UNION YES - Massive Increase in Labor Union Membership Nationwide. Fight Back Against The Super Rich... They Are Destroying Our Country... Blog Post Written by Gregory Vanderlaan - A member of the Retail Clerks Union.

"It's no accident that 71% of Americans have a favorable view of unions - the highest since 1965, while just 36% hold a favorable view of corporations - the lowest since Wall Street crashed the economy in 2008. The American people are sick and tired of corporate greed." - Bernie Sanders

(CNN)Between strikes by nurses, teachers and maybe railroad workers, and new union efforts gaining steam at Starbucks, Amazon, Apple and elsewhere, big labor is having a big moment.

Amazon, Starbucks, and other mega-corporations wouldn’t be deploying massive union-busting campaigns if they weren’t terrified of union power. When workers fight back, they win. Solidarity!

Union YES! memes - please share these Nationwide - gvan42 - member of the Retail Clerks Union

The American public is back in love with 
labor unions, so why aren’t workers?
KEY POINTS:
  • 1. Many top U.S. brands from Apple to Chipotle, 
  • Starbucks and Amazon are facing an increased 
  • effort among front-line and retail employees to unionize.
  • 2. The American public has the workers’ backs, with a 
  • new Gallup poll finding that support for unions has 
  • reached its highest level since 1965.
  • 3. But the Gallup data also shows how difficult it will be to 
  • turn general support into widespread organizing activity, 
  • as the majority of nonunion workers tell Gallup they 
  • have little interest in joining the labor movement.

What's Your Opinion? Food Delivery Comparison: WALMART vs Target, Safeway etc... I Fired Jeff Bezos and Amazon. Email Me At gregvan[at]yahoo[dot]com

Amazon delivers in One Day free shipping if you buy $35 worth of Food. WALMART wants me to Join a Club for $12.95 a Month and I Get Free Shipping in One Day if I Buy $35 Worth of Food. No Thank You WALMART. You Better ROLL BACK Those Prices WAY BACK... WAY WAY BACK... Next I'll Check Out Costco - They want me to become a Member at $120 Per Year... I did that 20 Years ago but found that their BULK Portions were too large a quantity of food for a Two Person Home. But I'm always Grateful for Them Converting FILM Photographs to a Computer Disc. I did that in 2004 with my Rainbow Gathering Photographs... Some of the Best I've Ever Taken. WINCO Does Deliver but the Selection is Limited to 27 Items... None of them are the Right Items... I mostly want Cheese, Crackers, Beef Jerky, dried fruit and RAMEN...

I'm NO LONGER an Amazon Customen... IS THERE A BETTER PLACE TO ORDER DELIVERED FOOD? So Far Raleys Seems the Best Alternative to Amazon...

I'll have to Investigate Trader Joes and Safeway. 

I'm going to see if they deliver groceries... Now that I Fired Jeff Bezos and Amazon I'm looking for someone to ship Cheese and Crackers, Ramen... etc, etc, etc... Maybe Trader Joes... I also need to Check Out Safeway because when I used to Shop there they had an excellent selection of EXPENSIVE Cheeses... Especially the Blue Cheeses... 

I checked out Target: They want a $10 delivery Fee and a $2 Bag Fee... and Somehow I'm going to be Charged Tax... on FOOD? So at the Last Minute I Cancelled my order for Cheese and Crackers... They have a Good Selection of groceries... but they wanted me to authorize substitutions for out of stock items with a similar Item... Likely to be OK but...

I STOPPED shopping at Amazon because Jeff Bezos is Behaving Badly... Raising all prices on Everything... Not Paying his Income Taxes... Publishing his Totally Wrong Opinions Everywhere... I did Cancel my Amazon Prime Subscription. $16.15 a Month Even if I Don't Buy Anything... but Free Shipping if I Do Buy Something... Often It Saved me Money but other times it was NOT Worth It. 

"Amazon's CEO announced Thursday that the company would be raising prices to keep pace with inflation. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the company will begin charging U.S. third-party sellers a 5% upcharge because of higher inflation and fuel costs, a hike expected to trickle down to consumers."

https://southernmarylandchronicle.com/2022/04/16/amazon-raises-prices-to-keep-up-with-inflation/

"For Musk and Bezos, it was the stimulus to help consumers at the time of the pandemic that caused the inflation. Basically, the responsible culprit for the surge of your recent grocery store receipts is the federal government."

and on a different subject: Biff Rose Tells the Tale of His Visit to Charles Manson In Prison...

