What is a Sustainable Economy?

A perpetual sustainable economy is an important part of rejuvenating the U.S. to a system that continues to get stronger year after year. Much has changed over the past 30-40 years and we see that our system has lost some of its economic power and abilities. To return to an upward trajectory we have to think about what it means to be a sustainable economy that continue to grow. A few thoughts below are included for mental digestion.

-Produces Sufficient Tax Revenue: Produces enough tax revenue to pay for large scale improvements, governance, encouraging of work skills, public services and general improvement in the environment. Tax revenue should be able to cover expenditures.

-Investment: Draws enough investment to maintain the area and continue to improve it. That doesn't mean each area must grow but that each area should have enough capital influx to develop and maintain itself.

-Social/Economic Justice: A system of governance that is fair, an economic model that encourages the highest levels of economic activity from all stratus of society, and a general believe that everyone is part of the same community. Each person should be treated fairly under the system and given equal consideration.

-Education, Open Mindedness, and Innovation: Has access to higher education institutions that produce skilled innovative workers, a culture that is open to new ideas and converts them into working philosophies, as well as innovative mindsets that ensure the system develops and rejuvenates.

-Infrastructure: Solid infrastructure that allows the transference of information, resources, product facilities, shipping, and a high quality of life.

-Brand: A city brand that is attracts skilled workers and comes to represent the products produced in the area. Collaborative efforts between government and business is helpful.

-Resources: Cities will need access to certain resources that are not far removed from the products they produce.

-Technology: Continuously takes new technology and integrates into its system. While this seems similar to innovation there are some markets that don't have access to the technological abilities of others.

The Meaning of A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost

A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost He halted in the wind, and — what was that Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? He stood there bringing March against his thought, And yet too ready to believe the most. "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said; And truly it was fair enough for flowers had we but in us to assume in march Such white luxuriance of May for ours. We stood a moment so in a strange world, Myself as one his own pretense deceives; And then I said the truth (and we moved on). A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. The poem is one of seasons changing and the cycle of life. Each May the bloom comes out and brings life to the death of winter. The poem is about a single moment when the characters see that life has changed. The layers of meaning can be deep but on the surface it appears Robert Frost is discussing nature and its cyclical momentum.   Everything in nature moves through patterns. The poem indicates that

Art Review: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

The Kiss is Gustav Klimt’s most famous and well known painting. Produced in 1908 in Vienna, Austria and incorporated oil and gold life on the canvas ( 1 ). This was unique for his time and represents both tile works with Asiatic influence. The painting and the romance it brings forward is still wonderment to onlookers. The picture depicts a passionate relationship between a man and woman in a sort of perfect place.  The couple is embracing, bodies entwined, wearing robes of wealth and decadence. It provides linear constructs of the Art Nouveau style and the movement of arts with crafts ( 2 ). The male is square and masculine while the woman painted is in curves to represent femininity. The couple is a pair with the woman and man equal in stature. They are in a field of flowers and appear to rise above it.  To many this painting represents the concept that love has no bounds. Social position or worldly wealth cannot hide what goes on under the fancy clothes and standard m
