Notes from a Dark Theater:

Michael Moore’s

Where To Invade Next

Saw a movie review of Where To Invade Next today. Did not want to hurt the film’s bottom line publishing these photos of my notes too soon. Here’s some of Moore’s stolen ideas….

Also top-rated globally. Least school hours, highest-rated…. maybe level of education, maybe “quality of Education” . Many polylingual students abroad, too.

To restate an important tweet, standards are a place where governments, and participatory democracies especially, share, exchange and grow. {In the Tweet’chives, I termed standards a place for governments to “click” at.}

We used to, anyway — our 18th-c. revolutionary period, coinciding with France’s own, benefited both cultures.

Very interesting part of the film, even though it turns into a Daily Show bit, kinda. Chicken or the egg, I guess….

SUPER interesting part of the film. I never felt comfortable with the trend in union givebacks and diminished people power in the labor market.

That track (labor organizing) is a calling industrialization and the factory created. Its history of activism includes workplace safety and respect between economic roles (read: rich and poor). In modern times, “Labor” has become an outgrowth of specialization, a response and answer for the demands and problems in “productivity”.

All that reform Wall Street wants and Corporate needs - sheeit, SUPER good idea.

The closer from Africa. Tunisia got a fresh constitution (adopted 2014). From the tiny pieces I’ve read (in English; Articles 40–50, approximately) I like how they apply our elastic clause principle. They state their goals and desired living environment, then state they will do the necessary to achieve it. Very strong, certainly translates powerfully into English.

On the film: Recommended. Must-see film.
