Mar 26, 2020, 6:37 PM The most important reformations in the constitution have to do with the law and rights. The rest of it decreases power distance as intended by the framers. Or the various political, economic, commercial, and educational reforms. If I keep at it for another few weeks I can get the constitution done enough for public debate. I just have to keep at it. And take a break just to do a course video. The topics are pretty much there. I find TINY holes still. But mostly I have to fill in topics and plug holes. Today I discovered a few holes: (a) didn’t handle the distinction between political disassociation for the production of commons, and political and territorial disassociation that would put the federation (empire) at risk. (b) that i didn’t define each of the markets in the ‘man’ (article 1) section. Now, the constitution is wrapped in a ‘book’. That book is a prosecution, judgement, and set of restitutions. The constitution is one of the restitutions. That will take longer. I should be able to get the constitution to edit-ready form during the crisis. The book is now ‘the big book’ because I have moved even the logics over into it. That has more holes. And unfortunately, I still can only work that hard a few hours a day without getting exhausted and having to work on something else.

Constitution Status

But Crisis Isn’t a Matter of Consumption
Denied Lifesaving Care Under These Plans as Coronavirus Spreads — ProPublica propublica.org
—“Alabama’s disaster preparedness plan says that “persons with severe mental retardation, advanced dementia or severe traumatic brain injury may be poor candidates for ventilator support.” https://propub.li/2JihhRY”— —“This is eugenics.”—Jeet Heer @HeerJeet
You say that like it’s a bad thing rather than the correct thing to do. “Equality” is a means of directing resources to care rather than consumption. But this isn’t a matter of consumption but of survival of human capital. If you say otherwise you’re unfit for public speech.

They’re Taking Care of Their Own, Not Us
Mar 29, 2020, 11:38 AM
—“DHS Adds Workers for Gunmakers, Gun Retailers, and Shooting Ranges to “Essential Critical Infrastructure” List”— —“Seems ‘they’ have a plan, otherwise I would expect the opposite of this from Washington.”—@Achtttung
It’s just as important for first responders as it is for citizens. And this is a reaction to some cities forcing closure of gun shops. But yes, it’s looking like it might get out of hand. And yes it should be glorious if it does.

The Government Can”t Manage It Can only Insure – and It Failed. It Always Fails.
Mar 29, 2020, 11:53 AM
—“NYT: The U.S. Tried to Build a New Fleet of Ventilators. The Mission Failed…. As the coronavirus spreads, the collapse of the project helps explain America’s acute shortage.”—@sarahkliff
—“NEW: Read about the cheaper, more durable ventilator that never was. It’s a tale about just what happens when critical public-health projects are left to private companies. SPOILER: it doesn’t end well. “—Jessica Silver-Greenberg @jbsgreenberg
CORRECTION: When left to practical monopolies, not the private sector. The government’s role is to prevent practical monopolies and maintain fault tolerant supply chains in strategic industries (no one cares about ferraris). The government has failed to maintain the MARKET. I should take it further: We see how Education, FDA, and CDC have all failed in their missions. But we also see how Doctors have NOT failed in their mission. If military, industry, and health practitioners continuously updated strategic requirements by govt mandate it’d be fine.

So What’s Next?
Mar 29, 2020, 12:06 PM
—“So what’s next? Will secession and decentralization take root as the wave of the political future? Or are we facing even further entrenchment of the centralized state authoritarian paradigm?”— Josh Deel
It depends if you me and 1M other men make the choice. I’m going to make the choice. Will you make the choice???
—“How then to mobilize and move it forward? We need approx. 3-4% of the greater population to pull it off. No? Or could that number be revised downward in our given “opportunity” of circumstance(s)?”— Josh Deel
We’d need 10-100k to start it, 2M+ to force it. 3-4% to support it, and a quarter of the people to at least not resist it, and provide intel and cover. In simple terms if all the happy christians went to DC with a set of demands, and 1M of us are mobile elsewhere creating pressure then it’s over. But we have to offer a solution that at least 1/4 of the people will want. My view is more than half will want it. That’s enough. In other words, as I understand it, you cannot resist the P-constitution unless you want to impose irreciprocity on others. If you do then we have moral license to impose irreciprocity too. Question is. Can I tolerate producing a podcast to take this to market. Can john and the others take it down market. And can we make it popular enough a conversation (“help us build a new constitution”) that we can get the numbers above.
