"The Path Forward" - 20 Simple Suggestions for Making the World a Better Place to Live... #1. Tax the Rich, Cut Taxes for the 99%. All that Extra Money in People's Paychecks Will Bubble UP Thru The Entire Economy; Increasing Sales, Increasing Profits...EVERYBODY WINS!




If YOU Have Any Ideas, Tell Me and I'll Include them in this eBook. gregvan[at]yahoo[dot]com

Here is The Path Forward!

1. Tax the Rich, Cut Taxes for the 99%. All that Extra Money in People's Paychecks will Bubble UP Throughout The Entire Economy. Raise the Minimum Wage to $15.00 and Increase All Social Security Checks by 15% - People WILL Spend that Extra Money at American Businesses Causing Higher Profits... and Increased Hiring to Handle the New Customers. EVERYBODY WINS!

2. Gerrymandering Allows Unpopular Candidates to Serve in Elected Offices. By Drawing Crazy Lines on a Map We Have Insane Monsters Represent Minority Viewpoints. A Tool That Has Allowed the Republican Party to Rule... UNTIL 2020... In That Election Trump Backlash Caused the Democrats to WIN The House, Senate and Presidency. A Total Rejection of Trump AND His Evil Minions!

3. Trump's EPA=Enable Polluters Agency. Let FLIP The Mission to Protecting the Environment! Do It For The Children!

4. End Federal Subsidies for Oil and Gas. Start Subsidizing Solar and Wind. Create a "Manhattan Project" to Do Basic Research into Better Batteries... and Solar Powered Desalinization... We Need Clean Drinking Water...

5. Increase Federal Spending on Our Crumbling Infrastructure. We Can Pay For It By Cutting Defense Spending In Half. Remember: Since 1945, The US Military Has Never Defended The Country. NOT EVEN ONCE. All Those Taxpayer Dollars are Just BOGUS Welfare for The Military Industrial Complex...

6. Start Training Classes For the Police So They Stop Murdering Unarmed Black People. This One Simple Trick Will Save Billions of Dollars Currently Wasted on Rebuilding Cities from Riots! There Simply Will Not BE Riots! and No Million Dollar Settlements With the Family of the Murder Victim. DUH!
$12 Million Awarded to Breonna Taylors Family AND Countless Millions Spent on Riot Control... The Police Don't Work For Free!

7. Legalize Marijuana Nationwide, Tax It and Free All the Cannabis Prisoners. Use the Empty Jail Cells as a Homeless Shelter. Just Remove the Bars and They are Already Set Up With Food, Medicine, Showers, a Library and Basketball Court! This Would Cause a Massive INCREASE In Voluntary Taxes and a Massive DECREASE in Government Spending... EVERYBODY WINS!

8. Fund Basic Research into Fighting Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome. It's an Epidemic! Destroying The USA By The Blood Sucking Leeches of the Ruling Class... This Mental Health Disease Manifests Itself By The Super Rich Purchasing Senators and Congressmen That Pass Laws Benefitting the Super Rich... at The Expense of 99% of Americans... The only Solution I Can Think of is #FRANCE1789... #OccupyWashingtonDC There is a CrazyLaw® Called Citizens United That Needs to Be Reversed... It Legalizes Bribery of Politicians... WITH NO RECORD of Who Spent What... Enabling Russian Funding of The NRA and the GOP...

9. #ImpeachBrett #ImpeachAmy - Remove Bratt Kava Kava NOOGIE from the Supreme Court. Remove Amy Too... No Reason Needed... Just Have the House File Impeachment Charges and The Senate Convict Them... Before They Do Any More Damage to the USA...

10. Allow ARREST of a Sitting President by the Department of Justice... There is a DOJ OPINION that Says We Cannot Indict a Sitting President... EVEN IF HE IS GUILTY OF A CRIME... That's a Crazy Idea... In Effect, It Made Crime Legal for "HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED" and His Friends... #fuBARR is a Co Conspirator... It's Just an Opinion... The Supreme Court Has NOT Ruled That It's VALID...

11. Overturn Citizens United. Remove Bribery From US Elections...

12. End the Electoral College. Most Americans Prefer Majority Rule... The Electoral College allowed the TWO WORST PRESIDENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY to serve... George Bush The Son and Donald Trump The Insane...

13. Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics. Let Doctors and Patients Decide for Themselves What Treatment is Best. Get Corrupt Lawmakers OUT of Medicine... They Are Just Puppets of Big Pharma. The GOAL of Pharmaceutical Corporations is PROFIT, NOT HEALTH.

