“Rents have gone up 80% in the last 10 years, while salaries have not kept up,” Carrión says. “Young people cannot leave their homes. They cannot become independent or start families. And this is what people are trying to change from the street.”
"[...]Maricarmen has died. She’s the 87-year-old woman whose eviction from her home of 70 years in Madrid sparked mass protests across Spain. In September, she was forcibly removed from her apartment on a stretcher after the private investment company which owns the building hiked her rent. After massive public outcry, the landlord had agreed to allow her back into her apartment. María Carmen Abascal died on Wednesday just hours before she was set to sign a new rental agreement."

“What we saw yesterday was a prime example of why [ICE] is a terror to our communities, why it should not exist,” says Avila Chevalier. She was among multiple people assaulted by officers with the NYPD unit that specializes in protest policing, known as the Strategic Response Group (SRG). Four others were arrested at Thursday evening’s protest. Avila Chevalier, who was knocked down to the ground by officers, says, “This is why we also must demand that we get rid of and disband the SRG, because this type of response should have never happened for folks who were just simply trying to protect their neighbor.”
Meaningful Democracy
Noam Chomsky interviewed by Bill Moyers
A World of Ideas, Doubleday, 1989, pp. 38-58
"[...] When John F. Kennedy began bombing South Vietnam in 1962, there was no protest. You couldn’t get two people in a living room to talk about it. By the time Lyndon Johnson sent an American expeditionary force to — if we were honest with ourselves, we would say to “attack” South Vietnam — we were barely beginning to get protest. As late as mid-1966 here in Boston, which is a pretty liberal city, we had a hard time having public meetings because they’d be broken up, often by students. In fact, it really wasn’t until late 1966 and early 1967, when we had about four hundred thousand troops fighting in Vietnam, that we got a large-scale protest movement going."

To achieve these essential goals, we must overcome weaknesses in our society, such as "the excesses of a permanently open mind," "the excess of tolerance," and "dissent among us." We will have to learn to "distinguish between the necessity for tolerance and the necessity for just suppression," a crucial feature of "the democratic way." It is particularly important to insulate our "labor unions, civic enterprises, schools, churches, and all media for influencing opinion" from the "evil work" of the Kremlin, which seeks to subvert them and "make them sources of confusion in our economy, our culture and our body politic." Increased taxes are also necessary, along with "Reduction of Federal expenditures for purposes other than defense and foreign assistance, if necessary by the deferment of certain desirable programs." These
military Keynesian policies, it is suggested, are likely to stimulate the domestic economy as well. Indeed, they may serve to prevent "a decline in economic activity of serious proportions." "A large measure of sacrifice and discipline will be demanded of the American people," and they also must "give up some of the benefits" they enjoy as we assume the mantle of world leadership and overcome the economic recession, already in progress, by "positive governmental programs" to subsidize advanced industry through the military system.
Notice that the noble purpose of the free society and the evil design of the slave state are innate properties, which derive from their very nature. Hence the actual historical and documentary record are not relevant to assessing the validity of these doctrines. Accordingly, it is unfair to criticize the memorandum on the grounds that no evidence is presented to support its conclusions, and to question such locutions as "it is apparent from the preceding sections," or "it has been shown above," on the same grounds. As a matter of logic, no empirical evidence is required; pure thought suffices to establish the required truths. .........................
"sowing confusion"
"The Huizinga lecture delivered in Leiden in December 1977. It was published as a booklet in English and Dutch translation: Intellectuals and the State (Baarn, the Netherlands: by Internationale, Het Wereldvenster, 1978), and was reprinted in Freedom (Britain), April 15, 1978. Excerpts appeared in the United States under the title 'The Secular Priesthood: Intellectuals and American Power,' Working Papers (May-June 1979), and elsewhere, subsequently, in English and various translations. Reprinted in Noam Chomsky, Towards a New Cold War: Essays on the Current Crisis and How We Got There, 1982."
"It is in this context that the Trilateral Commisssion study turns to the intelligentsia, who, according to their analysis, come in the familiar two varieties: (1) the "technocratic and policy-oriented intellectuals," responsible, serious, and constructive; (2) the "value-oriented intellectuals," a sinister grouping who pose a serious danger to democracy as they "devote themselves to the derogation of leadership, the challenging of authority, and the unmasking and delegitimation of established institutions" -- even going so far as to delegitimate the institutions that are responsible for "the indoctrination of the young" -- while sowing confusion and stirring dissatisfaction in the minds of the populace."

