Matzerath (REDSTATEWARD) simply lacked judgment even though he always thought highly of himself

I hope his screams can't shatter glass.

We need to build housing like crazy to get our homeless people into housing, and for our new immigrants, and for future needs.

We can put all of our architects to work, plus we can train new architects, and we can bring in architects from Spain and from Greece, etc. As they graduate from architect school then we can put them to work. ( And it would be fun to design a neighborhood, and I would love to design a piazza, I have seen piazzas in Rome that were done by Michaelangelo, the Piazza Camplidoglio, and other great piazzas, I spent 6 weeks in Rome, I could design some cool stuff, they should let me design a neighborhood here in Anaheim. ) Building and creating is fun, people need to have fun and people need to build great stuff as we build.

The workers need to all join unions, and the workers need to all receive great pay and great treatment. The workers from our Southern Border can join the unions to find out where the jobs are, and there can be buses to take the workers to the areas where the jobs are, and there is Greyhound, etc. The workers from our Southern Border can join the unions to find out where the jobs are, and they will be guaranteed fair pay and good treatment.

Also, we can use the trades to help to reform our troubled people. People can learn the trades in prison, and when the prisoners get out they can join groups such as Homeboy Industries, and Habitat for Humanity and they can learn how to build housing, etc.

We can also teach the students in High School the trades so they can go right to work when they graduate from high school. And teens can be apprentices.

We need to build like crazy, and it will be good for us to build because we need the jobs, and it is fun to build if you decide to have fun and build cool stuff, creating stuff is fun.

And then the stuff you build takes on a life of its own, housing is for people to enjoy, and we need tennis courts and swimming pools, etc, and outdoor barbecues, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

A lot of people are coming out of college deep in debt and many are unable to find work in their field, so they are ending up homeless with bad credit. And they may even try so hard to be a good person and repay the debt that they have a nervous breakdown and end up in the hospital from exhaustion and end up mentally ill and disabled.

If you become disabled from mental illness then your student debt will be forgiven, and they will not take away your disability money that you need to live on, and you can get Section 8 housing assistance, etc.

It is hard being out there homeless on the streets, and being an honest hard working person makes it even harder, and being in debt for job training and for an education makes it even harder, and then you get bad credit so it seals your fate as living in poverty.

Some thoughts on how to rise above it all...

Write books which are about your area of expertise.

People can also create television shows about their area of expertise. Etc.

People also may need to travel in order to find work in their field of expertise.

And people can also examine the condition of the world and they can see how they can help to make the world a better place by contributing via their field of expertise.

Salute,

Tony V.

The most successful, happiest friends who I had were ones who were on a mission to help other people. So, one needs to resist the urge to turn inward during hard times, and one needs to focus outward on how one can contribute to society then one can find their role to play in the world. The answers are not found by looking inward, but rather by looking at the condition of the world and finding your place in it.

And you cannot judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree. A person who might not be great at one thing might be awesome at something else. People just need to find their groove.

So now CNN finds out why  it is shedding viewers.


Doctors and scientists do not get to decide for everybody in a democracy what policy is going to be and we do not blindly follow. Because, frankly, they have one particular perspective.
For example, in their case, it is: minimize the spread of this disease, which is the most important objective. It is absolutely the one they should have. But it is not the only one.
We also have an economy that we have to think about. And if you say that you can slow the spread of this virus by 15% by shutting down the entire economy and putting 50 million people out of work, we would say that is not a risk/reward ratio that makes sense. And that is why everybody needs to be involved in this.
I quote Clemenceau, who during World War I, said, war is too important to be left to generals.
Well, pandemics are too important to be left to scientists.
It is not that their perspective is not important, probably the single most important one. But there are other issues you have to think about. You have to think about what is the price of shutting down a society, shutting down an economy, putting people and kids out of school, and you have got to balance the two.

  And that is  why, ultimately, in a democracy, this has to be done by all of us, not just by the experts.

I hope Josh, Twitter, Facebook, MSNBC and Google are taking note.

- to propose  to take what is being offered

Nothing real is being offered.

The goal posts have been moving constantly.

Slimmed down, supposedly - heh

Election Day as a federal holiday.
Online, automatic, and same-day voter registration.
A minimum of 15 days of early voting, including during at least two weekends.
No-excuse mail voting with ample access to ballot drop boxes and online ballot tracking, in addition to streamlined election mail delivery by the US Postal Service.
States would need to accept a wide range of forms of non-photographic identification in places where ID is required to vote. 
Counting eligible votes on provisional ballots cast in the wrong precinct.
Restoring voting rights to formerly incarcerated people convicted of felonies.
Imposes stricter regulations on voter list maintenance that make it harder for states to remove eligible voters from the rolls.
More protections and resources to serve voters with disabilities and overseas/military voters. 
Greater federal protections and oversight for voting in US territories.
Improving voter registration resources and outreach, in addition to reauthorizing and strengthening the US Election Assistance Commission.

Red has perfectly encapsulated why right wing broadcasters must be shut down and made to fulfill the rest of their contracts as Wipeout contestants, jobs to which they are almost qualified.

If you want the opinions of doctors and economists you are still consulting scientists in professions that are governed by scientific method on both counts.

How do we stop wannabe Nazis trying to poison every conversation?

The Prickly Pear cactus is growing in Africa, they say it is growing out of control, they call it an invasive species from America, and they do not realize what a blessing the cactus is.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/09/africa/gallery/kenya-invasive-cactus-intl/index.html

The Africans are starting to use the cactus for things, but they do not realize that the cactus can be used to end starvation.

The Mexicans eat the cactus with scrambled eggs and with salsa and tortillas.

The cactus is a blessing for the poor and for the starving people in the world.
