CEO Assassin – Social Media “Folk Hero”- America’s Huge Social/Class Divide…. ………Pluto- Privilege -Corporate Greed

A soft snow falls in a hush like Robert Frost’s

…….easy wind on downy flake

The serenity of living in a small New England town is unsurpassed

Close to the Divine One and Nature these energies especially for those that live the Contemplative Creative Life inspires a wealth of world class quality content

One of the greatest aspects of small-town life is the Egalitarian Theos that is an unspoken rule of how people interact.

Any type of show of conspicuous wealth or privilege is deeply rebuffed not with a harsh exterior but with quiet passive social disapproval

Not to mention a loss of any type of credibility or future ability to engage

These are the rules of engagement that have been in place for well over a century or more

My neighbor down the street the scion of tens of millions never drove anything better than a Chevy

To go out and buy some ostentatious auto would be insulting to his fellow “Townsfolk”

This type of garish flash which is the mark and trade of America’s Pluto Privilege Class is taboo

 – offensive and demonstrates an absence of Character and Mindful Sensibility

When the “City Folk” come up in the Summertime

– the locals are amused by all of their superficiality

…but their arrogance also angers them

…as they are condescending and obnoxiously rude

Last Summer –at the local Supermarket

…one of these Bourgeois Types “cut” in front of the entire line at the Deli

God Bless the locals – who have voted for me – thirty-six years

…an older woman looked me in the eye- wrinkling her brow

‘’Bob” ???

Obviously, she wanted me to step up and say something

Leadership carries responsibility as this is trust that people invest within you

We are all unworthy of such grace

- so we return that honor by being a Stand-Up Person

I’m kind of quiet and do not talk very loud…

But I muster my loudest voice – bellowing to the deli attendant

“Hey- Red….This Lady cut in front of everyone –she no better than anyone else – Audrey was before her”

One of the other wonderful parts of living here

There is no Situational Ethics of the Powerful or Affluent

 -  Right is Right & Wrong is Wrong here

Without skipping a beat, the attendant told the lady she would have to wait her turn

The lady was outraged and vented her ire at me

Having started with little in life and overcoming lots of impediments I owe such people nothing

Ma’am – you’ve embarrassed yourself

 – you need to be quiet or even better you should leave

After a series of expletives she stormed off

The locals were thrilled as such Pluto- Privilege always get the best of them

Not today

I must admit sadly my deep contempt for people like her as they have more than even race or ethnicity divided American Society

When I tell this to my children

…they laugh as they remind me

– you live with the same privilege but yours is “earned” and you have never forgotten where you came from

Maybe this sensibility is what’s lacking in Corporate America

This callous detachment from “regular folks”

…the pathological impetus for more and more which stretches the limits of propriety.

Its this disconnection that troubles me the most

I hear all the type from my former students as I inquire about the details of their career the “Nickel and Diming”

—not following through with compensation promises and out right screwing them over on expenses all in the name of these Corporate Vision Statement objectives

…..increasing the market cap so that the future selling price will be greater and the invested C-Suite Class can reap an even bigger windfall

Disgusting!!

The same premise extends to consumers who are at the mercy of some companies that may be their only option

This captive market share receives the same low-ball type of exploitation

Its one thing when the hamburger is 20% smaller for the same price

….Yet, it totally another thing when it’s and matter of life or death

…financial insolvency and future economic ruin  

I live in the First World and my morning starts

..with a quick morning prayer in my study

As I touch my forehead on the exquisite silk naim rugs with its garden of Persian Flowers it is a moment of enlightenment that connects me to my ancestors – deep attachment to my roots

I ask for just for such a simple thing

–that today I can past just one blessing forward

Elderhood has brought so much more self-control

I can understand the rage of the masses against the Plutocracy in America and the need to vent that on Social Media

The deranged assassin is but a psychological analogue of the discontent and disempowerment most people feel

It’s a truly confounding how DJIA at almost 45K

– we herald the Trumpian Nirvana yet to come

Prosperity is just around the corner

Yet the current reality is challenging

…the pressures to hold it all together exhaustively daunting

The future prospect leave most with tremendous anxiety

Mangione’s act reminds me a lot of the 1976 movie Network …when the repressed people opened their windows

In unison they exclaimed – We can’t take it anymore

This is also what voters said on Nov 5th

We reject the current system –We want immediate improvement!!

The Plutocracy- Political Class and their Chattering Class mouthpieces should take note here of the deep seated discontentment that brews in the American Psyche

History tells us when such compensatory energies exists, they find their path from the unconscious mind violently into the light of conscious day

Such energies will not allow themselves to be contained

Mangione more than a criminal is someone besought with too much deliberation on the unfairness of the system that drove him to an overreaction

Of course, the useless America Media Industry just like some cheap TMZ story focuses on the affluence of his family

…..along with some type of Pop-Psychology nonsense from one of their flunkies

Pathetic – as it ignores the larger contextual issue of this cataclysmic divide in American Society

The divide of the Haves & Have Nots has never been greater

…..public knows when someone is taking advantage of them

In New Hampshire

My 2025 New Years Resolution is too actively oppose the Governor Elect and State Senate

......they are cheating our local students in my school district where I serve as an elected official from an Fair Adequate Education

….while they also are pushing  an entire generation into Elderly Poverty

Daily I observe the harm they have created and continue to perpetuate

More than Rage

…its about Resolve

More than Resistance

…its about Persistence

For those of us who can

…we must be the voice of those that cannot speak

To Right the Wrong as this is the Granite State tradition that makes this place so exceptional.
