Are you really happy with DEREGULATION of INDUSTRIES like Airlines and Trucking?? United Dragged a Doctor off a flight! And seems there is a low pay-low skill Semi accident daily in the Bay Area!

And both Industries are hugely profitable.

But are you the Consumer satisfied??

Before the data is lost Forever, Ken Burns or someone needs to do a full documentary of all US and maybe N.America indian tribes, over 200 just in California!

The Spanish and the Yankee disrespected these cultures.
One hour on each tribe.
Civil War. Baseball. Cancer. WW2. Yes.
I'm talking Monumental research assembly and tv filming. Good jobs for 1000s for years.

Then... What people believed and thought they knew for sure thru the centuries!

Then,,, the cultural political religious differences of every country, now and 100 years ago. 200 years ago. 300 years ago.

So much to do!

Then diseases thru the Ages.

Politics, good and bad, thru the Ages.

Mythology done wonderfully by Campbell and news guy.

Political history of Cal.

RNs and all hospital staff should take the legally binding Hippocratic Oath, not just seldom-seen MDs. Right?

Have you every dared to go into an average American hospital?
You are Brave.
Did you notice that most of the direct patient care comes from,,, wanna guess?,,, the Nurses.

So should all medicos promise to "do no harm", signed contract annually?
Would help more than hurt.
Profit would still be outrageous, like Prop 8s overcharging Dialysis clinics.
Right?

Why don't we Yet have a Separate All PLASTICS Recycling Cart? Separate it from other, Accumulate it a Local Recycling Centers, and make the Plastics Producers industry pick it up and Environmentally "recycle" it?

Seems so obvious.
Right?

We have to start small somewhere.
Right?

It's almost 2020.
Then it will be, maybe without a nuclear war or global starvation and disease, 2050.
Some tink it is too late already.
Right?

Getting lots of "No on 10" and "No on 8" Big postcard mailers. They have $, but not "the public interest"!

Same for radio ads; 2 in 5minutes? might mean Dark Money on Wrong side!

And "AS IF" I'm going to believe paid actors or one unknown old person on Important Voting issues!!

It's politics time, people!
Lies exaggerations and more lies.
Wish there was an Honesty Rule, but there obviously isn't!!

Read your ballot book.
Listen to KQED Forum radio.
Study up and DO NOT JUST BE FOOLED BY ONE PAID ADVERTISEMENT.
Be Careful, Voting is Super important this time.

Isn't California in Much Worse Financial shape than currently admitted?

Watched the Frontline tv show on Pensions, especially DB/defined benefit ,the best, for police fire and teachers.
The show focused on the worst state situation in Kentucky where politicians for Years have not followed the Law and paid annually into the State Pension Fund, but spent the money ,,,elsewhere!

They said "California is also in big trouble with its DB pensions."

And Prop6, the bad Regressive state gas sale tax that should be repealed is replacing the STOLEN State Highway Trust Fund $!
Sacramento needs to do right ,for a change, and replace All that Highway "Trust" Fund!!

And pass statewide tough Rent Control!!

SF is a Lousy Home Housekeeper for decades of filthy sidwalks, potholed streets, and left litter!; I called 24-7 sf311 ,a fine reporting service, about 4 mattresses left on the sidewalk,"City will pick up in 4 hours", but it took 4 WEEKS!

No excuses.
Why don't residents protest and March on this??

Another?
I called sf311 about some Mental "homeless" person throwing free newspapers from the sidewalk green hutches onto the street.
"Let's see, the City schedule for that is,,, 3 days."
3 days!?
YIKES!

How lazy or cost efficient are SF city-county employees??

"Jesus!, Get a SECOND OPINION!". Either free or paid, on the medium to Big stuff, like Surgery or a DNR or an unknown mechanic!

Be wary!
Lots of thieves out here...

"Always ALWAYS buy insurance for Apple products."

Consumer Reports told me this. Over and over. For years!

Did I listen?
No.
And my 3rd Apple laptop was CORRODED inside, "unreturnable" at time of purchase the Apple store manager told me.
Because,,, I did not buy ,,,
offered insurance.

Wise up, folks!

"Never EVER sign a DNR, unless you have a midstage Terminal Disease!!" DNRs are used mostly to cut hospital liability and expense, Not for the Patient's benefit!

