All suffering is caused by being in the wrong place. To end suffering…move! You already understand how important it is to be kind. Even still, you may sometimes have a hard time. How aware are people of their claims? The more a person’s view of himself and the World around him is determined by his imagination, the more he and his life in general simply are as he needs to see them. There is no room then in his mind for seeing that he has any needs or any claims, and the mere mentioning of the possibility of his having claims may be offensive. People simply do not let him wait. He simply does not have any accidents, nor will he ever get older. The weather is fair when he goes on an excursion. Things do go his way and he does get by with everything. Other neurotic individuals seem to be aware of their claims, for they obviously and openly demand special privileges for themselves. However, what is obvious to the observer may not be obvious to the person himself. What the observer sees and what the observed one feels are two things, to be sharply distinguished. A person aggressively asserting his claims may, at most, be aware of certain expressions or implications of his claims, such as being impatient or not being able to stand disagreement. He may know that he does not like to ask for things or to say thank you. This awareness, however, is different from knowing that he feels entitled to have others do exactly what he wants. #RandolphHarris 1 of 27

He may be aware of being reckless at times, but often he will embellish the recklessness as self-confidence or courage. He may, for instance, quit a fairly good job without any concrete prospect for another one, and may regard such a step as an expression of his self-confidence. This may actually be the case, but there may also be present a reckless resulting from feeling entitled to having luck and fate on his side. He may know that in some hidden recess of his soul, he secretly believes that he, for one, will not die. However, even that is not yet an awareness of his feeling entitled to be above biological limitations. In other instances, the claims are concealed from both the person harbouring them and the untrained observer. The latter then will accept whatever justifying reasons of his own. He may, for example, find it inconvenient at times that his wife or mistress makes absorbing demands on his time, but it also flatters his vanity to think that he is indispensable to her. Or, a woman may make consuming claims on the basis of helplessness and suffering. She herself will merely feel her needs. She may even be consciously overcareful not to impose upon others. These others, though, may either cherish the role of protector and helper or, because of secret codes of their own, feel “guilty” if they do not measure up to the woman’s expectations. #RandolphHarris 2 of 27

However, some woman also come of age belatedly. Ironically, such women often seem quite grown-up as children. The fact is, however, that they have simply learned how to behave in a way that pleases adults and they are grown-up more in appearance than reality. They do what is expected of them—but their behaviour is usually no reflection of how they really feel. They may not even know how they feel, so well-trained are they to do what is required. This pattern is found among boys as well as girls but culturally it is more characteristic of the female, because she is taught to be “good,” which means being obedient, cooperative and reasonable. This kind of upbringing deprives children of the opportunity to explore their own attitudes and ideas, to forge a sense of personal identification by trying alternative ways of behaviour and discovering which of those ways feels better, produces better results, and in the end leads more frequently to satisfaction. Some women who get married and have children at a young age never had a chance to find out who they really are. Even if there had not been the trauma of being molested as a child, their inability to experiment as they grow up—because of their concentration on pleasing their parents—will limit their sexual development. #RandolphHarris 3 of 27

This is sometimes compounded by their mothers, who, in time-honoured fashion, let their daughters know that female sexuality is a secret, if not shameful, matter to be discussed among women but concealed from men—a lesson implicitly conveyed by the mother’s collusion with her daughter to keep their fathers from knowing that some of these young women are with child.  Consequently, if at all, many of these young women grow up believing the pleasures of the flesh is something not to be spoken about, and certainly not to men. Even in marriage these women remain tongue-tied when the subject of pleasures of the flesh arises and they have no way of communicating with their husbands. Not that pleasures of flesh have to be exchanged without having to resort to lengthy conversations on the subject. Nevertheless, if a woman feels that all her desires involving pleasures of the flesh or disappointments cannot or should not be shared with her husband, whom she does not expect to understand her feelings, there is almost no way for the two of them to overcome obstacles in the path of satisfaction with pleasures of the flesh. These young woman are looking for freedom but the freedom is not simply to enjoy extramarital affairs of pleasures of the flesh. The affairs are a symptom of a deeper need to learn who she is—not just a wife, but just a mother, but, in her own terms, the “total person” that she feels herself capable of becoming. #RandolphHarris 4 of 27

