GOP = Greed Over People

Everyone knows that the Trillion Dollar a Year giveaway to the 1% leaves the Federal Government without Money to Pay for Basic Services...

Even CZAR Donald says we can't afford to pay a RAISE to Federal Employees...

That standard COLA increase is used to keep PAYCHECKS as big as INFLATION. No one gets any more REAL money because retail prices are going up...

SO, When the Democrats take over the House and Senate... we need to Repeal and Replace Trump's Tax Cut for the Rich Law.

and then I read on FaceBorg...
Trump has too much control of the republicans and it’s dangerous
Strategic, surgical efforts by former President Trump’s campaign to overhaul obscure Republican Party rules in states around the nation, including California, have created an opportunity for the GOP front-runner to quickly sew up his party's presidential nomination.
The former president's aides have sculpted rules in dozens of states , starting even before his 2020 reelection bid. Their work is ongoing: In addition to California, state Republican parties in Nevada and Michigan have recently overhauled their rules in ways clearly designed to favor Trump.
The Trump campaign succeeded in changing the rules "in part because they knew what they were doing and in part because everyone else is asleep at the switch," Ginsberg added.
The changes could discourage campaigning and decrease voter participation , said Dan Lee, a political science professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
We cannot allow this deranged man in the White House again or we will have a dictatorship and no more democracy

and then I read on FaceBorg: SE Said...

I see a lot of posts where people think it's absolutely hilarious that people "used to" print out directions on Mapquest rather than just using GPS to direct them everywhere. I find this to be slightly offensive, because some of us prefer using maps. I don't like relying on GPS to direct me everywhere. I prefer having a paper map to refer to. I particularly hate the sound of the computerized GPS voice, especially if I'm riding with someone else and we're trying to have a conversation. A paper map won't interrupt your conversation, but an obnoxious computer voice can totally derail your train of thought. Also, for me, it really helps to see an actual map of where I'm going because it gives me the layout of the area, and I'm able to figure out how to get around a lot easier than if I just blindly follow a computer voice's turn-by-turn directions. I actually prefer REAL maps. I have a collection of AAA maps which I love to look at, and I still have several old Thomas Guides.
For example: how could anyone possibly learn the layout of the San Francisco Bay Area by relying on GPS? Without looking at an actual map of the bay, you'd have no way of knowing if you're in the South Bay, the East Bay, or the Peninsula. The GPS will just tell you where to turn, and then you'll be going alongside the bay somewhere, but how would you even know which side of the bay you are on? Using a regular map makes it clear which side of the bay you're on!
It's weird that some people act like maps are some relic from the distant past which nobody uses anymore. Maps are an important tool in learning the layout of an area, and that has not changed. Maps are not going anywhere.

and I Replied:
When I worked at Domino's Pizza we had a Map of our delivery area that was SIX FEET TALL and Twelve Feet Wide... Because we REALLY wanted to know exactly where to deliver the Pizza. and We Wrote instructions on the wall map (watch out for dog - DO NOT Turn Right at the bottom of the Hill because the owner will fire a shotgun warning blast ETC ETC)

Do Something About Climate Change. Drive Cars Less. Stop Flying in Jet Airplanes.

People Driving to Work in Cars is the Main Cause of Climate Change. The Next Time You Change Jobs, SERIOUSLY Consider Commuting a Shorter Distance as the Main Factor of Which Job You Take. Remember: Commuting an Hour a Day is an Hour of YOUR LIFE That is Wasted... and Lost Forever... an Hour You COULD HAVE Used to Play with Your Children, take a NAP or Watch TV... Learn to play a Musical Instrument... Write that Novel... ANYTHING is Better than Sitting in Traffic! AND... You are NOT Getting Paid for that Wasted Time!

What IF... We Moved "The Office" from Downtown to Vacant Stores nin The Mall? In General, Shopping Malls are Near where People Live... and Downtown is a Nightmare Commute...

Flying in Jet Airplanes is an Insane Way to Spend your Vacation Time... We had a ZOOM Christmas Party... and Got to Socialize with the Family Without the Madness of Airports... We Had a ZOOM Wedding too! The Church has a Youtube Channel for Broadcasting the Sermons and They Let Weddings Use That...

Paris Left Bank Literary Promenade – Tracking The Lost Generation

They changed modern literature. Lost Generation writers like Ernest Hemingway, F Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, George Orwell, and even William Faulkner flocked to Paris after World War I, lured by cheap accommodation, free-flowing alcohol, and a booming artistic scene. Let's follow in their footsteps on a Paris promenade to visit the apartments, hotels, restaurants, and bars they frequented and where they helped to create the Left Bank literary scene.

