JUST DOING MY HOME ECONOMICS

In four (4) years another USA presidential election will come, but…
I am not trying to get rid of Donald John Trump.
He seems to have hell to confront.
Isn’t it awesome thing to see his children as his backbone?
If he wins again, that is super awesome because he will have fulfilled his promises…
Of bringing jobs back to the USA 
Of wiping out Islamic terrorism of today
And, of giving greater liberty to our freedoms in place.

Donald J. Trump probably is an H.W.
That is George H.W. Bush.
One (1) term he possessed as President.
This is where a pattern manifested.

First, Reagan served two (2) consecutive terms (8 years) and was Republican.
George H.W. served only 1 term and is Republican.
Then came a Democrat.
Bill Clinton served eight (8) years. 
Next came George W. Bush (H.W. son) served 2 consecutive terms.
This is where the pattern flops.
Why, well the next President should have been John McCann; however, Barack Obama, a Democrat, took the reign.
Everything went haywire from here because a generation should have ended.

In this, since Donald J. Trump is a Republican, the pattern revives to an H.W. where…
Republican (2 consecutive terms), Republican (1 consecutive term), Democrat (2 consecutive terms), Republican (2 consecutive terms), Democrat (2 consecutive terms) – should have been Republican but was a Democrat (2 consecutive terms) …
Republican is now the sitting President, which patterns sways to George H.W. Bush if he serves one (1) consecutive term as Commander and Chief.
If Donald J. Trump serves more than one consecutive term, the pattern ends and George H.W Bush is no more part of the equation.
Donald J. Trump has replaced Ronald Reagan.
A new pattern begins where government and history intermingles and is watched for deciphering.

Premium Member Economics 101

One to the next is its mother
Each fiscal cliff breeds another
There's no golden goose
Oh brother, this chain noose
Causes all commerce to smother

Kick debt ceiling blues in the groin
With Ponzi whose scheme we should join
He's someone now dead
For the platinum head
Of a trillion buck magic act coin

My car
Is an expense
(Gas, repairs, insurance)
I use it less and less and stay
At home

Economics 101: Cut Out the Middleman

The Rabbit lay dead on the highway,
All his Easter Eggs scattered and crushed.
His poor bunny ears were tattered and torn,
And his bunny brain squished into mush.

Not one person there would accept the blame,
they said it was a real hit and run,
Til the detective found a little round hole
And the Rabbit's own little .38 gun.

Seems like under this road runs a sewer,
And it was there when our poor Bunny died.
So I don"t think that this was a murder,
It's a pure case of sewer side!

The detective was charged with a criminal pun
And the murder plot started to thicken,
We still don't know who benefits from this crime,
But we now have a new Easter Chicken.

Premium Member Co-Redeemer Vocations Needed

Naturally regenerative
living systems,
like Earth
optimize global ecological opportunities
as co-redemptive economies
of loving solidarity relationships
expressing mutual not-negative subsidiarity,
within a web of interdependent Win-Win default networks.

If we are born passionate investments 
of past yang/yin regenerations
redeeming economic risks
weighed as ecological opportunity
for pleasuring pleasant peace 
with active love for all species,
all nature,
all Earth,
all Universal Intelligence,
then are we also,
at least potentially,
an interdependent species 
of co-redeeming economists
thinking and acting and relating and feeling
sensing and feeling and smelling and tasting
touching and respecting and appreciating ecologically balanced reasons,
seasons of time and pattern and rhythm?
Where fasting advents precede 
and roundly follow
cornucopic polycultural seasons for all cells 
and organelles.

We find and sustain co-therapeutic relationship balance
half way between Yang-ego's deductive-reductive immunity boundaries
and Yin-eco's intuitive receptive co-operativity,
co-redemptivity,
correlation-ability,
mutual empathic gratitude
polypathic trans-actional multisystemic relationships.

If co-redeemers are messiahs
then we are also mutual bodhisattvas
as we intend cooperative Win-Win eco-normative salvation 
and eco-logically therapeutic outcomes.

Perhaps mutual messiahs find it simpler to wrestle with,
rather than against death's pain and suffering,
to figure out what to divest of
by reconnecting within each moment's present opportunity
to what and whom and when and where and why we invest integratively
with each Other's health and well-being,
co-redemptive economically rational, yet passionate, logic,
as well as Right-brain's intuitive temperate sense of balance,
proportion,
enthymematic syntax 
permaculturing rooted rhythms
of mindful songs
and global dance.

Ego's Logos as co-determinate partner
with Eco's Right-brain Mythos
co-redemptive political design
re-creating economic developmental revolutions.


Premium Member Trickle-Down Economics

Nope, benefits for the wealthy does not 
trickle down to middle-class
and the poor, that's nonsense.

Enriching captains of industry? Please.
What about the little guys?
They deserve a leg up!

For economic
and political resilience
it is better to give
AND receive 
compassion
than to give
OR receive 
enlightenment.