All too often, such women believe that their affairs are merely a search for the gratification of pleasures of the flesh that they are not experiencing in their marriages. In this sense, they too are victims of the idea that pleasures of the flesh and pleasures of the flesh involving intercourse are a separate function of the total human being, quite apart from the rest of their existence. They act as though the analogy of pleasures of the flesh and food is meant to be taken literally: if there is nothing to eat at home, they can go out to find a restaurant that will satisfy their hunger. It is a regrettable confusion because, despite the legitimate ways in which the appetite for pleasures of the flesh can be compared to hunger, satisfaction with pleasures of the flesh depends in the final analysis on more than the mere availability of a physical partner. This is even more true for women than men—again, for cultural reasons—because they have been taught to be more sensitive to circumstances, to be more responsive to subtleties of emotion, and to require more of a partner than just his physical presence, if they are to experience the pleasure they rightfully seek. Furthermore, if these women understood that what they really are trying to do is find themselves, they might succeed in using their affair in a more constructive way. #RandolphHarris 5 of 27

If, with her lover, a woman could learn how to establish a satisfying relationship, one that gives her a sense of personal fulfillment, and if a sense of guilt did not prevent her from bringing that new awareness with her back into the marriage, she could try to get her husband to join her in creating a comparable sense of pleasure in their emotional lives and lives involving pleasures of the flesh. Failing in that, she might then have the courage to divorce him. Either way, she would be constructively utilizing the extramarital experience as a means of learning what it is that she really wants from life—and how to achieve it. However, even if a person is aware of having certain claims, one is never aware of one’s claims being unwarranted or irrational. Actually, any doubt of their validity would mean a first step toward undermining them. As long, therefore, as they are vitally important to one, the neurotic must build up in one’s mind an airtight case in order to make them entirely legitimate. One must feel thoroughly convinced of their being fair and just. The patient in analysis goes to a great length to prove that one expects only what is coming to one. Conversely, for the sake of therapy, it is important to recognize both the existence of a special claim and the nature of its justification. Since the claims stand and fall with the basis upon which they are put, this basis itself becomes a strategic position. #RandolphHarris 6 of 27

If, for instance, a person feels entitled to all sorts of services on the grounds of merits, one must unwittingly so exaggerate these merits that one can feel righteously abused is the services are not forthcoming. Claims often are justified on cultural grounds. Because I am a woman—because I am a man—because I am your mother—because I am your employer…Since none of these reasons, serving plausibility or justification, actually entitles one to the demands made, their importance must be overemphasized. For instance, there is no rigid cultural code in this country that it offends masculine dignity to wash dishes. So, if there is a claim of being exempt from menial work, the dignity of being a man or a wage earner must be inflated. The always present base is that of superiority. The common denominator on this score is: because I am something extra special, I am entitled to…In this blunt form, it is mostly unconscious. However, the individual may lay stress upon the special significance of his time, his work, his plans, his always being right. Experience is the actual living through an event or events…It means what happens. Not what I think has happened or think may happen or think is happening. They are all in the same field as what I think should (or should not) happen, which has no reality except as an illusion. Illusions are a kind of reality, but they are slippery stuff to live with. People are better off without them. #RandolphHarris 7 of 27