Gregory Laan
I did not know that you visited Charles Manson... Probably an interesting Visit... I did like his TV SHOW "Charlie's Angels" - That was a Biography of the Manson Family but the Studio "Flipped the Script" in order to Get More Viewers..

Biff: Charlie's Angels..ha ha funny joke..I was going with Valerie the Queen of the MONKEES to see her ex when this bald headed girl with a X carved in her third eye came up to me "Biff it's ME..GYPSY.....
"Gypsy?" ( everyone was named Gypsy then.,,,,.it was the early seventies.)... "Cathy...Cathy Share...I was at your house...I'm in the FAMILY now..... you oughta go meet Charlie..he'd LOVE to meet you..he's the Son of Man you know get it? MAN...SON.."
"Oh yeah right...I remember you, Kathy..you were at my house the week Such a Holiday by the BeeGees was number one..."
Every week there was a new NUMBER ONE HIT...Winchester Cathedral...Mrs Brown you've got a lovely daughter....such a day for a day dream...
So Valerie Queen of the Monkees went to see her ex and I went thru this maze of elevators and small windows opening on hge steel doors and finally there we were face to face behond a glass drakly cuz the Prosecutor had said "Don't look him in the eyes..."
But I figured HE'S the one in jail......we "My brothered" each other cuz I tild him about my new album Uncle Jesus and AUNTIE Christ...and he said
"You know my brother if you wanna take your pants off in the street and somebody says you CAN'T....then what they say is evil..and BANG BANK...." he mock shot two people with his hand shaped like a pistol...
I thot "No my brother...I think somehow we have to INCORPOORATE evil in......our." and caught myself arguing with this murderer and soon we parted but as I walked away there was this vast feeling of great peace came over me.....bt it took a strange form...as tho....Manson's a shark....300 million years of evolution and still abrain the size of a pee..dolphins are so much more to my liking..but these words slowly formed in my pre-neo-hip hop-notized brain...ya know,Biff..you don't have a habit of killing people....you have a habit of NOT killing people and you know how hard it is to break habits..."
Valerie Queen of the Monkees was waiting for me outside the courthouse.....Valerie was Lithuanina and had taught e how to say "It's been a long time since I've seen you..."
"Osh ten eye sah vay neh mah chow.."
Squeaky Fromme came up to where she and the "Family" were camped in a van out by the curb..holding a constant vigil for their hero.....weaving a jacket out of human hair I think...".
She looked me in the eyes searchingly.."Biff do you REALLY understand the needs of women?"
I looked at Valerie beside me to my right and turned back to Squeaky and said bluntly, defiantly...defensively
"Osh te eye sah vay neh mah chow"
because I didn't wanna risk giving the wrong answer to a member of the Manson family.....but I would NOT allow Squeaky to come between what was between me and my Queen of the Monkees....the heteroAURAL bond that twined us....

and I Replied: Well... Thanks for the Story... amazing those times... I had a girlfriend that was Hitchiking in LA and got picked up by members of the Manson Family... and they asked her to Join... but she declined... close call!

Biff Said: yeah..in the earliest of the early days in Laurel Canyon Neil Young was a fan of charlie manson's music....

and I Replied: and It's Quite possible that they were Great Songs! More than One Great Artist, Author or Singer/Songwrighter has been a Freak! This song was Covered by Guns and Roses... In My Opinion it's Not a Great Song... Kinda Standard for That Time...

I Said: My wife and I Planned to go to a Speech by Marshall Applewhite, founder of the Heaven's Gate Cult... But the City of San Jose Cancelled the Event at the Very Last Minute because many People Vanished at the Portland Event the Week Before... I guess they Joined and Didn't go home... and concerned people called the police to report missing persons... and when there were so many... they Police Called San Jose... to give 'em a Heads Up about the Danger...
It was a Free Talk about UFOs... Sure, That Sounds interesting...

