A Simple Way to Save Electricity in Buildings. Allow Windows TO OPEN so that Outside Air Can Freely Blow In... Allow Humans to Control the Thermostat. #Activist #Ecology #Environment

About Half the Time, the Weather Outside is Fine... No Need to Run an Air conditioner OR a Heater... Just Leave those Machines OFF, Using Zero Energy. Just Open a Window and Enjoy the Fresh Air...

In Modern Office Buildings The Windows Do Not Open and The Thermostat is Set by OSHA Regulation.

I worked for Years in an Office Where the Thermostat was Locked inside a Box to Prevent Employees from Changing the Temperature. OFTEN The Setting was WRONG and People took Action to Correct it.

On Days that It was Too Cold... and The Air Conditioner was Blowing Cold Air... People Turned on SPACE HEATERS under their desks... REALLY! This Situation caused Extremely Large Energy Bills... We Were Using Power to Heat AND Cool The Air at the same time... CRAZY! On Days that it was Too Hot and the Heater was Blowing... We Ran Small Electric Fans that blew on us as we were sitting at our computers... We Were Using Power to Heat AND Cool The Air at the same time... CRAZY!

and... We Found that The Plastic Box Around the Thermostat Could be Defeated Using a Fingernail File... Look at YOUR Thermostat in YOUR Office... so we changed the temperature AND NEVER TOLD THE BOSS... "It's Magic! I Have NO IDEA How The Thermostat Changed... " and It's a Classic Example of a MAN designing a Machine and TOTALLY FORGETTING THAT A COMMON TOOL could defeat the Machine... Because Only a WOMAN has a Fingernail File in her Purse... HA HA!

Adobe Houses are Very Energy Efficient and Quiet. Thick Mud Walls stay Cool in the Summer, Warm in the Winter. AND THEY RESIST FOREST FIRES...

When we rebuild Paradise and Santa Rosa, California it might be an Opportunity to Use Smart Design Ideas. I remember going inside the Mission Santa Clara on a Hot Summer Day... It was Cool... and Dark... Stained Glass Windows...

Built over 200 years ago, it has withstood Earthquakes. Especially 1906 San Francisco and Oakland During the World Series Baseball Game...

Solar Powered Street Lights Would Save a LOT of Electricity Currently Being Generated in Coal, Natural Gas and Atomic Power Plants and Distributed Using the Grid. WASTEFUL and DANGEROUS... POWER LINES CAUSE FOREST FIRES.

Nothing NEW Needs to Be Invented... We Ought to Simply Replace the Millions of Old Style Street Lights... With Solar Cells and LED Lamps... The Concept of Generating Power in One Central Location and Distributing it to the User is Quite Wasteful... Some Electricity JUST VANISHES over the Long Distance... and DANGEROUS because the Wires Start Forest Fires... PG&E Power Company Just Burned the Entire Town Of Paradise, CA... and It Caused the Company to Go Bankrupt. Distributing Power From a Central Generator is an Obsolete Idea. What if Every House had Solar Panels on the Roof That Provided Enough Electricity to UNPLUG FROM THE GRID...

'BURN IT ALL DOWN' Angry leftists threaten violence if GOP replaces Justice Ginsburg before election – as AOC urges Dems to pack the court

LIBERAL writers and academics have threatened to burn down Congress if Republicans press ahead with plans to appoint a new Supreme Court judge before the election.

A former CNN host was among prominent figures who appeared to encourage violent uprising following the death of left-wing hero Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Justice Ginsburg's death on Friday left a vacancy on the Supreme Court - setting up an explosive battle over one of the most contentious issues in American politics.

Democrats are furious after Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell suggested the GOP would hold an early vote to confirm Donald Trump's pick to replace her with a conservative.

Outspoken Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez even suggested Democrats would try to pack the court with liberals by increasing the number of judges from the current nine.

As fury raged in Washington, high-profile leftists hinted at violent insurrection in posts on social media.

Trump-bashing former CNN presenter Reza Aslan tweeted to his 293,000 followers: "If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f***ing thing down."