14. We Could Provide Shelter for Homeless People in the Unused Jail Cells that Once Were Used to Incarcerate Cannabis Prisoners... Once you remove the Bars, a Jail Cell has a Bed, Food, Medicine, Showers, a Library and Exercise... Everything Needed to Rebuild a Life...

15. Get Vaccines for Your Children. They Save Lives. Not Just Your Own Children's Life but Everyone In The Community.

16. End Trump's Trade War With China. That Would Let American Farmers Sell Them More Food...

17. Let's Cut the Budget for NSA Spying on Americans. And CIA, FBI, DIA, DARPA and EIEIO Spying on Americans Programs... Those Program has Proved to be Useless and a Fundamental Invasion of Privacy... a Violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution... Hey, If You're a Freaking NARC, UckFay OuYay...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

18. Wear Masks, Practice Social Distancing and Wash Your Hands. It's Not Complicated. https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2020/11/wear-masks-practice-social-distancing.html




19. It Ought to be Illegal for People to Go on TV and Call for Murdering Other People. Like Steve Bannon, Rude Julie Anna and Trump's Lawyer Joe DiGenova Did.

20. Net Neutrality. Let the Internet be a Level Playing Field.

So Many Disclaimers... Was This Written by a Freaking Lawyer? "

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

What IS Bubble UP Economics and How Does it Work? Simply Raise the Minimum Wage to Fifteen Dollars an Hour and Raise all Social Security Checks 15%. Then all Those people will spend the extra money in their paychecks at American Businesses. Increasing Profits. Making Stockholders Happy! Then those businesses will have to hire more people to handle the extra Customers. Decreasing Unemployment Insurance Payments. Everybody WINS! With EMPLOYMENT AT A JOB becoming a Viable Alternative to Selling Drugs for a Street Gang, Some teenagers will choose Employment... Reducing CRIME... Reducing Costs for Prisons... Reducing Costs for Law Enforcement... People will buy more food for their Children. Causing Better Health and Smarter Kids... Starvation is Not Good for Children's Brains... Farmers will sell More. Truckers will move more merchandise to stores. Increased Competition for Workers will cause Everybody's Wages to Go Up. All those Workers will pay more in Income Taxes... That would make the Government happy... Right NOW, we are having a National Debt Ceiling Crisis because the Government is Spending More that it Takes in with Taxes... Bubble UP Economics would reverse that trend... The Money Bubbles UP Through Every Layer of Society... With a rising tide, every boat floats! We Tried Ronald Reagan's "Voodoo" Economics and It Has Failed...

"People" Say That Bubble UP! Economics WILL MAKE Employers LAY OFF Workers... However... Employers HAVE ALREADY LAID OFF EVERYONE THEY POSSIBLY CAN... Have you Ever Seen a Business where People Work There but Have Nothing To DO? Never!

Who Could Possibly be Opposed to the JOY of Bubble UP! Economics? Well, there are people in this world that have COMPULSIVE HOARDING OF MONEY SYNDROME. It's a Mental Health Disease just Like The Crazy Cat Lady...

Awaken Americans! The Talking Heads on TV Keep on Saying that the Economy is "Booming" - BUT - That's only true for the SUPER RICH... We the People are Hurting BAD! Trump-0-Nomics FAILED the 99% https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2020/07/bubbleup-economics-works-raise-minimum.html

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

and then... D.S. Said: I don't know that we need to cut taxes for the 99%, but we certainly DO need to tax the rich! We also need to make businesses pay living wages, because if they can't afford to do so, they should not be running a business here - it's just not something everyone can afford to do, like not everyone can afford to buy a house, some folks have to rent, or live in mobile homes - life goes on just fine, thanks very much! We have to expect to pay taxes for the things we need, we just ALL need to be doing it according to income. Just my opinion, of course.😁

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

A Friend of Mine Did Not Believe That Her Car Was On the Wrong Side of the Road and Heading for a Logging Truck... and then... She Went Through Her Windshield Head First! Wham! Reality DID Exist! But TrumpNiks Fail to Grasp That Simple Fact... No Matter How Many Lies Trump Tells, Reality Does Not Actually Change... AWAKEN!

and Then Rob Wolter Said:
When I hear or see “God bless America “ I think to myself that just doesn’t seem right. Did God create America or the world? Does God choose sides? Does God have a favorite football team or a favorite politician for that matter? We’ve been conditioned to think that God will help “Our” side if only we pray enough or belong to a certain religion. If I believed there was a god, my god would make sure everyone was treated equally and the world would not suffer from the hands of man.
Bob Dylan Song "With God On Our Side"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfHLYIms97A

and then Dee Smith said:
Gerrymandering is just one of the very nasty tricks some states pull to screw 'certain' citizens out of their voice (and their power).
We need to end a LOT of the political dirty tricks we've fallen victim to over the years, including the Electoral College, and we need to do it NOW, well before the next big election.
The power is SUPPOSED to belong to 'We, the People', not to the unscrupulous representatives that somehow keep getting reelected in certain states.
Majority should ALWAYS rule here. An area (or state) with 10,000 people does NOT count the same as an area with 100,000 people - every vote must be equal, no matter where we live.

