On my tv screen just now:
The
Hill:
"Kamala Harris, Bill Clinton to hold talk on the effect of the pandemic on women."

Is Bill Clinton now the de facto President?

Yes, and Jimmy Carter became the president again when he was consulted on affordable housing.   It's standard procedure.   They put the sitting president in a medical coma during the talks.

Luee:  child brides is cultural.   Otherwise,  we're going to have to hold Christianity responsible for its Mormon sects.   And various Christians in Latin America who also have child marriage.  And some Hindus in south Asia.  Also,  17 US states have no minimum age.

This is a republican funded and organized insurrection and seditious conspiracy. The pipe bombs alone make the whole thing a terrorist plot.

I will post this again for anyone who missed it when I posted it previously...

We must always come from a place of abundance.

In leadership training they told me to always come from a place of abundance, as opposed to scarcity. We can easily grow enough food to feed everyone on earth if we come from a place of abundance, as opposed to letting them starve as we come from a place of scarcity. And sometimes the way to improve things is to think big, even when times are hard and we are tempted to say that we cannot because of poverty. We can live in a world of abundance, and unlimited opportunity, or we can live in a world of scarcity where it just continues to get worse. And with leaders, say for a company, they want people who will make the company grow and prosper, not people who will keep downsizing it until it does not exist anymore. People want leaders who improve things, not make things worse.

With the bad economy, and with the giant debt of the United States, it would be so easy for everyone to downsize everything out of existence, which would only make things worse, at a time when we need to do the opposite and grow and prosper and improve things instead. A great depression is as much a state of mind as it is a reality, we cannot fall into that state of mind and we must avoid that reality.

We must come from a world of abundance and unlimited opportunity, and grow and prosper, and improve things, we must be creative in good ways and we must think big, and every problem creates an opportunity for people to solve the problems, and where there is room for improvement there is opportunity for people to improve things, etc etc etc.

I read that fewer people are willing to get student loans because they are afraid they will not be able to pay them off, and they are afraid to accrue the debt for an education, and that is totally the wrong way for them to be thinking right now, and at this time the USA needs to have a better educated and better trained population, and there will be plenty of opportunity for good educated people to solve problems and improve things after they receive an education. In my opinion the people of the United States need to enter college at higher numbers, not lower. Things are not going to get better if we have a lesser educated population, that is going in the wrong direction, we need a higher educated population instead. So we need to get them thinking from a place of abundance, so that we can achieve abundance, and a better economy and a better world.

And the whole thing with the debt of the United States could be solved if we come from a place of abundance. Much of the land of the United States is government owned land, we are talking abundance, and that land could be sold to private people, and that alone would pay off much of the government debt. The government can also make money with gas and oil leases at a time when gas and oil are at all time high prices, and drilling for natural gas and oil in the USA would be a good thing for many reasons. And that would help reduce the debt. Also, gold is at an all time high price right now, and there is gold on much of the government owned land, along with other precious metals. And that would help reduce the debt. If we come from a place of abundance then we can reduce the debt easily. Then, we monitor the spending of the government better in the future so that we can pass down surpluses to future generations instead of deficits.

Salute,

Tony V.

We need to let the Native American Indians get involved with gold, oil, timber, and seafood, etc, we need to give the Native American Indians access to the bountiful natural resources of the USA, there is no need for the Native American Indians to live in poverty, they can be rich. And they can use the money to build universities on the reservations, and libraries, and they can give out business loans to the Tribes, etc. They can use the natural resources to help their people to rise.

Salute,

That falls under the two wrongs don't make a right category. Just wrong to not allow little girls to grow into women.

I think that comment falls in the sunshine and puppies tier,  issue-wise.   Almost no one disagrees.   The issue was with singling out Muslims as more inclined to support early marriages.  Those concerned with global advancement of women like (ahem) our current POTUS and VPOTUS are aware such marriages are most prevalent wherever there is poverty,  especially rural poverty,  and a patriarchical culture.   This includes Hindu,  Catholic, Protestant,  Parsi,  animistic,  shamanistic,  Buddhist,  and other groups,  spread across Africa,  Asia,  South/Central America, Oceania,  and areas of the Southern USA.   (which my "Great balls of fire! " referenced -- Jerry Lee Lewis and his 13 year old bride...)