Screenwriter Beau Willimon, who produced House of Cards and is the president of the Writers Guild of America, East, also vowed action.

He told his 164,000 followers: "We’re shutting this country down if Trump and McConnell try to ram through an appointment before the election."

'THERE WILL BE RIOTS'

Emmett Macfarlane, a professor at the University of Waterloo in Canada, tweeted: "Burn Congress down before letting Trump try to appoint anyone to SCOTUS."

Political commentator Laura Bassett, who writes for GQ and the Washington Post, said: "If McConnell jams someone through, which he will, there will be riots."

Daddy Files author Aaron Gouveia tweeted: "F*** no. Burn it all down."

Last night Ocasio-Cortez said Republicans were "violating" Justice Ginsburg's dying wish that she should not be replaced until the next president is sworn in.

The firebrand congresswoman stoked the row still further by saying Democrats should “absolutely” consider packing the court.

She said: “We should leave all options on the table, including the number of justices that are on the Supreme Court.”

Democrat nominee Joe Biden is due to make a speech on the subject later today, but has so far resisted Trump's call for him to name his own shortlist.

President Trump has appointed two Supreme Court judges in his first term - tipping the panel to a 5-4 majority for conservatives before Ginsburg's death.

He said yesterday he would seek to nominate a replacement "without delay" and said a woman will be top of his list.

Trump said: "We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United States Supreme Court Justices."

Sen. McConnell said Trump's nomination would get a vote in the Senate, where the GOP's majority could seal the appointment before November.

But Republicans were accused of hypocrisy after they blocked a vote on President Obama's pick for the Supreme Court shortly before the 2016 election.

Leading senators including Lindsay Graham were savaged for apparently going back on promises they made four years ago.

He said in 2016 that the appointment should be left to the incoming president and said the same rule would apply if a vacancy arose at the end of Trump's first term.

Joe Biden was also accused of U-turning after saying in 2016 that Congress had a "constitutional duty" to fill the vacancy even before an election.

He tweeted after Ginsburg's death: “Let me be clear: The voters should pick a President, and that President should select a successor to Justice Ginsburg,”

Conservatives are keen to appoint another right wing judge to the lifetime position, creating a 6-3 dominance that could last decades.

Liberals fear such a one-sided panel could reverse decades of progress on civil rights such as abortion laws.

Trump is set to name his pick in the coming week and already has shortlist in mind, according to reports.

In a phone call with McConnell on Friday night, Trump indicated he favored two women in particular, sources told The Washington Post.

Judge Amy Coney Barrett and Barbara Lagoa are now tipped as the front-runners.

The DOJ Opinion is ONLY an Opinion and Should Be Reviewed By The SCOTUS... After All, Did The Founding Fathers Expect a Total Criminal to Steal the Presidency?

"The indictment or criminal prosecution of a sitting President would unconstitutionally undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions." REALLY??? YOU'RE JUST JOKING AREN'T YOU?

Government watchdog Group concludes Trump administration broke law by withholding Ukraine aid...

https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/16/politics/gao-report-administration-violated-law-withholding-aid/index.html

The Government Accountability Office said the Trump administration broke the law when it withheld US security aid to Ukraine last year that had been appropriated by Congress, a decision that's at the heart of the House's impeachment case against President Donald Trump.

The GAO, a nonpartisan congressional watchdog, said in a decision issued Thursday that the White House budget office violated the Impoundment Control Act, a 1974 law that limits the White House from withholding funds that Congress has appropriated.

Zoning Laws seem very strange, quaint and Obsolete. It days gone by it made sense to have Smokestack Factories in a different location from Homes. Now it just means we all have a long commute to get to work... at office jobs...

Maybe we should recycle all the abandoned shopping malls and turn them into light industrial office complexes. Those long commutes in cars release a lot of exhaust that causes Global Warming.

"Make America Greta Again" - Climate Change is Real and Caused By Human Behavior... Here are Some Simple Things We Can Do To Help Prevent Disaster.