Here is an Interesting Facebook Group.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/YouGoGreta/

Welcome new members - we're glad you're here! We work to make this a safe space to have a meaningful conversation about Greta Thunberg, climate change, and what we can all do to change ourselves and our systems.
We are people from all over the world, so we respect political, cultural, and spiritual differences. We are children; we do not post violence or profanity.
We are kind to each other and we would like you to tell us about any haters and trolls you meet. We delete their posts and block them from the group.

Please take some time to look back through what has already been posted. There is a lot of good material there that will interest you and that way you can avoid repeating posts we have already approved.
Please report comments that break the rules - we can't possibly see them all. You do this by holding the comment with your finger on a phone until the menu appears or by clicking the little ... or chevron in the upper corner of the post on your computer.
A word is needed about what we mean by respecting other people’s cultures, religions, political orientations, and spiritual practices. We do not see a conflict between science and spiritual practice. Both areas of human endeavor have their own intelligence, their own insights into life and the universe. They can coexist peacefully, as can all the world’s faith and wisdom traditions. All the world’s cultures are needed to solve these severe and challenging problems we face, no one people, tribe, nation, or hemisphere has a monopoly on the answers. So we need to learn how to talk across the artificial divides we humans are so good at making between ourselves. Listen, try and see things from other perspectives. Don’t condemn, make snarky remarks or post things that you know would insult the other person’s sensibilities. Be kind. If that is too difficult for you, we will block you from the group.
Sometimes we will just click "delete" on things that break the rules. That means you will get a message saying it's spam when it could be against a different rule. We trust you can look at the rules to figure it out. We are happy to answer your questions and to reconsider things. We’re not perfect. We’re a small group of volunteers.

Headline: Top Pentagon leadership gutted as fears rise over national security. Esper Fired by Trump...

and then Darryl Cherney Said:
Choice 1: The beast in the white house wants to turn his military on our citizens or 2: He making us vulnerable from an attack by a foreign power. Or both. While I'm at it, polls should ask 1. Do you believe we should have just a one party system. 2. Do you think all democrats should be killed? 3. Would you prefer a dictatorship under the beast over Biden? But they never ask these questions.
RM REPLIED:
He got rid of the forever wars leadership....
Darryl Replied:
Highly doubt that. Plus he's waging war on the people of the United States, in case you hadn't noticed. Let's see he's suppressed COVID protocols so there's 230,000 dead and rising fast, most of which could have been avoided. And the hatred against anyone not like him. Armed resurrections in towns across the country. Hmmm. Highly doubt we're done with war under him.
PH Said:
Every time he opens his mouth he wages war on Truth, Science, Ethics and Morality.
Darryl Sid:
Care to mention the 5 wars Hillary started? And here's a question for you: Did you vote for Bush over Gore or Kerry? Honest question. Point is all of our major current wars were not only started by Republicans--and I'm not a Democrat by the way in the least (I can't stand them or the Republicans even moreso)--but the whole premise of 9/11 was bogus. Even if we take the conspiracies out of it--it was the Saudis behind it and that's without complications. Afghanistan offered Bin Laden up to us--right there in the news. But we wanted that oil pipeline, and heroin trade to continue. That's the party currently in power.
TZ SAID:
Everyone should demand that Trump be immediately impeached again. 2 1/2 months is too long to let this traitor do whatever he wants. We need to keep him busy and under investigation. He may let his owner Vlad take Ukraine in exchange for the $421 million he owes Russian billionaires.
~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~
I think we are heading in the right direction. Trump's Loss is Proof of Awakening...

and we do have the opportunity to explain things to the people in charge. I Email President Biden, My Senators and My Congressman Frequently. It's Especially FUN to Email Biden at the White House because I Start Every Email just Like a Formal Letter... "Dear President Biden: Congratulations! and then I Say what I Have to Say... " and I Know That Trump's Staff Read My Message... for another 56 days...

https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

I do believe Birth Control and Abortion Should Be Legal and FREE Worldwide... Remember: Osama bin Laden had 41 Brothers and Sisters... His Father owned a construction Company that Built Roads, Airports and THE MOSQUE at MECCA... With That Wealth he Bought Himself a Harem and kept Them Pregnant Constantly... That's Not a Great Plan...

and then I saw A Familiar Photo... and People Still Fighting the Vietnam war...


