Someone with more character and more heart than you, Bambu.

Teachers in America don't seem to be valued very highly.
$30,000 pa salary for a university educated teacher entrusted with the academic lives of children, is an insult quite frankly.

Mayor Bass is doing some fine things to promote affordable housing which are being taken up as best practices by cities all over the country.

Mayor Bass is doing a great job, and I believe that she honestly cares about our people. The thing is, she has to deal with the results of 30 years of neglect. As our General Motors Plant was closed down in Van Nuys then those people should have been helped and jobs should have been created to replace the jobs that were lost. And the same as we lost the Space Shuttle Program in the Antelope Valley, those people needed to be trained and put to work on other projects. So, what happened is that over the last 30 years more and more jobs were lost without being replaced, while new people continued to come here from all over the world for the American Dream and for the Californian Dream and we ended up with 70,000 homeless people on the street. So, Mayor Bass has to deal with the results of 30 years of neglect. I like Mayor Bass, and pray that God continues to guide her in good ways.

And yes Bambu, the teachers need higher pay. But, many teachers write books to bring in extra money, etc. I had a friend who was a teacher who owned a cookie store and she made and sold cookies to supplement her income. In California many teachers are actors and models, and they make extra money by starring in television commercials, etc. But, all in all, teachers are special people who have big hearts. A lot of times the wife works as a teacher while the man has a higher paying job such as working as a lawyer, etc. Or, they can own a Toy Store, etc, while they teach, etc.

I see lots of good people who are doing good deeds, such as Mayor Bass, and I have hope that our planet will continue to get better.

Salute,

Tony V.

Meanwhile, in bambuworld, the CEO of supermarket giant Woolworths has announced his resignation...much drama over the company's woke agendas, getting involved in the Voice referendum, and going max woke about Australia Day 26th Jan.
Add to that the allegations that the company and the other large supermarket chain are price gouging customers etc...govt inquiry announced.

Customers have revolted. The People are fed up, so to speak.
CEO of IKEA - ilk is what is needed as a replacement.

'Go woke, go broke'.

We can put your deep water ports to use by sending you goods from Mexico and from California, and coffee from Colombia, etc.

Australia needs a chain of Northgate Markets, I shop at Northgate as it is within walking distance and they have fresh-baked bread and great food.

https://www.northgatemarket.com/

We can send you goods, and you can ship stuff back, we can do global trade. You can send us wool, and mutton, and kiwi fruit, and whatever else you want to sell that will be in demand here. And you can do trade with Mexico, and with Latin America, we can use your deep water ports for world trade.

Salute,

I would not be a teacher today, no matter how much character and heart I had (even if I could pass the exams).
It's a thankless job, and have you seen what's being taught?
Fighting with and being abused by, the parents.
No thank you.

I have been reading your posts for a while now. You have nothing of value to teach anyone. I take that back. You may be the perfect example of how to fail at life and that may make you in pedagogical terms a useful cautionary tale.

Do not try and teach. Maybe for one day in your life learn something. I think that is still beyond you but you are less likely to cause any immediate harm in the attempt.

The Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel (ARCCI),  carefully compiled from eyewitness testimonies and the available forensic evidence of the October 7th Hamas atrocities. The
accusations of rape, sexual assault, and other acts of sexual violence were initially difficult to compile because Israeli authorities were focused on stopping the Hamas attack.



The Hamas attacks included violent acts of rape, accompanied by threats with weapons, and in some cases targeted towards injured women. Many of the rapes were carried out as a group, with the participation of violent terrorists. Often, the rape was perpetrated in front of an audience partners, family, or friends in a manner intended to increase the pain and humiliation of all present. Hamas terrorists hunted young women and men who fled the Nova festival, and according to testimonies, dragged them by their hair amid screams. The actions targeted women, girls, and men. In most cases, the victims were killed after or even during the rape.

A series of testimonies, interviews, and additional sources attest that Hamas terrorists employed sadistic practices aimed at intensifying the degree of humiliation and terror inherent in sexual violence. Many of the bodies of sexual crime victims were found bound and shackled. The genitals of both women and men were brutally mutilated, and sometimes weapons were inserted into them. The terrorists did not stop at shooting; they also cut and mutilated sexual organs and other body parts with knives.

