1997 (10 years old) Handover of Hong Kong to Chinese Communist Party after USA continuing to grant "most favored nation" status to the PRC despite reports of organ harvesting and Tibetan genocide.
At 4 years old was helping deliveries and taking orders for parent's restaurant in a seedy casino resort town called Atlantic city, Dad & uncle Miguel a Mexican American were the chefs, they bought a pizzeria deli from an Armenian American that bought it from a Italian American, whom all leased from a Japanese American.

Dad handled marketing, cooking, and supply. Mom bused tables took calls, managed finances, and you better believe they had us kids working the register!

We served everything from Philly Cheesesteak Subs to Mu Shu Gai Pan to Early Bird Waffle Breakfast platters to Beef Lo Mein to Lemon Chicken Ceasar Salads. It was a fusion restaurant before the term existed, where I child labored till my parents cut me off as soon as it was legal for me to get a job outside the family

Dune Series by Frank Herbert, it has a lot to teach about leadership and the human condition
Surviving the poor decision making of our elected officials.
Dialogue, I have seen parliaments overseas literally get into fist fights.
No, in fact it is a hindrance. I worked in the bureaucracy in my first assignment as a Naval Ensign and saw how they political animals simply rubber stamp bills from 20 something lobbyist without reading it. They are only good at fundraising and being good stock photos.

In my day job as a merchant sailor we have hours to learn multi-billion dollar operations of vessels that deliver cargo in and out of ports on transoceanic voyages, with the most extreme personalities you will ever hear about in civil society. Parliamentary procedure is about talking to folks to move paper... the level of complexity to be navigated for goal accomplishment is not the same.
Societal Division & Missed Opportunities While A Totalitarian Regime and Global Corporatism Conspire to eliminate individual liberties protected under our constitution.

Our population is literally being poisoned by shady overseas Rx ingredients, and food nutrition being ignored, while our geriatrics on the hill fight over who uses which potty.
I can get things done wherever I am placed. However, for starters we need an Armed Service Committee Chairman and board members of the Infrastructure and Transportation Committee that actually have experience and didn't start congress in their early 20s practically fresh out of school.
I am for Term Limits! I have signed all the PAC petitions for Campaign Finance Reform and Term Limits - DO NOT DONATE TO These clout chasing organizations, they accept your donations, but do not actually give to GRASSROOTS candidates at all!
George Washington, he left office when he could've been a king. Our state is named correctly.
An international District take-out food establishment use to have a community bulletin board that allowed all community to freely post flyers. In 2019-2020, her patrons began getting into fist fights over the competing picks for presidencies in their little shop without seating. Then later her store was vandalized and windows smashed simply because they hosted an open bulletin board... which didn't even reflect the mom and pop business's views.

This division and dehumanization of each other has to stop.
Obviously, but there's also a whole ton of simple bi-partisan solutions that are simply ignored in the discussion covered by big corporate news media.
It would play a central role. My policies are grounded on history and fact that relieving burdens on working Americans improves a nations revenue and outcomes.
