Cut Your Gasoline Bill in Half! Ask Me How... Click Here!

Simply Drive Half as Far... Remember: Every Time you Start the Car You CAUSE Climate Change... Ask Yourself: Do I Really Need To Drive This Trip? REALLY? Couldn't I Substitute a ZOOM Meeting for a Face to Face Meeting? 

OR Ride a Bicycle... It's the Actual BURNING Of Fossil Fuel That is the Problem... 

Ride a Bicycle - It's FUN! Just ask Dr. Albert Hoffman...

or Ride a Tricycle... or Just Don't GO Places... One Thing We ALL Learned During the COVID 19 Pandemic is... There isn't really that much need to GO PLACES...

and then I Read Online: 

MD Said: At my daughters house in Bakersfield. Time for my 2 mile walk, I get lost no worries I have GPS, pull out my trusted I-phone put in the coordinates and off I go, it is so fricken hot in Bakersfield, 5 minutes on my journey IPhone conks out and I get a message IPhone needs to cool down grrrr

and I Replied: I had no idea that iPhones FAIL in Hot Temperatures! That's Totally Unacceptable... When I walk around I carry one so IF I FALL DOWN I can call for help... I also take pictures of Flowers and Clouds BUT... The Main Reason is Safety... but I Never go Out when it's Hot. I Can do a Walk at Dawn in the COOL and Listen to the BATS...  

In the Late 1970s I worked at a Computer Company that made communications gear for the USAF... ALL Equipment Must Prove that it worked at High Temperatures and Extreme vibration... Because... In an airplane, it gets hot and things shake... WHY CAN"T APPLE JUST MAKE STUFF LIKE WE DID 50 Years Ago?

Pink Floyd REALLY Ought to Put "THE MACHINE" On Tour Again... It is the Light Show & Lasers at a Small Basketball Arena while they Played a Recording of a Live Concert... In the Early 1990s... It Cost $5.00 and I Had a Great Time! It was Exactly Like a Rock Concert Except the Actual People Did Not Stand on the Stage... WELL... BIG FUN!

“This sixty-year campaign to make libertarianism mainstream and eventually take the government itself is at the heart of Democracy in Chains. . . . If you’re worried about what all this means for America’s future, you should be.”NPR
 
An explosive exposé of the right’s relentless campaign to eliminate unions, suppress voting, privatize public education, stop action on climate change, and alter the Constitution.

Behind today’s headlines of billionaires taking over our government is a secretive political establishment with long, deep, and troubling roots. The capitalist radical right has been working not simply to change who rules, but to fundamentally alter the rules of democratic governance. But billionaires did not launch this movement; a white intellectual in the embattled Jim Crow South did. Democracy in Chains names its true architect—the Nobel Prize-winning political economist James McGill Buchanan—and dissects the operation he and his colleagues designed over six decades to alter every branch of government to disempower the majority.

Piñata Economics vs the Trickle Down Theory


CLEAN AIR AND WATER ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO AMERICAN VOTERS and Trump is Causing a Disaster that will do Harm for Decades, maybe Hundreds of Years.

 His campaign consultants told him that he is unpopular with Young People and Women... Therefore, today he made a speech with Cabinet Secretaries Perry and Wheeler telling lies to the People of the USA about how wonderful their Environmental Policy is. FACT CHECK: IT IS NOT WONDERFUL!

CNN and MSNBC are NOT reporting about the Extinction Rebellion Protests in London... Their Corporate Masters Don't Want You to Know about 480 People Being Arrested in a Climate Change Protest... Fight Censorship... Write a Blog...

I assume that the reason Corporations that sell Cars, Prescription Drugs, Booze and Insurance do not see a Profit in Ecology... If you are a person that Drives a Car Less... there is no great incentive in Buying A Brand New Ram Tough Truck! With a Magic Folding Tailgate... Eco-Warriors ride the Bus... 

Headline: Greta Thunberg hopes to join climate protests during London visit.

Swedish 16-year-old, who is taking campaign to parliament, keen to be part of Extinction Rebellion action.

Opinion: Hambach Forest a battlefield for the planet's future It is sacred ground. German Tree Sitters Protest Lignite Coal Mine.

https://hambachforest.org/  

What’s all this about?

The Hambach Forest, which one could call the last “primeval” forest in Central Europe, is being stubbed for Europe’s biggest climate pollutant – the Rhenish lignite mining area of RWE (Rheinisches Braunkohlerevier), in which RWE mines brown coal. Whole villages and the health of human beings are destroyed in this process.
To prevent all of this we squatted the Hambacher Forest and take part in other effective and direct Actions. Join us!

It must be left standing as a monument to our folly — and our ability to shift course and do the right thing, says author and environmental activist Bill McKibben.

Nearly a half-century ago, a young American army officer named John Kerry returned from his tour of duty in Vietnam to testify before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. After detailing the atrocities, the injustice and the pointlessness of the war, he said: "We are asking Americans to think about that, because how do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"
The activists who have been occupying the remaining hectares of Germany's Hambach Forest, it seems to me, are asking a similar question that should shake consciences in our time. What will be the last pieces of European nature destroyed in pursuit of what we now recognize to be a monumental error — in this case not a colonial war, but the pursuit of cheap energy even at the cost of destroying the planet's climate?

https://www.dw.com/en/german-search-engine-ecosia-offers-to-buy-hambach-forest/a-45818935 Berlin-based search engine Ecosia has offered to buy Hambach Forest from energy company RWE. The threatened woodland has been the scene of sometimes violent clashes between police and anti-coal activists.

Scott Pruitt is afraid to fly coach on airplanes because the other people hate him and attack verbally... [The Head of the Environmental Protection Agency]

He has to fly First Class because the Rich People like him and do not threaten him... It's true that HE is opposed to Protecting the Environment and is a paid puppet of Corporations that want to save money by removing regulations that require that they dispose of toxic waste responsibly. It's more profitable to pollute. During the Trump Era over 700 employees have resigned at the EPA... AND... none have been replaced. Trump's mission is to dismantle the EPA and increase profits for the Stockholders of Polluting companies. For example: Monsanto sells a lot of ROUNDUP herbicide in the USA and IT IS A KNOWN CARCINOGEN. I see Lawyer advertisements on TV often that ask if you want to sue Monsanto for damages to your health... A class action lawsuit of the victims of environmental disaster. They show a map where ROUNDUP was sprayed and California's Central Valley was colored in... Real People are getting sick... Mostly Hispanic Farmworkers... Corporations feel that it's more important to make a profit than save human lives... Especially Hispanics... And if those people complain, Trump will send ICE out to harass them with threats of deportation. Why does Trump hate Mexicans so much? Immigration and Customs police have dramatically increased the number of arrests. AND... Trump CAUSED the DACA problem. He intentionally repealed Obama's law that protected "Dreamers"... Why? And why has FEMA failed so badly in Puerto Rica? Did Puerto Ricans Mug Donald as a Child in Queens? Is that why he hates them? Or was he a member of the "JETS" street gang just like in the Musical "West Side Story"?

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.

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