"Washington's admonition to Americans to avoid foreign entanglements stemmed from his own personal experience. He knew first hand how costly wars could be and wanted the young nation to maintain a goal of neutrality with all foreign governments as much as possible. Washington continued his commentary by noting: 'so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronising infidelity to existing engagements' - Washington still intended for the United States to honor all existing international treaties."

The closing comments from narrator -- think it is supposed to be an older John Boy from Founder's Day. The imagery is touching too especially grandpa, His memory and photograph have been thoughtfully invoked since his passing as Mr. Walton and as an actor.
"There is something within us that tells us all we will ever know about ourselves. There is a destiny that tells us where we will be born, where we will live, and where we will die. Some men are drawn to oceans. They cannot breathe unless the air is scented with a salty mist. Others are drawn to land that is flat, and the air is sullen and as leaden as August. My people were drawn to mountains. They came when the country was young, and they settled in the upland country of Virginia that is still misted with a haze of blue, which gives those mountains their name. They endured, and they prevailed. Through flood and famine, diphtheria and scarlet fever, through drought and forest fire, whooping cough and loneliness, through Indian wars, a Civil War, a World War, and through the Great Depression, they endured, and they prevailed. In my time, I have come to know them. Grandpa, in memory, I touch your face. A distance from me now, I feel you near. The coyote will disappear from the Earth and the whooping crane will follow the passenger pigeon, but you will endure through all of time. Grandma, I touch your hand, and when I do I touch the past. I touch all the small ships that brought us to this country, and all the strong, brave women who faced a frontier and made it home. Strength and love came together here. So not the same, they did not seem a pair, bound together, they were so much one. All I ever want is what they've had so long, and lived so well. A brother with an alien name. The ancient Jason went searching for the Golden Fleece. Our Jason makes voyages every day and never leaves the mountain. A first baseman grown to wife and mother, soft and stronger as she grew. A temper always at the ready hides the best of him, but I know my brother as my friend. A pretty girl deepens into beauty, impatient for time to pass and bring her love. His head most often in the clouds causes the rest of him to stumble, but seldom really fall. The little sister, full of wonder, and far enough behind to be a joy. And close as family were our neighbors, linked to us in ties as strong as blood. Gentility and graciousness lived there, too, the past flowing into the present, the present blending with yesterday. I have walked the land in the footsteps of all my fathers, back in time to where the first one trod, and stopped, saw sky, felt wind, bent to touch Mother Earth, and called this home. This mountain, this pine and hemlock, oak and poplar, laurel wild, and rhododendron, home and mountain, father, mother. Grow, too, the sons and daughters, to walk the old paths, to look back in pride, in honored heritage, to hear its laughter and its song, to grow to stand and be themselves, one day remembered. I have walked the land in the footsteps of all my fathers. I saw yesterday, and now look to tomorrow."

