#ChuckSchumer added: “We know that Donald #Trump doesn't think things through. We know that whatever hits him for the moment he does. But on something so vital like the whole #economy of America, the amount of #money people have in their pockets, in their livelihoods, on something as vital as this - yes, it leaves you agape at what he is doing & how much damage he is causing. And how little he cares. He thinks it’s a game.”

Apologies for my sporadic appearance on the Fedi. I’m really focused on growing our business, helping people locally with resisting the encroaching fascism and trying to stay positive.

In response to client requests, Christine and I added a 3-month private coaching program and 2 highly-specialized corporate trainings.

The bipartisan ask for an investigation comes after staffers at 18 crisis centers told ProPublica payments were delayed for months and led to cuts, some of which continue to limit urgent, potentially lifesaving services.

How you can try to fix this world, realistically.

Maybe you can start it first per tribe, then expand globally.

Goal: humans should not have to trade in order to survive in this society. Since this creates a tsunami of problems for people and the rest of this planet. (source)

Plan:

Basic needs trade-free.

Make the most basic needs services trade-free. Healthcare, transportation, shelter, basic food, access to Internet (information and communication). You can do that through taxes, through volunteers, through all sort of means. Many tribes already provide some of these as trade-free, like in Europe a lot of the healthcare systems are like that. Not difficult!

Basic Income.

Since this world still relies on trades (money), and people may have different sort of needs and definitely wants, give everyone a basic income (say 1.000 dollars a month) with no strings attached. You can do it again through taxes, via the removal of so many institutions and resources dedicated to track people and check if they are eligible for benefits, and all of the paperwork nonsense that has been created around this. No more "benefits", no more "pensions". Forget about labeling people as employed or unemployed in regards to who should be helped.

That is it!

Now you will have a bunch of humans who KNOW they are taken care of. They KNOW that if they get sick they should only worry about that health problem and not a financial problem. They KNOW that they wont starve or end up on the street. They know they are SAFE.

On top of this, with the money you give them monthly, they can have some power and focus on doing some useful things in this society. At least some will, if not many.

This can grow up over time into a saner society of humans who can refuse to work for bullshit companies, or do any bullshit jobs. A world in which humans have the time to decide what to focus on, who to "vote" for, stay informed and properly inform others.

A world where scientists or journalists should not worry about their livelihood. So they can do their "jobs" properly.

We deserve and need this world. Else there is no intelligent species on this planet.

The Kid Should See This 🌈🪐✨

📅 On this day in 1856: Booker T. Washington was born into slavery before becoming an influential educator and orator.

Washington and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald built nearly 5,000 schools serving over 660,000 students, creating 1 in 5 rural schools in the South by 1928 and educating future leaders like John Lewis and Maya Angelou.
