Gasoline Price Too High? Better Stop Driving... Why Pay a Fortune to Pollute the Air and Cause Climate Change When You Could Simply Leave The Damn Thing PARKED?

If You Sell Your Car You No Longer Have to Pay for Car Insurance. All those Crazy Ads on TV... They are Not Talking to ME! Liberty Mutual can F*CK OFF!

I Cut my Driving from About 50 Miles Per Day to 1 Mile per day by Simply NOT GOING PLACES... I DO Use LYFT to Visit the Doctor Twice a Year...

Sure... People Say That Climate Change will only Kill Off Four Billion Humans and Then The World Will Heal BUT... Why Not Take Action Now and Prevent Disaster? All That Mad Rushing Around Traveling All Over the Place FOR AMUSEMENT is in My Past... THE Past... Yes... I Used to Drive All Over the USA in order to Dance at Grateful Dead Concerts... WELL... We Can't Do That Anymore...

Robot With a Headdress

VW Bus on a Sunny Day

Friendly Alien Waving at You.

and then I Read on FaceBorg:

A guy goes into a bar in Washington where there is a robot bartender.

The robot says, "What will you have?

The guy replies, "Whiskey."

The robot brings back his drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"

The guy say, "168."

The robot continues to talk about physics, space exploration, and medical technology.

After the guy leaves and the more he thinks about it, the more curious he gets, so he decides to go back.

The robot asks, "What's your drink?"

The guy answers, "Whiskey."

The robot returns with his drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"

The man replies, "100."

The robot talks about Nascar, Football and Hockey.

The man finishes his drink, leaves, but is so interested in his "experiment" that he decides to try again.

He enters the bar and, as usual, the robot asks him what he want to drink.

The man replies, "Whiskey."

The robot brings the drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"

The man answers, "50."

The robot leans in real close and says, “the election was rigged. Trump Really Won.”

On the Other Hand...

Buying Used Stuff at Thrift Stores DOES NOT CAUSE ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE Like Buying New Stuff Does. When You Buy a New Product, the Corporation Has to Replace It.

They Mine Raw Materials, grow plants (like cotton) using pesticides and herbicides, Log Forests, Employ Slave Laborers in the Orient, Burn Gasoline Shipping the Plastic Crap Here From China... and on and on and on... Used Products ALREADY EXIST and so Buying Stuff at The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop (my local store) does NOT Harm the Planet. Actually, They Hire Local People to Work as Clerks and Do Delivery. We Bought ALL our Living Room Furniture there. Three Chairs and a Sofa... and Men Delivered It Upstairs in Our Home. NO WAY could I Move those Heavy Objects Up That Staircase... I Tipped those Guys $10 Each... and they were really Thankful. Yes, I Could Have Spent a Fortune at Sears or KMART but... I Prefer to Keep The Money IN MY WALLET. I Like Employing Guys That Live At The Rescue Mission. The Mission Does Good Work Here in Eureka and I've Met a LOT of Real People That They Help. I did buy new Beds at Sears. Somehow, those were just too Personal to Buy Used... also, I Do Not Buy Used Underwear... BUT, Clothes? YES! It's actually fun to find thrift stores in Super Rich Neighborhoods and Live Like the TV Show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous..." A Great Place to Shop is North Shore Lake Tahoe... Snow Bunnies often Donate Extra Stuff When the Season is Over... and There is Also DUMPSTER DIVING in College Towns at the End of the School Year... FREE STUFF! 

Oddly, I Expressed These Opinions during a Group Discussion at an Ecology Class at Humboldt State University and ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS SAID I WAS WRONG... They said that Used Stuff Still Requires Ecological Damage to Exist at All... I tried to explain that the Manufacturing Damage Happened IN THE PAST and it is impossible to Change History but Buying New Stuff CAUSES Purchasing Agents at Corporations to Hire People to Create New Stuff IN THE FUTURE to Fill the Shelves At The Store. No One Grasped the Concept. But I Did Make The Other Students Think. and That's a Good Thing. It's a difficult concept... I Wish I Could Explain it in a Shorter Sentence... Maybe YOU can Re-Write the Concept Better and Post it in the Comments Section... Thanks!

