  A FOLLOW UP TO "A Tale of Two Scottish Referenda and One British" First, the List of Satirists I'm hoping to draft into the Cause: To the Agents: For target audience: I have in mind as prime candidate, Mr. Maher's two projects: Real Time with Bill Maher,  a panel show out of Los Angeles on HBO or his podcast, Club Random , later possibly with traction to be followed the Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and The Daily Show (currently guest hosted by a slew of top rate American Comedians).   Currently, The Daily Show rotates hosts after Commonwealth host, Trevor Noah.  This can be good and bad.  Meanwhile once Mr. Oliver is aboard, and remember his former partner is Andy Zaltzman, the other major node in this with ties all over the Commonwealth.  If you do this--if you get your client on Mr. Maher's platform working material on your Supreme Court's unconstitutional, or given you lack a constitution, internationally illegal action to attempt to deny
POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS OF SUBDIVIDING THE US INTO WORKABLE NATIONS 1. Upper CA would seek Canadian-Style Governance. 2. Lower CA would seek something to do with wealth/opportunity and a kind of liberal (not progressive) Democratic Party. 3. Rocky Mountain Station would be Libertarian and would stretch from Alt. Right to Alt. Left.  4. Mexican Border would be Social Democratic (Urban) and Libertarian (Rural). 5. Plains Nation would be Right Wing. 6. Midwest would be Progressive Democratic Party or Leftist. 7. Atlantic would be the same. 8. New England be a mix of nearly everything. 9. GA would be like the Mexican Border. 10. Caribbean be the most interesting stretching the socio-political spectrum.

DIVIDING THE  US INTO WORKABLE NATIONS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY Subdividing the Map from NBC's Revolution From 2012-2014 NBC aired a program called Revolution . https://www.nbc.com/revolution/about During the third episode, I think, the characters look at a map of what a post-apocalyptic US might appear as some twenty or thirty years into the future of the diagesis (of 2012). I would create only a few changes to this. https://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/revolution-map.jpg I would subdivide several of these into separate nations. 1-2.The CA Commonwealth would split into North and South. The Southern Wasteland would join the South Commonwealth.   3. The Northern part of the Wasteland would join the Western Plains Nation to form a "Rockies Nation." 4. The Southern Part of the Georgia Federation would join Puerto Rico and Caribbean "possessions" and called something like the "Caribbean" along with New Orleans as the second capital as well as parts o
 On the Social Media Double-Bind It's so nice to actually be able to communicate on a workable platform rather than damn social media space where careless creators have taken a consumption device (the smart cell phone) and tried to treat it as if it were a bastard production device (a computer, a tablet, etc.).  Where did they come up with the idea of limiting text by character count?  That seems like: if you have a logistical problem, then don't do it.   There are fourteen-year-olds, right now, whom I will have to teach in less than seven years who think that their phones are devices of production and that the technological--read capitalist--limitations ought to shape the contours of their thinking.  It's bad enough that they will attend their highest level of education before they reach adulthood (age twenty-four for females; age twenty-five for males).  But for the past decade there has been this pernicious extra and completely unnecessary problem. If you've re
 I have gotten on SM for the first time in 2023 for a couple of distinct purposes.  I wish they would use English as an option rather than hastily conceived hyrogliphs apparent only in the minds of the programmers.  I find this dispicaple.  Create foreign language options if you need to and put an English option.  Chinese, Hindi, English, Spanish are a good start for the population of the world.  Given this and the invasiveness of those programs on privacy and the neurocognitive ability of the developing brain as as the adult brain, I am using it largely to direct users to this platform which is older, sturdier, better, and less invasive.   This for example doesn't need to know my precise location in order to do whatever unless I'm ordering receiving a delivery.  There is no other reason on Earth other than to sell data and create an easier way for the major intelligence services of the military industrial complex to come in through the "back door".  Please view the U
