I am tired of the streets being full of homeless mentally ill people.
And when my ancestors came to California during the Great Depression, they all picked fruit, and then my Grandmother got a job at the original McDonald's in San Bernardino. Americans from all over the USA came to California during the Great Depression and they picked fruit.
The USA is the land of opportunity, and California is the land of opportunity within the land of opportunity. People from all over the world come to the USA for opportunity, and people from all over the USA come to California for opportunity.
So, what we have now is people sitting around homeless in the land of opportunity.
I would rather pick fruit than sit around homeless. We need to get the homeless people working planting orange trees and picking fruit like in the old days, and now it is better because we have the United Farm Workers union.
And we have vineyards, and the wine country is a beautiful area to live, Napa, Sonoma, etc, are beautiful places. We need to bring back dignity for workers, there is dignity in working any honest job. And I even thought about going to Italy and getting a job as a farm worker at a vineyard in Tuscany, for the chance to live and work in Italy. There is no shame in being a farm worker.
Of note, there is still a little bit of the Entertainment Industry left in Hollywood, and a new apartment complex is being built for homeless actors, more of this kind of thing needs to happen. People need to work together to bring the Entertainment Industry back to Hollywood, and the people in the Entertainment Industry need to help each other, as is being done with the Actors Fund and new housing for actors.

And we need for people to feel the duty to create jobs here in the USA instead of sending all of the jobs to other nations.
And we need to stop making heroes out of heroin addicts and out of other people who are selfish and who are not doing anything to help other people. Society needs to pick better people to be heroes.
Also, we need to save our children when they are young, and we need to guide the children in the right direction, and the children who are the smartest need to be guided into Medical careers, etc, and into careers in Science curing diseases, etc. The best and the brightest need to feel the duty to help those less fortunate (as the Christians are supposed to do).
The Entertainment Industry was supposed to show good role models, and heroes, but instead they are making heroes out of the bad guys like the Joker. And in the old days they hired actors like Paul Newman to play convicts, now they just hire real ex-convicts. Instead of hiring an actor to play a gang member, they just hire a real gang member. We need for new people to rise to the top in the Entertainment Industry.
A lot of changes need to happen.
We need for the best and the brightest to rise to the top and to create a better world. The way the USA is right now is unacceptable. And we need to have more colleges, and fewer prisons.
Salute,
Tony V.
