The US economy has several problems. Here are suggestions on how to help fix just a few:

Corporations need to be interested more in the operations of their business and respecting their workers and customers, and less focused on stock prices. If a business is strong, the stocks will grow steadily, organically.

Focusing on stock prices instead of fundamental business operations oftentimes leads to risk in

public safety; for example: Aircraft manufacturers and other factories, and shipping companies.

And not respecting workers while pushing unfair business practices will lead to strikes, like the recent auto-workers’ strike and writers’ strike, and the perceived mistreatment of union laborers at Starbucks locations.

Truckers should be paid over time when they work more than 40 hours a week or more than 12 hours in a day.

And, server should be paid the minimum wage, or more, instead of $2.13 per hour.

Businesses which are part of our infrastructure should be owned by non-profit corporations, (which generally do not sell shares).

Antitrust lawsuits should be filed more often in order to curb monopolistic activity, because competition breeds progress. Private Equity Firms should be scrutinized for anti-trust behavior, to ensure that their thirst for money is not at the expense of the free market. Businesses acquired by private equity firms are often saddled with huge amounts of debt to where it makes the company buckle, and then they just close the business to keep their stock prices high.

Consultation Firms and the recipients of their consultations, acting unethically, should be held accountable for any damage done to the public due to their consultations and resulting actions.

Changing just a few of these things will hopefully help the economy to work for everyone, so that workers get more of their fair share of the overall earnings.

The parties have manipulated the laws in such a way that they now have a stronghold on our nation, and they are holding it hostage.

The most manipulative and effective sales tactics are to instill fear and urgency in a potential buyer. Here are some examples of how the parties and media use these manipulative tactics to push their ideas.

The current members of Congress, from BOTH parties, draft must-pass bills, and then earmark them with things that should not be federally funded, as the earmarked items often benefit a single state or not in the public interest.

In an act of thought control, the media call things “bipartisan” when they’re obviously extremely divisive.

They run us up to the last day before a government shutdown and then argue about controversial spending items that are included in the bills.

What are some steps we should take to relinquish some power from the parties?

Revise state laws where parties can pay money for ballot access instead of earning signatures, to where they would be REQUIRED to earn the signatures.

We need to take a long look at reapportionment and increasing the number of representatives, because the more representatives we have, the more chance we have of our voices being heard, and it’s more difficult to corrupt a larger group of people.

Abolish the Electoral College, and go to a directly democratic system for the Presidential elections. This, of course, would require a Constitutional amendment.

Bills should not be earmarked, and should only cover one topic at a time, so it is more possible for the representatives to understand what they’re voting on, and for there to be more transparency with the public about each new bill.

And, again, the earmarked items often benefit a single state or are not in the public interest, as is required by the Constitution.

We should move away from parties generally, and encourage individuals to run without a party, as nobody is fully a true Democrat or Republican, and the parties are just a show – as can be seen by the way people flip-flop their party ties when it will increase their chance of winning a particular election.

If any of these rung true to you, please help me by casting your vote for me on November 5, 2024.

Please get involved yourself as we’re going to need numbers to get any movement on these items.

Thank you for your time and for your hopeful consideration.

The United Nations needs to get rid of veto powers for the permanent members of the Security Council, whose members include the U.S., France, Russia, China, and the UK.

Having the ability to veto gives unfair leverage to these countries, and it is not in the U.N. Charter, but rather is a de facto power assumed by these countries.

In an effort to thwart foreign nations from gaining more influence over the U.S. economy, we should disallow foreign investors and foreign citizens from purchasing land and structures inside the U.S. except for use as a primary domicile. To continue to allow foreign citizens their right to land, we should issue 99-year leases, but not fully sell them the land. All foreign investors, including those purchasing a primary domicile, must be vetted to assure that they have no suspicious ties to terrorist organizations, and that they do not pledge fealty to an adversary of the U.S.

These, of course, are only suggestions, but could possibly go a long way to bringing fairness to the proceedings at the U.N., and to protect the United States from corporations selling our land to make a buck.

I am pro-life, and I don’t think it should be anybody’s job to end a life.

This is my opinion. However, I won’t impose it upon the nation.

If voted in as President, I will give my full consideration to any bills passed by Congress. If abortion is to be legalized, though, Pro-lifers should not fret… If the pro-life argument is persuasive enough to individuals seeking abortions, the issue will take care of itself.

Many states want to ask a barrage of questions to individuals seeking abortions. Only one question should be asked of those receiving an abortion, and that is to ask if they wish to seek protective custody. And, the response to this question should not be recorded into any log.

anyone who is afraid to return home should be able to enter into protective custody if they wish to do so.

This is the short and sweet of it, but I hope it helps you to understand my view on the issue.

Thank you for your time and helpful consideration!

Natural resources should be protected – especially our trees, due to their importance in the biosphere.

Biomass power plants should not be utilized, as they do not meet peak power needs, and they use clear-cutting of forests as a source of fuel.

Furthermore, forest should not be cut in order to place solar arrays.

Large areas of land are being destroyed for the sake of so-called “green initiatives,” when in reality, these steps are aggressive and harmful for the environment.

Nuclear Power should be utilized more often than it is now. It’s an incredibly viable power source, and it’s not as detrimental to the environment as many other forms of energy production, while at the same time it’s able to meet peak power usage that is necessary for powering our modern economy and households. Utilization of partially-used uranium will make nuclear power even more viable than our current method, which uses uranium rods as single use.

Hydrogen Power is also very promising, since it utilizes saltwater as a fuel, and its output is hydrogen with a byproduct of pure oxygen.

That hydrogen being produced and utilized, (usually in the form of liquid ammonia due to the sake of easier transport compared to the gas version of hydrogen), couples with oxygen to produce a final byproduct of pure H2O.

I applaud anyone who tries to make the world a better place for all of its current and future inhabitants. We just need to make sure that we’re taking steps in the right direction, and not simply being manipulated by large corporations pretending to care for the environment, when all they care about is another kind of green… money! :]

This one is short and sweet.

In an effort to reduce the amount of suicides and violent crimes, there should be a 3-day waiting period on all gun purchases.

For individuals purchasing guns at a gun show, if they are not a resident of the area where the gun show occurs, the gun should be shipped using a method where it does not arrive at the individual’s address for 3 days.

Otherwise, the gun should be held in a location where they can retrieve it at the end of the waiting period.

This one thing would hopefully help to reduce gun deaths. Mandatory background checks would also be a very helpful measure.

I would encourage anyone intending to own a gun to take safety courses, and to use their gun at the range regularly if they do own one.

That’s it for this topic.

Thank you for your time and hopeful consideration!
