New York to Washington state

Spot Light on North Carolina (NC), my home state. Did you know how easy it was to do business in NC? Here are some stats: lowest corporate income tax in the U.S. along with a favorable legal and regulatory climate, low business costs and qualified talent. https://lnkd.in/eJAGySyw.

Socialist Daniel Andrews, PM of Victoria, Australia resigned, leaving the state drowning in debt. Wild spending, effectively buying votes, weakened society seemingly with the intention to permit ideological usurpation. Ideology, Left, Right or w.h.y., is the enemy of society. Society can accommodate disagreement and compromise; ideology cannot. That's one reason for all the insults and contempt, why it wants it gone If you have a Utopian objective and think you know better, that you know everything, it makes sense to undermine and destroy social cohesion and trust. Dividing people by race is one method, destroy trust in the creditworthiness of the government, in money, in education, in the justice system etc: are others Meanwhile, they blame society for the damage. When sufficient chaos and distrust have been engineered, the promise of Utopia becomes more attractive. It is noticeable that C19 Trades Unions in Britain, fighting appalling conditions and injustice, didn't believe in destructive manipulation. Although they wanted a better life, the focus was on justice, not to become obedient, silent conformists to another system of domination Ideology always has an objective. The most dangerous ideologies have highly efficient systems of discipline to deal with anyone with the temerity, imagination and humanity to think for themselves. Failure to think for yourself is a form of inhumanity equal to attempting to prevent others from doing likewise The pattern of deliberately damaging society while blaming it on society or competing ideological movements resounds in the C20. The 2nd World War in Europe was sparked by two ideologies and an Empire in its dying throes. Failure of academics to investigate, reveal and explain the nature of ideology is largely down to post WW2 only eliminating the ideology of the losing country. (Everyone who died and their families on all sides were losers) Meanwhile, Marxist ideology prospered unopposed in academia, and continued to cause horrors of mass inhumanity in the USSR, China and elsewhere. War did not end in 1945. For all that, it took about 55 years before ideology began to corrupt U.S. and British politics. The old pattern has returned: massive spending, contempt for disagreement, unashamed open anti-democratic attitudes and overt attempts to destroy society to promote ideological goodness. Such is the logic of virtue signalling Canada recently saw huge applause for an ex Ukrainian soldier of the worst part of Mid-C20 German army in its House of Commons. Either they were ignorant, had herd-like servility or were blinded by ideology. This shocking behaviour is signal of the times Doubtless The UK is equally cursed by MPs lacking basic understanding and respect for history, part of the foundation of society. At the very best, the Canadians were useful fools. But I suspect some are happy to see their society damaged, hopefully destroyed, to make way for their inhuman Utopian dreams and our nightmares.

Kevin Rudd – Former Prime Minister of Australia – National Apology Transcript 2008 Mr Speaker, I move: That today we honour the Indigenous peoples of this land, the oldest continuing cultures in human history. We reflect on their past mistreatment. We reflect in particular on the mistreatment of those who were Stolen Generations – this blemished chapter in our nation’s history. The time has now come for the nation to turn a new page in Australia’s history by righting the wrongs of the past and so moving forward with confidence to the future. We apologise for the laws and policies of successive Parliaments and governments that have inflicted profound grief, suffering and loss on these our fellow Australians. A future where this Parliament resolves that the injustices of the past must never, never happen again. A future where we harness the determination of all Australians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to close the gap that lies between us in life expectancy, educational achievement and economic opportunity. A future where we embrace the possibility of new solutions to enduring problems where old approaches have failed. A future based on mutual respect, mutual resolve and mutual responsibility. ~ • ~ Acknowledgement is one step. Ongoing inclusion, dedication, collaboration, courage, the implementation of First Nations People overseeing supports and deep listening is required to see this through. Allyship is a powerful way forward. #closethegap #courage #heart #awareness #create #change #journey #strength #wellness #spiritual #connection #inclusion
