Humanitarian Government: Part 5 An Urgent Warning, a Terrifying Future

The Midnight Goddess Nyx

I won't say 'good day' to open here. Because in all reality, 'good day' for this topic and the when/where we live no longer exists. Honestly, I wasn't going to put this out for a bit longer. This was supposed to be for giving out the groundwork on government systems and then I would go past that after that baseline was given. Now, I have no more time, and I feel strongly that you need to know this information and act now.

Not that we're into the mess I'm going to describe next. Not yet, but, I'll place a couple of links at the end and you'll have to make decisions. Probably even today. This isn't alarmist. This isn't fantasy. This is coming down the pike now.

Now, I’m no economist. However, most, if not all, Americans, whether they like it or not, know at least some economics just to pay their bills. They may not see the big picture or even see the web of interlocking systems between government, social structures, and how various factors figure in.

What I’m going to tell you next isn’t from AI. It’s based partly on history, partly on our current reality. And it’s terrifying.

January 2025: Change of presidents and executive orders (that have no real power but are still enforced) are signed.

Some rip-off economic and worker-supporting programs, incentives, and stimuli that have created jobs. Within months, those jobs are gone.
DOGE is put into play. Over the next few months, massive firings of federal workers, cancellation of contracts, and more are performed by this unofficial group that was supposed only to advise.
1. The firings are done by e-mail and even social media, not by official channels, and give the reasons that their performance was inadequate despite their records, and simply because they are ‘probationary’, which also covers those who have worked in whatever branch, department, or administration but have recently changed jobs.
  1. Because of unemployment laws, those who were fired are unable to collect unemployment.
    1. For decades, prices have continued to rise, and even governmental workers have been squeezed, especially on housing costs. Because of a lack of paychecks, they will limp along, and some will find jobs that understand the situation. However, houses are repossessed and rents are unable to be paid in some cases, and evictions are on the rise.
Tariffs are called to be the saving grace for monetary policies that are deemed ‘governmental overreach’ or ‘fraud, waste, and abuse’.
1. The instability of those tariffs being instituted unsettles markets around the world. There is a small window where the conflicting announcements were finally ignored.
2. Former trade allies, or even those who already had tariffs but were stable in trade, are essentially betrayed. Governmental instability on multiple fronts turns nearly every nation away from trade at the outset.
  1. New trading blocks and alliances form. BRICS gains influence due to instabilities, downgrading of American debt
  2. The American economy hasn’t stood on its own for decades, and some industries are dependent on various supplies that cannot be found in the US entirely. Within a year, between tariffs here and trade repercussions resulting from policies and tariffs, those businesses will fold.
3. Profit margins shrink a bit for large corporations, and grow faster and larger the lower down the line. ‘Mom and Pop’ small businesses start folding at unprecedented rates, putting people out of jobs, throwing unemployment outlays out of balance.
4. With more people out of work and the amount of unemployment not being able to cover bills, first people will do away with any ‘optional’ bills: any type of spending, even a tiny amount, for ‘entertainment’ or cable, dries up. Telecomm companies will start to get nervous.
5. Since jobs have been slashed and there are more people unemployed, the further along that people are unemployed, the further household cuts are made: cell phone use will drop because a nearly $200 family cell phone bill is no longer affordable, even with the cutting of any bill that isn’t directly associated with living. Rents and mortgages are being ‘rotated’ on being paid, food pantries are overloaded on use and not able to keep up with even minimal supplies going out to those who need.
6. Within a year, between already artificially high rents that resulted from COVID epidemic and barely retreated, even with unofficial, sanctioned roommate situations, rents are no longer being able to be paid, evictions are rising further, and banks are repossessing apartment complexes for lack of payment. The days of refinancing frequently for profit and tax breaks is collapsing, foreign investment firms start to pull out because they are no longer able to make the profits they once did. Hedge funds that relied on buying and flipping are starting to see losses they are trying to prevent by raising prices further, exacerbating the issues.
