It's time to break away. The whole urban-rural divide we're seeing in this country is actually a global occurrence. We could be seeing the beginning of a worldwide network of cities.

The Third Period of American Instability
If we divide American history up into 36 to 40 year cycles, we soon see that each of these cycles have typically 2 to 3 terms of the opposition.
Trump has already spent the two terms for the opposition.
The next five terms should go to the left.

The Third Period of Instability will end when the American Collective Mind decides it is tired of being the "Price King" and decides to become the "Quality Republic." Until that consensus forms, the oscillation—and the danger—will continue.

🟦 The UBI Solution
How do we get quality? A UBI. Not as charity, but as a filter. If you hate your job, take the check and exit. Stop dragging down productivity. Leave the workforce to the motivated. If a business can't afford to pay for dignity, it shouldn't exist. 🛠️ #UBI

🟦 The "Price King" Problem
Why the instability? Because the US tries to be the "Price King." We devalue our labor to sell cheap goods. China has cornered that market. We lost. It’s time to pivot. We need to become the "Quality Republic." High standards. High wages. High value. ✨

🟦 The "55% Rule"
Watch the 55% line. When no President can win 55% of the popular vote for decades, the nation is shouting: "We don't trust ANY faction to lead." We are currently in the longest crisis of consensus in American history. The "American Collective Mind" is undecided. 🧠🇺🇸

🟦 Introducing the "PON" (Period of Non-Consecutivity)
We are living in a "PON"—a Period of Non-Consecutivity. Obama➔Trump➔Biden➔Trump. This isn't normal rotation; it's the "Grover Cleveland Sandwich." 🥪 The nation is thrashing because we haven't solved the root economic trauma of 2008.

🟦 The "History Pulse" Hook
History has a heartbeat. 1788 (Constitution) ➔ 1860 (Civil War) ➔ 1932 (Depression). That is exactly 72 years between existential crises. We were due for the next shift in 2004/2008. But the cycle jammed. We didn't get a new order; we got the "Third Period of Instability."

Cause see, we came to the conclusion that if what Reagan offered didn't work, then the default model would HAVE to be, after many years of an historical process of elimination, what the Scandinavian economies look like.
And America's wealthy just cannot deal with that.

UBI-funded community living environments sharing resources for services the residents want.
The only reason we would need government in that situation is to pay the UBI.

We would have a default community living environment, but for those who have different tastes, there will be lots of branching out into different community living environments. Not just for elderly people anymore.
We pay our fees with the UBI and we decide if we want additional services.

Okay, so what kind of economic catastrophe would it need to be to justify the implementation of a UBI.
Let's start it out with a debit card loaded up with imaginary dollars disguised as digits. This card is only good for certain retail outlets at the start, but grows into other channels eventually.

The problems created by AI, automation and the outsourcing of jobs are issues about solvency, the ability to pay your debts as they come due, right?

The lesson we should have learned from the early eighties but didn't learn is that the hole created by the trade threat at the time, Japan, was not about liquidity.
You don't treat that hole as an issue of liquidity.
It's about solvency.
A UBI would finally address it as an issue of solvency.

And so we return to demand-side economics, but we do it with a UBI, a default standard of existence. And if inflation results from that, that means the investment community needs to get on this peace train and get a piece of the action.
We answer so many questions at once when we do that.

The impression I'm getting from people is that "Yes! Let's revisit the problem we were trying to address with supply-side economics!"
They say it with the same enthusiasm we might hear from people who, are stuck on the side of the road with a mechanical issue, and have recently found a map.
