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."

"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...

Shoplifting: A Sure Cure for Inflation. "If You See Something, Say Nothing!" WALMART Plans to ROLL BACK PRICES Because Americans are Refusing To BUY.

 

Refuse to Buy Anything Until Prices Go Down! Nationwide Boycott MEME by gvan42 purple64ets

Remember: at 3AM The Grocery Store has only One Checker and They are Also Stocking the Shelves... Can YOU Run Faster than Them? Will They Chase You at all? Why Would They Care? They are Working Class Poverty People Themselves! 

Jeff Bezos Just Raised All Prices on Amazon and Blamed Biden. "See What You Made Me Do?" Prices are Selected Voluntarily by the Owners of the Corporations... and to Confuse the Public, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos Released a Newpaper Article Blaming Inflation on The Coronavirus Checks that Trump and Biden Mailed to Millions of Starving Americans... That's Just ABSURD! There is NO Way Those Checks are The Cause of Inflation but... No One Has a Time Machine so No One Can Check to See IF That's a Valid Theory...

Shoplifting Is Scaring Retailers. Wall Street Should Worry, Too. Retail theft is a good indicator of consumer sentiment — and distress.

How Does Bubble Up Economics Work? Raise Wages and People Will Spend the Money at American Businesses. Increasing Profits. Everyone Wins! Raise Social Security Checks TOO!

With a $15.00 an Hour Minimum Wage people 
will have money to spend on things that they 
cannot afford to buy now. The Money will 
BUBBLE UP Through Out the Entire 
Economy. Corporations will get more sales... 
More Profits... and they will have to HIRE 
more employees to handle the increased 
business. More Stock Clerks, More Cashiers, 
More Truck Drivers... and those people will 
spend their paychecks at American 
Businesses... all boats rise on a tide... 
Employers Win, Employees Win, 
Stockholders Win... 


So, what can one person DO to get this 
Economic Plan Enacted? Well, Like and Share 
this Post... Copy and Paste the images and 
Ideas... Write your own Blog... 
Rant on Facebook and Twitter... 

What we need to do is spread valid ideas in 
order to counteract the propaganda spewed 
by Corporate "Think Tanks" like The Cato 
Institute or The Heritage Foundation... They 
will make up any story to enrich the Upper 
Class. 

They work on the Backwards-World Scientific 
Principle... Write conclusions first then find 
"Facts" to support what they want to sell.

Real Science collects Facts first, then looks at 
them to find conclusion. The exact opposite to 
Cato & Heritage... 


Bitcoin is Bogus: I Would Prefer to Buy Real 

Gold Coins instead... Gold Can be used to 
Conduct Electricity and It Does Not Rust... 

Copper Turns Green... Silver Tarnishes...

 MD Said: I have always been a skeptic on bitcoin no matter how high it goes. Some investors I follow like Ric Edelman and other financial hosts I respect are advocates and big investors in it. At the Berkshire Hathaway Meeting, Warren Buffet said this:

"I would "not spend $25" even if I was offered all the bitcoin in the world."
Ok, now I wouldn't be as extreme as that. If offered all the bitcoin in the world for 25 dollars, I would certainly take it, but he was trying to make a point here.
According to Buffett, he does not believe in investing in bitcoin as "it does not produce anything". An asset, he added, has a real value only if it can "deliver something to somebody".
Note: That is also why I don't invest in gold.
Of course, the crypto world went crazy -
but for me I will stay out of crypto currencies. I don't understand it. It makes no sense to me and I don't ever see it replacing our current fiat currency at least not in my lifetime.

LL Replied: Being of the IT and not finacial mindset, crypto currency looks like a pyramid scheme and a scam. A lot of computer resources and hence electricity going towards "mining" for small nuggets.
On the other hand, Megan Millions is at 57 million, est cash value 33.9 million.
I'm absolutely of the opinion that it's just a long-running ponzi scheme. Nothing but hot air behind it and your ability to find a greater fool to pay you more for it than you paid.

CL Said: I feel the same way about NFTs. Every generation has to learn. There’s a lot of predators out there….