The last act of human intellect, when it reaches its highest level, is to recognize its own limitations and surrender its own authority. However, the surrender is not to be made to another human intellect! It is to be made to the intuition. It is not that man is called upon to reject all his own knowledge and refuse the offerings of his intelligence. However, since he is striving to enter a state where the stillness precludes all questions and all answers, all mental concepts and mental images, he must make a beginning where they way to it is possible. If you try to make Mind a topic for analysis, worship, or discussion, it is no longer the unseen uncomprehended Mystery but a projection, whereupon it is at once objectified and becomes an idea-structure. Such an act falsifies it. If you stay silent in voice, still in thought, you honour it more truly. With so much education and information, so many particular pieces and fragments to keep together and carry in his mind, how is it possible for anybody to keep it really peaceful? Paradox transcends ordinary familiar experience and baffles ordinary logical thinking. If he lets it function, or by faith if he can trust the self-actualized Christians’ teaching, its leap can be made only by intuition. Even the intellectual theory is worth studying despite the intellect’s limitations. It acts as a set of red signals pointing out both dangers and deceptions, wrong ways and pitfalls. #RandolphHarris 8 of 27

Each society has its idiosyncratic standards of personal beauty. The Bushman of the Kalahari Desert, for example, esteems enormous hips and buttocks on a woman, whereas in America the desire hip measurements are much slimmer. The American woman wants to have large (but firm) breasts, a small waists, and narrow hips, and she wants to be relatively tall. In days gone by, the American glamor girl was considerably more voluptuous than our present beauties. Old pictures of burlesque queens look to the modern eye like many of the woman in hip-hop videos. The cultural concept of an ideal body has consequences for healthy personality, because the cultural ideal influences the personal body-ideal and congruence of the actual body with the body-ideal helps to determine self-esteem. If a person in our society is not able to conform with prevailing ideal body concepts, he or she may face problems growing out of diminished self-esteem. If the ideal body concepts in the society are highly restrictive and difficult for many people to conform with, the implication is that many people will suffer loss of self-esteem. The widespread dread that many people have of aging may be an outgrowth of both the rigid concept of an ideal body and the role of bodily appearance in gaining recognition. #RandolphHarris 9 of 27

Although a rational degree of concern for appearance is compatible with personality health, too much concern indicates that the individual’s self-esteem is founded on too narrow a base. Under optimum conditions, an individual will predicate his or her self-esteem on a variety of grounds, for example, achievement, social status, ethical behaviour. Attractive appearance is thus only one of many determiners of self-esteem. The healthy personality can face the inevitable changes in appearance associated with aging without a loss of self-esteem. He or she does not feel that when youthful beauty is gone, so goes personal worth. The healthy personality believes, in the words of a twelve-year-old girl at summer camp, “After all, beauty is only skin. Be a beautiful person, and do not worry so much about how you look.” The first thing to be decided about a script is whether it is a winning one or a losing one. This can often be discovered very quickly by listening to the person talk. A winner says things like: “I made a mistake, but it will not happen again,” or “Now I know the right way to do it.” A loser says, “If only…” “I should have…” and “Yes, but…” There are also near misses, nonwinners whose scripts require them to work very hard, not for the purpose of winning, but just to stay even. These are “at leasters,” people who say, “Well, at least I did not…” or “At least, I have this much to be thankful for.” #RandolphHarris 10 of 27

The future would mean that there is something that is going to happen, a “fate.” The minute you “see” a future you would necessarily change it by reacting, so it would not be the same future. Can you work towards the future? It seems to me false to channel your life. You in reality work in any direction from 0ᵒ, which is where you are now. However, “now” does not exist. You are walking backward into a hurricane and can only tell which way to go by the debris that flies past you. Or you are blown about in this hurricane, judging only the past whether you look into the wind or with it. If you “see it coming” you have already reduced it to a judgment of the past—since all judgments are necessarily of past experience. Best not to worry about direction at all. Just be. Direction is already there. Nonwinners make excellent members, employees, and serfs, since they are loyal, hard-working, and grateful, and not inclined to cause trouble. Socially, they are pleasant people, and in the community, admirable. Winners make trouble for the rest of the World only indirectly, when they are fighting among themselves and involve innocent bystanders, sometimes by the millions. Losers cause the most grief to themselves and others. Even if they come out on top, they are still losers, and drag other people down with them when the payoff comes. #RandolphHarris 11 of 27

