Sept 2018, the SEC is a bit off balance in enforcement: SEC ignores reports od Series6 insurance salesmen forging client's signatures on Mutual Fund change allocation application forms,,, but is going to kill the Most Innovative car company because the Owner is as Wacko as Steve Jobs.

We ,the USa, really needs Tesla and crazy genius Musk.

The SEC should not ignore small violations and go overboard on medium violations.
Get perspective and balance!

Electricity is so Expensive in California because the PUC is allowing the Major Utilities Companies to make Big Mistakes like not pruning trees and charging the Customers instead of the liable Shareholders!

If you invest in a lazy lying irresponsible Company, you should not expect the Customers to pay for a large gas pipe explosion, 38 houses burned, and 8 lives lost. No one went to jail for life.

But the state legislature and governor and the PUC/Public Utilities Commission allow this Nonsense!

California will Not be ready for most electric cars by 2050 unless there are major changes to the politics and poor leadership in this state!

The VA, today, Friday 28Sept2018, requires a FLU SHOT RESERVATION!! After being 4weeks late after Walgreens in getting a supply!!

For our American patients and Veterans, this year after year nonsense is not just MISmanagement, it's COUNTER PRODUCTIVE!

NTSB/ the National Traffic Safety Board said on the news today,26Sept2018, that "evaluating headlights off cars on benches leaves too much variance of OVER 100FT and that Headlights Must be Tested On Cars." I've been telling CONSUMER REPORTS this for decades!

My old Acura Integra headlights, ON the car, are Terrible on Low Beam!

Finally, the Feds are going to test car headlights ON CARS!

Finally.

US banks are too Privledged by a sell out Congress!

1, our Friday paychecks are "deposited the next business day" MONDAY!

2, Some or most will not accept unrolled coins, like a kid's PIGGY BANK!

3, Some or most like HSBC will NOT give you 4 quarters for a dollar for the bank PARKING METER!

This must stop, especially after 2008 debacle!

Who to blame for the death of the post war Middle Class? Republicans or Democrats? Both

The Republicans were for lowering the price of US labor and increasing corporate profits, openly.

But the Democrats were so deceptive and forked-tongue, with Bill Clinton's sham marriage and equal sham NAFTA trade deal sending US jobs and US factories unpatriotically away.

Alot of both these politicians have become extremely wealthy personally in Congress over years and decades of selling out the electorate to a tiny few rich "campaign contributors".

Listen to all the lies against Ca#10 by the rental owners, just greed without principle or justice.

These long-time pols are going to let us all suffer the lack of leadership, safely extremely wealthy.

2018 and American medicine is in a horrible state!

Just qualified for Medicare; What a confusing expensive Mess! oh boy.

Social Security wants me to come into one of their offices for an hour ,off work, "to prove who you are."
Idiots.

The VA for our Veterans is still a gigantic mess of sloppy care and unclean hospitals.

Kaiser is so profit-priorized it make "mistakes" a lot in diagnosis and treatment, which is "for profit" ok , of course. We must excuse capitalism and greed.

Candidate and President Obama was just able to talk about single payer; Oh, if we could only learn from Canada next door!

Friends are still being pained and killed sooner with cancer radiation from a uranium salesman and chemo from a germ warfare salesman. Stupid. Immunotherapy is still just a dream for most cancer patients. Watch the cancer documentary from the same guy who did the Civil War.

Fear Senate will again "Thomas"-fiasco disgrace and embarass themselves with mishandling Prof. Ford's lack of FBI investigation, lack of both side lie detector tests, and general threatened majority Republican pigheadedness!

The Republicans are digging their own political graves.
Horray!

Gavin Newsom might LOOSE if he won't Promise to Fix Gov. Jerry Brown's Big Mistakes, like the 2 Delta huge pumps!

And SB901, the bailout of a utility by ratepayers instead of Shareholders! It's too much pampering of the Cal oil industry that doesn't pay $2B/yr extraction taxes, like all other states!

All these Fracking permits by Brown!!!?
Fracking should, Must be banned in groundwater storage California!

And the cost sharing of closing California's last risky expensive flawed nuclear reactor!

And the PUC raising rates on consumers Twice after the San Bruno 8lives, 38homes ,exploding large gas pipeline that should be Shareholders burden!

And the CCC corruption and development of Martin's Beach, banning public access for a few Richy's!

And protecting felon murderers(SF Pier 14, Kate) by the costly "Sanctuary City" labels that hurt the USa and help irresponsible, criminally cartel overrun, under educated, oil rich Mexico.
An open border is not a border!

More of the same "Democrat" will not do!

BEWARE of the High Risk of Fraud in Cruising!