7. In less than two years, banks' portfolios of repossessed housing hit levels even higher than the last real estate bubble popped, and are unable to rent or sell the properties, both single-family and apartments. Banks try to turn to other methods of stabilizing their business, but the situation is such that only those banks that are not worldwide start to fold. They ask for bailouts despite the OBBB cuts and passing. Congress, even those who are the most left-leaning or extreme right, see that it might help. A new bank bailout that is even greater than when Obama was president happens
  1. Despite the economic strain of bank bailouts, it merely prolongs the agony. Banks fold overnight; cash money (meaning even paper) hasn’t been used heavily for years, as companies have been relying more and more on credit cards. Consequently, debit cards are no longer effective. Those who already had maximum credit card debts are now being asked to pay in full due to financial restructuring or debt being sold, etc. Bankruptcies, if able to be paid for, skyrocket. People who can’t pay those bills and have been rotating payment for months or years because they’ve had to rely on them for essentials, are sued, and judgments against them are given out.
    1. However, those judgments cannot be enforced: without jobs and homes, they’ve turned to alternative ways of simply eating, which may or may not rely on food banks. The banking industry completely collapses.
      1. Barter and 1930-style soup kitchens are rampant. Families who have small children are given preferential treatment.
      2. Birth rates plunge, and sex-related crimes and/or industry skyrocket. Married couples, already strained before the economic downturns, had problems affording children and opted to wait or not have them. Because of a lack of medical care, the number of female deaths from ‘back alley’ abortions or secondary issues has become epidemic. Women who simply say ‘no’ because they aren’t able to either afford birth control or it’s been outlawed are even more reviled and not just by ‘incels’.
8. Because of another set of Executive orders, undocumented workers are deported wholesale after legal means and blocks are ignored. ‘Homeless’ of any type have been equally taken off the streets and put into ‘work camps’. Manufacturing is done with this labor pool that is poorly housed, poorly fed, with little to no medical care, with extended hours, and with zero morale. If not manufacturing, people are put into the fields to harvest what crops are planted in 2026.
  1. Between food shortages created by policies in 2025, medical care and food safety net program cuts being instituted after the mid-term elections in 2026, new Executive Orders and SCOTUS decisions, voting is ‘high’ and ‘fair’ but has excluded millions, there is a ‘return on investment’. Millions lack food and starve, more with no health care--even when essentially healthy before, are put in peril or die because there is no money to pay out or insurance has classified or denied whatever care needed as being ‘pre-existing’ or essentially ‘not needed.’ The health insurance industry is also hurting. With companies closing or decreasing buying costs to entice employers to keep health insurance, even to the point of illegally not offering any sort of healthcare, health insurance companies' profits are plummeting.
  2. Medical research, cut by OBBB or stopped by RFK Jr., has pushed researchers into other avenues of work: they’ve transplanted themselves to other countries around the world, giving those countries a boost.
Between the time of the start of ‘work camps’ to when even any related groups to the ‘cleaning of the streets’ stop taking people off the streets because of numbers in camps, and other factors, such as armed camps who actively repel law enforcement or those groups, Empty housing is broken into, and ‘squatting’ situations happen. At the start, police are called in to help with re-eviction, but between the amount of people squatting, the strain on the legal system both for policing and legal proceedings because the money from property and sales taxes have become a trickle and banks folding or unable to pay the exorbitant amounts needed with new fees declared by cities for the eviction services; police departments are either downsized to become ineffective or non-existent. This makes more people unemployed, and those who help create pockets of safety and with stable and fair-minded polices become power focuses
The Federal government, with bloated budgets for Military spending and ICE, is in trouble.
1. ICE officers, despite promises of bonuses of various kinds, see those promises unable to be fulfilled because with the number of people unemployed, businesses and companies no longer existing, and multi-national corporations located in the US unwilling to pay taxes based on the tax code and tax breaks given, start their own issues.
2. Militias that formed before even 2020 find their numbers swelling, new ones forming, and there are no guardrails or effective federal controls on those. Some become those pockets of stability, some are violent and will take their frustrations out on anyone who becomes a target: people of color, women, and generally anyone who doesn’t think and act like they do.