Bernie Weisz
November 2, 2012
A hippy dippy war protester in Wisconsin. Gunther Redcatcher sez: Their spawns have evolved. Besides screaming & screeching, they now riot, burn communities and "stoop" to a higher level of crime & chaos than their grandparents could ever dream of reaching. Kelly Winkelbauer sez: "passive aggressive fuck head." Jim Ullrich sez: The rioters, window breakers, and burners are thugs that move from city to city. Seattle & Portland police departments have collaborated and ID’d most of them. 18-26 year old male losers in all cases. Not the protesters. David Straza sez: Is there a reason to put that idiots picture on the site? Bernie Weisz reacts to David Straza : Yes there is.....I show EVERY ANGLE of the Vietnam Experience....from Dien Bin Phu in '54 to the final collapse on April 30, 1975. I publish the good, the bad and the ugly. If I post something that offends you, either scroll past it or unfriend and block me. No topic is off limits. No sugar coating. The truth of American Involvement in SEA will all be told here! As the saying used to go....."Love It or Leave it! Michael Dench sez: Wouldn't you just wanna reach out and grab him by the nose...hard. Gary D. Harrington sez: "I've looked at life from both sides now. From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall. I really don't know life at all" "Both Sides Now" Joni Mitchell Lyrics. Bill Tucker sez: The cop is close enough to break a nose. Dan Truff sez: Liberalism truly is a mental disorder! Facts and logic mean nothing it’s all about feelings and emotion! They are essentially emotional cripples! Johnny Hurst sez: Knock his teeth out. Dan Pollitt sez: The rioters were burning in 1970, Wright State had their ROTC building burned down. Pat Fitzpatrick sez: Try it in China. Daniel Seidenberg sez: The first reaction to truth is hatred. Tertullian. John Gill sez: Years later- - and I still HATE THEM !!!!!!


Pete Simon
Hold it folks. Did you read the text underneath the picture written by Gunther Redcatcher? ... It contains a VERY distorted view from the right on the anti-war movement. I am reminded of the verbal joust which almost erupted into a brawl (live on American television) during the Democratic National Convention in 1968, between William F. Buckley and Gore Vidal. The most EMOTIONAL person that evening was Buckley, hands down. ............... The author of the text above writes right out of the Dulles Brothers playbook-- the bastards who have controlled our national narrative on our foreign policy, the role of our military and HOW to define patriotism. The one President who tried to go against that grain was JFK and he paid for it with his life. ............. JFK was the only President who wanted to pull-out of Vietnam. But that "cardinal sin" against the thinking of the Dulles Brothers cabal did not stop there. JFK was the only President in Post World War TWO America who did not see young, emerging nationalistic leaders in developing countries as the threat to this country that our right wing painted them to be (yes, there is a difference between Pan Africanism and Communism; read George Padmore) --- he saw people like Patrice Lumumba as an opportunity to create a new and more equitable world order, where superior U.S. technologies and expertise could successfully out-do anything the Soviets or Chinese could offer (John Deere had it all over the Russian and Chinese tractors). ............... The JFK - Patrice Lumumba assassination reaction photo speaks volumes. It flies in the face of what the bastard wrote in the text above. It has nothing to do with being emotional, and everything to do with having common sense. ......................... https://www.democraticunderground.com/10026394418


Well said as always, Pete Simon. The idea that "people sympathetic to Communisn began teaching in our schools" (sic) is really bullshit. In college, albeit a cornerstone of my emerging belief system (which I hold to this day) we had an avowed commie teaching a particular history class. We all knew it and, frankly, rejected his simplistic approach. He was a laughing stock with few supporters. This underlying fear of a communist takeover continues, even to this day. And yet, when obvious attempts (by the aforementioned "commies") to undermine our elections and other standards of a free society, it is those same hippie, "pro-communist" (give me a frickin' break, honestly!) individuals who object. I would maintain that nowadays the American far right, NOT the far left, are much more in the evil communist's corner. And Pete Simon and I are on exactly the same page vis-a-vis Patrice Lumuba and Pan-African positions. Christ, even Castro asked for our humanitarian help first, before the Russkies. But, of course, since our financial interests were more aligned to the totalitarian Batista position, this alliance resulted in our "misguided" policies. The United States has been messing with other country's geopolitics for my entire life. And the results have not been all that moral or even helpful to our position in the world. I would recommend that if you are unsure of that comment, check out the actual history and events of post WWII America. Or, put in very straightahead terms, "what's so (funny 'bout)" defending human rights and free elections in other countries. C'mon now!


