A Commonsense Book with a Trillion Dollar Project

You and Me

Description

This book talks about a commonsense approach to addressing ongoing societal issues contributing to the divide in our nation. Instead of stabilizing other nations and highlighting crime, violence, and danger in foreign countries, we should focus on fixing our crime rate and violence and building our infrastructure first. With the American spirit second to none, as the world leader and blessed land with abundance, the hope for the world, and the most powerful nation with the best constitution, human rights champions, known for standing up to the tyrants, the hub of innovation with the freedom of speech, press, and religion, land of the law, and opportunities; why is our society becoming polarized with increasing insecurities and fears of the unknown? With increased security by the day, why are we more vulnerable than before? By helping the world more than any other nation, why are we hated more and have more enemies than before? So many of us are not happy with the things going around us. Are we complicating stuff by following marketing gimmicks of the mainstream media, politicians, policymakers, lobbyists, and corporations? As peacemakers and nation builders, did we make more chaos? Why are we eager to fix other nations instead of improving our nation first? Why are we trying to liberate nations that end up making more terrorists and chaos? Is this not the time to start evaluating things beyond the glitter, biases, and greed; and ask commonsense questions by making things simple as an American-American, not as a corporate hawk or a biased lobbyist, not as a Democrat-American or a Republican-American? Ultimately, a Trillion Dollar Space Economics Project concept supports and discusses the commonsense mind frame with a vision of peace, collaboration, generating tremendous employment, diffusing polarization, and reviving the post-COVID economy.

The author is a proud American.
A patriot should have the courage to tell compatriots what is right. Nowadays, people are uncomfortable discussing sensitive topics affecting the masses; discussing those topics should be no shame. On the contrary, proactive discussion creates awareness and leads to solutions. Everyone should do their civic duty to improve the system by being objective and transparent to strengthen the nation’s institutions. This book talks about the commonsense approach with some suggestions that matters to many. Still, people are reluctant to talk about those things openly due to fear of repercussions from others’ personal interests, political preferences, religious likings, career ambitions, and generational biases. As Americans, we can at least utilize freedom of speech to improve our system with constructive criticism and recommendations that differentiate us from many other societies and from oppressive, fascist, isolationist, and dictatorial regimes.
Let our fellow citizens decide if this book makes sense, and “enough is enough?”

AN UNCONVENTIONAL BOOK
About This Book – Mandatory Read
I f one doesn’t read this chapter, one may not understand the background and purpose of this book. Therefore, I urge the readers to read this chapter first to get the most out of this book.
Considering ongoing traditional news, social media frenzy, and media gossip, many of my friends ask why some politicians and policymakers make things polarized. Why don’t they use common sense and make things simple? Conversely, why do many politicians and policymakers try to make things complex?
People who ask commonsense questions get responses like: “you don’t know behind-the-scene things,” “it is above your pay grade,” “don’t worry about this – it won’t affect us,” “it’s not your job,” “things are not that simple,” “you are racist,” “government is listening, you may get into trouble,” “deep state doesn’t want you to talk about this,” “politicians do what lobbyists and corporations want them to do,” “you don’t have the security clearance to know this,” and “you won’t get a job if you talk about this” etc. Many believe policymakers and politicians don’t have time to listen or read beyond three lines. Many think policymakers and politicians of today only seem interested in their personal ambitions.
Moreover, the excuse of national security logic and behind-the-scenes complexity gives a perfect hybrid reasoning for cover-ups to cash insecurities, biases, fears, and self-fulfilling prophecies, which flawlessly bypasses objectivity, critique, and sometimes even exempts timely accountability. Unfortunately, I feel some people try to make things complicated for their advantage, just like the case of illegal immigration. I am not against immigrants or legal immigration. The U.S. is the country of immigrants; to me, the problem is not illegal immigration; the problem is the strict implementation and enforcement of the law and lack of real consequences. If the law is properly enforced, will caravans of illegal immigrants keep coming?
To many, the majority of the top guys seem highly selfish and work for their self-interest only; moreover, many blindly follow the trend of their inner circles, careers, promotions, and photo-ops instead of standing up for the right thing. It seems that concepts like maintaining high moral grounds depend on personal preferences and for books and ratings only. Working for self-interest is not bad unless self-interests take away conscience, human compassion, and the ability to differentiate between right and wrong; attributes that distinguish humans from animals. We all go to our own graves; at least, we should be honest to our own souls. But some don’t believe in afterlife accountability. When private monetary gains, personal job security, political affiliations, preconceived biases, and generational memories take precedence over objectivity, national interests, and ethical values, then society’s moral prism starts deteriorating, affecting institutions, and, eventually, the nation. As a result, many of my American friends seem worried about ongoing things in America and worldwide.
Many whispers comments like “politicians, policymakers, and leaders don’t really care about me,” “speeches and promises are just for ratings and show,” and “it seems things in the U.S. are deteriorating at a rapid rate.” Rumors and gossip like these should be troublesome for policymakers and politicians but are they listening, or are they in their own bubble listening to what they want to hear and listening to those they always prefer listening to.
The disconnect between our traditional policymakers, wealthy politicians, and the everyday simple, hardworking, struggling Americans is growing. To an ordinary person, it seems that the policymakers are busy giving aid and rescuing other nations. Strengthening democracies from our taxpayer’s money, but what benefits do our simple truck drivers, factory workers, and Walmart workers get? To strengthen democracies abroad, build coalitions, and put fires off globally, are we neglecting our democracy and human rights and getting more divided by the day. These perceptions indicate the growing mistrust, frustration, and lack of faith in our system. It’s a rat race, and most people never realize how greed takes away inner peace and how karma settles scores. Instead of focusing more on U.S. growth, development, and success, the new trend seems to focus more on countering rivals’ propaganda and negative tactics and trying to build others. Are
