Right ... And the Broligarchs want us to believe that the immigrants are stealing that 1/2 cookie ... while they add the 9 1/2 to their hoard.
Top down economics is Gaslighting in the lands of plenty.

I've experienced this myself and seen it happen in my students. Do you happen to have a journal article reference for this superego effect?

Here's a different take '...With Carney at the helm, Canada is building the railroads, the deep water ports, the infrastructure, and the international alliances to own the top of the world' without America.

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

3/5

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

The trust that took 2 world wars and generations to build is gone with one election. It will take generations of good deeds to rebuild.

When you sleep next to an elephant you keep one eye open - you never know when they're going to go rogue.

Prussian factory-style schools caught on in the West as the spread of industrialization created a need for compliant, literate workers. Industrialists led the charge to adopt universal education in the US, UK, and elsewhere in Europe.

What is school for is the greatest question we need to answer.

Public education started in early 1800's Prussia in response to industrialization
1. Compliance - submission to authority and norms
2. Judgement - sorting kids into job/career (kids with inheritance go to private schools)
3. Day care - parents can work (some 2-4 part-time jobs) to make more for 1%

So... feel to be conscious, be conscious to be aware, be aware to observe, observe to discover, discover to question, question to think, think to have ideas, have ideas to get into a groove, and get into a groove to get stuck in a rut.
To get out of a rut find reverse.

Ruts begin as grooves
Grooves begin as ideas
Ideas begin as thoughts
Thoughts begin as questions
Questions begin as discoveries
Discoveries begin as observations
Observations begin as awareness
Awareness begins as consciousness
Consciousness begins as feeling

Ruts are visble from the outside
Grooves are visible once inside
Ruts shape
Grooves inform
Ruts begin as grooves
Grooves begin as ideas
Stuck in a rut
Go with a groove
A rut saps
A groove invigorates
Ruts are hazards
Grooves are welcome
Avoid ruts
Seek grooves

Hey Jamie. Have you tried the autotracker function in Tracker from physlets.org/tracker ? It can be used online or downloaded.
Maybe more complicated than you're looking for

"As Canadian as possible under the circumstances'"
It's cheeky but captures what Canadians are about. We do the best we can with what we have in the moment and then live with the results. Sure, we may grumble about the outcome but most of us carry on and find our way one day at a time.
