KEEP ABORTION LEGAL. I know a Woman that threw herself out of a speeding car and landed on her belly in order to Cause a Miscarriage... Really... At that time, Abortion was Illegal and She Really Didn't want to have that Baby... 

KEEP ABORTION LEGAL... I know another woman whose boyfriend did not want her to have his baby... so he kicked her in the belly and she miscarried... There ARE better surgical methods... Really...

KEEP ABORTION LEGAL... I remember that a friend of mine drove his girlfriend to Tijuana to get an abortion. Was that "Hospital" the highest quality? It is likely that Actual Doctors in the USA give better Health Care than TJ's Finest. In Olden Days abortions were often performed by random lawbreakers... Not a great system... This is important because BOTCHED abortions can leave the woman sterile. Maybe she doesn't want a baby at age 15 but at age 22 she does.. A Botched abortion removes that option. NO Choice.

How to Whip Inflation Now 2022 [FICTION] Since Raising Prices is a Voluntary Choice by Corporate CEOs... WHAT IF?

[Disclaimer]

"What If We Whipped Inflation by USING ACTUAL WHIPS on the People That are CAUSING The Problem? Maybe They Would "Voluntarily" Choose to Lower Prices? Could Happen!" - Said Silly Billy...

"That's Excellent! You Should Sell That on Your Zazzle Store!" - Advised Susan


"That's a Much Better Use of Your Time Than Writing Eco-Terrorist Ideas and Publishing Them Online. That Last Idea Was a True Horror Show!" - Said Susan Creamcheese

"I Remember..." Said Silly Billy "But It Would Work! As I Said in that Top Secret Email to My Weather Underground Co-Conspirator... "

"The Best Plan Would be for Capitalist Leaders to BEHAVE In a Way That Would Benefit Humanity... For Example: What If The CEO of Chevron Reduced the Price of Gas Instead of Making Insane Profits... How Could that be done? I keep on thinking that KIDNAPPING the CEO and Having him Call his Vice president and tell him reduce prices or the kidnappers will cut off one finger a day until they actually reduce prices... I Figure one the kidnappers actually cut off a couple of fingers and Mailed them to the media... Chevron WOULD REDUCE PRICES!
>
and With enough Media Attention... EXXON and BP would Voluntarily Reduce Prices... BEFORE their CEO Gets Kidnapped..."

Here's an Example of REAL "Human Energy" - Chevron's advertising Campaign is Greenwashing in order to Distract the Public from INSANE CORPORATE PROFITS caused by High Gas Prices...

and Then Susan Said: "What If 'The Men Who Stared at Goats' Movie Really Worked? Could We Use Psychic Energy To Get Stuff Done? WHAT IF Instead of Using Kidnapping and Violins to Modify a CEOs Behavior... We Had a Prayer Circle that Focused our Psychic Energy on His Brain... and Maybe Emailing specific instructions... email the plan of Healing Corporate-Corporate Greed Freaks from their Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome... Those Evil People CAN BE HEALED!"

and Billy Said: "That's a Great Plan... Especially the NOT Going to Prison Part!"

"Let's Build a Social Media Marketing Campaign and... MAKE IT HAPPEN!" Said Susan

"Let's Have Our Rag Tag Tribe CONTACT CHEVRON 
and Tell 'em that Our People will Post a Worldwide "SELL CHEVRON STOCK" recommendation! on Those All Message Boards... 
That Action Can Influence the Stock Price... and It's a Way To Hold Their Stock HOSTAGE Until They Lower Prices at the Gas Pump!" - Said Susan

"Sell Chevron Stock and Buy Carrier or Trane. The Hotter it Gets, The More Air Conditioners People Buy." - said Silly Billy

and This is What She Said in her Email to Chevron Corporate Headquarters: "Please Reduce the Price of Gasoline. I Noticed that When You Raised the Price, Your Profits went Sky High... Basically Stealing Money from Average Americans and Putting it in the Bank Accounts of the Super Rich... That's a Horrible Thing You Did. STOP! No Amount of "Human Energy" TV Ads Will Remove The Bad Taste in My Mouth from Your Corporate Greed... Do You Suffer From Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome?

Dear Gregory Vanderlaan,

Hope you're doing well.

Thanks for sharing your concerns with us.

