A hint of path for social building. A few years ago, as part of experiment, I began wearing a name tag. Just simple black letters on white, engraved tag "Bill". No politics, no employer, just "Bill".
It is amazing how friendly and outgoing people become simply because you are human, with a name.

The Philippines, which Is now home, has a litter problem. One third of the ocean's plastic waste originates in the Philippines :-( I designed, had printed, and hung this on my gate. (I have several more that I hope I can distribute to friends)
The text reads, "Respect God's earth" (in Bisayan)

Politics is the method, be it democracy or dictatorship of some flavor, by which we distribute scarce resources, generally money and power.
What if we approach governance by seeing need to create abundance rather that just divvying up what seems scarce?
You become post-political.

It's rather sad, and very revealing of 'murican society (and I use the term loosely), when money is seen as the only possible motivating factor for protesting, or doing much of anything.

Please explain. If americans bear the cost of tariffs on imports to america, why don't europeans bear the cost of US goods imported by Europe? Why do foreign tariffs cost US consumers?? This makes no sense, and seems a scare tactic.

"Politics" is how we decide how to distribute scarce things.
Well, when you approach a problem assuming scarcity, you end up with scarcity and having to choose winners and losers.
Life is abundant. Approach problems with abundance.
