WORKPLACE FATALITIES RISING UNDER TRUMP OSHA AS ENFORCEMENT DECLINES

Washington, D.C.—Workplace fatality investigations are at decade-high levels under the Trump administration, at the same time that worksite safety enforcement by the administration’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration is steadily declining, according to an analysis of recent government data released today by the National Employment Law Project. The data also revealed that OSHA now has the lowest number of health and safety inspectors in the agency’s 48-year history.

After 11 continuous years of increase, America’s life expectancy decreased from 78.9 years in 2014 to 78.6 in 2017.

 Since 1999, the country’s suicide rate has increased by 33  percent. The CDC reports that in 2017 alone, 47,000 Americans committed suicide, while another 70,000 people died from drug overdoses, 80 percent of which were related to opioid abuse.

Economics professors Anne Case and Angus Deaton first discovered a disturbing trend among non-college educated, working class, white Americans in 2015; they were dying prematurely at astonishing rates.

The overall results show a nation where well-being is in sharp decline. From 2016 to 2017, America saw its largest year-over-year drop in well-being in the 10 years that Gallup has tracked these data.

Life expectancy tied to voting choices in last U.S. presidential election.
Voters in counties where life expectancy has declined in recent years were more likely to vote for Trump, a new study suggests.

How to save A LOT of Electricity and help prevent Global Warming... It's EASY!

Simply MOVE all marijuana farms OUTDOORS and grow the plants in the Sunshine instead of using Gro-Lights. Currently there are thousands of clandestine farms indoors using millions of fluorescent lights... The electricity that powers those lamps is often generated by burning natural gas or coal... Creating greenhouse gasses that cause Global Warming and Climate Change. For Example: All farms in Colorado are indoors... wasting electricity.



Another simple thing we could do is MOVE the Workplace closer to where people live. Many people work at office jobs... AND... Offices can be located in the anywhere. For Example: Google, Facebook and Twitter are all located in the Bay Area... those jobs could be done in Chico, Eureka, Sacramento or Mendocino where house prices are lower and there are fewer traffic jams... Current employees that own a house could sell their house for a Million Dollars and then buy a similar house for $300,000... AND PUT $700,000 IN THEIR POCKET.  Quality of life is better without a two hour commute in traffic jams. We have the technology to move corporate headquarters to locations close to where people live. Simply map where the employees live move the workplace. That would save a LOT of Gasoline and Improve the people's mood leading to higher productivity.

Another simple thing we could do is convert Exercise bicycles and treadmills into electricity  generators. Millions of people visit health clubs every day. Why not create electricity on the gym machines? Simply spin an alternator using the kinetic energy created by burning Human Fat. Sell that electricity to PG&E or SoCal Edison.
