usa needs ethical policy

posting this again: the fake commericalization of the USA media machine really grosses me out! the way candidates run. it's all about "sponsorship" and logos and MONEY MONEY MONEY more than actual politcal policy. Marianne Williamson was a good solid candidate. she was in alignment with Martin Luther King ideas. very wise, ethical, sane, and morally healthy. the government has been BOUGHT out by the corporations and they government does whatever the large corporations want them to do. the average citizen IS LEFT ABANDONED for the most part being told they are "free". certain freedoms can be good but when the government has no cooperative ethical responsibility to it's citizens and only works for the "share holders" we are in trouble. when i go to certain european countries with large well funded train stations and national healthcare for all it feels very different. basic ethics in place and not just cut throat competitive capitalism. i am into a hybrid of "free market capitalism" mixed with "democratic socialism" to make a balance of profit making business and "freedom" with basic common cooperative needs being met like fair wages, good well funded mass transit (high speed modern trains imagine that in the USA?) national non profit public service healthcare, social services funded, clean modern water systems SAFE TO DRINK! IMAGINE THAT? veterans well cared for by a military that has a HUGE budget of $698.5 billion USD= they CAN AFFORD to give all veterans a safe place to live and mental and physical healthcare. NOT TO MENTION STOP WASTING MONEY NOT GIVING PEOPLE HEALTHCARE. IT WOULD COST LESS THAN OUR SYSTEM WASTEFUL CAPITIALISTIC MEDICAL SYSTEM IN THE USA TO INSTALL MEDICARE FOR ALL WITH NO PREMIUMS AND CO PAYS AND not tied to employment. a basic human service available to every citizen, rich poor young old sick or healthy. basic human rights. not "expensive" to have a public system of medical care. the usa currently wastes lots of money on marketing and administrative red tape etc. CUT THE WASTE. singlepayer would cost less.

my thoughts on buying "cars"

my thoughts on "cars". i love driving and having the freedom to commute all over the place 24/7 north south east and west: basically even when you "buy" a car you are long term renting because the car dies eventually and you need another one! so it's silly how people think of cars as "investments" they are all temporary. unless i guess you buy old junker cars to fix up and sell for a profit etc.

any car nerds reading this? share your ideas with me if you want thanks! considering having my next car be an older used car with simple engine "old school" (automatic) style but as fuel efficient as i can find as opposed to getting a newer car with lots of electronics & software that are complicated and more expensive to fix. i am a little overwhelmed with options! my car insurance would be low if i get a non "high value car" also- funny how many different kinds of engines and transmissions there are! i had no idea how much it varies. i am watching tons of videos by mechanics talking about cars that are easy and cheap to maintain and repair- cars that can last 300,000 miles! my smart car has 90,000 miles and is a high quality made car (Mercedes-Benz/ Renault) but the parts are pricey- but they last a long time and i get 40 mpg. i don't care at all about "cosmetic" beauty of my next car just a good engine and solid transmission that will last and good gas mileage. my car insurance will be nice and low also if i can get "cheapish" car. my current insurance is only $52.00 a month which i am happy about. i started driving in 2012 so this car ownership is kind of "new" to me. still on my first car.

Last night the musical play we saw was “Christmas Revels” folk music

Last night the musical play we saw was “Christmas Revels” folk music and sung in Romanian, Macadonian, how do I spell that? , Greek, Croatian, Bulgarian, Slovenian and English! I loved the international ness of it! They did not sing any holiday songs I was familiar with which I loved! Fresh and new! The folk costumes and handmade shoes were also beautiful. And a friend of ours performed in it which made it more personally moving - we got to meet some cast members in the lobby after the show etc nice experience

i am with the TRAILBLAZERS AND INNOVATIVE THINKERS

i have unusual unpopular opinions on many topics and this is challenging when i share them with others- i feel so defensive partly due to this. i just need to HONOR AND RESPECT MY VIEWS AND LET OTHERS disagree if they want and know that i am valid and that i just don't join in "the majority" on most issues. i am with the TRAILBLAZERS AND INNOVATIVE THINKERS= the creative ones.

self care

#selfcare yesterday i rested, took a nice walk, painted shoes and watched inspiring movies on trailblazers! Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Eugene Victor Debs

dreams

Dreamt I lived in a big glass dome with two cats and a forest and there were tiny baby bears outside trying to get in- and I had to get my cats safely in through a tiny round door then had to seal it so bears could not go in- there were 24 baby bears the size of porcupines running around outside and the dome was clear glass and huge the size of a American football stadium - not sure why I could not be friends with the bears and invite them in- senses they needed to come inside be be healthy as if the oxygen outside my dome was not clean and safer in the dome with trees and me and my cats- a futuristic dream I guess

powerful dream snippets

Woke from a dream with a song in it “I can never taste your worthless” and wondering if it’s a real song or did I make it up in my dream?! The dream was about remodeling a huge property with house and lots of staircases and actress Scarlett Johansen was there to “assist” ha! Interesting dreams lately- also had one involving a huge two moon scene on the beach with extraterrestrials landing everywhere in orange sphere shaped containers light up like lanterns and was wondering they if moved our moon closer to earth or brought their own moons? This caused the waves to get really huge

be Loose i agree: Laurie Anderson: Advice to the Young

i love Laurie Anderson! have since i was a teen and heard her 1984 album "Mister Heartbreak" at my uncles house! agree with her ideas on not "labeling" yourself as a certain kind of artist if you don't want to be pigeon holed! be free if you want. "multi media" keeps you free! i have always felt natural this way. some aRtists are happy to FOCUS on one medium. not me! follow your bliss as Joseph Campbell said “If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.”

democracy goes out the window when capitalism has no democratic socialism mixed in!

democracy goes out the window when capitalism has no democratic socialism mixed in! this is what unregulated #Capitalism does. when "profit" is the number one goal and priority this leads to corruption. how could it not? we need democratic socialism swirled into our USA capitalism to help regulate rent and healthcare and mass transit being affordable to all citizens and not just good for the wealthy and the corporations! like my poem where i say "increase cooperation, decrease the corporation" that is what i mean. unregulated captialism breeds greed literally! when people are rewarded with low taxes and "status" for being "wealthy" this leads to money hoarding and greed and fear of scarcity