3. Military service recruitment drops even further than the 2024-2025 lows, and the draft is put into play. However, this backfires. Not only is the military budget not structured to cover the amount of money needed to train and pay for military members, but the discrepancy between the amount of taxes coming in and the budget outlays is so vast that what is called the ‘military-industrial complex’ is faltering. Militias of all types, pockets of stability, and other groupings resist the draft simply because of the economic situation, and where able, those being drafted are smuggled out. Neighboring countries will help to a degree, but reverse immigration strains already-strained international relations.
Corporations that for decades who have had multi-billion dollar profit margins and/or have been receiving subsidies are now in major trouble. Around the world, they are being increasingly boycotted and taxed heavier due to increasing financial issues not helped by their internal polices and stockholders.
1. In America, those corporations no longer have a consumer base large enough to help make the inflated profit margins. Due to a lack of previous tax paying, the Government looks to institute heavy emergency funding schemes based on those profit margins and revamped tax codes that are proposed despite heavy opposition. SCOTUS is overrun by lawsuits filed from both sides in the effort that they be accepted and heard. Stockholders, unwilling to risk further investments or take out investments, shrink profit margins radically.
2. A backlash similar to the post-feudal era after the Black Plague is starting. Between not having workers to perform needed jobs, to even make smaller profits, they are forced to raise pay and offer much more than they have in decades.
3. But even those moves may not change what is coming next.
Religions or Churches that have depended on cash tithes for decades are either folding or their membership calls out for help to the point that those systems are collapsing.
1. It’s not because of ‘cancel culture’ or even a curtailment of religious expression that was proposed well before the 2020 election by a vocal minority. Simply put, those who had the means to help well beforehand spent money on ‘luxury’ goods such as multi-million dollar homes, expensive vehicles, building mega-churches buildings and schools, and jets.
  1. The schools they run will last a bit longer because of their congregations giving free services in exchange for whatever help the churches can give still. But time is running out.
Civil unrest and collapse have reached a tipping point by the end of 2027. Martial law was declared well before the middle of 2026, but what active duty put onto the streets either are there to protect the citizenry from harm because of following their Oaths to the Constitution, or they abandon their official posts and do the same without government sanction.
1. The US is essentially collapsed, and even worldwide, and despite distancing, it’s felt. But nothing exists in a vacuum. New world-wide restructuring is happening, led by nations who has invested in their populations or have governmental systems that may be headed by strong men who are essentially dictators but well organized economically. Whatever standing the US had is non-existent, and the ‘third-world’ status that has been deemed to not have root causes that were even indirectly caused by policy or actions of the US, not addressed, is now on the US.
Courts fail because of the number of issues that come before them, and are hamstrung by previous SCOTUS decisions. Court systems do still exist, but more localized or at the State level. Whatever federal laws that do not fit the populations in certain areas are suspended. Other areas clamp down harder on their populations. Forcing Constitutional rights to be suspended, eventually leading to the suspension of the Constitution entirely.
Depending on social responses, there are several things that can come up from all of this:
1. Civil war. It won’t be of two factions, either. Various groups will be at war, and parts of the nation will clump together in an effort to help each other out. Areas that have seen the benefits of investing in their people fare a bit better, but still have a tough time.
2. The US becomes a third-world nation that may or may not be exploited in multiple ways, just so some areas can survive, by other nations. Some states are able to exist as sort of independent Nation/states and because of their policies, end up forming what could only be called federal-level governments. There may still be ‘The United States’, but it dissolves into a loose coalition of areas governed much differently in various ways, and what little Federal government is left after the collapse is ineffective.
3. People rally despite differences across the board. A forced vacancy of the very top positions of government is done, a temporary form of leadership is put in place to help recover the US, and that may take decades.
  1. In this, the best case out of the three, a new government and social structures come up from the disaster the US has gone through.
    1. It doesn’t matter who did what or what they thought before the collapse. Even those who are, in today's thinking, are racist, ultra-conservative, and whatever extreme on any facet, have had the rude awakening that what has happened was from division.
