A significant portion of your party, including its dominant leader, was actively involved in trying to overturn a fair and free election. Pointing that out and asking people to fight that is not divisive

The entirety of this is debatable.

Los Angeles, California has the highest wage gap between workers and the cost of rent...

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-02/millennials-cant-afford-to-pay-rent-in-these-california-cities-because-of-the-renter-wage-gap

Florida is also hard for the workers.

We need to do a better job of teaching our youth how to make money, and we need for the unions to get the wages up for the workers. We need for the workers to be able to afford to pay rent and to be able to afford the cost of living.

Salute,

Tony V.

The Mayor of my Hometown is in Japan, seeking to work together with Japan to create new high tech jobs, involving hydrogen, etc.

https://www.dailynews.com/2021/07/20/lancaster-japanese-city-team-up-for-historic-hydrogen-pact/

My Hometown built the Space Shuttles, and many top secret aircraft were built in my hometown, and the sound barrier was broken at Edwards, etc. Watch the movie "The Right Stuff." My hometown has a lot of great, creative people.

My advice for my Hometown would be to improve education, and to build more schools, and hire more teachers. There can be schools for Science, and Flight, and Space, and a new Medical School can be built in Lancaster, etc.

Antelope Valley College is fantastic, and more schools need to be built in the Antelope Valley.

Children love to learn, we need to get the children into paper airplanes, and model rockets, and we need to let the children know how special my Hometown is, it is a special place, and they have done great things in the Antelope Valley.

The Antelope Valley needs a huge new museum celebrating space and flight, and the Antelope Valley needs to build more schools.

Salute,

Tony V.

A new high speed train between Lancaster and Los Angeles needs to be built as well.

I think it's 0 for 3.

NOT a significant portion.......
Not a free and fair election
And yes, Biden's current action is divisive

It is stupid right now that we have people who are against supporting having a free education for poor people in the United States. It costs more to put someone in prison than it does to send them to Harvard, let us send our people to Harvard instead of sending our people to prison.

And we want an educated population. We do not want a bunch of ignorant people and a bad economy, we want educated and trained people and a great economy.

Children love to learn, and we need to teach the children and we need to raise a better society.

I support a free education for the Foster Children, and for the poor youth, and for the rich people like Ivanka Trump then it is not a big issue and the rich people can afford an education.

Salute,

Tony V.

Some people talk as though the study of Philosophy is a waste of time and money, but I would remind people that all of the great statesmen of Rome studied Philosophy and Rhetoric, and then they drank wine and had feasts as they discussed the issues of their day. Philosophy and Rhetoric were not a waste of time then, nor are they a waste now. And I learned a lot from studying the ancient Greeks and the Romans, from whom their civilizations were the building stones for America.

And imagine in the South Side of Chicago if they could have a school of Philosophy and Rhetoric, and the young people can smoke pot and they can discuss Aristotle, etc. It would be way better than crime and dealing drugs.

I also like Poetry, and I consider the study of Poetry worthwhile. Along with all of the great literature, I support good libraries in all neighborhoods. We should strive to go into the worst neighborhoods and give them libraries and schools and parks. And legalize pot and let them smoke pot and  drink wine while they discuss the issues of our time.

Salute,

Tony V.

It is important to educate our children, and to satisfy their natural curiosity. We need to make sure that all children in America have access to libraries and books.

And we need to always be a nation of industry, our children need to know how to make steel, and how to make glass, and how to generate electricity, and how to make paper, etc. People in Detroit need to study on how to make cars. People in California need to study on how to make movies and television shows. People in New York need to know how to do banking and Wall Street and they need to know how to do international business, etc. And it is important to teach the children how to make honest money. There are a lot of things that we need to teach the children.

We need to keep investing in education and training for our children and for our people.

Salute,

Tony V.

I watched a show on PBS last night about the Opioid Crisis, it is horrible, the first responders are having to deal with people dying everyday from over-doses, they said that the number of deaths have surpassed the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. And we all knew people who over-dosed and died during this crisis.

The answer is for people who are addicted to seek help, there is no shame in seeking help. And N/A is free to get help, just go to a meeting and reach out for help. People need to get help and help is available.

Ironically there was a movie on PBS last night, "Giant" starring Elizabeth Taylor, and Elizabeth Taylor was an addict who went to the Betty Ford Center to get help for her addiction, I had a professor in community college who worked at the Betty Ford Center, and Elizabeth was an example of a person who beat her addiction and went on to have a great life. With help people can beat addiction the way that Elizabeth Taylor did.

I hate addiction, and I lost my Uncle Dennis who over-dosed and died right here in my apartment. People who need help need to be willing to reach out, and help is available.

Salute,

Tony V.

After months of blaming the Palestinians for Shireen murder and calling any one who doubted that conclusion Anti-Semitic the IDF says, yeah... it might have been us, but we will not investigate.