and then Victor Koman Said:
Gregory Laan — The threat of global economic collapse comes from the enemies of Trump and the American people: the Ruling Class/Corporate State Capitalists/Deep-State Administrative Statists who want a "Great Reset" (i.e., establishment of global fascism à la Communist China) run by unelected, extra-governmental "governance" organizations with dictatorial powers. If you like stay-at-home orders, mask mandates, and "social-credit" obedience rankings, you've been molded into the perfect subject for their rule.


and I Replied: Why did Trump Fail So Badly? TRUMP DESTROYED THE ECONOMY - Massive Unemployment, Endless Business Bankruptcies, Increased Homelessness, More Suicides, Drug Overdoses UP, Alcoholism Worse, Coronavirus Killed 224,000 SO FAR, Higher Prices, Lower Wages. #TrumpsFailedEconomy #ImpeachHimAgain #LockHimUp #DumpTrump #IvankaGate
https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2020/08/trump-destroyed-economy-massive.html

and I replied: I personally am better off with the Continuing Rise of the Stock Market Starting in 2009... When Obama Reversed George Bush the Son's Idiot Policies... Straight Line UP! Until Trump's Disaster Day 3/16/2020... FYI: I Am a Part of the Ruling Class... Every Millionaire IS! I'm not Really Concerned About Middle Class Americans... I Just want to Continue Winning Money on the Stock Market... AND TRUMP THREATENED THE POSSIBILITY OF GLOBAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE...

THREE: I ought to have Some fun... do interesting things... FOUR: Teach Others... and Maybe everyone can Make the World a Better Place to Live... FIVE: Fight Evil and Evil People... Like Trump... MORE TO COME!




Top Eleven Idea! 

#1. Tax the Rich, Cut Taxes for the 99%. All that Extra Money in People's Paychecks Will Bubble UP Thru The Entire Economy; Increasing Sales, Increasing Profits...EVERYBODY WINS!

2. OUTLAW GERRYMANDERING: That way We Could Have Majority Rule in the USA. In Fact, Most People Prefer Majority Rule... We Tried Corporate Rule and That Was a Disaster!

3. Trump's EPA=Enable Polluters Agency. Let's FLIP The Mission to Protecting the Environment;

4. Legalize Marijuana Nationwide, Tax It and Free All Cannabis Prisoners; We Will NEED Empty Jail Cells to House TRAITOR TrumpNiks!

5. Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics; Let Doctors and Patients Decide What the Best Medicine Is... DUH...

6. End The Electoral College; Let The People Decide Who Becomes President.

7. Overturn Citizens United; Get Corporate Bribery OUT of Politics.

8.Cut Pentagon Spending in Half; Why Pay for BOGUS WARS?

9. Build Solar Powered Desalination Plants - We Need Fresh Drinking Water!

10. Wear a Mask, Practice Social Distancing and GET a Vaccine. Let's End Trump's Coronavirus!

11. Medicare for all. Costs Less, Works Better! Just Look At CANADA, They Pay Less Money and Live Longer... DUH...

Lets HIRE IMMIGRANTS and Collect Social Security and Income Tax from Them. While Republicans are FREAKING OUT about the Border... the Solution is Obvious...

and Immigrants would do all those Jobs that Americans Refuse!

https://gvan42.blogspot.com/ Simple Social Security Fix: HIRE IMMIGRANTS and Collect Social Security from Them.  People from Foreign Countries Tend to Be Young and Looking for Work.


and That would Solve the Problem of Illegal Immigration... Simply Legalize it and Put 'em to Work! Everybody Wins!

The Way Social Security Works is: Young People Pay IN and Old People Take OUT... It Requires a Balance Between Young and Old... and the Baby Boom Generation in America DID NOT Have Enough Children... However, Foreigners Have Been Breeding Like CRAZY! 

Trump's Failed Wall... People walk around the End. https://gvan42.blogspot.com/
Trump's Failed Wall... 
People Walk Around the End.

I wrote to my Representative in the US House Kevin Kiley and Said: Instead of wasting money building a wall... Let's EMPLOY Immigrants to do all those Jobs Americans Refuse... I Live at an Old Folks Home and ALL of our Care Givers are Immigrants... ALL of the Gardeners are Immigrants... This is an OBVIOUS SOLUTION! Why Not WAKE UP AND NOTICE REALITY? Sure... tRUMP Hates Mexicans and Blacks and Gays and Women but... His Ideas SUCK!