      1. That division wasn’t good, and despite no one liking everything that will come next, it won’t matter: it’s a matter of survival
    2. The first step would be to gather up the tatters of government that still may exist.
    3. A new constitution writing is underway. There are some who aren’t willing to change from the first constitution; however, their solutions involve taking their conservative beliefs and refining them through amendments that codify those beliefs. There is also a liberal/left sector that wants to do the same, but the opposite way. Progressives and Neo-American groups that are more of far-thinkers and planners break the path and act as a third-party negotiator. They already know not everything they want will happen, but they also know the other factions' wants won’t work anymore. That was part of the ‘old’ America.
    4. The new constitution is in part based on the Articles of Confederation and the First United States Constitution. It remains open to interpretation in the future, but there are some significant differences.
      1. Despite a demand for definitions of race, gender, and such, that is eschewed. Between the Left and Progressive coalitions, they have the pull, backed by the general population, to create an inclusive document.
        Those groups that still exist that demand a return to pre-1950 era thinking and behaviors are now a minority and, even though vocal, are socially and economically side-lined. Future generations, for a while, may still be radicalized, but further generations will also have portions that are exposed to ‘outside’ thinking and social structures and find that what they were taught wasn’t what reality is
      2. In this new document, there are issues that are addressed that would have been called overreach in other times. A new monetary system is created that is backed by resources valuable the world over. The older system of note-for-resource (such as gold/silver) is modified. All finance on a personal level is done by cash, but whatever resources that cash is backed by have to stay in backup status only. Independent selling of whatever is still done in its physical form, just as much money is in circulation, will have the same amount or more in vaults or such on the federal level. Those vaults, however, will also be broken down to the state level and each will have its own based on the economy generated.

Solution

Social responsibility on all levels and in all facets is prized over monetary gain. In short, a form of democracy, Demarchy, is formed and has socialist facets to it. Like all governance, it's not just one system, it's a melding of multiple ideologies, socioeconomic, and geo-cultural formations.
1. Yes, there has to be a bigger federal-level money pool for this
2. However, massive changes will be made compared to today's tax systems
  1. Persons who, based on today's numbers, making $500,000-$5,000,000 per year, will pay a fixed 30% on gross earnings per year. Currently it’s supposedly 37%. However, between loopholes and various other tax mumbo-jumble, those making over $623,251 per year pay less. How did I know that? Well, when someone making well over $10,000,000 might sign over a check of $1,000 for a year's taxes, um…is that 37%? Not by my math.
  2. Anything over $5,000,000 will pay a flat 40%. Sorry, Bezos, Musk, et al, I don’t care how much you make, how you make it, or anything else. The interest alone is more than a family of four makes in their entire lifetime based on today's wages. Not only that, but you, racing to become the first trillionaire, will just have to wait for a few more years. No loopholes, no taking out loans based on corporate or such collateral, so you don’t look like you’re making money or some such. That includes the lower bracket mentioned in i). Seriously, folks, if you can afford investments, savings accounts, more than one house and one car, land, and such, when the working public can’t even afford not to rotate basic bill payments, then you have no place to say that ‘well the working people can afford because of numbers…” Um, not when wages have been stagnant since starting in the late 1980s and costs keep going up, and ‘raises’ don’t even cover 1% of those costs going up. When I worked as a nurse, if I didn’t change jobs once a year, the only pay increase I got was $0.25 or, if I was really lucky $0.50 per hour. If I changed, it was $1, maybe $1.50 per hour. Get a grip on reality.
  3. For amounts between $100,000 and $499,999, the rate would be fixed at 25%.
  4. Below that would be 10%. This is only because of what is needed to be able to pay for bills per month. I’ll get to that in another section.
  5. Corporate taxes will have to sign over money to the government via IRS or whatever tax collection group is kept or created in this post-Collapse America. If nothing is signed over, well….don’t expect me to have any sympathy for you. After years of stagnant wages and/or hours worked/allowed to cut healthcare, or some such to make a fatter bottom line, but still scream about safety net or social program costs in ADDITION to skipping out on taxes. Uh. Yeah. I lost sympathy about the mid-1990s
  6. If any business is multinational, you’ll be forking over 25%. That’s if any offices you have aren’t even in the US. If you do business here, you’re paying 25% of gross profit made off of US dollars. Period. Also, I don’t care what country this is from, either. In fact, there will be one carve out, and it’s not going to be welcomed.
