What is Bubble Up Economics?

How Does it Work? Simply Raise the Minimum Wage to Fifteen Dollars an Hour. 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

66  Million Dead Trees pose a Fire Hazard in California. Fortunately, we have Many BIOMASS Power Plants that are able to Use the Dead Wood to Create Electricity... A Practical Alternative to Coal, Nukes or Natural Gas. Sadly, the Federal Subsidies that Fund the Biomass Power Stations have dried up and MOST of California's Biomass Power Plants Have Been Closed, due to Market Conditions... Endangering People and Animals to Wildfire Hazards. SEE: https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/Turn-California-s-dead-trees-into-electricity-9204001.php

And then SE said:
I get really sick and tired of people bashing California and saying things that aren't true. Yes, it's extremely expensive to live here, and yes, there are a lot of homeless people here, and yes, that's a bad thing. But it's NOT TRUE that our streets and sidewalks are covered with human waste. I realize that homeless people living in encampments don't usually have access to a proper bathroom, so they have to go somewhere, and that's not good. But they're not just using the streets and sidewalks everywhere. That is ridiculous, and it's a lie being perpetuated by right-wing media...but other people are hearing that lie and repeating it as if it's the truth, but it's not. If you listen to right-wing media, they'll lead you to believe that the streets of San Francisco are covered with feces and syringes and that there's tons of crime everywhere, like some kind of war zone or something. But every time I go to San Francisco, it looks exactly the same as it always has. I've never seen human waste anywhere on the streets or sidewalks of San Francisco or San Jose. I'm not denying that it's probably there somewhere, probably in areas with the biggest homeless encampments. But unless you're walking through an encampment, you're not going to see that. San Francisco is a beautiful, vibrant city with a lot of energy and a lot of interesting things to see and do. It's not some filthy war zone, and it gets really tiring having to explain that to people who blindly believe everything they hear on Fox news.
From what I've been told by multiple different people, homelessness is a problem in big cities all over the US right now. The right-wing media loves to focus on San Francisco, and they love to say that it's only cities run by Democrats that have homelessness. But from my understanding, this is absolutely not true. Big cities all over the country are dealing with homelessness, and it has nothing to do with whether or not the city is run by Democrats. Again, this is a right-wing LIE.
The only thing wrong with California is overcrowding. This is due to too many people wanting to live here, and we just don't have room for so many people, so the cost of living keeps going up and the homeless population continues to grow. Many people think the solution to this is building more housing. I have mixed feelings about that, because they ARE building housing on every available piece of land, and yet the cost of housing continues to go up. Every new high-density apartment building is more expensive than the last. So basically, what they're doing is building housing that only the wealthy can afford. If they would actually build housing which is affordable to lower-income people, then maybe I'd agree that it's a good thing. But endless luxury housing is not helping the situation.
Bottom line: people want to be here. They can't build housing fast enough to keep up with demand, and it doesn't matter how expensive the new housing is, people always pay whatever it costs because that's how badly they want to be here. Do you think people would be willing to pay $5000 a month for an apartment if the streets were really littered with human waste and syringes? If that were true, CA would be a barren wasteland of empty apartments because nobody would want to live in such a filthy place. But it's NOT filthy. It's beautiful and desirable, and that's why people are willing to pay so much to live here. Don't believe the right-wing LIES.

Does Anyone Remember "Youth Walks for Survival" - An Ecology Fundraiser in Berkeley, CA in 1970. We asked Sponsors for a Nickle per Mile (or a Dime) and Hiked 20 Miles...

We Started at the Football Stadium on the UC Campus then Walked around Lake Merritt in Oakland and then Back to The Stadium. The Last Part was Uphill and a Real Struggle...

I Wonder Who Got the Money We Raised and What they Did With It...  I was a High School Student in Los Gatos (about 50 miles away) at that time. Did We Rent a Bus? Carpool?

After We Finished the Walk There was a Concert With Malvina Reynolds Singing "Boxes, Little Boxes" 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cjk0zst3Cs

Lyrics: Chords: E, A, B7

Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes all the same

There's a pink one and a green one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same

And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same

And there's doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same

And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school

And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same

And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same

There's a pink one and a green one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same

https://revolution.berkeley.edu/declaration-of-interdependence/

Cliff Humphrey both drew upon and utterly revised the “Declaration of Independence” to create this crucial founding document of the environmental movement. With its calligraphy, the “Declaration of Interdependence” looked like Thomas Jefferson’s document, and with its syntax it sounded like it too. But Humphrey’s manifesto suggested that the world needed to break with the attractive illusion of “independence” and be governed by a new principle—”interdependence”—if it wished to be aligned with the laws of nature.

Full Text of “The Declaration of Interdependence” 

When in the course of evolution it becomes necessary for one species to denounce the notion of independence from all the rest, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the interdependent station to which the natural laws of the cosmos have placed them, a decent respect for the opinions of all mankind requires that they should declare the conditions which impel them to assert their interdependence.

We hold these truths to be self-evident that all species have evolved with equal and unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

——— That to insure these rights, nature has instituted certain principles for the sustenence of all species, deriving these principles from the capabilities of the planet’s life-support system.

——— That whenever any behavior by members of one species becomes destructive of these principles, it is the function of other members of that species to alter or abolish such irrelevant behavior and to reestablish the theme of interdependence with all life, in such a form and in accordance with those natural principles that will effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that cultural values long established should not be altered for light and transient causes, that mankind is more disposed to suffer from asserting a vain notion of independence than to right themselves by abolishing that culture to which they are now accustomed.

——— But when a long train of abuses and usurpations of these principles of interdependence, evinces a subtle design to reduce them, through absolute despolation of the planet’s fertility, to a state of ill will, bad health, and great anxiety, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such notions of independence from other species and from the life-support system and to provide new guards for the reestablishment of security, and maintenance of these principles. Such has been the quiet and patient sufferage of all species, and such is now the necessity which constrains the species homo sapiens to reassert the principles of interdependence.

——— The history of the present notion of independence is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations all having in direct effect the establishment of an absolute tyranny over life. To prove this let facts be submitted to a candid world.

——— 1. People are proliferating in such an irresponsible manner as to threaten the survival of all species.

——— 2. People have refused to recognize that they are interacting with other species in an evolutionary process.

——— 3. People have fouled the waters that all life drinks of and they have fouled the air that all life partakes of.

——— 4. People have transformed the face of the earth to enhance their notion of independence from it and in so doing have interrupted many natural processes that they are dependent upon.

——— 5. People have contaminated the common household with substances that are foreign to the life processes which are causing many organisms great difficulties.

——— 6.  People have massacred and extincted fellow species for their feathers and fur, for their skins and tusks.

——— 7.  People have persecuted most persistantly those known as coyote, lion, wolf, and fox because of their dramatic role in the expression of interdependence.

——— 8. People have warred upon one another which has brought great sorrow to themselves and vast destruction to the homes and the food supplies of many living things.

——— 9. People have denied others the right to live to completion their interdependencies to the full extent of their capabilities.

We therefore, among the mortal representatives of the eternal process of life and evolutionary principles, in mutual humbleness, explicitly stated, appealing to the ecological consciousness of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do solemly publish and declare that all species are interdependent, that they are all free to realize these relationships to the full extent of their capabilities; that each species is subservient to the requirements of the natural processes that sustain all life.

——— And for the support of this declaration with a firm reliance on all other members of our species who understand their consciousness as a capability, to assist all of us and our brothers to interact in order to realize a life process that manifests its maximum potential of diversity, vitality and planetary fertility to ensure the continuity of life on earth.