Drive Cars Less. WAY Less... The Next Time You Change Jobs, Select a Location NEAR HOME to Reduce Time and Money Wasted Commuting to Work... I was Lucky Enough to Be Able to Ride the Bus to Work in Both Eureka and San Jose, California... It was a LOT of Fun Chatting with the Other Bus Riders... Especially the Beautiful Women... You Can't Do THAT is a Car...

Stop Flying in Jet Airplanes. Is There REALLY a Need to FLY? Where are You Going that Couldn't Be Done Using a Picture Phone??? Do Your Business Meetings Online... and Try Your Next Vacation Near Home... Maybe Camping in the Sierras??? Or Hiking the Appalachian Trail???

Eat Fewer Hamburgers... A LOT of Global Warming is Caused by Cows... Maybe Those Meat Alternative are worth Checking Out? OR... Maybe Just Enjoy those Ancient Meals Like a Falafel? Middle Eastern Pocket Bread, Ground Garbanzo Bean Mash Deep Fat Fried, Lettuce, Onions, Tomatoes and INSANELY HOT SAUCE!

Stop buying New Clothes... Every Time You Buy New, a Corporation Collects Raw Materials, Employs Slaves in Asia to Make the Garment and Ships them By Boat Half Way Around the World and then Drives Them in Trucks to You...

Three of My Clients DIED While I Was Working at the Welfare Office in Eureka,California... Here are Their Stories... They Shouldn't Be The Forgotten People.

One was an Old Drunk. He Died while sleeping Outdoors in the Rain under a Bridge. He was well known and loved by the Police and the people that ran the Eureka Rescue Mission. It seemed that he spent one third of his time incarcerated at the County Jail, one third at the Mission and one third drunk. As soon as he was let out of Jail he would come to the Welfare Office and we would sign him up for Housing and food and then we called the Mission... They Invited him over for A Hot Meal and OFTEN He walked the 10 blocks without going to a Liquor Store and Often He would Just Get Drunk and Pass Out on the Sidewalk... to be picked up by the Police... and Incarcerated Again...

The Second used our Transportation Assistance Program to Buy Enough Heroin to Kill Himself. The way T.A.P. Worked was that IF a Person found themselves Broke, Unemployed and Homeless in Humboldt County, We would buy them a ONE WAY BUS TICKET HOME... They had to have a place to stay when they got home (like their Mom's or Wife's House) but we would buy them a Greyhound Ticket and Food for the Journey... Often Teenagers would Come to Humboldt County to Work as Farm Laborers in the Marijuana Harvest. Criminals hired many "Trimmers" to remove the unsellable parts of the plant from the valuable BUDS. Then when the Harvest is over, Everyone was laid off and all those teenagers need to go back to Beautiful Tennessee or Texas or Wherever they Came from... It was a big adventure for Kids Nationwide to live like an outlaw in Humboldt County,California... However, if you owned a CAR, we would buy you Gas and Food for your Journey... So, Robert Owned a Car and a Driver's Licence and We paid him Thousands of Dollars to Buy Gas All they way to South Carolina... He Drove about 50 Miles to a Remote Farm and Bought Heroin... then when he overdosed, the Farmers dumped the Body on the Side of the Road near a Gas Station...

The Third was VERY Annoying and Rude Whenever he came into the Office. An Angry and Offensive Client. We were paid to tolerate all types of clients at the office... HOWEVER, he did that behavior out in the real world and a guy who worked at the Cannery stuck him with a Filleting Knife... The Police Caught the Killer. Everyone knew exactly when he was stuck with a knife and so the Police Subpoenaed the film from all security Cameras in Eureka for One Hour before he arrived at the Hospital. And there he was getting into a Yellow Chevy outside a Store in a Rough Part of Town... where they film robbery suspects shopping... The Police asked around and found out WHO Owned Cars like that and Interviewed Them... and the Owner just happened to be Incarcerated at the County Jail on different charges... While being Questioned he Confessed to the Murder

A Fourth Client was applying for Social Security Disability (Someone else's client)and when her claim was awarded the SSA sent her $10,000 of back pay. She was a diabetic. She Purchased a Motel Room and a Fifth of Vodka and Housekeeping Found Her Body the Next Morning... Evidently, Diabetics Should Not Drink...
