NASCAR is INSANE. Pointlessly Driving in Circles Creating Air Pollution and Helping Cause Climate Change. What The F*CK is That All About?

NASCAR is INSANE meme - gvan42


Car Races are as Crazy as the "Trucker's Convoy" driving Across Country to Drive around and around and around the Washington DC Beltway protesting Wearing Masks To Prevent Disease... and then they were Surprised to see Endless Drivers Flipping them the Bird as They Drove By... HONK HONK! uckFay ouYay ruckerTay uckersFay Shouted The Average Joe!

Trucker's Convoy Pointless Failure meme
This Photo shows the Old Executive Office Building on Pennsylvania Ave Right Next to the White House... Washington DC... The Tourists were Impressed... "Look Mom! There's a Protest Going On!" and Little Sally asked "What are they Protesting?" and Dad Said: "I Don't Know But... I Support The Troops!"

That Entire Era of Celebrating Car Culture is Fading Away... and Flying in Jet Airplanes TOO...
During the Sixties it was Quite Fashionable to be Part of the "Jet Set" - I flew with my Parents on Family Vacations... Hawaii, Washington DC, New England... However, I Have not Flown in over 20 Years. The Last time was a "Meet the Inlaws" Trip when I first got Married to my Second Ex-Wife. 
2001? It was Fun because we went to the Original DuPont Factory where they Ground Gunpowder... and the Franklin Museum in Philadelphia...

and People "Went on Tour with The Grateful Dead" - Really! - I personally Have driven from Washington DC to Pittsburgh or New York City just to Go to a Concert... and Other People Drove all over the Country in Old Hippie Buses That got terrible gas mileage... Remember Ken Kesey and The Magic Bus named Further?

Car Races on Saturday Night at The Fairgrounds? Tractor Pulls? Drag Races? The Movie "Easy Rider?"(celebrating the Freedom of Smuggling Illegal Drugs and Having Money and Taking a Bike Ride Across Country and Hiring Hookers and Eating LSD) "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac? Cruising on Main Street to Meet Other Teenagers?
"Paradise by the Dashboard Light" a song by Meatloaf...  about Sex in a Car... Taking a Sunday Drive with the Family... all of that is in the Rear View Mirror and is Fading Away...
Ecology Meme Monster Truck

Believe it or Not: The STURGIS Motorcycle Rally is ON for this Summer... Last Year it was a superspreader event and thousands of bikers got Coronavirus There and then Spread it to their Friends and Family... FUN! 

Car Culture Has Pretty Much defined the USA in the Last Hundred Years... Did you know that there were Trolley Cars in Los Angeles a Long Time Ago? That way people could travel all over town without taking their own Horse... All the Trolley Car tracks were removed to make room for automobiles... 
Los Angeles Cable Car
and now there is an Insane Traffic Jam Everywhere all the time! Is That Progress? Or Just Profit for Corporations that Sell Cars and Gasoline? 

The way it works is Super Rich people own those Corporations and they Buy Politicians that write Friendly Laws... That Benefits those Rich People...

Fracking Diagram
Did you ever hear of FRACKING? That's a way to get oil out of the ground by forcing water deep into the Earth... anyway... It costs more to extract Oil using that process than the Company Can Sell the Oil For... They Lose a Little Bit of Money on Every Barrel... But they Get a Government Subsidy that Allows them To Make a Profit... Fundamentally, the Fracking Technique is a Tool to EXTRACT MONEY FROM THE US GOVERNMENT!

and Oil gets into the drinking water of the people that live near a fracking well... and those people also shower in poison... so just buying bottled water is only partially effective... because the toxic waste seeps into your body thru the skin... CRAZY!

"I blame the internal combustion engine for the warming up of our atmosphere." - Said JH - 

I Replied:  Methane is a Serious Problem Too:

Cow farts... Pig Farts too... Really... Eating Meat Causes Global Warming... The Farming of Meat Causes More Greenhouse Gasses than All Cars and Trucks COMBINED... HOWEVER... I'm going to Continue to Eat Meat... and Cheese... and Ice Cream...  Maybe Switch to Impossible Burgers or Beyond Meat... But I'm Keeping the Ice Cream and Cheese... 

https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/vegan/

JH SAID: Greenhouse gasses yes, but the internal combustion engine takes in cool air mixes it with fuel and dumps hot air out the exhaust, and there are millions and millions of them running 24/7 365 days a year.