First , the "Cruise Specialists" travel agencies.
Before I went on my first Cruise, the famous and super popular "Inside Passage" up the British Columbia, Canada and Alaska coast, I must have called a dozen of them in a major California city.
RESULTS: They all lied in telling me I would "see lots of Orcas and lots of other whales too in May."
I didn't see 1 Orca and only about a dozen whales in 13 days spent looking out from both sides of the ship!
The schools of small fish usually don't come in that early in the cruise season.
Why don't the travel associations protect the travel agents And the Travelers?
Where are the state Attorney Generals, since this is so common in California and probably all states?
Why are certain businesses clearly under policed, like Travel agencies, and Charter/Tour buses and Limousines, Restaurants in major cruise ship towns?

Second, I got food poisoning in St. Petersburg, a major stop for cruise ships, at one of the "recommended" water view restaurants!  Why doesn't the Public Health depts inspect, signage grade, and more closely regulate these very lucrative, huge crowds passing, restaurants?
I was in food poisoning agony for days!

Third, the very common practice of "bait and switch" in airplane sightseeing the channels or fiords. I went to another major port, extremely crowded Juneau, and asked about a flight in a big engine Beaver or Otter instead of a cramped and tiny Cessna plane I had already flown in years ago.
The operater I chose had a brochure with a big engine Beaver on it but after I paid told me, "Lots of people cancelled, so if you want to go we will be using a (small, underpowered, cheaper, cramped) Cessna instead of the Beaver you signed up for. Ok?"
It was getting late and I really wanted to see the Inside Passage from the air for just 1 hour, so I agreed.
2 women and I were crammed into a very small and very tiny engine Cessna floatplane with a fat middle aged pilot! I really feared the passenger weight would keep us on the water, unable to take off! But the tiny Cessna engine whined and we took a long splashing run to finally, just barely enough power, get into the air and start to very slowly bouncing climb and head inland slowly! I sat in the second row and worried about swimming in the very cold water the whole time. The pilot was skilled but the little light plane bounced in the air currents a lot! Will we all get airsick ,,,?  When we landed, I did Not tip! I noticed most airplane sightseeing companies at this major cruise ship port reserved the "right" to change planes. Never again!

Fourth,  I booked a cruise ship to see a certain advertised route,  including Glacier Bay.
That was "cancelled" with no appropriate refund amount to me!
Grrr.
I had paid over $1000. for a "luxury ship".
I call that "false advertising".

Fifth,  There were many "personnel problems" I observed on the cruise ship and just tried to look the other way from the public swearing and yelling.
I was their paid in full before "onboard" captive for 13 days ,so tried to make the best of every Very Expensive day of cruise ship travel!

Good luck!!

If KQED and Forum are too afraid to complain about Governor Jerry Brown's official work performance, then they will never do a Annual Discussion of all Cal State Politicans, from Gov to Lt Gov to SupePublicEd to InsCom to 2 top Senators!

The public Deserves an Annual Performance Review ,,, from somebody Not too afraid!

I wish the VA hospitals were more honest and reliable to our Veterans!

One medical student wanted to keep me on Pre-diabetic perscription drugs "for the rest of your life".
But I had cut out all sodas and sugary OJs and followed a Nutritionist diet book " Fast Metabolism" for 18 months as my blood sugar went down.

I got the constant ear buzz, tinnitus, but this MD ignored my questions and pleas!
Finally I was told "tinnitus just develops with old age, no cause or treatment or cure."
BS!  So irresponsible!
Then I believe my lab results were falsified to keep me on these perscription drugs "for life" and make my constant buzz tinnitus Louder!

Patient Experience team lied and told me I could return the unopened drugs for full credit.
I had the hearing test and the Very painful earwax vacuum, results were normal.
Was never allowed to see a Ear Specialist MD tho I asked lots... take about an orphan illness!

I stopped taking their drugs and the tinnitus stopped getting louder.
I changed MDs, medical students.
I can only sleep with a natural sleep aid ,I had to find on my own!, Alteril pills.
I strongly distrust the VA.
Much to late, a VA RN yelled at me repeatedly, "You should never take aspirin again!" Yelling?
Any VA doctor would never confirm this.

For many months I asked for a colonoscopy.
" Never mid day at lunch, you must be sedated, and we use salt water gallon drink prep not GoLightly."
For Months I was told this.
Recent they said," yes, mid day appt is fine and always has been, no sedation is fine and always has been, and we always use GoLightly."
So many many lies.

Have you seen the old faded public poster, "22 Veterans died Today from SUICIDE."
Beware.

The VETERAN'S VA website ,MyHealthyVet, is Down,Again!

You can Log-in, but you can't Message your MD.

Govt-bungling incompetents!

The VA has sent me 4 pills, WITHOUT MY APPROVAL/PERMISSION ! And i get NO CREDIT RETURNS unopened!

Another Huge VA bungling bureaucracy problem for our VETERANS!

Why is it ,on 5Sept2018, that Walgreen's Always has the FLU SHOTS Before the V.A.!?

My Walgreens has had Medicare-free flu shots for 2 WEEKS ALREADY!

This is one of the bumbling bureaucracy problems of the VA for VETERANS!