Premium Member Citizens Disunited

Awhile back,
in the Dred Scott decision, 
SCOTUS denied rights of citizenship
to people of color
"as a subordinate
and inferior class of beings,
who had been subjugated
by the dominant race..."

So, we need not dig too deeply
to rediscover where straight white male supremacists
and systemic racist allies
might find our strongest
most toxic heritage
language
beliefs
lack of inclusive discernment,
absence of multicultural intelligence
united citizens experience,
values of all people
for all creatures here below.

Anyway,
with this precedent in place,
we might similarly nuance the Citizens United language,
giving corporations the rights of citizenship
without the responsibilities of healthy stewardship,
authority to buy media speech
and heavily invest in purchasing political competitions;

This right more transparently unveiled
as the authority of a superordinate
and superior class
of capital-acquiring beings,
masters of organic Earth's climate degeneration
who have subjugated the unstraight 
unwhite 
unmale 
suffering from non-elite lack of multiculturally appreciated face, 
too slow race,

These assumptions
of who is SWM better than whom,
rooted in outworn 
and unhistorical
and supremacist
win/lose environmental theories,
blossom as further toxic prejudice
against Earth's primordial health rights
and humane responsibilities
to repair damages,
restore peace of natural/spiritual
left/right
west/east
north/south cultural hemispheres 
advocating resonant geopolitical balance.

How would such corporate persons be baptized?
And confirmed 
to be raised in ways and means of a loving Creator God
rather than a competitive and jealously greedy Mammon?

Premium Member Economics of PanTheism

Deifying a great teacher
is also a great way to make some money,
to establish a new commercial market
selling redemption from fear and ultimate failure.

I find Jesus of Nazareth's gospel message richly nutritious
compelling and resonant
when I have full co-empathic faith
that he taught a Way for all individual humans,
and historical-cultural tribes,
to consciously comprehend Earth-natured life
as Sun-spirited love
co-arising crown/rooted hybrid compost
for eternal health and safety
of EarthTribe's co-creation,
Trees of PolyNomial Life as Not-Not Paradoxical Death
reversing Life as Time-DeGeneration.

This view, however, is a profoundly inclusive version
of our co-operative Golden Rule,
and its DoubleReverse Corollary,
"Be not as you would not have others
co-arisingly become, intend, and operate
against you."

While this is deeply rich wisdom
about our divinely humane opportunity and risk,
this wisdom can only optimize with neurodiverse inclusive intention
and will to co-evolve our own-with-Others'
win/win redemption
within each sacred EarthTribe
panentheistic moment of love life 
as full-elational
co-empathic health.

Wealthy development of co-empathic love
grows cooperative inclusive political economics
of discernment and choice-making,
planning and development,
which cannot work effectively,
with optimal resonance and resilience,
within an overly commodified,
deductively divided,
anthroprivileged monotheistic market,
driven by bottom line fear of inhumane death
as loss of timeless EarthTribe now,
rather than loving a healthy rebirthing
neurosystemically functional
reverse-embryonic process
back into deep co-elational TransParent nest
from which Sun enlightenment
 and Earth empowerment 
co-empathically emerged
convex monotheistic light
and concave panentheistic dark.

Jesus as God.
Perhaps only possible
when HolySpirit
is panentheistically co-present
at hand,
now as always,
cooperating our slow-growth political power relationships
as co-arising economic transactions 
of pleasure health
for Beloved Bodhisattva compassion wealth.

Wealth of Eartheistic 
0-soul neuro-receptors

and sacred humanity.

Premium Member Mom's Economics 840

Listen my children 
and you shall hear
of the midnight ride
speeding greed will steer.

Just as our cooperative economy
is fueled by gratitude,
our competitive WinLose economy
is fueled by greed.

Other parallel points of contrast
ecologically and logically follow
in their own sweet and sour time.

Cooperative industry,
business
tribes
governments
systems and networks
enjoy organically limited slow-growth
in comparison
to capitalism and elitism and egotism
fast-growth
toward insufficiency of Earth's carrying capacity,
and Yang-dominant WinLose evolutionary enculturation
of Yang-Yin divisive survival stories--
Mom and Dad never could get along--
secularly supplanting sacred
Yin/Yang health/wealth thrival stories
of slow Paradise
revolving seasonally appropriate deep-ecological development,
listening to both redevelopment Left
and reverting-reverse-time decompositional analysis Right
of restoring nutritional-slow
and toxic-fast
health trends.

Further,
and don't fall asleep yet,
we're just getting to the best part,
slow grown cooperatives toward abundance
are dominated by matriarchal/patriarchal integrity stories
more than fast-paced
overshooting patriarchal Westerns with shot gun dissonance,
the chaos of believing and teaching
that justice is what comes out of the end of a rifle association,
incommensurability of values
across economically healthy corporations
     as also ecologically wealthy organic-flowing incorporations,
both born of FatherSun
     deductive LeftBrain enlightenment
and MotherEarth
     inductive RightBrain polyphonic feelings
          of color and sound
          music and dance
               in octave-fractal
               slow-growth marches
                    toward salt marshes
                         predicting oceans
                         of YangLight
                         slow-breeding Yin-tides of revolution.

