California is leading the world in emerging technology, including clean energy items, and we need to do the manufacturing of those items here in California, and in the USA. And the coal workers can get jobs in the field of clean energy. If the scientists are correct, then California is leading the world on the ways of saving the world.
Our people need easy access to business loans so that they can open companies in the field of clean energy, and so they can export those items to the world, and the workers around the world will be installing equipment that was invented and manufactured here in California, and in the USA.
And the French are barely getting by, when I was in the French Riviera I bought a bottle of wine for the people at the table next to me at a restaurant, because they could not afford wine to go with their dinner, and they were very thin, you could tell they were poor. They were clean, and they tried to be proud, but they were thin and they could not afford wine. The French need to get in on making money from the clean energy movement. If the French are making money, then they will be happier, everyone is happy when they are prosperous. The French also need a better deal on their trade with China, and on French wine and French cheese, and with Italy, and Spain, and the European Union, they all need a new trade deal with China. The people of France are upset because they are all poor, and if they start making money from clean energy then they will get on the train to a cleaner planet and they will be happier. Making them starve is just going to upset them, obviously.
So, we need for the whole planet to get on the train to cleaner energy, and a cleaner planet, and we need for the people who invent the new technology to benefit from their hard work and inventions and investments. If the technology is invented and manufactured in California, by a company which was financed by a French financier, etc, then everyone who is involved needs to prosper from that, and they will get rewarded instead of feeling punished by higher taxes and higher fuel costs, poor people need a ladder to climb.
And it is the same with the assholes who sent all of the jobs to other places, and then they get mad at you for not working. Five hundred thousand jobs from California went to China, and then they get mad at the unemployed guy for not working, or even worse when they blame a homeless person for being homeless without knowing their story, and without having walked in their shoes. And with low wages, with high rents, it is like being between a rock and a hard place. People need opportunities to rise from the bottom to the top. There has to be loans for people to enter the new energy industry of the future, and as we invent those items in California then we need to keep those jobs in California, and here in the USA, in Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, New Jersey, Ohio, and the whole USA.
We need to turn the clean energy train into also being a gravy train. We need to create many new wealthy people, people need to be able to succeed in the field of making our planet cleaner.
And Bambu, you can still have your heater, and your air conditioner, and the televisions of the future will be awesome, and the cars will be great, and the trains will be fast, and the planes will be faster, we will simply learn to do it all with clean energy, and in a more environmentally friendly fashion.
But, I refuse to give up a nice beef steak now and then. I also love the burgers at Carl's Jr, and IN-N-Out.
Salute,