Remember: There are Two Ways to Get Everything You Want. Get More or Want Less. and... You Can Get More Stuff Per Dollar At The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop... or Your Own Store... Did You Know that There is a Fashion "Thing" where Corporations PRE-RIP Clothes? Intentionally Making Them LOOK USED! Really! They Hire People to Rub Jeans over Rough Surfaces to SIMULATE Wear and Tear of Normal Use... I'm Not Making This UP! All the Pathetic Dupes are Wearing Clothes Like That! On My Own Webstore... I Offer Hats that have been "Distressed" to look like they are Old... It's an Option... I wish I could write a Mocking Slogan Poking Fun at this Fashion Trend... Then I Could Sell a Hat with That Saying... Sort of like the Question: "Can You Imagine a World Without Hypothetical Situations?" or The Page that says: "This Page Is Left Blank Intentionally." A Cosmic Haiku Slogan... I do sell a Hat that says "PRESS" so people can wear it at Protest Marches and Avoid Being Bashed on the Head By The Police... I Do Not Really Know if It REALLY Helps Avoid Police Violence... I Do Know That People Made T-Shirts Saying "Backstage Pass - Shoreline Ampetheater - Bill Graham Productions" and Used them to sneak past Security Guards... I admire the Guy that Made a Sign that Says "This is a Sign." Was That Absurdist Theater or End Times Warning?

“I saw a post the other day by a lady who said she always grabs vintage casserole dishes when she sees them at thrift stores or yard sales and uses them when she brings a meal to someone! She said often they are cheaper than disposable ones and the family can either keep for themselves or pass on to someone else who needs a meal in the future! So in the spirit of reduce, reuse, renew & recycle... I thought this was a neat idea worth sharing!”

#France1789 What is the Cure for Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome? #BubbleUP Economics.

 

Fight for the Cure!
Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome
is an Epidemic!

The Trouble here in the USA is that the Super Rich have Purchased the US Congress and Every State's "Elected" Officials as well... All of those Puppets Keep on Passing Laws that Remove Money from The So-Called "Middle Class" and Redistribute our Tax Money to the Super Rich... Using Subsidies for Oil and Gas... and Pentagon Spending on Pointless Wars... Endless Purchasing of Lockheed Airplanes and Missiles... General Atomic Drones... and Trump's Tax Cuts for the Rich Law... 

Everybody Knows This but... Rarely are there any SOLUTIONS Posted online or on TV... Plenty of "Guillotine" Jokes... but I believe that a Lot of that CrazyTalk® is FBI Agents Searching for Right Wing Nuts to Arrest... Online Entrapment...  CoIntelPro2021  - anyway... I Don't Know Where Anyone from the 1% Lives... and They Probably have Private Armies Protecting them From assassination - SO... I do not Plan on Taking any Action Like That! I'm Happy as Long as I Keep On Winning Money on the Stock Market... 

The News Media Predicts Global Economic Collapse to Happen October 18th 2021... and It's all #MoscowMitch McConnell's Fault...

I Have Noticed that IN GENERAL, People Who Have Had The Psychedelic Experience are NICE People... and HAPPY, HEALTHY PEOPLE... 

What IF We Had People Who "Turn On" The Ruling Class... Currently We Have Doctors Doing Research into the Medicinal Value of LSD, Magic Mushrooms, Peyote, DMT and MDMA... 

Does That Mean that we will soon Have SUPER PURE LSD Available to the General Public? Quality We Have Not Seen Since the Early 1960s when SANDOZ Laboratories made LSD-25? 

Psychedelic RE-Grooving Could be a way to Teach the Ruling Class That There ARE ALTERNATIVE HOBBIES to Getting More, More, More Money! For Example: Dance, Paint a Picture, Play a Musical Instrument, Go Surfing, Swim, Write Poetry, Go Backpacking, Grow Organic Vegetables, Look Deep Inside and Contemplate the Meaning of Life... The Possibilities are ENDLESS!

Facebook Artificial Intelligence Programs Censors What You Say... They have automatically read every word and reject certain posts... A Post of mine that included the Word "Towelhead" was Rejected and I was Banned for Three Days... They said That word was "Hate Speech." 

In Fact... There are People That Wear a Towel on Their Head!

Check Out the Dude in the Lower Right Hand Corner... Obviously He Just went to an Italian Restaurant and Decided to wear the Tablecloth Home! 

