Biden is trying to lower the price of meat and poultry in the USA, and my advice is to support the little guys in Nevada, and in other states, and give business loans and training to people who want to go to Nevada and be a rancher. They can raise pork for San Francisco, etc, in Nevada. And business loans and training needs to be given to people who want to raise chickens and produce eggs, etc. It is all about supply and demand, if you want to bring down the price then you increase the supply by bringing in new ranchers and by expanding existing ranchers and by supporting our little ranches in Nevada, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

TonyV,  since you brought up this supply & demand theory:  In 1975 , the US population was 215 Million and US hospitals had over 1.5 M beds.  In 2020, US pop. over 330M, the number of beds
shrank to 900K.  How do you explain that?  Are Americans so healthy the demand for beds has
Dwindled?  Please explain how this works again!

The Philippines will save us. I have a wonderful doctor from the Philippines, he is great. We can welcome people from the Philippines to come to the USA and to go to medical school here, and they can become doctors here.

Also, the Navy trains doctors in Pennsylvania, the doctors can be quickly trained and then sent wherever needed.

Then too, as we send our people to community college, some people will go on to become doctors and scientists and teachers, etc.

We also need psychiatrists, and crisis intervention specialists.

Salute,

Tony V.

Well, Tony, I asked about the shortage of hospital beds, not doctors.  But your answer seems always the same.  Someone else will save us: the King of Spain, the people of the Philippines,etc.
(I do wonder though how the Philippians remember the King of Spain, but that's another question for you not to answer.) 

As for nursing homes....I suggest you visit one and find out what your future holds for you!
Good luck, dreamer!

If we provide a good support system for the people from the Philippines to become doctors in the USA, then we can have great doctors, the Romans had Greek doctors and we can have doctors from the Philippines.

As for me, I never had a chance, my father died when I was 9 years old, I was always poor, and no matter how hard I worked I could never earn any money, and I did not have a good support system, my family was poor, and my uncles did not have a father either and people gave them free drugs and turned them into drug addicts and criminals, they spent their whole lives in prison, and finally one of my uncles committed suicide here in my apartment. I did not have anyone to put me through college, I did not have a support system, and I am color blind so the military was never an option. I was born and raised by Hollywood so I tried to make it in the Entertainment Industry, we have movie studios here, and I went to community college and to the AADA, but I never made it. Hollywood is sending all of the jobs to Canada now, it is hard to get a job at a movie studio in Hollywood even if you were born and raised in Hollywood. My Brother married Roy Rogers' granddaughter, but I guess Roy did not like me, he would not even refer me to an agent to get acting work or to a studio for a studio job. Anyhow, I could not even make it as an actor, much less a doctor, I might have been smart enough to be a doctor but I was poor without a father and without a support system, and people were trying to turn me into a drug addict or a criminal instead of sending me to college to be successful.

I never had a chance, but if we support the people from the Philippines and put them through school to be doctors in the USA then we can have good doctors. We need to provide a support system for the best and for the brightest so that they can become doctors and scientists and teachers.

I am just a loner, with no support system, I was homeless out on the streets clean and sober and begging for honest work here in the USA for 2 years here in Hollywood with an AA degree and with training at the AADA. I never had a chance, but we can provide support for the people from the Philippines and we can nurture good doctors. If we want good doctors then we need to support and train them.

As for me at this point, my best chance is to make it as a writer, and to get my poetry book published. And maybe make it as a filmmaker. We will see. But, there is no way I could have became a doctor, there was no support system for me. If you want to train doctors then you need to support the smart people when they are young and nurture them as they become doctors.

And here in the USA as we send our people to community college, if we have people who are smart enough to become doctors, then we need to support and nurture them and put them through college to become doctors. They are not going to become doctors if they are out there homeless and hungry on the streets like I was, we need to support our best and our brightest and we need to send them to school.

Salute,

Tony V.