The only Time I Speak of France is When I Hashtag the Start Date of the Revolution: #France1789

La seule fois où je parle de la France, c'est quand je hashtag la date de début de la révolution : #France1789

J'écris rarement sur la France... Sauf quand j'admire la Révolution française et la solution guillotine à la guerre des classes... Nous avons un problème de guerre des classes ici aux États-Unis... Les milliardaires achètent des sénateurs, des membres du Congrès et des gouverneurs - et la seule tâche pour les dirigeants "élus", c'est PLUS de réductions d'impôts pour les riches...

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

I Rarely Write about France... Except when I admire the French Revolution and the Guillotine Solution to Class War... We Have a Class War Problem here in the USA... Billionaires BUY Senators and Congressmen and Governors - and The Only Task for the "Elected" Leaders is MORE Tax Cuts for the Rich... More Federal Subsidies and Fewer IRS Audits...

TAX the RICH - Cut Taxes on the Rest of Us... It's Called Bubble Up Economics. Raise the Minimum Wage to $15.00 and Increase All Social Security Payments 15%... We Promise to Spend the Extra Money at American Businesses... Increasing Profits! Everybody Wins!

Nobody Drives Anymore - Too Much Traffic. It's the actual BURNING of Gasoline that Causes Climate Change. Question IF we really need to do all that traveling. Why not stay home and just visit people and places in Online?

I saw a fine TV Show about Amsterdam. Most people ride bicycles there. That lifestyle can work in small cities. It looks like that's a Wonderful Place. Healthy Happy People. I wonder what they do on Rainy Days or in the Snow... The TV Travel Shows always happen on a Sunny Spring Day...

I do not own a Car. On the rare Occasions that I Go Out, Someone else drives. UBER or LYFT. It's wonderful to No Longer have a Car Payment or a Car Insurance Payment or to Have to Buy Gas...

Reality is that places like Los Angeles have become an Insane Nightmare World... The Bubonic Plague is Starting to Become a Major Problem There. Since Rent is so high, thousands of people are homeless and RATS are a big part of that community. Rats that carry Bubonic Plague. It's Like a Crazy Doomsday Science Fiction Novel except it's real and happening now.

Well, it's only going to get hotter and more crowded... People dying from Heat Exhaustion and No One Bothering to Move the Dead Bodies.

Take this moment to ESCAPE the city and Move North. The Coast of Oregon and Washington State seems like a VALID place to live. Assume that Hurricanes will continue to Devastate the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida and all the way North to Boston. The Midwest will be doing Tornadoes and the Southwest is Just Too Damn Hot. California Burning... Over 100 Wildfires are Burning Right Now. Alaska, Idaho, Colorado... and in the Cities, traffic jams all day long on the freeways... ESCAPE! Become a Country Cowfreak!

People PRETEND That it's ExxonMobil's Fault That Fossil Fuels are Causing Climate Change. Well, we also are a part of this Disaster... BUYING GAS AND DRIVING ALL OVER THE PLACE... I did it. But after I retired I live a "MATRIX" type of life. Indoors most of the time watching TV or On The Internet... I Go out for a Walk every morning but It's Just Too Damn Hot in the Afternoon...

Support the United Auto Workers Strike! Refuse to Buy a New Car from General Motors! (As If Anyone Has Money to Buy a Car in this FAILED Trump Economy...)

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...

Music Video: "Wilson Bridge" written and sung by Greg Vanderlaan

https://youtu.be/cDAE0H0tGhg

This Song is all about the depression caused by commuting to work by automobile over the WILSON BRIDGE. Eventually I got Fired at work for showing up late... Traffic Jams ended my Job... also a satire of the self help slogan... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89mile_Cou%C3%A9

(Lyrics)
Wake up early in the morning, (CHORDS) D C
gotta go to work. G D
gotta drive across that Wilson Bridge, D C
my mind it just starts to hurt. G D

10,000 fools in 10,000 cars, D C
cross it every day. G D
as I sit behind my steering wheel, D C
I know there's got to be a better way! G D

CHORUS:
Because every day in every way, D A C G
life gets more annoying. D C D
every day in every way, D A C G
life gets more boring. D C D

I escaped from D.C.
and I burned my car.
Ride the light rail in San Jo se.
It's better by far.

10,000 fools in 10,000 cars,
still drive every day.
writing lyrics on this magic train,
I know I've found the better way!

The Country of Luxembourg just Made All Public Transportation FREE. To Help With Auto Traffic Jams.

https://futurism.com/luxembourg-public-transportation-free

The initiative could decrease traffic while helping the environment... Luxembourg has the highest car-to-person rate of any nation in the European Union: 662 cars for every 1,000 people. Nearly 200,000 people from the neighboring nations of France, Belgium, and Germany commute into Luxembourg for work. Every day, the population of its capital city swells five-fold due to commuters. The hope is that eliminating all fees for public trains, trams, and buses will encourage more people to use those service. Not only would that decrease personal vehicle traffic, it would also be better for the environment.