The report will be sent to the United Nations.

A long time ago when the world wide web was new, Harvard had a website where their students could all discuss the Classics, etc, and so I went on the Harvard website and I started teaching the Harvard students about Shakespeare, and about Machiavelli, and about Aristophanes, and Aristotle, and about Sophocles, etc. I just did it for fun, I was bored and alone, and I was surrounded by uneducated people, I did not have anyone around me to discuss Shakespeare with, etc, so I discussed Shakespeare with the Harvard Students, etc, much as we do here on Elba.

So then a funny thing happened, when I tried to start my movie production company I received job applications from Harvard Students, the Harvard Students wanted to work for my production company. It was the most fascinating feeling for me to have Harvard Students who would accept me as their Boss. The Best and the Brightest wanted to work for my company. If I ever get my company going I plan to hire some of the Harvard graduates.

One job for the Harvard Students right now would be to save Playboy Magazine, and to bring back the Playboy Channel, Universal can buy Playboy and they can hire some Harvard Students from National Lampoon, and they can hire Barbi Benton to help, and they can save Playboy. The new shows for the Playboy Channel can be filmed right on the Studio Lot at Universal Studios, and one show that they can have is the Slocum Westerns, which is a series of Western novels with Love Scenes, Hef loved the Slocum Westerns.

Anyhow, I teach for free everyday on the world wide web. A fantasy of mine would be to live like Aristotle in Greece and have a great library and good wine and good food, and lots of beautiful young female muses, and just study, and teach, and learn, and wonder, and write, etc. Rome is nice too, but it is not secluded like a Greek Island. Maybe the Island of Elba would be nice.

I would gladly teach, and I hope to teach people with my poetry, and with my movies, and with my television shows, etc. We will see what happens.

And I have a lot of respect for the teachers, I love teachers and they are some of my favorite people.

Salute,

Tony V.

President Biden is here in California right now, he came to visit an Israeli Billionaire, and this morning he went to a restaurant for a breakfast burrito, and then he went to the Library in Culver City where he announced that he is working hard to make an education free for all Americans. We are giving tons of money to Ukraine and to everyone else, we can afford to help our own people, and by educating our people then all of society benefits. I support giving a free education to all Americans, and free Job Training for the people who want to do other jobs such as Truck Driving with the Teamsters Union, etc. We also need to support the Arts here in Hollywood. It is great that President Biden is here in California, and I support giving an education to all Americans who want one. Plus, right now we have a huge shortage of Doctors and Psychiatrists, we need to train our local people to become Doctors and Scientists, etc.

Salute,

Good.
Every politician and staff of every country member of the United Nations should be made look at the photos and read the report at the same time, then be made comment.

It should all be put on every 6 o'clock news in the West, every night for a month.

My Cousin had a friend who was in the Israeli Army and he had pictures of his dead friends and family members on his wall to remind him every day that he was in a Battle for his very existence. They also watch footage of the Holocaust. The Jews know the way that life is for them.

And the United States is in the unique position of being the only super power, while at the same time we have all of the world's people here as equals, the Crystal Cathedral has Sunday Services in 5 Languages. The Daughter of the President of China, Muzi, came here to attend Harvard. Everyone is equal in the USA, and we can stop Holocausts, and we can be Peacemakers, etc. Plus we have the United Nations, and the CIA. We can have peace.

But meanwhile, the threat to the lives of the Jewish people is very real, and they need to be strong, and I would recommend that all Jews own guns no matter where they live. And Spielberg has armed Body Guards. The Stars all have Body Guards. Empire West has 24 hour security, and so does Latigo Beach. The Stars are all protected.

I live in a gated community with cameras all over. Whenever riots happen then they sometimes riot here, at City Hall, and at La Palma Park, and at Pearson Park, etc. So far the gates have kept the rioters out. But, the cops need to do a better job at crowd control during riots, and the cops need to save the grocery stores and they need to save the residential areas, etc, the cops need to do crowd control like we did at Universal Studios, we had 25,000 guests per day and we always kept it all under control. The Cities need to do crowd control better during the riots, just like the Theme Parks do crowd control.

Salute,