Quit poormouthing and whining all the time.  Maybe that is why Roy Rogers didn't like you.  You go around with this ENDLESS negative story and you keep feeding that low self-opinion with repeating all the rough patches you went through.  The rough patches and the uncles AREN'T YOUR FAULT.  Shit happens.  Focus on the dreams that can be practically realized, like taking a writing workshop and really honing one of your hard luck stories into a script.  Or volunteer at a homeless shelter and use that experience to develop story ideas, and maybe develop some skills that could get you an entry level job in social work that helps pay the bills until you can get that script polished up.

Begs the question, why didn't more of the officers simply open fire?

We did not understand then the way we do now the imperative of shooting certain republicans on sight.

We thought of them as crooked bastards not brutal madmen, but since they have shown us, now we know.

If we want to lower the price of pharmaceutical drugs, and invent new drugs quickly, then companies such as Amgen need to build laboratories in the Philippines and schools need to be built in the Philippines to teach the people of the Philippines how to be scientists and how to invent new drugs, etc. The people of the Philippines can also manufacture existing medications at a lower price. Amgen and others need to invest in the Philippines, and the government of the Philippines needs to use tariffs on imports to build colleges in the Philippines, etc.

Salute,

I tried to go get a job in Italy, at Cinecitta, but I could not get hired. I would love to have a night club in Rome, Italy, and then I could save and invest from there. Rome is the same price as Hollywood.

And I am a great guy, and it is not always about what you do, but it is also about what you do not do. I am not an illegal drug dealer, and I am not a pimp, and I am not a cop, nor a border patrol agent nor ICE agent, nor am I a prison guard. There are many jobs that I will not do. I will work for free to feed the homeless, but I am not going to be a criminal, nor a cop nor a prison guard. Their whole bullshit system of building a prison in the middle of town and locking people up is bullshit, and I will not be a part of it.

I have my book, and my movie script, and more ideas. And yes, I can always take classes to learn more and to meet women.

And I cannot drive anymore. I was a limousine driver in Malibu, but now I get panic attacks when I drive. And my eyes are bad as I am getting older. I do not even own a car anymore.

I can teach people on-line, or I could be an on-line crisis intervention specilalist, or maybe I can make it as a writer and poet, we will see. And maybe I can find a good woman to write with.

Yes, I need to keep a good attitude, and have gratitude for the things that have been good and for being fortunate in many ways. I was able to spend one year in Malibu, living right on the beach, you could see the ocean from our rose garden. I need to try to focus on the good things. And I will not find a good wife if I have a bad attitude. I need to keep a good attitude.

Salute,

Tony V.

I could do on-line Small Business Management Consulting, I studied that in college, my professor trained young Black men in Compton about how to start their own small businesses, and then when their businesses were successful they all took a trip to Africa together and the young Black men all paid for their own expenses, etc. I was taught how to teach other people how to be successful. I can do that on-line.

I am also trained on other things, I could easily become an on-line crisis intervention specialist.

My easiest job was working as a valet / doorman for Suzanne Pleshette, they paid me to stand at the door and to park the cars. Zsa Zsa Gabor used to come hang out with Suzanne Pleshette, and other stars. I was friends with Hal Needham who directed "Smokey and the Bandit" and other films, Hal was a great guy. I met a lot of great people when I worked for Suzanne Pleshette.

Salute,

There may be more ignorant people in the US Senate, but Johnson will put up a good fight for the title.

If I was a professional on-line Small Business Management Consultant then all of the small businesses would be altruistic.

In Small Business Management Consulting class in college I was assigned to a swimming pool supply company, and my advice to them was to be altruistic and help the neighborhood and then the neighborhood would support you. I told the company to sponsor a little league baseball team, and to do other good things in the community. In my book the good guys win.

News Item



Six members of the advisory board that worked with President Biden during his transition period before taking office are now calling on him to take a different approach to the COVID-19 pandemic than the one he is currently using.


What approach is that?,