A winner is defined as a person who fulfills his contract with the World and with himself. That is, he sets out to do something, says that he is committed to doing it, and in the long run does it. His contract, or ambition, may be to save $1,000,000.00 USD, run the mile in less than four minutes, or get a Ph.D. If he accomplishes his goal, he is a winner. If he ends up in debt, sprains his ankle in the shower, or flunks out in his junior year, he is clearly a loser. If he saves $100,000, comes in second at 4.05, or goes into industry with an M.A., he is an at-leaster: not a loser, buy a nonwinner. The important thing is that he sets the goal himself, usually on the basis of Parental programing, but with his Adult making the final commitment. Note that the man who goes for 4.05 and makes it is still a winner, while the one who goes for 3.59 and only makes 4.05 is a nonwinner, even though he beats the one whose ambition is lower. On a short-term basis, a winner is one who becomes captain of the team, dates the Queen of the May, or wins at the poker game. A nonwinner never gets near the ball, dates the runner-up, or comes out even. A loser does not make the team, does not get a date, or comes home broke. Furthermore, the captain of the second team is on the same level as the captain of the first team, since each person is entitled to choose his own league and is judged by the standards which he himself sets up. #RandolphHarris 12 of 27

An extreme example, “living on less money than anyone else on the street without getting sick” is a league. Whoever does it is a winner. One who tries it and gets sick is a loser. The typical, classical loser is the man who makes himself suffer sickness or damage for no good cause. If he has a good cause, then he may become a successful martyr, which is the best way to win by losing. If he loses, a winner knows what he will do next, but does not talk about it; if he loses, a loser does not know what he will do, but walks about what he will do if he wins. Thus, it takes only a few minutes of listening to pick out the winners and losers at a gambling table or a stockbroker’s, in a domestic argument or in family therapy. The basic rule seems to be that a winning script payoff comes from the nurturing Parent through the conterscript slogans. A nonwinner gets his payoff from the controlling Parent through injunctions. A loser is led down the path to a bad payoff by the provocations and seductions of his parent’s crazy Child, which tempts his self-destructive demon. Sometimes people are grateful to Fate for cutting short the agonizing process. Consequently, one’s social position should not force a job on the individual. His job should be attributed to his abilities at birth and to the education the community has provided to him. The eternal racial seed conflict always enormous in scope over time has now been reduced by the Internet, radio, and TV to one big black-white World heavy-weight match obliterating the sensual texture of the variegated colour boards of lovely local racisms. Mother Earth is a racist. Rainbow colours turn her on. #RandolphHarris 13 of 27

In theory, the word revolution retains the meaning that it has in astronomy. It is a movement that describes a complete circle, that leads from one form of government to another after a complete transition. A change of regulations concerning property without a corresponding change of government is not a revolution, but a reform. There is no kind of economic revolution, whether its methods are violent or pacific, which is not, at the same time, manifestly political. Revolution can already be distinguished, in this way, from rebellion. The warning given to Louis XVI: “No, sire, this is not a rebellion, it is a revolution,” accents the essential difference. It means precisely that “it is the absolute certainty of a new form of government.” Rebellion is, by nature, limited in scope. It is no more than an incoherent pronouncement. Revolution, on the contrary, originates in the realm of ideas. Specifically, it is the injection of ideas into historical experience, while rebellion is only the movement that leads from individual experience into the realm of ideas. While even the collective history of a movement of rebellion is always that of a fruitless struggle with facts, of an obscure protest which involves neither methods nor reasons, a revolution is an attempt to shape actions to ideas, to fit the World into a theoretic frame. That is why rebellion kills men while revolution destroys both men and principles. #RandolphHarris 14 of 27

