Cardassian Worldbuilding: Name Days

This is based on a throw away reference from ASIT: "“And Limor Prang will get you started. This is Elim Garak, our newest junior probe,” Tain said to Limor, whose facial expression appeared permanently set to reveal nothing. Tain turned back to me; the smile was gone. “You will no longer live at home. Visits to your family will be limited to holidays and name days. You are never to say anything to anyone about your work other than your designation as a research analyst in the Hall of Records..."

IRL, a name day is a celebration mostly found in European and Latin American countries where you celebrate the day of the year associated with the Saint who bears or is associated with your baptismal name. Some counties celebrate this and birthdays, while others do not. I, like most people, don't think normative Cardassian society is theistic by the time that Garak lives, and that includes the idea of saints that have officially recognized days.

The way I choose to interpret this is simply that Cardassians do not celebrate birthdays. Looking further at ASIT (this topic is not mentioned at all in the show to my recollection), I found this quote. "My name as a child was “Sleg” after the sleg corgan, a huge crawling beast that in certain seasons would barely move at all." The distinction made by calling it a "name as a child" and not a nickname to me implies that the name day is a celebration of the day one receives their "adult" name.

The adult name is picked and formally recognized when a child is around 2 years of age. This time is culturally recognized by Cardassians as when a child has crossed a threshold and is now unlikely to die of illness, and by this time most children no longer need adults to help them maintain body heat at all (in fact for many this need ceases much earlier).

This age is when it's expected a family will start collecting items for the dower and dowry of a child- delayed for the same reason as the delau of naming. These are collected in a chest and filled as the child grows, with the items needed to start a house (dishes, linens, crockery) as well as items primarily of value and decoration (jewelry, art, fabric for clothes). If a parent dies before one or more of their children has had use of their dower/dowry and is past their age of emergence, it's not uncommon for them to be given a small box containing a portion of it that the parent considers particularly important (see Garak's little red box that Tolan gave him). These small boxes are often very decorative.

Prior to receiving an adult name children are usually referred to by a slightly insulting nickname (such as Sleg). This is an old tradition that most Cardassians would not admit is intended to keep evil intent away from the child by referring to them in unappealing terms. It'd still common for a child to be called their child name by their parents even into adulthood as an expression of affection. Adult names have more blatantly positive meanings.

The first name day is celebrated by announcing the name to a gathering of family and friends, and many parents will commission a painter/calligrapher (one usually trains as the other) to paint something relevant to their child's name and write it out. This is displayed similar to a family photo in a common area of the home. This is sometimes also used as a basis to commission a piece of jewelry with the name on it, either as the primary decoration or an engraving. Gifts on subsequent name days may also feature an engraving of the name, now that it is known to others. Even if two people have the same name, the way a calligrapher writes it and the painting they create are unique (by this point personality is fairly familiar to their parents and they may talk about their child's personality to the artist, influencing the final piece).

In addition, it's common for children to bring a small treat for their school mates on the school day closest to their name day, and similar goes for workplaces. The celebrant gets their own sweets and gifts at their celebration. Depending on the families social status, the family may provide food at the celebration as well as the treat the child shares, while others provide something at the celebration but expect guests to bring dishes as well in a potluck style celebration.

Name days are celebrated every other dleiha (a period of time lasting 130 days, so name days are every 260 days). Dleiha are named after a constellation, and if one is named after one as well (which is not uncommon) they often will have an especially elaborate name day celebration during the corresponding dleiha.

Today’s question is “Has the Fed’s raising of interest rates resulted in ANY consumer seeing ANY reduction in Inflation?”

Of course not.

In classic Capitalist Economics (dead since 1913) increasing Supply and or Decreasing Demand affects inflation.

We the 90% just can’t reduce our Demand for essential items like food, shelter, transportation, heating and luxuries like insulin.

But Supply doesn’t INCREASE

When Landlords pull 18,000,000 residences from the market

Inflation skyrockets with high interest for a loan for a vehicle - essential where there is little or no Publicly provided commuting option.

The credit card borrowing costs for the I-Phone which is critical to holding a job skyrockets under the Feds policies.

Just icing on the real Inflationary cake:

Manipulating the Fed to make it nearly impossible for bridge loans to be obtained by small landlords, small manufacturers, small retail outlets.

These businesses create jobs.

Big Monopolistic Hegemonies forcing small competitors to sell out or go bankrupt.

The favored option of collapsing the stock market by starting a selling stamped was so disastrous in 2008 that I don’t think they dare repeat.

No small business or new businesses and the Rich are confident that the Great Resignation will end

They intend to use Stagflation to force us into neo-slavery.

You probably don’t remember…

Since 2002 the GOP and the Fed has printed Monopoly money then delaued the inevitable Weimar Inflation by putting about $22,000,000,000,000 in the Stock Market.

$6 Trillion in Bush/Cheney tax cuts,

$8 Trillion in the ‘08 bailout, $

$2 Trillion in Trump/Ryan/McConnell 2017 tax cuts,

$2Trillion the Rich corporations’ 2020 PPP Loans( none repaid), $

$4 Trillion (maybe $6) on loans to the Stock market 2019-2020.

Why would you remember this having been distracted by the political antics that resulted from moving the National Zoo’s Chimpanzee exhibit to in the Congress.

Not like any of this was debated in public or reported in the Corporate -Owned Media.

How can this 💩 be going on?

If the US dollar wasn’t the World’s Reserved Currency this whole Enron-inspired Ponzi Scheme would have collapsed.

Other countries understand that our Economic System is a pile of 💩 and occasionally make noises about maybe the Euro or Asia creating an equivalent to the Euro as a reserve curedd we next.

But there’s a reason why we have 21 of the world’s 22 nuclear aircraft carriers and the world’s only fleet of atomic powered attack submarines.

We WILL remain the World’s Reserve Currency…

Unless Schrödinger’s Economy

The variable is that both here and in China the populace has been pushed - maybe - a little too far.

The Rich Sociopaths running the Systems around the world are hoping it’s 1932 and a Reichstag fire still works.

They have forgotten France in 1787 and Eastern Europe 1989.

May the odds be ever in our favor.