Matriarchy,
where what is embedded deepest
is also ethically and aesthetically highest
                                                     richest
                                                          healthiest.

Listen my children 
and you shall hear
of the midnight ride
speeding greed will *****.

And everyone died alone unhappily ever after
as before.

Premium Member Supremely Anthrocentric

Seems like RightWing angry reds
are clueless anthrosupremacists
who joke they'd be better off dead
than organically well fed

Despite indigenous faith in sacred EarthJustice
now rewritten as salvation by capital colonization
redeemer aspirations
falling militantly fascist apart

While blue LeftWing
non-green
more secularly cooperative corporate leaders
advertise redemption
while at best blushing over past miscalculations
extractive and capital divesting,
hedgefund abusive
by investing against cooperatively-owned Earth,
equity binding sustainable 
multicultural health.

Both partisan cheerleaders
for AnthroOnly commodity futures,
coldly continuing win/lose corporate,
nationalistic
anthrosupremacist hubris

And Earth unpatriotic enough
to efficiently kill
other species' great grandchildren,
and, unfortunately our own
not so anthro-supremely resilient
when left hungrily alone,
thirsting for earlier healthcare proficiency
of industrial
militarized Elders.

We obsessively file our grasping nails
while debating how best
to learn to tolerate
lack of future therapeutic commitment
to Mother Eartha's whole-sum
awesome 
multicultural health care
nutritional values

Giving up on hostile 
too hot reds
and receiving too much blues
bad news
to safely calculate long-term
life-care reviews

While distracted 
by counting the number of re-election dollars
able to cohabitate
on the dying head
of a supremely self-appointed pin.

Premium Member Bear Queen Proclamation

There's much to be said,
without diplomacy,
said the Queen
to her Bear

In favor of ancient
transparently royalist wisdom,
"Don't even look at me.
Either you got it,
or you didn't!"

Either you get it
or you don't
And I most certainly do!
rumbled Her Bear
in his Queen.

And yet,
said his Queen
to Her Bear,
who had hoped
for less chatter

I feel something
must also be said...
A proclamation!
of win/win consorts
and copassionate co-investments
and mutually satisfying...

CoInfestments!
erupted Her Bear
with his Queen,
co-empathically,
as it were

Proclaiming cooperative economics
of love
Her most Royal Peak Experiential HealthCare Cosmic Decree

Which even the ElderPriest found long-winded,
and too
" Peak experiences are my sacred territory,
not quite so RightBrain sensual
and LeftBrain systemic terrain,
my royal Sister."

To which the Queen 
most regally replied,
as if She had not just been conversing 
with a nearby salivating
Straight White Trucker,

"Not the way we do 
peak and valley 
cooperative 
co-invested experiences!"

Unless you have Great White Father 
wandering issues
with your patriarchal 
capital-headed 
Either Salvation/Or Demonization
bipolar vocation,
added Her Wondering LoverBear.

Premium Member Yin With Yang, Advent Remix

If yin is Time's regenerate intention
then yang is Spatial Will,
emerging tri-dimensional plans and structures
of evolutionary form to grow
transform
polyculturally regenerate

Yintegrity's advent 
resonantly fluid void of sacred Place,
transparently and ubiquitously stretchin,

Incarnating metaphysical timespace,
excarnating EarthLife spacetime
breathing in as out,
ego/eco-conscious Alpha within 
as Omega without,
birthing midway Mass 
of bicamerally dipolar
co-arising Adventurous Peace.

Premium Member Redemptive Economics

Economies of cooperative redemption,
like taking turns licking 
melting ice cream cones,
favorably contrast to
stingier economies of personal private 
sticky and prickly ownership

Including feeling entitled to purchase
whatever and whomever
I can afford to buy or rent
in cash up front
or through a commercial commodifying
installment plan product
with interest paid out
to a not personally invested corporate banker

So often straight white He
with legal right to demand full repayment
on my unfortunate overextended
ego-imbalance.

Economies of competitive secular development,
rather than sacred cooperative resonance,
sadly and madly contrast,
compete against,
empowering richer economies
of compassionate and resilient stewardship
not entitled to purchase sacred Earth

Nor to shop for bargain basement lands
and seas
and mindbody laborers
unpaid for cooperative working foundations
win/win playing
and designing co-creators
copassionately co-invested
in sacred polycultural joy relationships
in
and on
and now sadly under
our over-rated capital-infested futures
 
Gladly co-investing over
around
through
green ecologies of win/win wealth

Co-redemptive
permaculturally healthy
and robust enlightened financial systems
producing politically empowering 
passionately resilient 
enlightened mind
and empowering body
EarthTribe cooperative outcomes.
