What We Learned from tRUMP's Coronavirus. Working From Home is Great! We Save a LOT of Time and Money Spent Commuting.

Our Corporate Masters Have Resisted Working From Home for Decades BUT... Now That Everyone Has GRASPED the CONCEPT They Have Realized that they Can Save a LOT of Money That was Wasted RENTING OFFICE SPACE. 

Everybody WINS! Traffic Jams Will Be Reduced Whenever a Person Simply Refuses to Go To The Office. Less Air Pollution Caused By Automobile Exhaust. Less Global Warming... and People Get to Spend More Time Doing Useful Tasks... Like Playing With Your Own Children... OR... Writing the Great American Novel... OR... Gardening... Dancing... Knitting... Blogging... Driving in a Car to Work IS A TOTAL WASTE!

Sadly, MOST Jobs Do Not Offer the Option of Working at Home. Clerks in Stores, Waiters, Cooks, UBER Drivers, Factory Workers, Nurses, Doctors, Garbage Men, Fishermen, Loggers... Only Office Workers Can Have a Home Office... 

and the People on Facebook Commented:
JC: we have learned that it's the working people who make the world go round not the billionaires who sit in air-conditioned offices. we the people are not willing to die so that they can have a better quarterly earnings report.

SG: America is doomed, and people deserve their leaders.

CS: Keep TP handy.

SR: Trump will sacrifice all of America for himself.


BAH: That the earth was starting to repair itself in many places because places were not congested. Which is why I don’t want people out ruining the planet.

Did You Know That FRACKING IS INSANE? It Costs More Money to Get the Oil Out of the Ground Than They Can Sell it For. They Lose Money on Every Barrel... HOWEVER, The US Government SUBSIDIZES Fracking... The Entire Business Plan is DO SOMETHING as an excuse to SUCK MONEY FROM THE TAXPAYERS. Welfare for the Rich!

A Vote for Trump is a Vote for More Air Pollution, More Water Pollution and More Oil Spills... He Cut EPA Budget, Hired a Coal Lobbyist to Head the Agency and Increased Fracking, Oil Well Drilling On Public Land...

Trump has Changed the Environmental Protection Agency into the Enable Polluters Agency...

President Donald Trump made a pledge in his 2017 State of the Union address to "promote clean air and water," but his administration has reversed or proposed rollbacks to major air pollution protections, emissions standards and drilling and extraction regulations. He's also slashed the EPA budget; the current proposal is to cut the budget by a third.

Climate change garners most of the headlines, but the Trump administration is pushing a much larger and broader pro-pollution agenda whose latest manifestation is a push at the EPA to overturn a long-established scientific consensus that fine particulate pollution (colloquially “soot”) kills people.

All of a Sudden NO ONE IS FLYING IN JET AIRPLANES. That's GREAT because Jets POLLUTE The AIR Causing Global Warming... Remember Greta Thunberg's Sailboat Ride to New York? She Refuses to Fly and Now... EVERYBODY REFUSES TO FLY.

It seems like Everything about the Culture of the Internal Combustion Engine is Going Crazy these Days. Notice a TREND? Consider:
1. Global Climate Strike 9/20 and Shutdown Washington DC 9/23 Civil Disobedience - Traffic Block.  
2. Saudi Arabian Oil Refinery on Fire - Price of Oil Goes UP! 
3. UAW Labor Union Strike. 
4. Oil Tanker Hijacking in the Middle East. 
5. New Car Sales Down Nationwide. 
6. Global Warming Causes Wildfires in Alaska, Siberia, Brazil and Indonesia. 
7. Climate Change Causes Massive Hurricanes... Now Spawning Tornadoes! 
8. Endless Traffic Jams in Every City... Gridlock All Day Long... 
9. Gas Powered Leaf Blowers Outlawed in Many Cities... GET A Freaking RAKE! No Gas Required! 
10. Construction of the "BIG U" Dike in Manhattan, NYC to Prevent Flooding Due to Rising Sea Level. Real Estate becomes Worthless when the Streets are Under Water... 

Remember: When You Drive a Car, You Choke Greta Thunberg...

"We Need More Air Pollution!" says Trump... as the EPA Legalizes Release of Methane by Oil Companies. "Corporate Profits are More Important Than Breathing." [Not Actual Quotes - Just The Real Meaning of His Actions]

Addiction Free Living thru Christianity... Might Work for Someone? One time I became addicted to Crack Cocaine and then I went to a Baptist Church. I told the Preacher Man that I Had a Problem and he said: "Why Not Give Your Addiction to Jesus?" and so, One Man talked into my ear in tongues and the other said a Prayer in English and then... I never used Cocaine again... Later that evening I went to the Pink Floyd "Welcome to the Machine" Concert. A Show at George Mason University Basketball Arena where they Played recordings of a Concert while the Laser Lightshow filled the Arena with Light... Exactly like a Rock Concert except the Actual People were missing... but from way back in the audience, so what? That show kept my mind occupied while I suffered thru the withdrawal Symptoms (I Guess)... 