This Advice was given me by a life long friend and MD.

Wise up, People!

The CFPB is LIED TO by banks, wonder if they know? The "Reply" website button has been broken to Consumers, thus bank after bank's lies have stood,, not fallen!

We need laws rules regulations judges, even Trump likes some sortajudges and maybe some rules,,,
The Golden Rule? ;)

Governor Jerry Brown VETOED the Rape Kit Backlog in California Bill,,,!!

Shocking.

Are you for Clarence Thomas,,, or for Anita Hill?

Anita. Before, during, after, always.

My parents just died. Beware of these Pitfalls!

A WILL is not enough to avoid probate.
Get a TRUST also.

Don't let any neighbor "friend" be your REALTOR.
Shop around.
Compare.
This one wanted both sides,legal in Cal but so impractical! How can you rep both the seller and the buyer!? " I just lower the seller's asking price."
No! So much $ here and coming from China and Europe, due to very limited supply, lack of building highrises for decades!
Don't let your family home be listed and too quickly sold in 2 weeks with only 2 bidders!
List for at least a month, if you can, to spread the word and allow interest to build.
Our home was sold to remodelers; Maybe they will sell again soon instead of living in it for decades as we did.

Be careful with who is the EXECUTOR, usually a family member.
This is a very difficult and stressful job being the boss when one child goes selfish hostile rogue!
It takes months.

Be very careful who you hire!!
My older sibling hired an APPRAISER  for the furniture "Estate Sale" that gave zero paper accounting and banned all family from the sale!
If asked to "sign a contract" write in that you want a "full and complete listing and accounting of every item sold, appraisal price And asking price And actual sale price for every single item." Also write in "at least one family member is allowed to watch the Estate Sale".
Some unlicensed or licensed Appraisers expect 20-35% of Everything sold!!
Negociate down to a fairer 10%.

3 months before the realtor listing we had a YARD SALE.
Beware of all the Creeps that show up!!
Some tried to sneak into the house!, so lock the front door!
And garage door!
To prevent theft have as many family or helpers as possible ,at least 2 or 4.
We had only 2 and we're Swamped with online price searching!
Demanding impatient buyers.
Big crowds!
One rich guy in a big MB just wanted "any jewelry or gold coins". No, so he left.
One rich woman in another big MB wanted our complete 50s board games for only "$1 each". No thanks, she left and we got much more.
My rich sis didn't care about price, just sell it, but 4 children's interests were involved, not just her's!
Some people kicked dropped and broke antiques to get a lower price!
"This is junk."
Beware!!
Post a sign, "Anyone breaking or trying to damage sale items Must Leave the Private Property immediately! And stay Off the Front Lawn! Just walk only on the driveway, Please."

Dad had a few shotguns and rifles so be careful finding a GUN SELLER AGENT!
There are 4 online auction websites.
Most FFLs only give you 10% of current market value; Same for most gun stores.
The one my sis hired was incompetent, not aware that "immediate family can sell to each other without a FFL agent" in Silicon Valley and California.

Be patient.
Be a family not enemies.
Hire competent people.
There are too many quick profit jokers swarming after a parent dies!

What if the NLRB refuses to do its job and allows a lying fraudulent conspiracy union election,,, and refuses to investigate?

Could you afford their suggestion to "hire your own lawyer"?

I am a California Navy Vietnam Veteran and i am FOR #10 AND RENT CONTROL!!

Don't believe the VFW ads that Vets are against rent control!
I don't, at all.

Maybe this is "dark money"contributors talking; Please watch the PBS special on "Dark Money".
Radical Republicans are violating election laws to get robot politicians in office!
Shocking.

Amazon made $1.86 Billion in Profit in just the last 3 months of 2017. The news isn't saying , but Obviously Amazon can now Afford to pay at least $15/hr !!

It took from 1997 to 2001 for Amazon to have a profitable quarter of $5Million.

Recently Amazon's revenue and profit have Sky Rocketed!

TSA should wash those Germy conveyor inspection tubs DAILY!

Probably an automated dishwasher machine somewhere at every major airport.

I haven't heard anyone or media ask for a LIE DETECTOR TEST for Judge Kavanaugh. Were is the RAPE WITNESS guy!?

Get Real, Senators!