Americans Refuse to Buy Until Prices Go Down. The Corporate "Inflation" Strategy is FAILING. Expect to see more bright-red "Rollback" signs at Walmart stores as inflation bites, the company said Thursday. and Target...

The Plan was to Keep On Raising Prices and Reap Amazing Profits... Why Not? Everybody's Got a Job and Those New Paychecks Ought to Allow People to Buy Buy Buy Like Crazy!

Target (TGT) reported first-quarter earnings that came in well below Wall Street estimates, a day after archrival Walmart (WMT) also came in well shy of EPS targets. Target stock plunged Wednesday. WMT stock, which tumbled Tuesday, fell further.

Consumers Refuse to Consume meme by gvan42 purple64ets

Amazon raises prices on Everything. 

Musk and Bezos Agree on Who Is Responsible for Inflation... Trump and Biden. 

It was the stimulus to help consumers at the time of the pandemic that caused the inflation. Basically, the responsible culprit for the surge of your recent grocery store receipts is the federal government.

A Convenient Excuse for Amazon Raising Prices on Everything. Mainly Because We Do Not Have a Time Machine and We Cannot Check to See IF their Statement is Correct... Jeff Says: "I Voluntarily Raised Prices but It's NOT MY FAULT... and I'm Making Even More Money Than Ever Before!"

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Simple Solution: Inflation is a Voluntary Choice by Corporate CEOs. They Select to Raise Prices. Let's Make Them an Offer they Cannot Refuse.

I've started Drinking Green Tea. Supposedly it helps with Thinking & Dementia... I DID Have one Brilliant Idea while on Green Tea. I Decided to Actually Read the Instructions for Keyword Tagging on my Zazzle Webstore... I've been there 15 years and never once read the Instructions... and... I've been doing it wrong the entire time... Since Keyword Tagging is the MAIN Way Customers Find my Gear... I'm really Glad I Read Those Instructions!

The Green Tea itself DOES Give a Slight Caffeine Buzz... and Is especially Good if I also drink Coffee at the Same time... Good For Writing... I Blog every Morning and This will help me Write Even More Insightful Essays... For Example:

I'm Glad William Shatner Didn't Die Today. It Was Entirely Possible that He Would Have a Heart Attack on that Joyride... Or At a Crash Landing in the Desert.

I Was Watching that Launch this Morning and Fell Asleep During One of the Delays... and I Missed it... So I Found A Replay Online and... It Wasn't That Interesting Anyway... The Only Amazing Part Was When The Main Part of the Rocket Landed on a Pad Standing Up.

The Actual Launch Starts at 4 Minutes into this Video... and There are Many Talking Heads Babbling... With Very Little Happening ON THE SCREEN and a Big NBC LOGO Covering the Entire Bottom of the Screen Blocking the View... It's all Over at 15 Minutes... Except for some Hugging of Everybody by Jeff Bezos at 25 Minutes... and Some Excited Talk by William Shatner... 

Here is a Better Video by CNN:

Alien Socket Wrench (Fiction) by gvan42


It all started when I found this artifact in my backyard. I guess that an alien spaceship had landed there and was doing some repairs. When they left, they forgot this wrench.

Alien Socket Wrench by gvan42

I showed it to my neighbors and they said that they had never seen anything like that before. They recommended that I take it to the poLICE, but I'm not THAT dumb...Soon I was visited by some men in grey suits and black shiny shoes and was kidnapped... Just coincidence? I don't think so!
The grey suited men took me to a small windowless room. They asked me if I wanted to help them fight the Aliens that had left the socket wrench in my backyard... One said "Have you actually seen what visited you?" and he turned on a television...
OH NO, I cried... These aliens are just too goofy to look at... I'm so glad that you grey suited representatives of an unnamed government agency spirited me away to this windowless room... I'll cooperate fully... Please, please, please DON'T make me look at those goofy Escherian aliens anymore... (editors note: at this point our hero starts behaving like a total weenie and not at all like a true gentleman... Therefore, the rest of this scene is deleted... That gives us time to RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!)

It was clearly time for me to get some PROFESSIONAL PSYCHIATRIC HELP... Well, I couldn't afford that so I chose to visit my ONLINE "SHRINK IN A BOX"... Those disturbing images of Aliens had put me in a classic state of Paranoid Schizo... It seemed that instead of me watching the Television, the Television was watching ME!...

