Slow the whole machine down. NA$A = help this planet THEN fly off to another one. Same funding, new name "Natural And Sustainable Americas" Military and it's suppliers save stuff instead of destroying stuff. Food, water and books for all. Salary caps.... billionarism is surprisingly unsustainable. Re heavy security issue: If "they" green-up the people at the helm(s) and add the planet to the flag (and act accordingly) the security requirements will lighten significantly. Anyone,

Feel free to stretch a bit and design some of these ideas in:

Call it the “S” house (for sustainable)
Unplug from grid, etc.
Change flag from 50 stars to one planet.
Slow the whole machine down.
NA$A = help this planet THEN fly off to another one. Same funding, new name “Natural And Sustainable Americas”
Military and it’s suppliers save stuff instead of destroying stuff.
Food, water and books for all.
Salary caps…. billionarism is surprisingly unsustainable.

Re heavy security issue: If “they” green-up the people at the helm(s) and add the planet to the flag (and act accordingly) the security requirements will lighten significantly.