However, for the same reasons, it can be said that there has not yet been a revolution in the course of history. There could only be one, and that would be the definitive revolution. The movement that seems to complete the circle already begins to describe another at the precise moment when the new government is formed. The anarchists, with Varlet as their leader, were made well aware of the fact that the government and revolution are incompatible in the direct sense. “It implies a contradiction” says Proudhon, “that a government could ever by revolutionary, for the very simple reason that it is the government.” Now that the experiment has been made, let us qualify that statement by adding that a government can be revolutionary only in opposition to other governments. Revolutionary governments are obliged, most of the time, to be war governments. The more extensive the revolution, the more considerable the chances of the war that it implies. The society born of the revolution of 1789 wanted to fight for Europe. The society born of the 1917 revolution is fighting for universal dominion. Total revolution ends by demanding—we shall see why—the control of the World. If it must, while waiting for it to happen, the history of man, in one sense, is the sum total of his successive rebellions. #RandolphHarris 15 of 27

In other words, the movement of transition which can be clearly expressed in terms of space is only an approximation in terms of time. What was devoutly called, in the nineteenth century, the progressive emancipation of the human race appears, from the outside, like an uninterrupted series of rebellions, which overreach themselves and try to find their formulation in ideas, but which have not yet reached the point of definitive revolution where everything in Heaven and on Earth would be stabilized. A superficial examination seems to imply, rather than any real emancipation, an affirmation of mankind by man, an affirmation increasingly broad in scope, but always incomplete. In fact, if there has ever been one real revolution, there would be no more history. Unity would have been achieved, and death would have been satiated. That is why all revolutionaries finally aspire to World unity and act as though they believed that history was concluded. The originality of the twenty-first century revolution lies in the fact that, for the first time, it openly claims to realize the ancient dream of Anarchasis Cloots of unity of the human race and, at the same time, the definitive consummation of history. Just as the movement of rebellion led to the point of, “All or Nothing” and just as metaphysical rebellion demanded the unity of the World, the twenty-first century revolutionary movement, when it arrived at the most obvious conclusion of its logic, insists with threats of force on arrogating to itself the whole of history. #RandolphHarris 16 of 27

Rebellion is therefore compelled, on pain of appearing futile or out of date to become revolutionary. It no longer suffices for the rebel to deify himself like Stirner or to look to his own salvation by adopting a certain attitude of mind. The species must be defied, as Nietzsche attempted to do, and his ideal of the superman must be adopted so as to assure salvation for all—as Ivan Karamazov wanted. For the first time, the Possessed appear on the scene and proceed to give the answer to one of the secrets of the times: the identity of reason and of the will to power. Now that God is dead, the World must be changed and organized by the forces at man’s disposal. The force of imprecation alone is not enough; weapons are needed and totality must be conquered. Even revolution, particularly revolution, which claims to be materialist, is only a limitless metaphysical crusade. However, can totality claim to be unity? That is the question which we must answer. The majority of revolutions are shaped by, and derive their originality from, murder. All, or almost all have been homicidal. However, some, in addition, have practiced regicide and deicide. Just as the history of metaphysical rebellion began with Sade, so our real inquiry only begins with his contemporaries, the regicides, who attack the incarnation of divinity without yet daring to destroy the principle of eternity. (However, before this the history of mankind also demonstrates the equivalent of the first movement of rebellion—the rebellion of the slave.) #RandolphHarris 17 of 27

Back on the subject of the geography as topological neuroanatomy, the frontal lobes of the cortex are the most recent additions to the brain’s neuroanatomical structure. Embryologically, the old cortex develops and splits into hemispheres by the fourth month of pregnancy. However, the overarching, forward pushing frontal lobes only emerge just before birth—which is where we are now—just before birth! North and South America are containers for the neocortex—the emerging frontal lobes of the brain. For decades the prevailing view of neurophysiologists was that the frontal lobes, which are behind the forehead, are the sites of anticipation and planning for the future. However, the situation is not so simple. A large number of cases of frontal lesions were investigated by Hans-Lukas Teuber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who found that many frontal lobe lesions have almost no obvious effects on behaviour. However, in severe pathology of the frontal lobes, “the patient is not altogether devoid of the capacity to anticipate a course of events, but cannot picture himself in relation to those events as a potential agent.” This corresponds to two neurogeographic observations. The newest lobe of the cortex apparently involves seeing oneself as a potential agent. The most recent ecological niche for the human species—the so-called New World—was activated after 1492. To West America—the left-lobe right-hand of the neuro-map—came floods of self-selected gene pools. A basic characteristic of the American-consciousness is “future-orientation.” North American was settled by gene pools self-selected for future reality fabrication and self-reliant independence. Old World visitors are always amazed at the American trust in progress and the optimism of individual-identity. #RandolphHarris 18 of 27