Many factors figure into the price of a gallon of gasoline. In addition to the higher price of crude oil these days, other factors include the competitive conditions in the marketplace, costs associated with fuel distribution, local, state, and federal taxes, and fixed costs of doing business such as the cost of real estate, buildings, and equipment.

The vast majority of our branded stations across the US are owned by independent businesspeople who make their own decisions about the prices to charge at their stations.

Thank you for again your feedback and allowing us the opportunity to respond to your concerns. 

Sincerely,

Jhun Concepcion

I Noticed That in The Letter From Chevron Corporate, the one factor Missing from their list of Causes for High Gas Prices was... WAR PROFITEERING or CORPORATE GREED... 

Headline: Biden accuses oil companies of ‘war profiteering’ and threatens windfall tax. President pleads with energy firms to invest profits in lowering costs for American consumers...

Headline: Big Oil’s Second-Biggest Profit Haul Poses ‘Awkward’ Problem.
Oil majors’ third-quarter earnings set to top $50 billion. Companies are holding back on new investment as cash piles up...

Headline: Exxon and Chevron Made Record Profits as Gas Price Gouging Hit Californians...


I saw Michael Wirth on a TV Interview Program and The Lame Excuses He Made for High Prices/High Profits Made Me Angry... I Had to Change the Channel... He Kept on Saying it Was Someone Else's Fault... and I Don't Believe That! Wirth serves on the board of directors of Catalyst. He is also chairman of the board of the American Petroleum Institute, and is a member of the National Petroleum Council, the Business Roundtable, the World Economic Forum International Business Council, and the American Society of Corporate Executives. SO... If There Ever Was a Man Responsible For High Gas Prices... Mike's The Man!

Hate Speech Whipping Up FEAR in White People - meme - Kevin Kiley

For all my conservative friends out there, I just want you to know that I'm voting for you in the midterm elections... for you, not your candidates...for YOU.
Here's what and who I'm voting for:
1) If your daughter starts to hemorrhage while pregnant, I'm voting so that her doctor can perform an abortion to save her life in order that you don't have to go through the tragedy of losing a grandchild and daughter in the same day.
2) If the company you work for has record profits and the CEO gets a huge bonus, I'm voting that you should get a raise instead of stock holders getting all the money.
3) If you should happen to lose that job, I'm voting that you will still have access to quality healthcare.
4) If you have a home on the coast or in the mountains, I'm voting to mitigate climate change so that your home isn't subject to extreme weather changes where it gets washed away or burned to the ground.
5) If you live in one of the states with the greatest percentage of child poverty (all red states, btw), I'm voting to feed your children in school.
6) If you have a child attending school, I'm voting that they don't have to be afraid that someone with an AR-15 is going to shoot them dead in their classroom.
7) I'm voting so that you or anyone in your family can love who you love, and live a life without discrimination and prejudice.
8.) I'm voting so that you have the freedom to worship who you want and how you want. I'm voting for separation of church and state which is, literally, in the constitution.
9) I'm voting that you get to receive Medicare benefits and Social Security benefits that are NOT "entitlements" because you have paid into them for years.
If these things make me a "crazy liberal", then so be it. Perhaps the crazy thing is that I don't just want these things for me and my family. I want them for you, too.
The economy is not the only thing to consider for this election. The entire world is in economic crisis.
I am making a choice that I believe (my belief, my opinion) will make our country a better place for everyone whether you agree with me or you don't. Caring for @everyone is a Democratic (big D and small d) value I’m proud to uphold.
I'm voting BLUE. I'm voting for myself, my country, AND for YOU.


Republican activists who believe the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump have crafted a plan that, in their telling, will thwart cheating in this year's midterm elections.

The strategy: Vote in person on Election Day or — for voters who receive a mailed ballot — hold onto it and hand it in at a polling place or election office on Nov. 8.

The plan is based on unfounded conspiracy theories that fraudsters will manipulate voting systems to rig results for Democrats once they have seen how many Republican votes have been returned early. There has been no evidence of any such widespread fraud.

If enough voters are dissuaded from casting ballots early, it could lead to long lines on Election Day and would push back processing of those late-arriving mailed ballots. Those ballots likely would not get counted until the next day or later.

"It just slows everything down," said Noah Praetz, the former election clerk in Cook County, Illinois, who now advises local election offices on best practices and security. "In many places, if you don't get mail ballots in hand until Election Day, you are not counting them until after Election Day."