Get Help Now!


or just continue with the story...
if(space==time){countDownToBlastOff--;}
Eventually, the grey suited men realized that I was just too "LAME" to be of any use to them and they left. I inspected the television set that they had shown me the disgusting pictures of the aliens... and I came to the shocking realization that it was radically different to anything I had ever seen before...

At that moment I realized they had spirited me away to A parallel universe. I remember reading about them in a classic Sci-Fi book called "The Coming Of The Quantum Cats" by Frederik Pohl.

I turned on channel six and saw the president on the news. He said "I get no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues..." Then the picture panned to his wife, she turned to him and said... "Don't get crazy, you know just what to do... Crank that old Victrola, put on your rocking shoes!
UN HUH!" It's Saturday Night!"...

I changed the channel and saw that they were playing an old movie called "FUTUREWORLD" WITH PETER FONDA AND YUL BRENNER...

Yet, It seemed to be like totally different than I remembered... As a matter of fact, ALL the stations were weird... SEE FOR YOURSELF! Try them all, eventually they all lead to FUTUREWORLD2525! When you think about it, this is true in life also... No matter what path you select at the "fork in the road" you end up in the same place... FUTUREWORLD2525!

I saw a TV Show called "9/11 The Towers and The Pentagon" that had a lot of film that I had not seen before. However, there are still no photographs of an AIRPLANE at The Pentagon. Quite mysterious...

Save Richardson Grove Redwood Trees in California. On Highway 101 on the way towards Eureka from San Francisco the road goes thru a stand of old growth Redwoods. The road twists and turns in such a way that it's easy for cars and trucks to drive thru but not Two Trailer trucks. Corporations have been trying to widen the road for decades but tree huggers have prevented the removal of the forest for increased profit. There is another way to get merchandise to Eureka from San Francisco...
Use boats... Both cities have great harbors.

It appears that the Gods are angry at us. Hurricanes, Earthquakes and Forest Fires. I think there is a message... Global Warming is Real and we ought to do something about it. Drive our cars less, exhaust causes air pollution and increases Greenhouse Gasses in the atmosphere. Use less electricity... Power plants often burn coal or natural gas and pollute the air. If it becomes normal to have two Hurricanes every year in the USA a large coastal area will become uninhabitable. From Texas to Florida and up the east coast all the way to New York will become a disaster zone.
Maybe we need Aztec or Mayan Priests to sacrifice a virgin on top of a pyramid. Maybe that would appease the Gods. I read an article in the newspaper that says the best place to survive global warming is Eureka, California. I hate reading such articles because those of us that are already here don't want a bunch of immigrants moving here. It would wreck everything... Too many people cause traffic jams, increase rental prices and cause long lines at the grocery stores. So, don't come here... keep on going North to Oregon! It's great there!

Let's build cities using Disney's original EPCOT Design. Concentric circles connected by monorails.
Work in the center surrounded by home/shopping then parks and farms. That way people would not waste so much time commuting to work. Less money spent on gas for cars, less air pollution, less global warming and fewer hurricanes. For example consider San Jose California. There is a lot of work available at computer companies. However there are not enough homes for the people that work there. Many people commute over an hour from the bedroom communities of Santa Cruz or Tracy. If we moved the jobs closer to where the people live, the workers would be happier since they would not be spending an hour stuck in a traffic jam every morning before work. Also the employees would not be spending so much money on housing and automobile fuel. We could move offices by creating a database of where the employees live and building new work locations near those locations. Under the current system, zoning laws separate factories from homes. That made sense when factories
caused air and water pollution and people did not want to live near that pollution. However, many jobs today are office work where people sit at desks and work on computers all day. No pollution at office jobs. We could have these employers move to the suburbs. Maybe they could use the abandoned shopping malls. Amazon's business model has caused traditional retail businesses to go bankrupt. It is simply more efficient to shop online and have the USPS deliver the products than for the shoppers dive to the shopping mall and buy the products there. I see that Amazon is planning to build a second headquarters where they will be hiring 50,000 people. A better plan would be to create 10 mini headquarters employing 5,000 people each. Each of these mini headquarters could use the EPCOT model. Experimental Planned City of Tomorrow. It's simply better.
