CHS

Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability, a document that provides standards for humanitarian and development workers, and is used to measure and improve the quality and effectiveness of the assistance given to people needing the assistance.
When they got the call about whether waterboarding met CHS standards they thought he was kidding.

Then when they asked about what the standards were for how many kids are allowed per cage they got a little alarmed.

Not Too Small To Jail

People who are poor and outcasts in society that are jailed for offenses that are specifically designed to harass, segregate, and disenfranchise them. For example, homeless being arrested for sleeping on a park bench, or vagrancy laws for having no source of income. Or resisting arrest, without resisting, or without charges for the arrest. In some cases trumped charges such as assault on a law enforcement officer are added for those who are not disobeying a law. These charges can be extremely serious and intimidating, even when they have no basis in fact.

When people are protesting they may also be subject to harassment and intimidation, especially when the police are gooning for the 1%.
City Commission Meeting
Speaker one:
There are homeless people in our parks. One was charging his cell phone from a City power pole. And another was drawing with chalk on the sidewalk. This is serious. Pretty soon some charity will be feeding people in the park.
Speaker two:
These homeless offenders were clearly not: "Not Too Small To Jail"

canoeing

I went canoeing with Anne on the Juniper Spring River run in Ocala National Forest, and we had a great time. Many of the people in front of us did not know how to canoe and would go from bank to bank, and then flip their canoes. The alligators love it when the little pink paddlers float right up to them.

consensual rape

There is no such thing as a consensual version of rape. It is a phrase used by a person who has misspoken.
Rape is an illegal act, and not a consensual act. Under some situations, a person can not legally consent to sex, such as when they are under the legal age of consent, passed out, drugged, illegally coerced, threatened, threats to harm others, mentally incompetent, when it involves incest, etc.
Rep. Raychel Proudie: “There is no such thing, no such thing as consensual rape,”

Great Culling of 2020

Great Culling = Great Depression with massive culling of vulnerable industries and businesses and significant amounts of culling of those in the population with existing health problems.

A major international culling event in a capitalist system in 2020 caused by a failure of the capitalist system to be prepared for an epidemic. The Great Culling of 2020 it was activated by a epidemic. In the US in 2018 the White House dismantled the National Security Council’s global health security office it opened the doors as wide as possible for the private market sector to take responsibility for future epidemics and show their stuff.

Most people did not have a stomach for the capitalistic culling process in which businesses and industries that cannot survive and adapt are allowed to fail. These people are especially uncomfortable when those businesses that provide their job fail and go bankrupt. The masses also get queasy about job security in general, losing accumulated wealth, and being able to pay their mortgages or rent, or afford health care insurance when they need it most.
The Great Culling of 2020 is a great test of how a capitalistic system solves market failure. The biggest problem will be when there are demands for government involvement in the private sector, especially when people start dying in mass, industries and commercial businesses start failing and people are left in self quarantine without jobs and income.
Sadly the capitalistic system is never allowed to allow only the survival of the fittest, leaving the rich and powerful with another lost opportunity.

Black Lead Matters

Black Lead Matters was a precursor to the Black Lives Matter and was a largely under reported protest movement focused on the public health crisis. Black Lead Matters was original brought to national attention when local Flint water supply was diverted from the Great Lakes to a highly polluted River. The water crisis in Flint it turns out was a much more common problem of polluted potable water supplies. It later became a low intensity national movement that is still under reported as hundreds of water supplies are revealed to have serious potable water quality problems. The result has been a lot of people got really sick and some died from the lead and other pollutants that were either in the water supply or from the chemicals leached out of the pipes, like lead.
Black Lead Matters was largely a local movement to protect the predominantly black communities from environmental pollution that came to light during the 2016 election system. Sadly the pollution of the public water supply was related to actions by the state government who acted with little concern to the primarily black community from the start. Even worse there was a cover up and continuation of the bad policy till it became a major political issue during a strategic time in the election cycle. Sadly Black Lives Matter is also a protest of police brutality and lack of consideration of black lives by public safety officers or police. However environmental pollution may be just as serious a problem for minority communities as racial profiling.