  7. If you’re foreign investors in farmland or housing of any sort: it’s going to be 50%. You own an apartment complex or a string of them…50%, you flip houses, 50%, farmland so you can ship whatever grown there directly to your home nation with a work around on shipping costs or somesuch…don’t care, in that situation since more or less it’s not going to be corporate profits, it’s going to be 50% of the fair market worth of the land. You don’t like that situation? Well, I might sound cold and heartless, but either you buy directly from American farmers, or go home and grow it there. If you’re using land claimed by America, that means that land may or may not be taken care of, as in not burning out that area by overuse. Frankly, based on history, recent history, any land or housing owned by foreign interests has been jacked up in prices both in sale price and rents to the point our population has been priced out. Therefore, I have zero empathy or sympathy for the situation you put yourself in. If you really get to the brass tax, if you’re a foreign corporation that owns something other than an office or offices, such as a headquarters or satellite, representative or equal, sorry…that isn’t yours anymore. We can negotiate a buy-back that is no more than fair market value for the area, but no more. It’s not that I don’t want international investment. But if, as a group, no matter the number of countries involved, you won’t self-regulate your behaviors, we’ll do it for you.
  8. Hedge funds and equity firms, you’re essentially on the same list. The recent history and the very nature of your ‘job’ as buying up a company, doing all sorts of economic gymnastics to gain money, running down the business, and then filing bankruptcy means you’re part of the economic problem. Not a solution nor a benefit. Get a clue right now: if you want to exist, change your methods. Otherwise, 50% of gross revenue/profits will be forked over. Again, I have no sympathy or empathy. I’ve seen too many companies being put under and too much housing being bought up, jacked up rents and/or real estate costs go up two or three times the cost of buying a house, renovating it, then flipping. You want a real estate and business portfolio? Then self-regulate. Otherwise, again, we’ll do it for you.
  9. Nationwide corporations will fork over 15%. And small businesses ‘Mom and Pops’ or businesses under 100 employees and $5,000,000 in profit per year, 7%.
  10. So, yeah, I’ve issues. Based on today's tax law, Citizens’ United, loopholes, and all that, I have no love for most companies that don’t pay in and want local tax breaks, sweetheart deals, and such. The ‘bad’ scenario was partially created by the same corporations today that barely have changed things, but also still make billions in profit each year. Stockholders, which most Americans can’t even get involved in because of our thin line of monetary survival, also gain from that. Frankly, if I had my way, I’d even get rid of the Stock Exchange, and corporations would have to dance and sing to individuals for investment and contracts signed for fixed returns. Granted, that would still cut out most Americans; however, it would also force regulation on those contracts to not be sweetheart deals because they would have to be open for inspection, not back-room deals to find ways of buying and selling stocks to fatten bottom lines or people's pockets. At least not as much.
Corporations, the ones that either come back or were created after, have regulations and laws that were either repealed, ignored, or even laws against the guardrails, beyond what has ever been seen.
1. The tax structure has shifted along with compensation for work. Corporations now realize, and this is worldwide and not just US corporations, that the ramifications of unbridled consumerism, open buy/sell markets, and unchecked wealth consolidation does. Even though the history is fresh, and corporations don’t like it, changes will be followed.
2. An Americanized version of what is considered Democratic Socialism is formed.
  1. Universal healthcare is rapidly put in place before any financial or corporate involvement is fully organized. What little comes into play is still allowed, but by law, it's secondary insurance for those making well over two times what is now set as ‘middle class’, or for elective procedures.
  2. Education is now separated legally from all political and religious influences. Teachers and professors from across the spectrum are the ones who should create a national group that recommends curriculum, texts, and core classes for various educational pathways. Again, there are groups that call this indoctrination. The push back is that every child needs a level playing field. That means a national fund that is split up per child, spending, and standardized texts, so each child is taught the same thing as a base. At home or church, there can be influences, alternative viewpoints, and such. It’s not from a need to ‘brainwash’ children or teach a subject according to unrecognized or unsubstantiated methods or outlooks. It’s the teaching committee who decides these things: not politicians, not laws, and if parents want input, it's already there: influences from home or church.
