Detroit's Surveillance State

Detroit is struggling with Facial Recognition and enhanced surveillance at a time when neither the State or Federal government have moved forward on legislation that would limit law enforcement’s use based on Constitutional laws regarding privacy.

The city continues to pour more money into advancing surveillance and has only recently gone to the effort of codifying protocols for use,…

Three Kinds of People

Three Kinds of People

via Three Kinds of People

There are three kinds of people in the world: those who are asleep, those who are stirring, and those who are awake.

If you try to wake up the sleeping person he will just mumble and go back to sleep.

If you wake up the stirring person he will wake up just long enough to curse you and then go back to sleep.

Instead of trying to wake them up, if you come across someone…

Reflecting on Impeachment

Reflecting on Impeachment - emoting Marianne Williamson

Emoting Marianne Williamson on Impeachment

We’re entering a time when deep thoughts of how our society allowed a president into office who was declared impeachable from the first day. Collectively we have to take in our personal role and how the system works through us. It’s said that “bad laws enable bad things to happen”.

Our collective moral compass needs adjusting to deny what…

Intersubjectivity in The Sound of Silence

Intersubjectivity in The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkle

Question asked on Genius: does the song explain intersubjectivity? how?

The first verse leads the listener to know the perspective is higher than personal, it is a social perspective reached. In this 3rd person perspective social conditions could be discussed, however people don’t break the silence. Such as a failure to hold conversations that matter – condemning those to the “wells of…

When you consider taking the care and love she brings to those coming to her events… then spread that across the issues she has in her platform – she’s my favorite candidate. #Marianne2020 I listened through her book “A Politics Of Love”, there’s a good reason to aim at the Presidency especially with the sycophant in charge…

Discussing UBI and Corporate Automation

Discussing UBI and Corporate Automation @MarWillaimson and @AndrewYang we need an #AutomationTax

Discussing Universal Basic Income and the US Economy – February 2019

As Yang says – “this is no longer speculative” – the facts are speaking that automation is destroying the livelihood of people in this country. I believe there needs to be an automation tax on corporate profits derived from displacement of human workers. That…

The Fight Is Where Love Is: Saying Goodbye to Lisa Leggio

A beautiful tribute to Lisa Leggio from MICATS – Michigan Coalition Against Tar Sands. Enbridge Line 6B pipeline brings sour heavy crude from Whiting Indiana across southern Michigan. Over 1 million gallons of pipeline crude spilled into the Kalamazoo River from this failing pipeline. The blockade was to halt progress for a while and bring afternoon to the croplands of southern Michigan with…

The community benefits meeting held at UAW Local 7 regarding Chrysler's renovation plans for the Mack Engine Plant was PACKED! No seats, standing only, people refused entrance due to capacity. FCA is expanding the existing plant out to the curb. The empty lots across on St Jean from Warren to Mack are currently being leveled to put in a parking structure. The expansion plans are to change the plant over to FULL ASSEMBLY of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Existing workers at the plant is about 700. The revised plant will have 5,000 jobs. There are over 12,000 construction jobs short term. One of the early questions asked was "what percentage of Detroit Residents would be on construction crews?" It has been very evident that bringing the labor force of Detroit's young workers up is needed badly. Economically the neighborhoods struggle and facing gentrification simply shows corporations and the government haven't brought enough focus to employing residents. Most residents find work outside the city. That means tax incentives and earned wages don't get turned over within the city's economy fast enough. Metro Detroit gains but the city itself continues to suffer. The photo obviously shows Detroit Residents are convened but they aren't getting an eat from corruptions without intervention of a community benefit ordinance. One that most companies are skirting around by being just under requirements for implementing; or as Chrysler is showing doing the work before even a draft CBA is created, then claiming they couldn't fit it in. I'm of the opinion tax incentives have to be withheld / negotiated until corporate behavior listens to public concerns fully. All the pre-meetings need questioned and documented. Decision points in development need to be analyzed for compliance with local sourcing needs. Progress on the project is posted to http://detroitd4.com Detroit's Community Benefits Ordinance is at http://detroit.gov/cbo (at U A W LOCAL 7) https://www.instagram.com/fuzzytek/p/Bu_9PzQgaUQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v8hvsbb7zqjs