Fry's Electronics Store in Campbell https://gvan42.blogspot.com/


SE Said: 
I still feel sad when I drive past the location of the Fry's in Campbell, which is an empty building now. I remember how much fun it was to shop there in the 90's and early 2000's. They had more than just computers and computer accessories. They were my favorite store to buy small appliances like coffee makers, toasters, vacuum cleaners, etc. Nowadays, any time I need a small appliance, my first instinct is to go to Fry's, but then I remember that Fry's is no longer there. I shopped mostly at the Campbell store (with an Egyptian theme), but I also shopped at the Brokaw Rd store, which had a Polynesian theme...and when I lived in Hollywood, I spent a lot of time and money at the Burbank store, which had an outer-space theme. That store is where I got a lot of supplies for Burning Man, because Fry's also had a great selection of zip ties, bungee cords, and many different types of battery-powered lights including rope light and EL wire.
It breaks my heart seeing so many iconic stores closing down. I love the experience of browsing around an interesting store, and being able to see and touch the merchandise before buying it. The modern world is forcing us to do online shopping even when we'd rather not. I could write a dissertation about all the things I dislike about online shopping, and I have written about it a lot, and I'm sure I'll write about it again. But for now, I really wish I could go to a Fry's store today.

and BE Said:
"Your Best Buys Are Always at Fry's...Guaranteed!"

Started in Sunnyvale, in 1985 by three brothers and another partner, the chain's first slogan was the "One-Stop Shop for the Silicon Valley Professional"

Nearly every store retained a "theme," one that extended both to the exterior and interior design elements. The Campbell store was draped in kitschy Ancient Egypt stylings, with huge mockup pharaohs and effigies to King Tut.

These aimless aisles were flanked by the company's signature "checkout row," where big flashing siren lights would flag lines of customers to their waiting cashier, with the help of a sales-associate-turned-flight-controller directing traffic from a ladder on high.

Back in the day, It's like anyone you found on the floor was part of the Geek Squad, before Geek Squad was even a thing.

and I Replied:
I liked the fact that they had access to the ABSOLUTE BEST computer parts... My Roommate assembled computers and sold 'em in San Jose and I went with him to get a "limit one per customer" disk drive... This was in the 1990s when the State of the Art was Changing Rapidly.

and then Someone on FaceBorg asked:
Is brainwashed a legitimate legal defense? It is definitely a cognitive impairment. One would have to assume that being brainwashed means you are not guilty by reason of insanity. Does our legal system recognize a treatment for the condition of brainwashed? Can those responsible for brainwashing a person be held accountable for the crimes committed by their victims?

and then Susan Creamcheese Replied:
I don't think any actual brainwashing took place.. When they first heard 'the big lie' (or possibly before that for many) they realized that a lot of what they were hearing wasn't true..but they badly wanted it to be true, so they blocked out the reality, turned the TV to Faux News and allowed themselves to become radicalized... Some of them have come to their senses now...(mostly those facing charges) but 'brainwashed'..? No.. they grasped on to the fear and hate that they had been hiding just below the surface and felt that they finally were allowed to show their racism, misogyny, homophobia for all to see...And now they are embarrassed...but ashamed..? No, unfortunately they don't feel the shame that they should...

and I replied:
The CIA put a Lot of Effort into Researching Brainwashing in their Project MKUltra... and Now... FOX NEWS is the DEPLOYMENT of What they Learned... Just Scream "DANGER DANGER" and the Lizard Brain in all of us reacts... That's why RUSH was so Popular... He was Talking to the Caveman that survived because they woke up whenever the tribal Lookout Screamed "Danger Danger"
Michigan attorney general says fake GOP electors she charged are ‘brainwashed’

Classic Stories: "THE UMMAGUMMA OF CAMBRIDGE" - by gvan42 - "The Golden Spoon of Montezuma" - "The Origin of Popcorn" and "The Glazier with a Rock" and Trippy Mushroom Drawings!



When the aliens found out that their spaceship was infested with Ummagumma they stopped at the first planet (eARTh) and dumped them. The place was called Stonehenge. The Ummagumma are an annoying life form that supports themselves by petty thievery. They were first reported in Dickens books...you know... Oliver Twist...Pickpockets...They also have an annoying habit of taking things apart and not putting them back. Have you ever noticed that for some unknown reason things just "go on the blink" ? That's the work of the Ummagumma. For centuries they lived in the swamps near Oxford (Cambridge, England - the land of Eng) but one day they walked down to the docks and snuck aboard a boat. When the captain found out that his boat was infested with Ummagumma he stopped in the first port and dumped them. He threw them right overboard and into the San Francisco bay. They swam to shore and quickly blended into the population. You see, they are short and brown and could be mistaken for Chinamen...............................Stay tuned... next time they disassemble Sutro tower in a futile attempt to "call an intergalactic taxi". ............................And then they wander down the coast and climb... Mount UMUNHUM... The giant box on the mountain overlooking the city of Saint Joe. ...................................................The Ummagumma always stowaway and they just had to get off the planet eARTh. This planet's just too boring. Got to get back to the Swinging Planets in the Crab Nebula...That's where all the Fun Is. and so, gentle reader Ta Ta For Now...

