantial public interests in macro-economic and environment fail. It leads to something like Aristotle’s political cycle for democracy degenerating in to tyranny. Some Democrat elites of course have a covert-overt approach to solving the overpopulation of the world demographic challenge made locally (nationally) worse via the vehicle of mass illegal migration to the U.S.A. The elite approach brings a method to the madness of actual voting booth party choices. Their idea is that the traditional family structure and way of living of billions of souls is mal-adaptive for the survival of humanity on earth. Sociological studies have shown that as poorer societies become prosperous and women prosper in those second and third world countries they have fewer children. Thus making those poorer nations prosperous is the theoretical solution to global over population when the maximum planetary sustainable population of humans in the present family unit structure is just 2 or 3 billion.

If world resources used in the present way of classical economics can sustain just 3 billion humans at maximum, and while the present classical economic way of living degrades the ecosphere and exhausts natural resources a change to new economic methods is requisite for human sustainability. Flooding the U.S.A. with illegal migrants in order to provide cheap domestic labor, keep wages down and concentrate wealth is believed by the elites as a way for poorer nations to increase their standard of living as illegals living and working in the U.S.A. send part of their earnings home. Remittances to poor countries purposed to cut down on population growth global seems a very inefficient way to make poor nations prosper rather than direct investment in poor countries with new ecological economic procedures. Yet as I may have mentioned, there are no comprehensive ecological economic policies or transitional methods in the Democrat or Republican parties. Democrats rely on the invisible hand of evolution guided by party elites and Republicans on the invisible kleptomaniac hand of Adam Smith’s capitalism as interpreted by a dark pool, dark matter Karl Marx.

A solid understanding of the discipline of environmental economics and classical economic are foundational for implementation of timely, innovative measure in government and the private sector to attack the challenges-related and interlocking challenges, of habit degradation, species extinction, human land use/zoning, oceanic acidification and warming and environmental heating. Plainly a lot of education is involved. Also plain is the capacity of contemporary information systems to bring that knowledge to the public. A Democrat Party focused on just getting politicians elected and rich who will kick back some support and pork for constituents hasn’t developed realistic ecospheric restoration paradigmata- while Republicans are more focused on business.

The best environmentalists might hope for is for Democrats to actually develop philosophical awareness of comprehensive approaches t restoration of ecospheric health before the 2028 Presidential election. Presently there is no Democrat philosophy of the political economy in regard to ecosphere restoration. Neither is there a snowball’s chance in hell of getting such an imaginary creatures through the political zoo of D.C. politics.

I remember during the Velvet Revolution era of a wish to receive a particular military service ribbon- a beautiful green and white one for being stationed in Antarctica. I was disappointed though, and could not even locate one in military surplus stores to wear on a Vietnam era field jacket in the forest of rural Alaska. A Department of Environmental Health would not be like a new federal Department of Imaginary Military Service and Imaginary Veteran’s affairs made to make people without military service feel good about themselves. Rather, it would provide the government’s part in developing a rational political economy to optimize resource use and to promote economic and lifestyle zeitgeist methodology for environmental health.

A philosophy of national and global environmental health has a large number of possible structures that might serve to restore the ecosphere to a salutary status. There are a lot of possible plans that might cost a lot (trillions) and be ineffective too. There is an opportunity cost for investing in plans that don’t work- like hanging a spacecraft up in space that can’t return to Earth, its better to have a plan that will work right the first time, and cheaper too.

So I believe its time to bring out a cliché and adapt it to the challenge of discovering or building the right approach to restoring the ecosphere to health; measure twice and cut once. For developing a righteous plan for restoring ecospheric health including a supporting political economy a comparable cliché would be to consider with philosophy a thousand plans for environment recovery and apply just one. Yet get it done with a purpose for the scale of the problems are increasing all the while.