The Waltons (1971) s07e14 Episode Script
The Conscience
"Daddy, I don't want you to be ashamed of me because of something I've done, something I might do. I doubt that could ever happen, Son. I have a feeling you don't think the same way I do about this conscientious objector business. You've got to remember, you're talking to an old soldier. You think I'm wrong? Yes, I do, Jason, if you go through with it. But it's your decision. I need help making it. All right, Son. I'll try to help you. Why don't you tell me what's on your mind? Well, it's nothing new. I've always felt this way about killing. I understand about having to kill stock to feed the family, but I usually made myself scarce whenever Grandpa was slaughtering a hog or you were taking an ax to chickens and turkeys. Nobody likes those chores, Son, but they're jobs that have to be done. I realize that. When it comes to killing another man, that's very different. I just know I couldn't do it. What makes you so sure, Jason? We've talked about this before. Remember those bayonet drills in the National Guard? - I thought you worked all that out, Son. - We weren't at war then. It was the main reason I didn't re-enlist. I've had nightmares about sticking that steel blade in that dummy. It was filled with straw, but I couldn't help thinking that there'd be screaming flesh and blood coming at me, and maybe I just couldn't do it. And in that second of hesitation, it could mean the difference in a buddy's life or a whole squad, a platoon, who knows? I know how you feel, Jason. I had those feelings over in the trenches in France. Every man questions his limits, Son. But there comes a time when you've got to believe you'll be there when you have to be. That time is now, Jason. The enemy has attacked us. They're out to destroy our way of life and they'll stop at nothing to do it. Don't worry, Son. When the time comes, you'll be there. I wish I was as sure of that as you are. Jason, the Waltons have always been there. Your grandpa and everybody who came before him. I've been thinking a lot about Grandpa lately. He was a man of peace, Jason, but he fought in the Spanish-American war. And our family fought on both sides in the war between the states. And they fought for this land before that. Remember how Pa used to tell us we ought to be proud of the pioneer stock in our family? Jason, this is fought-for land. Remember how Pa used to say we owe something to all our family that's over there in the family graveyard? Remember how Pa used to talk like that? I've been thinking a lot about maybe going up on the mountain. - Maybe spending the night there. - It's the best place in the world, Son. - You want to come along? - No, I don't think so. This is a trip you ought to make by yourself. I think I'm gonna turn in. I want to get an early start. Good night, Jason. Good night, Dad.

"[Extract from above url ] Yes. Medicare is the single largest, public program providing explicit support for GME. In federal fiscal year 2022, the Medicare program paid hospitals that train residents $5.88 billion in direct GME (DGME) funds.2 DGME reimbursements cover a portion of the direct costs of training residents, such as residents’ stipends and benefits, teaching physicians’ salaries, other direct costs (e.g., a GME office that administers programs, accreditation fees, educational space), and related overhead expenses."

There's about twice as much per capita as comparable countries have some of the worst outcomes and it's growing pretty fast. So yeah, that's a real problem. And a lot of criticism of Obama's plan from the right, as it's called, is too expensive. Well, there's some pretty easy ways to cut down the expenses.
For example, the United States is the only industrial country that by law, does not permit the government to use its purchasing power to negotiate drug prices. So one effect is that drug prices are way higher than anywhere else."

"US citizens: call on your congresscritter and senators to support what is being called the "AI for the people" act, but to remove the marketing hype term "AI" from the bill.
Here is what [Richard Stallman] wrote about the term "Artificial Intelligence" in the letter [he] sent.
Please join [...] in refusing to repeat the marketing hype slogan, "Artificial Intelligence", that the companies like to use. Let's limit the term "intelligence" to systems that can know and understand, within some domain — which the chatbots of today can't do. For more explanation, see https://gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#ArtificialIntelligence Despite the technology's great flaws, a handful of billionaires and tech oligarchs stand to capture trillions of dollars in wealth that needs to be shared with the rest of society."

Not "libertarian" by any broad meaning and "democracy" in current less than ideal state being overshadowed (to put lightly) by technological entities.

"Clogged ear" and affect on brain, focusing, etc...ADD
"small" countries with handful of people with monies and influence nearing complete control of governments, above states?
What if U.S. had 30-30 people and were heads of technological companies and were "in" government -- what if these people were not satisfied with current form of democracy and wanted more influence over State, etc.