I replied: I Have Driven a Car Just for Fun... a LOT... Often We would from Washington DC Travel to New York City Just for Something to Do on a Friday Night... 

NOW... I Don't Own a Car... and I only go to Doctor's Appointments Via LYFT... At 67 Years of age I'm Not Motivated to Travel... BUT... 

Millions of People Drive Every Freaking Day to Get to Work... Sometimes Huge Distances... People Drive from Sacramento to a Job in San Francisco... CRAZY... But People Have to Work and The Jobs are NOT Located Near Homes... and YET... We Have Abandoned Shopping Malls near Homes... and Tech Companies COULD Relocate to an Empty Store...

RB Said: Airplanes and coal fired power plants have gigantic carbon footprints 🙄

I Replied: I have not Flown in a Jet Airplane in Over 20 Years... I Had to Meet my In-laws soon after I Married their Daughter... I was Living in Eureka, CA and They Were in Delaware... I can't Think of ANY VALID EXCUSE NOW for Flying in a Jet Airplane... ZOOM is Good Enough for me... 

I Believe We Will FAIL to Avoid Climate Change and Temperatures of 130 Degrees Will Become Common in The Western USA... and Our Climate Will become Similar to Saudi Arabia... after all the Trees Burn... Sorry to be "Debbie Downer" but MY PLAN is to Move to The Coast of NorCal or Oregon... or Canada... or Alaska... It's Cool and Rainy There... Arcata and Eureka Have the Best Chances of Avoiding Wildfires That will Burn the Rest of the State... Maybe Not This Year but Certainly During My Lifetime... 

Just Fleeing North is a Great Plan Until... WE RUN OUT OF NORTH! Eventually, The Only Place to Live Will Be The North Pole AND THEN WHAT?

The IMPORTANT question about climate change is: "How do we stop it?" NOT "What caused it?" We need to DO something... Not argue about why...

While Climate Change Deniers distract us from the REAL question... EPA is helping the Fossil Fuel industry pollute the world... Let's stop mining COAL and let's stop Burning Oil... Let's stop FRACKING...

The answer is SOLAR and WIND power. Close all COAL fired Power Plants.

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.

The IMPORTANT question about climate change is: "How do we stop it?" NOT "What caused it?" We need to DO something...

Will Defeating the Oligarchs Be Easy? Of Course Not...

If there was ever a moment when progressives needed to communicate our vision to the people of our country, this is that time. Despair is not an option.


As we enter this new year, it’s important to reflect upon the reality that we are living in a pivotal and volatile moment in American history. Within that context our job is not only to understand what’s happening all around us, but to determine the best way forward to create a nation and world that benefits all people, not just the wealthy and powerful few.

And right now, the defining issue of our time is that we are moving rapidly toward an oligarchic and authoritarian society in which billionaires not only dominate our economic life, but the information we consume and our politics as well.

Economic Justice: The Federal Minimum Wage is $7.25 an Hour. He proposes that be Raised to $15.00. When he first started Talking about this "Everyone" said that it was a Radical Idea and Would NOT Work. However, Now Most People think it's Entirely Fair... 

AND... He convinced AMAZON and Disney Raise all their Employees Pay to $15.00/Hour. 

Criminal Justice: 2.2 Million People are Incarcerated in American Prisons and Jails... More than any other country on Earth. The fact sheet then looks at the prison population by offense - where almost half of individuals in the federal prison population are there due to a drug related offense. 

Legalize Cannabis Nationwide, Tax it, and Release all the Cannabis Prisoners. Save Money Currently Wasted on Law Enforcement and Incarceration.Collect VOLUNTARY Tax Revenue... I won't pay a penny in Marijuana Taxes because I don't Smoke...