Psychedelic Poetry - "CEREMONY AND RITUAL" - a story - Fiction - written by Gregory Vanderlaan about a Trip to Philadelphia - Grateful Dead at JFK Stadium and The Spectrum Arena - deadheads: stories from fellow artists

Mushroom Art Zazzle Gregvan - purple64ets - gvan42

OUR MINDS HAVE BEEN FUSED INTO ONE SHIMMERING
COLONIAL ANIMAL…
FLOWING IN THE
CURRENTS OF THE MUSIC…
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire !


IN THE SHADOWS,TORCHES FLICKER IN THE BREEZE.
THE ORACLE BEGINS TO SPEAK,
FEEL THE HEAT…
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire!


WE DANCE OUTSIDE OF THE TRADITIONAL
REALM OF TIME AND SPACE.
THE CROWD ERUPTS IN OUTBURSTS OF FREE-FORM MOTION
AS THE INTENSITY OF THE JAM PEAKS
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire!
MY BODY IS TRANSFORMED INTO A PINBALL AND
I RICCOCHET AROUND THE SPECTRUM
ARENA BOUNCING OFF THE FLASHING LIGHTS.
A CROWD OF DEADHEADS
SURROUND ME INTENT ON TELLING ME STUPID JOKES…
THEY JUST…know… THAT I WILL LAUGH…
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire!


THANK YOU DR. ALBERT HOFFMAN
***************************************
This was written after attending a Grateful Dead concert in JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I was sitting up above the crowd in the bleachers and could see the dancers move more enthusiastically during peaks of the music… less motion during gentle passages… as the dynamics of the improvisation ebbed and flowed, the dancers moved accordingly… like sea anemones moving in the currents of the ocean… I also mention the Spectrum in Philadelphia… It has many blinking advertisements for Atlantic city casinos in the area where refreshments were being served…

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, [Except Blacks and Women] that they are endowed by their Creator [Named Jesus, Allah, Yahweh, Odin, Thor, KRSNA, Buddha or a Thousand Other Names] with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” [Unless your Pursuit uses Marijuana or Psychedelics as a Sacrament]

"The Glazier with a Rock"
(a glazier is a person that replaces broken windows)

When I lived in Maryland in an apartment complex with 500 units there was a man who replaced broken windows... When there were no windows to replace he hired children to throw rocks thru windows... Then he had work to do and got paid for replacing the broken windows. This plan is not that unusual... I have heard that firefighters in Trinity County, California often are arsonists... Start a fire, get work as a firefighter...

"The Golden Spoon of Montezuma"

When Cortez arrived in Mexico, he was interested in GOLD. He also wanted to impress the people he met with how rich and powerful his KING was. He told an Indian that his King was so rich that he used a golden spoon for EVERY meal and then discarded it after he was done. His King was so rich that he could afford to THROW AWAY gold. The Indian was not impressed. The Indian said that HIS King was so rich that he could afford to use a NEW GOLDEN SPOON for EVERY BITE! How was this possible? Well, Montezuma used TORTILLAS for a spoon. He would scoop up his food using a tortilla chip (golden spoon) and so he used a new "golden spoon" for each bite. I love telling this story when I'M eating Mexican food at a restaurant.

"THE ORIGIN OF POPCORN"

Way out in the Ozark mountains Sandy Chapin built a house out of rocks.He found an old farmers fence that had fallen down and he just moved it onto his land and stacked it up. Near the front door he put two abalone shells. Here in California, abalone shells are quite common but out there in the Ozarks they caused quite a fuss. The hillbillies came from miles around to see the "pearls as big as a possum". Pretty soon rumors got around that the "pearls" were magic. Folks said that they helped the old folks with their bones on rainy days. You know how people talk around the stove in the general store. Tall tales indeed. They said it was a cure for Rheumatism and arthritis. Then the shepherds got into the act. When they get to talking the stories get exagerated all out of proportion.

Pretty soon animals were lined up down the road all the way to the creek. A mooing and a quacking like you never heard. Barking dogs and oinking pigs. But the old dog 'zeke just lay there on the porch. Night fell and the moonshine appeared. Who brought it? The moonshiners, of course. They cooked it in a still and squeezed the goodness out of the corn. By the light of the moon the corn sparkled. A wind came up and the stalks moved like they were dancing. Waves of motion like they were dancing to a string band. Somebody started a fire to bar b-q a pig and that's when things really started popping. You see, the wind blew the glowing coals out into the field and the cornstalks caught on fire. Pretty soon the whole field was in a conflagration and presto chango ... POPCORN!

