In More Detail... 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...  

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 

Wear Masks, Practice Social Distancing and Wash Your Hands. It's Not Complicated. meme - with AT&T Spokesmodel "Lily"

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.

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!

Here is an Insightful Zoom Meeting with Marianne Williamson (Presidential Candidate) on Saturday Night Alive for The Global Peace Tribe...

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"


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.

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... 


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
and then Victor Koman said: 
Gregory Laan — Wall Street and hedge-fund managers dumped a lot of money into Biden, not Trump (despite Biden falsely portraying himself as "Main Street" vs. Trump as "Wall Street"), so they are expecting to dig deeply into the taxpayers' pockets with both hands as their reward if Biden successfully steals the presidency. He is a fraud and a tool of the Ruling Class. And you were conned.
After four years of the left saying that the stock market's explosive rise under Trump was no indicator that middle-class Americans were better off, I trust that the same opinion will hold now?
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...

Generate Electricity and Clean Drinking Water AT THE SAME TIME. A Solar Powered Desalinization Plant Would Convert Seawater into Energy, Pure H2O and NaCl. Please Pass this Idea on to Your Elected officials... Massive Federal Funding Needed.

Diagram of How to Build a Solar Powered Desalinization Factory

There has been a LOT of Groundbreaking Engineering into building Desalinization Plants that use Solar Power to Pump the Seawater out of the Ocean and use MEMBRANE PURIFICATION to actually remove the salt... That's the same Reverse Osmosis Technology that is used at the Drinking Water Machines you see in front of Liquor Stores... 

Solar Oven by Humboldt State University's CCAT
https://ccat.humboldt.edu/




We ought to tell our Senators and Representatives that Solar Powered Desalinization is a Good Idea and a Practical Way to Solve The Problem of Not Enough Fresh Water for Drinking, Showering, Watering Crops, Filling Swimming Pools, Lawns and Making Ice Cubes for a Scotch on the Rocks... 

Maybe they just don't know...

Here are 20 Simple Ideas to make the world a better place to live...

1. We ought to build a giant solar power desalinization plant in Southern California. Convert Seawater into drinking water, salt and electricity.  It would use solar reflectors to boil seawater and create steam. That steam would be used to drive turbines and create electricity. When the water cools it condenses into pure H2O and salt. The water would be sold to people for drinking, washing, watering livestock and watering plants. The salt could be sold or returned to the ocean if there are not enough customers... Camp Pendleton near San Diego would be an ideal location. Southern California is in need of water. There is a current proposal to use pipelines to move fresh water from the Sacramento River to be used by farmers and residents in SoCal. An alternative would be to just get the water from the ocean... There is an engineering break thru using solar power to pump the water out of the ocean but using membranes to do the purification. That's the same technology that is used in those drinking water dispensers you see out front of Liquor Stores.

We should also stop watering lawns in California. It's a cultural norm that is not practical in a state that is suffering drought. What if it became fashionable to have rock gardens or cactus? That's what they do in Arizona...


2. Convert human fat into electricity using exercise bicycle power generators. The kinetic energy created by people pedalling can be converted into electricity by using an alternator, diode and battery. Many people use stationary bicycles for exercise and these currently unused sources of power could be used to create electricity. People could sell the electricity to the power company.

3. We ought to cut spending at the Department of Defense and use the money for valuable projects. Simply stop the wars in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Africa and all those secret locations. Bring the soldiers and the weapons home. We currently waste a vast fortune on wars that accomplish nothing. We could spend the trillions currently wasted on Medicare for all, infrastructure, teacher's salaries or school supplies. Remember that the US Military has not DEFENDED the USA since 1945. We have only invaded other countries... Often, our invasions cause disaster. For Example: When we helped Saddam Hussein become President and then blew up Iraq. Not a brilliant idea. Then we left stockpiles of weapons that were stolen by ISIS, Arming Terrorists. If we had just stayed home we could have saved six trillion dollars... The War in Afghanistan is impossible to win. Why not "Declare Victory", bring the troops home and have big parades?

