The politicians do not run America, the people do, and the politicians work for us.
On the issue of the homeless, Los Angeles County can learn a lot from Orange County on the issue of helping the homeless. And California can learn from Italy. Having private cheap hostels is the way to go, with surrounding businesses to provide necessities, laundry, a convenience store, a computer cafe, etc. The money can be given as grants to open those types of businesses quickly in the needed areas. The people of California are good people, and we want to help the homeless, and giving business grants to entrepreneurs to open hostels in needed areas, etc, is the way to go.
On the issue of our new immigrants on our Southern Border, we need to send union representatives to our Southern Border to set up offices with computers, etc, to tell our new immigrants where the good union jobs are. Our new immigrants can join the United Farm Workers, and they can join other unions. Our new immigrants can lay cobblestone streets, they can paint houses, and they can plant trees and they can pick fruit, etc. And we need to teach our new immigrants English, when they learn English then the whole world is open to them.
And as we rise out of this corona crisis, we need to make sure that we have equal access to business loans, and business grants, and redevelopment money, and that we have equal access for contracts for city projects, etc.
On the issue of clean public transportation, we need to hurry and build our high speed trains. I also like subways in urban areas. And the public buses need restrooms, like the Greyhound buses have. We also need to have armed security guards on the buses, to make it safe for women and children to travel.
Those are a few thoughts for today.
Oh, and should I do a "Go Fund Me" on the web to open a movie studio in Anaheim? I keep putting the idea out there to city officials, and to others, I would like to see Anaheim have a movie studio. Even just a small studio like Occidental in East Hollywood to start.
https://occidentalentertainment.com/Ronald Reagan said that you can do great things as long as you do not care who gets the credit, and I would love to see Anaheim get a small movie studio and it does not matter who makes it happen. There can also be production offices, and movie equipment rentals, etc.
Salute,
