Wondering Wednesdays, Baby Floors, Chapter 6 section I

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This post is the rough draft of  Chapter 6, section I, for my non-fiction WiP, Baby Floors.  

Putting a floor on poverty so that each and every baby born can have a safe childhood.

( Chapter 6 Introduction was last week):

   (This series began in March, if you have time to read the fuller explanation…)

Once again, by way of disclaimer, the overall goal is now to explain why we need both equ. + justice, & why in 4 phases.  This chapter is part of showing what Phases I-IV could look like as potential roadmap for a fully inclusive society for all of us.  This vision is laid out in the hope that All HumanKind  will eventually have each person’s basic needs  met, without taking anything from anyone, and without violence, intimidation, nor coercion of any kind.

Living in an Eco Village and Living Sustainably

FunWritings

People who want to be closer to nature, growing their own food and living sustainably

Reduce their impact on the planet and live with others who like living comfortably

Life for the people who are living in eco-villages seem to be so relaxing

They leave the hustle and bustle behind because it is so taxing

Building homes in these Eco Villages can cost less it seems

As people help each other a lot, they all make a plan to become a team

Living off the grid and eating organic food is not for everyone

But there are people who retire and think living like this is a good decision

Unmasked Police Officers Remove a Subway Rider After He Confronts Them – The New York Times (Me: Abuse of authority and just plain stupid!)

A New York City police officer grabs a male commuter by his jacket and pushes him through an emergency exit door at a subway station in Manhattan, video posted to social media shows. “You’re being disruptive,” the officer tells him.

The man in the 35-second video clip — which has garnered more than one million views and ushered in a fresh wave of criticism of the police — said in an interview that the confrontation erupted when he asked the officer and his partner to put on masks.

Andrew Gilbert, 27, said he had just gotten off the train on his way to work at around 8:45 a.m. on Tuesday when he approached two officers at the Eighth Street subway station in Manhattan who were not wearing masks and asked them to put them on, in accordance with the rules.

The M.T.A. requires masks to be worn inside subway stations and on trains, and the Police Department requires officers to wear face coverings in public transit settings.

“The male officer sort of started playing dumb with me, saying, like, “I can’t hear what you’re saying through your mask,” Mr. Gilbert said on Wednesday.

The back-and-forth continued for about a minute, Mr. Gilbert said, before the officer shoved him about 80 feet backward and pushed him out of the exit door. “If you’re not going to ride the train, just get out,” Mr. Gilbert said the officer told him.
