Save the planet by population reduction-yes or no?
Save the planet by population reduction-yes or no? What will be the result if populations fall? Saving the planet has become an excuse for just about every “official” action and for official “non-action.” It is used to validate economic coercion on every level of every nation.

Economic governance in the 21st century
Economic governance in the 21st century A global problem waiting to be solved. While this is a worldwide concern, it is a good example to take the exposure of the financial mess, the socialist devolved government of Scotland, is in. (December 2023) This raises genuine concerns about socialist economics. The usual cry of tax the rich is just politics of envy. If anyone doubt the economic advantages of a mixed economy, they should ask themselves why all the economic migrants come to nations with mixed economies, they do not flood Russia in their millions, they leave Venezuela and try to get to USA. Socialist economic do not work in the real world. The SNP in Scotland claim they want total and complete independence from the rest of Britain, they suggest they will have a vibrant and wonderful economy full of advantages for the Scottish people. Recent revelations show that even with huge subsidies from British taxpayers, they still cannot manage their state-run services properly. They have resorted to the usual complaints that they are not given enough of British taxpayer’s money. If they have independence, they will have Zero money from English tax income. Do they expect the EU will welcome them and provide all the money they need? Do they honestly think French and German taxpayers are going to agree to this?

Political Standings Not Withstanding
A Message of Unity in Modern Political Division Across the United States, the country is divided by political views and beliefs. The level of division that currently exists in 2023, in fact, has not been seen in many decades, maybe even centuries. It could be argued that the USA has not been this divided since the days leading up to the civil war.

Private Enterprise vs Public Service
Introduction This is not a rant against good private enterprise, but it is NOT a public service, despite many politicians telling us that certain ones are. This is a bit of observational history and why the world is in such a terrible economic and climactic state because of people being sold the new god of money.

A Victim of Ignorance and Greed
Most of my adult life, I have been a renter or a guest. As a child, I was not expected to contribute financially to my mother's rent or mortgage payments. However, after high school graduation, as an independent adult, I was expected to afford my own housing. That expectation is not unfair, but for over 30 years, I have witnessed and experienced many leases or contracts or rental agreements that have been unfair and according to American history, illegal.

The Dream Home
As a girl they told me I could buy my dream home one day. As a young adult, they told me, no one gets their dream home on the first go. You buy a starter home, build equity, and maybe one day with some luck and the right timing, you build your dream home or buy it. Quickly, I realized just to own a home was the dream. Home ownership itself was the barrier I was striving for.
