Give It Away, Give It Away, Give It Away Now...

Christianity is kinda common sense. You want peace? Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Got two homes? Divest yourself until the responsible workers amongst you also have access to affordable shelter. Don't profit off scarcity for the people who provide for you. Good harvest season? Be honest with the farmworkers who toil in the fields for the farmers. Share with the newcomers and teach them your ways so they might find success in new lands too, and not have to resort to anonymous thievery of other workers to survive... 

There is enough for everyone to be served -- the parable of the loaves and fishes -- some of you just have too much and it is killing you and weakening your children who benefit not from the fruits of their own labor.

The founding fathers included many Deists, but something ... more pushed the people who came to new lands and survived, including not only the founding fathers, but the mothers, the slaves, the immigrants, the refugees...

I'm a rather worldly woman, in an American sense, but I think my more sheltered brothers and sisters know this truth too:  the team works best when needs are met, and distributions not equal but fairly parceled out not by sophistry.  Capitalism is a system, think a box of tools, more than it is a religion.

For good and bad, for better and worse, Americans will be called upon in the days to come to decide who we are as a people.  Do you have enough yet?  Are you one of the wealthy stockholders with multiple homes who doesn't yet understand that resources here are already strained, while calling for more and more  newcomers to be packed into the economic ghettos?  What will you sacrifice for your noble impulses?  I've seen very little in the past 20 years from our loudest American cheerleaders myself.  

We know not the time, nor the hour, none of us.  And the rich fool is as mortal as the starving beggars and thieves, and child killers too, who already populate our American streets.  Maybe they'll sweep through your neighborhood some night -- locks are a good first investment, but charity begins at home.

Home prices hit new record highs...

Sticker shock...

ADDED:  Sometimes the "hardest" Court rulings are the most legally legit, and contain the most common sense, in a true compassionate justice ruling.

Supreme Court Allows Revival of Trump-Era ‘Remain in Mexico’ Asylum Policy

The court’s unsigned order refused to stay a ruling from a federal judge in Texas forbidding the Biden administration from ending the policy.

I have a feeling that one day soon too, the young female members of the Afghani girls' robotics teams might have second thoughts about being "rescued" away from their families, brothers, and homeland to achieve robotic excellence in the new Western world.  Sometimes cultural change is slower, and families have to advance together for the best long-term survival, which can take generations.  The idea of "pulling" dozens of other in behind you to "safety" is a uniquely American, and artificial, invention in decades of late...

Common sense and justice.  Hard rulings make the most sense to true legal scholars who urge American citizens to invest their compassion and charity in private organizations, not foisting that upon national or local governments, who have other roles in society to play than world's policeman, domestic arbitrator, or redistribution specialists.