    1. Based on whatever population makeup of any given school, it will mean how integrated those schools will be. However, the school area assigned won’t be a carved-up area; it would be some sort of x-mile area from the school as the center in a square, and based on whatever input teachers put in, it will mean the maximum amount of students allowed. No economic, racial, or any other breakdown will be allowed. Set areas, set amount of students per teacher, that’s it.
      1. Trades/professional pathways in ‘high school’ are formed. Trades have technical training for part of each day, and standardized, unvarnished, and unbiased classes are taught for the rest of the day.
        For those who need extensive training or education for certain professions: such as teaching, medical, and legal, to name a few, also have a part-day program. That is to start in a minor capacity position to get a ‘taste’ of the profession they are interested in before additional outlays are made for further education, with the other part being for standardized, unvarnished, and unbiased classes.
      2. Required classes are of US and World history well beyond what was taught pre-Collapse, Civics, Health and Sexual Education, English, at least one language beyond English, Maths, Speech/debate/and social norms, with either Junior or Senior coursework to include at least one course of each of the following subjects: sociology, psychology, and economics.
        Basic sciences: will start in elementary school, Earth/biology, and increase to include introductory chemistry and physics by the end of middle school. High school-level sciences will be based on pathways.
        Mental/Physical health/Education Health crossover: Due to the epidemic of certain crimes pre-Collapse and a rampant post-Collapse rampage that was a continuation, despite objections, early education of increasingly explicit ‘sex ed’ would be started well before adolescents. It’s no longer an optional item. Too much damage is being dealt with post-Collapse from the violation of individual autonomy of all genders, which has made it a priority to make sure that personal autonomy is respected, and the legal ramifications of violating that are known. General anatomy and physiology, first aid, and emergency care that can be provided by anyone will also be taught.
  3. Basic Services
    1. Other universal services would be
      1. Healthcare (more detailed):
        Cradle to grave, top to toe, all bodily system care. If you have a healthy workforce that isn’t worried about where they have to come up with the money to gain care, you have increased morale and productivity. Yearly check-ups with lab work should be the norm, so things can get caught early and nipped in the bud. Costs a lot less than responding after the fact.
      2. To promote the number of people needed. The education system would need to be such that getting that degree for whatever level of basic license-sure (like General Practitioner for doctors, RN for all forms of nursing as a base {LPNs will still exist but I’m hoping that expanded skills will allow LPNs to be more than geriatric nurses or replacement CNAs in specific settings}) I suggest a 1:1 year education to work payback system. You take 8 years getting an MD, fine, you do your 8 years, and then if the you want to go further, after that 8 years of GP work, you can become a specialist. Especially if the plan is in place at the beginning of the last year of specialty, that you go into an area with less availability of specialists. Find a way of incentivizing that, based on maybe six or nine months in return for one year of school, but only if you go into an area that has a shortage of specialists. Get a more stable and equal coverage across the county based on population rather than having a good amount in major cities but trickle down to nothing in rural areas.
    2. Child care
      1. An encouragement of something like a co-op system that requires background checks and licensure (national) that also encourages mothers and older Americans to work that system for others who want to work in any other industry/position would be very helpful. This is one of the significant costs preventing people from wanting to have children right now. You support families, and you support single workers, guess what? For single workers, they have the time, availability, and money to go out, meet someone special, and have kids with or without marriage. I’m not saying nuclear families aren’t right/wrong. It’s up to whatever the couple wants. However, there are also reasons why there are single-parent families, too.
      2. Development and maintenance of nationwide mass transit systems that will connect cities and major rural stops. This means rail and bus, to be expanded or replaced by improved or more economically sound systems. In short: if you wanted to go from LA to NYC via any other way other than car or plane, you can.
      3. Job development: This involves monitoring the development of industries or technologies that can benefit and increase job opportunities. Corporations will not dictate this, nor will corporations try to squash new ways or types of industry of any sort that may replace them. If they want to stay in business, well…they have to adapt and find ways to responsibly keep doing whatever they do, or branch out a bit and maybe slowly change over—their choice.