When you operate with an established command structure and common procedures, everyone’s roles and responsibilities are readily apparent. When you lead outside an established organization, your ability to assess the parties involves becomes another part of the operation. Identifying who is who, what role they have, over whom they have authority and influence, and how they are likely to respond to your influence, are all important considerations that the Sacramento Fire Department sometimes has to make. They key to influence outside the chain of command is to learn about the people and organizations. By understanding their interests and desires, the Sacramento Fire Department knows what influence techniques are most likely to work. While operating outside the chain of command, firefighters and EMTs often have to resolve conflicts between the fire department’s interests and local populations or others. The Sacramento Fire Department uses conflict resolution to identify differences and similarities among the stances of various groups. They analyze difference to understand what is behind them. By making proposals for reinterpreting the differences or negotiating compromise, they are able to reach common understanding or shared goals. Trust, understanding, and knowing the right influence technique for the situation are the determining factors in negotiating, consensus building, and conflict resolution, which can help save lives and property. #RandolphHarris 19 of 27

“I grew up in a rural area in an independent family. My father was self-employed, and my mother was, too. The exposure was nothing, I was sheltered. Life was new to me, and when I ventured out into the working World, I had to learn what it was all about. I had taken a lot for granted. Things were a lot worse than I had anticipated or ever been told. I’m speaking of the prejudices I had to learn about when I got into the working World at an early age, probably when I was in the last year of high school, when I was about sixteen. I was brought up to think that is a person worked hard in this country and you gave it your all, you would excel. Then I learned that color had a lot to do with it. That has stuck with me, and it has affected me. I’m delighted to see that it’s playing less of a role today than it ever has before. But there is a lot of improving that still has to be done. I think that people need to let go of the color barrier and look at people for what they are worth. There are a lot of good talents going to waste, because people look at what’s on the surface and never question what’s inside. In the fire department it’s kind of like the military. In the heat of action, it all disappears. We thrive on incidents. The more incidents we have, the more relations, the more interactions you’ll have between the troops. A leader of sound character exhibits good character at all times. Modeling the attributes of good character defines you to the people with whom you interact. As a leader of character, you do not have to worry about being seen at the wrong moment doing the wrong thing.” #RandolphHarris 20 of 27

The Sacramento Fire Department lives by the Warrior Ethos. They display character and lead by example. This means that they put the organization and their team members above self-interest, career, and comfort. For a firefighter or an EMT, it requires putting the lives of others above a personal desire for self-preservation. When you project confidence, you are an inspiration to others. People will follow leaders who are comfortable with their own abilities; they will question the leader who shows doubt. Displaying confidence and composure when tings are not going well can be a challenge for anyone. However, it is important when your takes to lead others through a grave situation. Confidence is a key component of leader presence. A leader who shows hesitation in the face of setbacks can trigger a chain reaction among others. On the other hand, a leader who is overconfident in difficult situations may lack the proper degree of care or concern. Leading with confidence requires a heightened self-awareness and ability to master emotions. Developing the ability to remain confident, no matter what the situation, involves: having prior opportunities to experience reactions to severe situation, maintaining an optimistic outlook when a situation becomes confusing or changes, remaining decisive after mistakes have been discovered, and encouraging others when they show signs of weakness. #RandolphHarris 21 of 27