4. We ought to legalize and tax marijuana nationwide. Release all cannabis prisoners. This would reduce government spending and increase VOLUNTARY taxes collected. The prisoners could spend their time working for a living and supporting their own families. That would reduce the costs of welfare and food stamps.

5. We ought to impeach Trump. He is taking the country in the wrong direction. His agenda is to cut taxes for the rich and reduce pollution control costs in corporations. He wants to increase drilling for oil, gas and coal mining. That causes more pollution. Burning fossil fuels causes global warming. Climate Change will make large parts of the USA uninhabitable. The Gulf Coast and the East Coast will have hurricanes every year. The destruction will become more than we are able to repair.

6. We ought to fund basic research into clean energy projects. Better electric cars, solar energy, wind energy and wave/tidal power plants. Better batteries... Better air conditioners... We are fighting for our lives. This should be funded like The Manhattan Project of World War Two or the Moon Landing.

7. We ought to reduce the amount of electricity used. Marijuana farms often use grow lights indoors to simulate sunshine needed for plants to grow. We could simply move all farms outdoors. These indoor farms often use stolen power that is unregulated. I have seen explosions at the Humboldt Bay power plant due to unforeseen surges of electricity use. The criminals tap the power on the street side of the power meter to avoid paying for electricity. That makes the power companies guess about consumption and how big transformers need to be. Another way to reduce demand is to teach people that transformers consume electricity even when not being used if they are connected to the wall outlet. We should teach people that a power strip with an on/off switch can cut their bill.

8. We ought to reduce the amount of gasoline used by commuters by moving the office closer to home. Every day people commute to work and if corporations moved the location of office buildings to residential locations, we would save gas, increase time spent away from work and increase happiness of workers. For Example: Silicon Valley and San Francisco have many jobs for people that create software. The tech corporations have headquarters where the employees work. People drive many miles thru traffic jams to get to those headquarters. A better plan would be to split the corporate headquarters to many different locations in the suburbs. The people could co-ordinate their labor using the internet. The price of housing in Silicon Valley is very expensive in comparison to towns in the central valley. People should pay attention to commute time as an important factor in selecting a job. Currently people pay attention to pay rate, benefits and child care when selecting which job to take. They ought to have a choice of shorter commutes as well. It's an insane waste of time to drive to work. Riding the bus is much more fun.

9. We ought to change the EPA from Enabling Pollution Agency to Environmental Protection Agency. Under the Trump Administration we have seen a reduction of enforcement of laws prohibiting corporations from polluting the environment. Scott Pruitt wants to cut the costs corporations pay for ecology. And in a bizarre twist, he wants to change the rules for scientific research to prohibit health studies that protect the privacy of the people studied. HIPPA requires health information to remain private in any study of people's health. He also wants to prohibit reports from scientists that do business with the EPA while allowing reports from people hired by lobbyists. This would shift the reports in favor of polluting companies.

10. We ought to outlaw assault rifles. We outlawed machine guns and hand grenades in 1934. There is no need for assault rifles. NRA members often say that they need guns for hunting... So, we ought to allow rifles but not assault rifles. NRA members often say we need guns to protect our families... So, pistols can protect our families. We do not need bazookas, rocket launchers or anti-aircraft guns... We ought to protect our citizens from insane gunmen with assault rifles. Las Vegas, Columbine and Florida would not have been a mass murder without absurd firepower. Remember, when you have a gun in the home there is an increase in the chances of a gun accident. Suicide, shooting a family member during an argument and kids playing with guns actually increase the danger at home. NRA members say that we need guns to defend ourselves from the government. In a "Police State" the government keeps the people enslaved by first, taking away all the guns. They point to the USSR as an example. However, the police and US Army have vastly superior firepower and any defense of liberty by We The People is doomed to fail. Remember WACO and Ruby Ridge?