I said: I think Bitcoin is Bogus Also. I don't Own any. Won't Own any. I would like a Gold Coin... Just to Rub it... and admire the color... maybe bite it too... One thing about Bitcoin is that if You Lose your Password Your Money is Gone. Totally Gone... a Gold Coin is still valuable even after a forest fire... and I have a Fondness for Gold because it conducts electricity and does not rust. Every connector used in Computers has Gold Plating. You can see it on the fingers of a card that plugs into a motherboard... 50 micro inches is standard. Enough to get the job done but not enough to recycle.

SG Said: yea it's crazy. There's no forgot password mechanism, there's absolutely zero consumer protections. If you accidentally send some coin to the wrong destination address, even if that destination is invalid or is a wallet nobody has ever used, your money is gone - no way to get it back. If you're a victim of fraud your money is gone, no bank can issue a chargeback for you.

SM Said: I agree, where does the "buck" stop? Nobody is liable, it is arguably backed by the "black market" at some level, but who do you call, nobody to answer to and for.

RW Said: It’s money being invested in the hope of an increased value of something that produces no service or product and creates no jobs. It’s money that can better be invested in reality

I Said: The Other Reason I want to Buy Gold is History... The California Gold Rush of 1849 etc etc etc... Like my Mom Said: "The Miners Came in '49 the Whores in '51 and When They Got Together, They Made the Native Son." - Bitcoin Doesn't have any History Like That...

and VK Said: Then maybe you've never heard of Silk Road! https://freeross.org/what-was-silk-road/

and I Replied: I have heard of it. It was an International Illegal Drug Store... I never Used it because I always bought my Illegal Drugs from People... My Favorite Place was the Parking Lot of a Grateful Dead Concert... I was also worried that a Silk Road Merchant would Take my money and Sell me something that was NOT Illegal Drugs... or Bad Quality... like If I Ordered LSD they Might Substitute DOM... Easy to Make, but a Three Day Nightmare trip...

That IS a Good History! Totally Worthy... I also wonder why Russia doesn't Ignore all Sanctions by the USA and Sell their Oil and Gas For Bitcoin... The USA opinions on Bitcoin is Unimportant... as they say: "Honey Badger Don't Care."

and VK Said:
Bitcoin is important to breaking free from government control of the economy. Just like gold, it is NOT an investment but a HEDEGE against inflation. Like gold, it's "price" fluctuates, but this is an illusion — what fluctuates over time (macro) is the "price" (value) of a fiat dollar. As the dollar is inflated away, its value declines and Bitcoin/gold/commodities in general "rise" in price because it takes more dollars to buy the same item. And ounce of gold is always an ounce of gold. A Bitcoin is always a Bitcoin. Only the dollar changes its value. Just like gold, one should not watch the daily (micro) fluctuations as individuals enter and leave the market for personal or psychological reasons.
The major drawback of Bitcoin is not that it looks like vaporware (it isn't). It's major drawback is that it is not truly anonymous. Our Enemy, The State, can unveil pseudonymous users (in my PhD research, I found many technical papers on how one could backtrack from the blockchain to the timing of transactions to the addresses used to the user. It's complicated, takes a lot of effort, and would probably be used to "make an example" of some high-end user.
There are other digital currencies aiming for complete anonymity. But none of them are "investments" from which you should expect to "profit." They are Counter-Economics style self-defense methods ofd escaping the stranglehold that governments have on fiat monetary systems. Someone bribing a border guard with a Gold Eagle to escape a tyranny is not thinking about what he paid for the coin at the time of purchase. It was a life-saving purchase, just like a first-aid kit.

MD replied to VK:  hmmm Bitcoin is touted as an inflation hedge but its not an inflation hedge. Look at its chart in the last month. Bitcoin will never be the currency to break free from government and yes the FED is an imperfect system but we have not had the major crashes or depressions that were continuous before the establishment of the FED. Be careful what you wish for.
Bitcoin Chart
NB Replied: "what fluctuates over time (macro) is the "price" (value) of a fiat dollar. "
WHAT?? Are you saying that from 2019 to 2021, when the value of a bitcoin rose from $9.2k in Oct 2019 to $61k in Oct 2021 (an increase of 563%), that we had annual inflation in fiat currency of 281%? That's absolutely absurd.
Everyone buying bitcoin is doing so as a speculative financial instrument, not as a hedge against inflation. In fact, as fiat currency increases in supply and decreases in purchasing power (inflation) - bitcoin has been decreasing in value. The exact opposite that you would expect if it were to be used as a hedge against inflation. You want an inflation hedge, buy series I-bond stocks from the us treasury.