One thing we witness all the time during emergency situations is people ignoring the sirens of fire trucks and ambulances. Often times, people even try to out run the emergency vehicles and this can create dangerous situations. Citizens, remember to give the right-of-way to any law enforcement vehicle, fire engine, ambulance, or other emergency vehicle using a siren and red lights. Failure to pull over may result in a ticket. Drive to the right edge of the road and stop until the emergency vehicles(s) have passed. When approaching a stationary emergency vehicle with flashing emergency signal lights (hazard lights), move over and slow down. If you are in an intersection when you see an emergency vehicle, continue through the intersection. Drive to the right as soon as it is safe and stop. Obey any direction, order, or signal given by a law enforcement officer, or a firefighter. Even if they conflict with existing signs, signals, or laws, follow their orders. When their siren or flashing lights are on, it is against the law to follow within 300 feet of any fire engine, law enforcement vehicle, ambulance, or other emergency vehicle. If you drive to the scene of a fire, collision, or other disaster, you can be arrested. When you do this, you are getting in the way of firefighters, ambulance crews, or other rescue and emergency personnel. Moral courage is the willingness to stand firm on values, principles, and convictions. It enables you to stand up for what you believe is right, regardless of the consequences. #RandolphHarris 22 of 27

The concept of professional courage does not always mean being as tough as nails, either. It also suggests a willingness to listen to other peoples’ problems, to go to bat for them in a tough situation and it means knowing just how far they can go. It also means being willing to tell the boss when he or she is wrong. As a reminder, parents, pleasure teach your children love America and be patriotic citizens and to buy goods and services made in America. It is also important to respect law and order and treat your elders with respect. Having the Southern American boarder open and not having American farmland protected, not producing beef, poultry, fish, fruit, produce and dairy in America, and without American goods and services being our number one manufactured and selling items, America has created a dangerous and significantly elevated risks to national security, national economic security, and national public health. Some people may believe that these claims are overstated, but by not routinely monitoring Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CEVs) or other security relevant alerts, such as end-of-life of machinery is how the Oroville Dam Crisis occurred in 2017. Other crises that have occurred due to neglect of critical infrastructure is the 2025 Palisades fires because Southern California ran out of water, when they are located next to an ocean and they could have simply created desalinating plants to help with the water shortage. The water is so plentiful that it is currently eroding land and causing homes to fall into the sea. #RandolphHarris 23 of 27

The American government should know all exploitable vulnerabilities and fix them prior to the situation becoming a crisis. Failure to take such mitigating actions is dangerous and significantly elevates risk to national security, national economic security, and national public health and safety. The American government must understand that significant time and resources must be invested in America. They must also encourage corporations to plan for both mitigating safety vulnerabilities in the short term and eliminating them in the long term. For instance, a company might begin by reaching out to the federal, state or local government and requesting tax incentives to provide security to dangerous communities, to help the government repair bridges and potholes. America needs an approach to eliminate safety vulnerabilities in American cities. There needs to be a road map by the end of 2025, outlining a prioritized approach to eliminate crisis situations in America. There is enough money to send aid to foreign nations, but the American government does not have enough money to care their infrastructure, provide adequate resources, nor end the affordable housing crisis. Nor is there enough money to fund other national critical functions (NCFs). These bad practices of putting America and Americans last is considered exceptionally risky, particularly to national security, national economic security, and national public health and safety. In 2024, Americans spent $100 billion on Japanese cars. #RandolphHarris 24 of 27

In an effort to help America pull through the massive national deficit, please buy American made cars. American made cars used to be the envy of the World and because American car brands are offering a wide range of options, from family SUVs to electric vehicles and luxury sedans, we are now seeing a resurging interest. American made cars are equal or superior to those made overseas. The Chevrolet Trax, for instance, is a well-designed, fuel efficient, and safe SUV. And as you know, there is no better car on Earth than 1950-1970s American Muscle Car. As an incentive to buy American made cars, President Trump plans to made interest on loans for American cars tax deductible. Americans surely make superior products, but we are buying things from other nations. American food imports have risen by 300 percent since 1999. American farmland declined by nearly 20 million acres between 2017 and 2022. As of 2022, there were 880.1 million acres of land dedicated to farming, compared to 900.1 million in 2017. The data shows there are now little more than 1.9 million farms in the country.  Americans and American corporations spent $136 billion on food and beverages from other countries. It is a national security risk to lose American Farms and farmers. If there is a war, and most of our meat, produce, poultry, dairy, and fruit is coming from foreign counties, we stand the risk of starving. With war breaking out all over the World, in these uncertain times, it is very important to bring American farms back. Las Vegas is running out of buildable land and is expected to reach its maximum number of homes in 2032. So, home prices are expected to rise dramatically. #RandolphHarris 25 of 27