11. Police ought to stop murdering black men. Not only is it morally wrong to commit murder but it costs the taxpayers a lot of money. There is very little murder of white people by police but the culture of the police force seems to encourage murder of blacks. We ought to replace metal bullets with rubber bullets in all of our police forces. Rubber bullets do not kill people but they do cause a suspect to fall down and become easy to handcuff.

12. Remove corporate money from politics. Individual real people should be allowed to contribute to candidate's election fund but artificial "people" like corporations should be prohibited. They are only used to allow rich people to exceed limits of how much money anyone can contribute. This leads to what is in effect bribery. Politicians do what they are paid to do... pass laws that benefit the rich at the expense of the middle class and poor. What we have now is one dollar one vote not one man one vote like the founding fathers wanted. PAC (political action committees) are another way to allow rich people to exceed limits.

13. Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics. Let Doctors and Patients decide what drugs are beneficial treatment. There is a body of medical research that says some illegal drugs help people with mental health problems. For Example: Terminally Ill people who fear their own death could be given psychedelics to ease their fear. That would be compassionate... What is gained by prohibition? The patients are going to die anyway... We simply do not know enough about health benefits to make an informed decision about medicinal psychedelics. We ought to learn.

14. Make companies that sell addictive opioid drugs pay extra taxes to fund treatment for patients that want to quit using their drugs. They caused a problem and profited by it... they should pay to clean up the mess.

15. We ought to take action to defend our elections. The Russians interfered with our election in 2016 causing Trump to win. Without Wikileaks, Trump would have lost. We also should stop using the electoral college. Majority Rule is a better system. Twice we have had the loser in the Presidential Election serve as President. Both times were disasters.

16. Free birth control and abortion for all. No one should be forced to give birth to an unwanted child. Choice should be available to anyone including people who cannot afford it.

17. Outlaw fracking. It causes drinking water pollution. The only people who benefit are the stockholders of oil companies. Water pollution causes health problems... real people get sick...

18. Outlaw ROUNDUP herbicide. It causes cancer. This chemical is widely used in the farming of California's central valley. Non Hodgkin's lymphoma is killing real people who work on the farms.

19. Close all Nuclear Power Plants. They create Atomic Waste that stays Radioactive for thousands of years. AND POISONOUS... The waste has to be stored safely and guarded to prevent terrorists from building a "Dirty Bomb" using the Depleted Uranium. Vast salaries will be spent on Armed Security Guards and warehouses.

20. Teach "Critical Thinking" in High School. Knowing when someone is lying to you is a valuable survival skill.
Introduce students to "Logical Fallacies" so they will be able to recognise them.

QAnon Sucks!

Solar Powered Drinking Water Systems Could Simpy SOLVE Southern California's Water Shortage. 

Convert SEA WATER into DRINKING WATER... 

Cheaper Than Piping Water from the Sacramento River in Northern California to LA.

HEADLINE: These solar-powered water purifiers can produce 30,000 gallons of water per day... This is "Off the Shelf" technology that people can simply Buy and Install... Purifies Water including Water from the Ocean... Why Not Install MANY of these Machines on Camp Pendleton near San Diego. There is PLENTY of Unused Land... and plenty of Thirsty People, Animals, Gardens, Swimming Pools...




HOW TO BUILD A SOLAR-POWERED WATER PURIFIER

BOOK: Solar Power Your Home For Dummies, 2nd Edition
By Rik DeGunther

Using the sun to purify drinking water is a great solar project for the do-it-yourselfer. A solar-powered purification system the size of a microwave oven can yield up to 3 gallons of purified drinking water on a sunny day.

HEADLINE: Standalone system to produce drinking water via solar energy
by Asociacion RUVID

Researchers from the University of Alicante's research group in applied electrochemistry and electrocatalysis have developed a standalone system for desalinating and treating water through electrodialysis. The system is directly powered by solar energy and can be applied in off-grid areas.

Designed only for desalinating water, it is a sustainable, eco-friendly technology powered by solar photovoltaic panels in a CO2-free process, thus not contributing to climate change.