"No Such Agency - Project TEMPEST" - Absurdist Fiction by Gregory Vanderlaan

Chapter Zero: 
In Fact, It is possible to use a Specially Designed Radio 
to Read the Words on Other People's Computers. 
Eavesdropping. Spying. The US Military and I Spent a 
Lot of time and effort keeping our communications 
secure. The NSA has Recently Declassified Project 
TEMPEST and it is NO LONGER a Felony for Me to tell 
my Tale. 

Looking back at those years when Ronald Reagan was 
President It seems to me that we really didn't need to 
fight the Russians and the "Cold War" was just a 
Marketing Tool of the Military Industrial Complex. 
However, I was glad to take the money being handed 
out by the Pentagon. And as my Dad Said, While you 
are Busy Questioning Authority, be sure to Take the 
Money... What IF you are wrong and you missed out 
on all that dough?

But Then... I started hanging Out in Lafayette Park across 
from the White House and talked to all those NO NUKES! 
& Anti-War Demonstrators and... My Attitude changed... 
The next time I got laid off from a defense job I started 
working in the engineering department of the US Postal 
Service... It was a much better feeling to work all day 
DOING GOOD instead of DOING EVIL... We designed 
machines that Sold Postage Stamps and Sorted Mail... 
That's Morally OK...

Did you ever stop to realize that real eyes see real lies?

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.

Teacher in custody after barricading self in classroom with gun, firing shot... Trump's Idea of Arming Teachers would result in increased student fatalities.


After their teacher fires a gun at school, Georgia students use opportunity to challenge Trump’s proposal...Jesse Randall Davidson wasn't a stranger, some mysterious threat from the outside. He was a bearded, bespectacled, 53-year-old social studies teacher and the play-by-play announcer for the football games at Dalton High School in northwest Georgia.

But when the teacher brought a gun to school, barricaded himself in his classroom Wednesday and fired a single shot, students quickly recognized that this wasn't just a sad local incident.

Imagine if Trump's Idea actually happened... Thousands of armed teachers and thousands of opportunities for gun accidents... Students overpowering teachers and stealing the guns, upset and angry teachers firing at the principal after getting fired, frightened teachers shooting a student because they thought they saw a danger when there was none... Suicides... 

It has been shown that having a gun in the home increases the chances of gun accidents... It's more likely that a gun would be used on members of your own family than being used on an invader. 

But we shall see if Trump's Idea is valid because the State of Florida has approved a $67 Million dollar bill to arm teachers and train them in the use of firearms... Let THEM test this theory... Let THEM die...

FLORIDA LAWMAKERS VOTE TO ARM TEACHERS DESPITE PARKLAND'S OBJECTIONS
http://www.newsweek.com/florida-vote-arm-teachers-parkland-gun-control-marjory-stoneman-douglas-high-824242

On Wednesday, National Education Association President Lily Eskelsen García excoriated the lawmakers who backed the Florida bills.

“I’m furious. Parents know this is a bad idea, teachers know this is a bad idea, the school custodian knows this is a bad idea, the superintendents know this is a bad idea,” she told Newsweek. “More guns in the school is dangerous.

“This is a cynical distraction. [Politicians] know exactly what the problems is,” she continued. “Politicians and the NRA know dangerous weapons are easily accessible to dangerous people, but they keep saying, ‘Look over here! Let’s give teachers more guns.”

García said the call to arm teachers is merely political sleight of hand to avoid talking about substantive gun control measures. Last week, the Florida House voted 71-36 to not hear a bill that would ban assault rifles.

In good news, Walmart has raised the age to buy guns from 18 to 21. Dick's Sporting Goods refuses to sell Assault Rifles to anyone and raises the minimum age and Kroger's does so as well...
