But the power of naming and branding can be a double-edged sword: when a president creates and perpetuates real human disasters, we can truthfully attach his name to them and allow well-earned disaster branding to spread naturally.<br /><br />Mr. Trump uses the word “disaster” metaphorically for policies and practices he doesn’t like. But there are real, literal disasters in the world: huge fires, devastating, floods, deadly storms, major droughts — disasters caused systemically by the heating of the earth’s atmosphere and its effects in the global weather system."<br /><br />"When sea level rise floods Florida, or when atmospheric heating produces massive evaporation over the Pacific that blows north and east resulting in huge floods throughout the Midwest, name them Trump flood disasters. When continued atmospheric heating systemically leads to massive fires in Texas, name them Trump fire disasters.<br /><br />When the heating of the Gulf of Mexico above historic norms leads to extra strong hurricanes, name them Trump hurricanes and name their effects Trump devastation. When the systemic effects of unusual atmospheric heating lead to a drought, with water shortages and agricultural loss, name it a Trump drought."<br /><br />"All that is necessary is speech — free speech guaranteed by the Constitution. We don’t have to march in protest, or engage in civil disobedience, or do anything the least bit violent. You just have to say the words. There is power in naming."<br /><br />I really, REALLY love this idea. It's free. It's easy. Those on social media can do it in less than a few seconds. I really hope it catches on with the media. <br /><br />Trump wants to take credit for all the stuff he creates. Well, that swings both ways. <br /><br />Can we name every Hurricane this year "Donald"?mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-34630656183330713932017-06-03T12:24:12.237-08:002017-06-03T12:24:12.237-08:00http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/kathleen-rice-...http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/kathleen-rice-letter-office-of-personnel-management_us_5930547fe4b07572bdbfd025?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009<br /><br />"A major government agency refused to answer a Democratic legislator’s routine inquiry unless she got a Republican to co-sign her request, the congresswoman told HuffPost.<br /><br />Rep. Kathleen Rice (N.Y.) said she faced an unprecedented barrier when she asked the Office of Personnel Management about its training process and suggested changes that would help the agency recruit more cybersecurity workers. Janel Fitzhugh, OPM’s legislative director, told Rice’s legislative aide that she needed a Republican committee chairman to co-sign the letter in order to get a response."mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.com