SO, If You Want to Become a Former Addict, Why Not Give Your Addiction to Jesus? What is Kinda Odd About My Story is... I'm Not A Christian... I'm More into GAIA... BUT, I Did "Go Forward" Once at A Baptist Church and They Say If You Truly Accept Jesus, You Are Part of the Flock Forever... Even After Death... Might Be True... NO ONE KNOWS! And If They Say They Do, They are Lying to Themselves and You.

Everyone should cut Joe Biden some slack... So What! If He Can't Tell Heroic War Stories Accurately... Forgive Him... He is Really, Really, Really OLD and His Brain Just Doesn't Work that Great Anymore. What is more troubling to me is his LIFETIME OF BEING WRONG ABOUT EVERY ISSUE EVERY TIME. Hopefully, if he becomes President, He Hires Elizabeth Warren to Do His Thinking FOR HIM.

TRUMP OWES AN APOLOGY TO JAMES COMEY.


DOJ Decides to NOT Charge FBI Director James Comey With Any Crime. Do They Owe Comey an Apology? Sorry, You Got Fired for No Reason... OOPS... 



DOJ IG "found no evidence that Comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the memos to members of the media." I don’t need a public apology from those who defamed me, but a quick message with a “sorry we lied about you” would be nice.


And to all those who’ve spent two years talking about me “going to jail” or being a “liar and a leaker”—ask yourselves why you still trust people who gave you bad info for so long, including the president.

Trump's EPA plans to relax Laws about Mercury Pollution from Coal Fired Power Plants. Our Health is not as important as Corporate Profits...

People familiar with History remember the "London Fog"... People burnt coal in their heaters and the air pollution cause countless deaths... "The Great Smog of London, or Great Smog of 1952, was a severe air-pollution event that affected the British capital of London in early December 1952. A period of cold weather, combined with an anticyclone and windless conditions, collected airborne pollutants—mostly arising from the use of coal—to form a thick layer of smog over the city."


https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-epa-coal/trump-administration-reconsiders-rule-on-coals-mercury-pollution-idUSKCN1LE2TV
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said on Wednesday it was reconsidering part of an Obama-era rule on emissions of mercury from coal-fired plants, in the latest move by the administration to ease regulations on an industry important to President Donald Trump.

https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2018/1/26/16936104/epa-trump-toxic-air-pollution
The Trump administration is lifting key controls on toxic air pollution. The EPA says its reading of the Clean Air Act means polluters can be held to lower standards.


Even though his Own Children Breathe, Trump Plans to relax Air Pollution Laws on Coal Fired Power Plants Allowing more Poison into the Air.

One "Feature" of Trump's Plan is to allow individual states to write their own air pollution laws... However, the wind blows air pollution across state borders... and across national borders... and across oceans... we are all one beneath the infinite sun.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/epas-response-obama-climate-policy-includes-fewer-restrictions/story?id=57288446

The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday is expected to formally announce its replacement for the Clean Power Plan, a signature policy designed to fight climate change that was supported by President Barack Obama.

The new plan will include measures aimed at making it easier for electricity produced from coal to compete with natural gas and renewable sources, such as eliminating rules that would require coal plants to install pollution-reducing technology, according to The Wall Street Journal, which received an advance copy of the plan.

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-says-windmills-are-bird-killers-he-tries-revive-coal-industry-1079910

Trump’s remarks came amid new plans to replace Obama-era climate policies with new regulations devised to ensure coal-burning plants run harder and operate for longer, leading to more harmful emissions.

One Way to Prevent Global Warming is to Stop Flying in Jet Airplanes and Reduce Driving in Cars and Trucks. Why Go Anywhere Anyway? Is that Trip REALLY Necessary?

Jet Airplane Travel really Pollutes the Air. Simply Question WHY are you Traveling? Why not use a PICTURE PHONE on the Internet to see your Family... Question What Type Of World We Are Leaving To Our Children.

California Burns Every Summer Now. Last year it was Santa Rosa... This Year it's Redding... People Die, Homes are Destroyed...

I see wildfires in all the western states... Colorado, Oregon Washington... Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico... and all these wildfires send pollution into the air making Global Warming worse...

Before I turn the key in the car I ask myself... Why Am I Going?

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.