Sandy is a real person and does live in the Ozarks with a dog, Zeke in a rock house...

Elon Musk Blames Trump for Inflation and Bank Failures... However, Elon is Totally Wrong!

DEBUNKED INFLATION CAUSE CLAIM: Federal spending on pandemic relief like Trump's stimulus payments, small business loans and childcare credits gave consumers too much spending money, and raised demand and prices for everyone...

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

However: "Inflation is global. There's been an acceleration of core inflation across every advanced economy, even the ones that did very, very little fiscal relief," he said. "And so I think the evidence linking specific Biden-era policies to the surge in inflation is just really, really weak."

https://www.npr.org/2022/06/29/1108388304/inflation-biden-fed-interest-ukraine-stimulus

Here is an excellent opportunity to TEST THE Bezos/Musk THEORY... If Prior Government Cash Giveaways ACTUALLY CAUSED Inflation... This one ought to CAUSE inflation ALSO... It's called Science... Repeat the experiment!

How to Whip Inflation Now 2022 - Problem: The Ruling Class Has Voluntarily Selected to Raise All Prices. What's the Solution? 

The People That Actually Set Prices at Corporations Do Math to Determine Just How High They Can Set Prices before Customers STOP Buying. The Goal is to Maximize Profits and, if Customers are Not Buying, the Prices are Too High and It's "ROLL BACK" Time. SO... One Way to Motivate them is to SIMPLY STOP BUYING... 

My Personal Boycott is to Stop Shopping at Amazon. I Cancelled my Prime Membership and Haven't Bought Anything in Months... Of Course, This is Not a Big Deal because I Already Have Everything I Want... Jeff Bezos Has Been Behaving Badly Recently and I Refuse to Fund His Plans.

How to Whip Inflation Now 2022 - by gvan42

Remember: The Trouble With Taking Economics Classes is That You End Up BELIEVING the Fantasies They Teach... Watch the Film "Boom Bust Boom" Instead... MUCH More Insightful... It Starts with a Quote by Alan Greenspan, former Chainman of the Federal Reserve Speaking of the Collapse of The Banking Industry in 2008: "There was a Flaw in the Model I Percieved is the Critical Functioning Structure that Defines How the World Works... So To Speak... " - and That's Why the "Free Free Free Markets Crashed in 2008... He Believed in a Fantasy... and the Banks Lost all their Money... and Obama Magically Replaced the Money for Everyone Except Lehman Brothers... SOMEONE Had to be the Scape Goat... However, CEO Richard Fuld Personally Kept Millions of Dollars and Has Come Back to Play the Stock Market Again... The OCCUPY WALL STREET Movement was In Reaction to This Bailout of the Super Rich...

Sally Said: "I believe It's Time to Actually DO the Things President Ford Suggested... Carpool, Plant Victory Gardens, Go on a Diet and Buy Less Food, Keep Your Cars a Few Extra Years... You Know, Common Sense Thrift." 

and Billy Said: "Nope. Not for Me... I just got this New Job at Higher Pay and I'm Just Going to Continue Shopping! I Can Afford It!" 

and Sally Replied: "Oh That's Great for YOU but I'm Actually Being Paid LESS than I was Before... Inflation is Greater Than Wage Increase... So The Bottom Line is... When I Go Shopping, I Come Home With Less." 

Boycott Everything Until Prices Go Down - meme - gvan42

and On FaceBORG:

SG Said: 
"That’s why throwing stimulus checks out by the trillions gets you votes in the short term but the consequences of doing so hurts the consumer in the long run." 

Really? Did the Stimulous Checks Actually Have anything at all to Do with Inflation? NO... That's Just a Billionaire "Talking Point" designed to distract the Public from the Actual Cause... Which Is: More people getting Higher paid Jobs. That Allowed The People that Set Prices to Raise Prices... Because People Can Afford To Pay More... 

Headline: Elon Musk has told Tesla employees to come back into their respective offices at least 40 hours a week or leave the company.

AW Said:
I think many will leave. Competitors are becoming way more flexible and it seems like a requirement in order to retain and win talent. On the flip side, the job market has cooled off quite a bit lately. I’ve seen many recent layoffs in tech…

I said:
MANY People will Question IF Tesla is the Best Place to Work. Should I Take a Job with a Shorter Commute? or No Commute at all? Reality: Driving in a Car 2 Hours a Day is a Horrible waste of Life. 2 Hours that you could use to do something Valuable... Like Playing with your Kids... or Learning to Play the Guitar... or ANYTHING!