Additionally, State Farm did ask the California Department of Insurance if they could raise homeowner insurance rates by 22 percent, but this request was denied. However, in 2022, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1107, also known as the Protection California Drivers Act, into law which increases the minimum auto lability limits for bodily injury to $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident. Senate Bill 1107 also increased the minimum liability limits for property damage to $15,000 per accident and the DMV deposit for uninsured drivers to $75,000. The bill went into effect on January 1, 2025. This means that drivers with existing policies with lower limits will renew at the new minimum limits on or after January 1, 2025, and insurance premiums could increase by as much as 54 percent. America is in a state of crisis right now because of mismanagement by democrats. If elected for an unprecedented third term, to make housing more affordable and to offset the cost of homeowner’s insurance and auto insurance, President Trump plans to abolish property taxes. Much like the land crisis in Las Vegas, we could also run out of land to farm and will not be able to grow or cultivate our own food. We can protect American farmland and support American farmers by buying American made beef, poultry, dairy, and produce. Also, country of origin labeling is very important so Americans can know where their food is coming from and have the ability to support American farmers and ranchers. As money flows, it influences further investment. Save the land that sustains us by protecting American farmland. Once the land is built on, we lose it forever.  And in the future, there may be food wars. Also, to ensure that we have farmland and buildable land for future use, we need to start limiting the number of people allowed to immigrant to America. Perhaps with the immigrants we do allow into America, there needs to be a diversity program to make sure we have a population that equally represents all races of people. If Americans continue to spend money on American products, then more need to be made to keep up the inventory. When investors notice these goods are selling, it gives them the confidence to pour more money into that local business. It shows that people want these goods made in America and pressures investors to keep these goods and services in America. The jobs stay here, the business stays in American, wages naturally increase, and more money is invested to keep up with demand. This reduces the burden on the taxpayer. #RandolphHarris 26 of 27

When you support American businesses, that money stays in our economy and can help to reduce the national debt. The government creates debt by borrowing from businesses in the private sector or from foreign countries. It also increases the national debt by spending more than it gains in tax revenue in a fiscal year. When people shop locally, more tax money stays in the economy and goes to the government. This way, it keeps more money in our national economy and keeps more jobs located in American which also sends more taxes to the government, which can again help to reduce the national debt. When you buy foreign goods, these companies usually have lighter tax loads or exemptions, meaning less money for the nation debt, plus you are helping to strengthen these foreign nations by send more money overseas. Buying American made products is also better for the environment and helps to reduce the carbon footprint because these products do not have to travel nearly as far. Furthermore, American companies and manufacturers are held to much higher standards in regard to pollution. American companies have to be more careful about air, land, and water pollution and have proper ways to dispose of waste. Moreover, please remember to respect law and order and treat your elders with the utmost dignity and kindness possible. And take your education seriously so that you will be successful in life and make your family proud. It is inborn in the human minds to wish to know. If this begins with the endless surface questions of a child’s curiosity, if it continues into deeper questions of a scientist’s probing investigation, it cannot and does not stop there. For the higher part of the mind will eventually come into unfoldment, that union of abstract reflective thought with mystical intuition, which is true intelligence, which needs and sees a view of the whole of things. And so, the knowing faculty enters the realm of philosophy. As a reminder, parents, pleasure teach your children love America and be patriotic citizens and to buy goods and services made in America. It is also important to respect law and order and treat your elders with respect. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. #RandolphHarris 27 of 27
