Tony has been trying out this script of his for years.  I have refrained from
any critique for too long.  He wants to write his self-pity and nonsense on Elba,
that is his choice.  Back on ignore he goes, as soon as I give him a whiff of the grapes of Truth.

1) Hollywood is about make-believe, not reality.

There are many movies made in Hollywood that are about true stories/events.

Maybe you'd like to post in this forum your practical solutions for helping the vast number of homeless people in America improve their lives, have enough to eat, and stop having to live and die in squalor on the streets.

I have no issues with Salute Tony V's posts.
My lament is that immigrant camps for asylum-seekers/economic immigrants are being set up in America at the expense of locals having to vacate their stadiums etc to make room.

Said camps providing every amenity for the immigrants, plenty of food, every luxury, while Americans are starving, dirty, putrid clothes, on the streets.

Trump had the right idea...make the asylum seekers apply from Mexican soil, where they are safe.

That would have essentially zero effect on homelessness in the US because they are unrelated issues. If you want to know why we have not tackled the homelessness problem, ask your No. 1 radio hosts and the politicians he supports.

Vote for Democrats. That is the most practical solution.

Slave children in Africa today?
Surely not.

Solar is great in the deserts, and in sunny locations, but in areas such as Battle Mountain, Nevada, where they receive snow every year, then there needs to be a heating source on the solar panels to melt the snow.

---------

The heating film for solar panels is made to measure in double layer adhesive aluminum for any model of solar panel, with modular power supply system with IP68 connectors and with a power of about 175 W. In a few minutes it brings the surface of the panel to around 10 degrees Celsius eliminating the snow.

------------

People are showing photos on the web of solar panels covered in snow and they are saying that solar is impractical in areas where it snows, but they just need to spend a few dollars more to apply the heating film to their solar panels and the heating film will melt the snow. Solar is fine for Battle Mountain, you just need to spend a few dollars more to buy the heating film to melt the snow.

Salute,

Tony V.

Correct.  Also, any smooth surface angled for maximum sun, snow will melt off quickly.

REPOSTED (got lost earlier in the chat)

 I was so annoyed that a Trump victory party in Iowa would appropriate George Harrison s What is Life that I had to cleanse that wonderful song by watching this video, with two dancers from the SF Ballet... beautiful!

mrs bambu stayed in  'Quad Cities' Iowa/Illinois when she visited America.
Her hosts and other people she met there were very nice.

Critic of Claudine Gay apparently not quite as reputable a scientist as many wanted to believe.

California is going to fund medical insurance for the immigrants regardless of status.

Health care is a right for all humans, and I support health care for everyone.

Of note, I recommend opening Free Clinics like the one on Beverly Blvd by the Beverly Center, where the doctors all volunteer their time, and where the funds come from charity, etc. We need to open community free clinics wherever we can, there is a huge demand for such a service.

https://www.sabancommunityclinic.org/locations/beverly-health-center

I also support Mental Health Associations such as the one in Santa Ana, and I support Wellness Centers such as the one in Orange.

Salute,

Tony V.

whines about Nepotism keeping him jobless is quite touching.
Tony has been trying out this script of his for years.  I have refrained from
any critique for too long.  He wants to write his self-pity and nonsense on Elba,
that is his choice.  Back on ignore he goes, as soon as I give him a whiff of the grapes of Truth.

1) Hollywood is about make-believe, not reality.

There are many movies made in Hollywood that are about true stories/events.

Maybe you'd like to post in this forum your practical solutions for helping the vast number of homeless people in America improve their lives, have enough to eat, and stop having to live and die in squalor on the streets.

Movies based on real life people almost never refrain from embellishing the storyline for box-office effects.  Those that do not are called documentaries.
Hollywood produces junk and special effects fantasies.

Once again, you make statements based on lies you choose to believe.
There have always been homeless people in America, that is a fact.
I saw a stat that 1 in 8 Americans have been homeless at one time, even if only for a week or month.  It is also widely known that something like a third of all Americans have less than a $1000 in savings.
How could those two facts be true in the wealthiest country in the world?
I will give you a hint: the top 1% of people have 40% of the wealth.

The GOP policy for the homeless is now they got what they deserve. Period.
The US is in decline and saps like you are going to have to defend yourselves completely on your own.  Hope you like Chinese food.

When I see a starving homeless person on the street, believe me I buy them a  meal, as do many good, decent Americans.

When China has taken over the rest of the world, it will come for America...and America won't stand a chance. America/ns will be enslaved, or the world will end in nuclear war.
America needs to form a solid Coalition Of US Aligned Nations...COUSAN.
50 nations, 100 nations, 150 nations...as many as possible, to stand against the China-Russia-North Korea-Iran etc Alliance.