    3. Public Utilities
      1. A complete overhaul of water/waste systems would be instituted. Safe, reliable, and long-lasting methods of transporting, processing, and managing clean water and waste will be developed, adopted, and replace any systems fifty years old or older until all systems are replaced. The pay management for this will be partly done in federal tax dollars. Local dollars will be based on whatever water regulation/restrictions are needed based on the water needs/supply of the area. Example: places in the southwest that are dry and hot with more water loss will have higher costs unless very strict controls on population and water use are instituted. Post-Collapse populations are much lower, and therefore, these types of regulation will be easier to put into place and enforced.
      2. Electrical production will be geared to micro-grids, personal generation (like solar shingles on roofs or encouragement of small solar ‘farms’ for rural towns/cities, down to separate ‘farms’ for well..farms. Each state will have its own generalized grid based on excess electricity generated by various means, but those will also be tied into increasingly larger regional and national systems. Politicians go through periods of screaming ‘Energy Independence!’ yet stymie the development of truly independent electrical generation. Oil/gas/coal are available here, but also are imported for processing and resale, some of which is here at home. Oil/gas/coal corporations will still exist and even use here, but there needs to be a significant push for ecologically sound methods of creating renewable sources that don’t rely on systems that are not upgraded regularly or, in some instances (cough, cough, Texas), not maintained. Companies formed for tasks such as city-wide or rural region maintenance and upgrades would be a good alternative, along with household electrical generation for each household. This would lessen the instances of downed power lines blacking out swaths of populations, post-natural disaster, lack of power for essential services, and such. Yes, a tornado or hurricane can create havoc and major damage, but if each home is able to have a microgrid and/or produce enough electricity on its own, then the impacts have just one less issue to deal with
        Gas/coal systems would be slowly replaced. Those companies that deal with gas/coal would need to put in significant investments to find clean, eco-friendly uses. Seriously, folks, I’m not one of the ‘radicals’ that the right calls anyone who is interested in climate change. Not to say I’m not interested, and I’ve watched climate change since I was a girl. However, it’s not just greenhouse gases that are a problem, especially with coal. The ash and tailings from mining release toxins and exacerbate issues through water contamination in some areas. Clean water and air aren’t privileges; they are a human right—what goes on here, isn’t local either. Remember: inter connectivity!
      3. Internet/broadband will be put in. Not just wires underground, either. Find ways to establish pathways that can be easily fixed, protected, and/or replaced whenever needed. This will be for all areas. Telecomm companies will still be available, but only for maintenance. Otherwise, although individual taxes may be higher, internet/broadband would essentially be ‘free’. The cost is just wrapped up in a lump sum in taxes rather than a monthly bill.
        Telecomm we need to make sure that we’ve a cell tower network that covers everywhere other than the Radio/Electromagnetic free zones. But we also need a backup system: hard-wired phones. Again, since we are a nation, and in some cases, patchwork quilts and the costs of overhead instead of direct costs for putting in place, maintenance, and upgrading on a regular basis would be more effective, that would also be something like all of this. Part, if not all, of the costs would be paid by taxes. Corporations would be only for maintenance contracts, putting in, and such. Not direct profit-driven entities.
      4. Housing
        No, housing isn't 'assigned'. Well, until enough new houseing is built. I'm putting out an infrastruture article right after this, so you'll get more of an idea of what I'm talking about. However, right now jobs are tied to having a permanent address. I'm also very aware that there truly is enough housing, just priced out of many peoples reach. But the building of new housing and schools (again in the infrastruture) will also create jobs. Life in the US will be changing anyway, and what I will be proposing will be more resistant to most disasters. Floods or an earthquake opening a fault line or sink hole would be the sticklers, however I'm fairly sure that's acceptable. But housing will also be a basic right.

I'm ending this here. Part of this on-going series will go into more detail, add more topics, and generally try to explain what 'Erf' (it's an Old English term, fitting for this series) can be like.

I'm rushing this out because what's coming is coming faster than I had thought it would.