There is no evidence of widespread fraud, cheating or manipulation of voting machines in the 2020 election. Exhaustive reviews in the states disputed by Trump upheld Democrat Joe Biden's win, and legal challenges pursued by the former president and his allies were rejected by numerous judges, including ones appointed by Republicans.

That hasn't stopped conspiracy theories that have spread over the last two years, fueled by Trump, allies including MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and a crop of Republican candidates seeking office this year. The calls to hold onto ballots until the last minute have grown louder in recent weeks, according to a review of social media accounts by The Associated Press.
"It's a lot easier to catch any fraud," Lindell, who has promoted the last-minute voting strategy on podcasts, told the AP in a recent interview. Lindell, through various events, has sought to prove that voting machines were manipulated to favor Biden in 2020.
Trump also has weighed in, saying at a recent rally that voting on Election Day was best because "it's much harder for them to cheat that way."
The strategy push by conservatives comes after the use of mailed ballots soared during the 2020 election amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The end of pandemic restrictions, Trump's attacks on mailed ballots and new voting restrictions in some Republican-led states has led to a decline in the use of mailed ballots this year, but it still remains a popular option for many voters.
Experts say a last-minute crush of ballots could end up creating delays that can be used by a bad actor to undermine confidence in the election.
"It's an opening for people to begin questioning and stoking mistrust and distrust," said Chris Piper, former commissioner of the Virginia Department of Elections.
Discouraging early voting and encouraging voters to hold onto their mailed ballots until Election Day runs counter to efforts by most campaigns. Republican and Democratic candidates alike typically want to have as many ballots in hand as possible heading into Election Day so they can focus their efforts on getting stragglers to the polls and persuading undecided voters.
The dueling approaches have resulted in a confusing array of messages for Republican voters.
In Georgia, a recent online flier by one grassroots group read: "Voting in person and on Election Day is the only way to overwhelm the system." A conservative group in the state, VoterGA, told its members to "protect" their votes by applying for an absentee ballot early and waiting to deliver it until Election Day.
The chair of the state Republican Party, David Shafer, recently tweeted on the party's official account: "Voting in-person early is just as safe as voting in-person on Election Day!"
The cross-messaging also is hitting Republican voters in Arizona, which has high-stakes races this year for U.S. Senate, governor and secretary of state. Mail voting has been popular there among voters of both parties for years.
State Sen. Wendy Rogers, a Republican who backed a partisan review of 2020 ballots in Maricopa County, told viewers of One America News Network earlier this month that "we need to vote on the last day, the day of Election Day, so they don't know how much to cheat by."
But her party's top candidates — who also have embraced false claims about the 2020 election — have recently tried to counter that strategy.
"If you have a mail-in ballot, I think that you should mail it in. I want people to vote," Kari Lake, the Republican nominee for governor, told reporters this month. "And vote whatever way you want to vote, but vote."
Lake has been among those calling for a rollback in mailed ballots and early voting, favoring instead a single day of in-person voting. Blake Masters, the Republican candidate for Senate in Arizona who also has Trump's support, said it's fine to vote by mail if that's what a voter prefers.
"I want to know results on election night," Masters told reporters earlier this month. "I'm telling people vote in person, if you can. If not, vote early and return via mail. And let's know the result."
It's unclear whether the messaging for Republicans to hold onto their mailed ballots is having an effect. In two politically important states, the return rate for mailed ballots is slower than in previous elections — although it also could mean voters there remain undecided.
In Georgia, about 23% of mailed ballots have been returned with just over two weeks before Election Day compared to about 35% at about the same time in 2020 and almost 37% in 2018. As of Oct. 19 in Wisconsin, 45% of mailed ballots had been returned compared to 56% in at the same point 2020 and 2018.
Some Democrats also have advocated submitting ballots at the last minute — but based more on a political strategy than claims of fraud.
Pam Keith, an attorney, Democratic activist and former congressional candidate in Florida, said she thinks the predictability that Democrats will vote by mail gives Republicans an early hint at turnout levels. That's why she is advocating for a surge of ballots at the last minute, catching Republicans off guard.
"By voting early, we are showing our hand," Keith said. "We show what our turnout number is going to be. And if they know that the overwhelming majority of vote-by-mail ballots are in, then they know what they need to do to win."
Keith's advice strayed from that of many Democratic candidates, who have encouraged their supporters to vote early and by mail.