I think it's amazingly co-incidental that Facebook is "down" Today... 10/4/2021... They are Entirely Out of Business! At the Same Time, Facebook "Whistleblower" is Being Grilled at a US Congressional Hearing... 

Headline: Facebook whistleblower revealed on '60 Minutes,' says the company prioritized profit over public good... https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/03/tech/facebook-whistleblower-60-minutes/index.html

Headline: Facebook shares drop nearly 5% after major site outage and whistleblower interview... https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/04/facebook-shares-drop-5percent-after-site-outage-and-whistleblower-interview.html

TAX the RICH - Cut Taxes on the Rest of Us... It's Called Bubble Up Economics. Raise the Minimum Wage to $15.00 and Increase All Social Security Payments 15%... We Promise to Spend the Extra Money at American Businesses... Increasing Profits! Everybody Wins!

TAX the RICH & Cut Taxes on the 99%

 

TAX THE RICH LARGE TOTE BAG
by gregvan

Did you notice that The Democrats supposedly have control of the US Senate and The US House and The Presidency but... 

The Paid Puppets of the Super Rich STILL ACTUALLY RUN THINGS? This "Clown" Manchin from West-Freaking-Virginia is Running the Country... He's an OBVIOUS Employee of OIL, Gas and COAL... and Yet... Somehow... In Order to Get anything actually done we need 60 votes in the US Senate... Allowing #MoscowMitch to Veto Everything and Then say... "See? If You Elect Democrats, Nothing Gets Done." 

and Explain The Other Attention Addicts... That are Supposedly our Representatives...  "Look at ME! Look at ME! Look at ME!" Shouts Marjorie Taylor Greene New Deal... 

and NOW... It appears that in order to cause Biden to Fail... The Republicans will let the USA Default on our National Debt... Causing a Global Economic Collapse... I Guess the Plan is to End Democracy in the USA and Crown Trump CZAR... 

Sure... Billions of People will Starve to Death but... The Super Rich will Continue Their Rule over the RUINS of the USA... and all the while shouting MAGA... or Having Their Brainwashed Minions do the Shouting... 

The Basics of Bubble UP Economics: With a $15.00 an Hour Minimum Wage and a 15% increase in Social Security 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... 

BUY NO CHINESE JUNK for CHRISTMAS... Inflation Got You Down? Simply STOP Consuming... Buying Low Price Bad Quality Merchandise DOES NOT CAUSE HAPPINESS! Just Frustration When It Breaks Down...

This Movie Might Be Interesting... But Remember... All LSD is Made by Criminals And Sometimes it is VERY BAD QUALITY and Often It's NOT EVEN LSD... I was Chatting with this Girl who said she had a Three Day Nightmare trip at a PHISH Concert and... That made me think she actually took DOM (STP) and the Criminal who sold it to her just CALLED it ACID... 

Legalizing Medicinal Psychedelics Would VASTLY Improve the Quality and Safety...

What IF we secretly fed Cannabis Cookies to Evil People? Would they Change their Minds and become Good People?

For Example:  Lobbyists that Bribe Corrupt Politicians and Help Pass Laws that Hurt the Public but Benefit Corporations? Like Pollution Regulations... Would AWAKENING HELP?

There are fancy Hotels near the US Capitol Building that have a Lunch Buffet that is Popular with "Suits".  A person wearing a waiters uniform could place a tray of cookies on the Buffet... Intoxicating Congressional Office Workers, Lobbyists, Businessmen and maybe even Senators and Representatives...

Then an appreciation for Ecology might overgrow the desire for Stockholder's Profits or Bribes. Could Happen! There is a restaurant IN the US Capital... What IF an actual employee distributed Cannabis Candies? There are MANY different edibles... Why NOT?

WELL, I got some feedback from a Reader on Mastodon... 

He Said:

"That's never acceptable. Dosing someone with a mind altering drug without their knowledge and consent is a serious crime. Intentionally arranging a situation where people dose themselves unknowingly is a serious crime. Even someone you hate. Even someone who commits crimes."

SO, I Changed MY Mind about This... Now I Feel that we ought to OFFER COOKIES TO EVIL PEOPLE... AND LET THEM VOLUNTARILY DOES THEMSELVES... This Plan Might be more effective because there would not be a panic reaction when the cookies take effect... no rushing to the hospital because they thought they were CRAZY...
