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.

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…

"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...
