I was told I couldn't have a pocketknife in a federal building in San Mateo, Ca.

In 1969, the Nixon Presidency "Birthday Lottery" I was told I was going from college to an Army Physical then Drafted into the awful ground war in far far foreign Vietnam.

For 2 years i was told to shoot and kill "gooks" and be shot at risking Death, for what.

I came back a Veteran, a social outcast , with few job opportunities, so worked at the USPO for only $4.22/hr until the Post Office imploded.

The VA hospital was abusive, horrible...

I sold clothing for $6/hr...
I was barely getting by in the 70s and 80s, unable to afford a wife or family...
Watching illegal immigrants bring all their children.

And after being Yanked out of college by that creep Nixon, shot at and killed some in some miserable country I never want to see again, I am told I can not carry a small pocket knife in San Mateo as a ... War Veteran.

And no fingernail clippers on a commercial airplane!
As an American War Veteran!
Crazy...

PG&E's electric infrastructure liability? Notice how silent most people are about how huge this total figure will be? Not millions and not billions as the governor suggests, but trillions!

Just wait and see.

The World's First,,, Hydrogen Fuel Cell Powered Ferry Boat is being built! in the BayArea!! 5 on order!!

Electric car power has too much Hype!!

California electricity is way too expensive, and only becoming much more Expensive, because of incompetent PUC state agency and irresponsible neglecting PG&E power company with major infrastructure backlog ,,, and caused fire Debt.

Electric car batteries in Teslas have caught fire too often. Too hard to extinguish by FDs.
And are too heavy for personal car transport!!
And Electronic batteries are too slow to charge and the charging stations are too expensive for most houses and most apartment buildings to install.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power is The Answer, California!!

Yippee!
This ferry may be on the Bay by Sept-Oct!!

The Oakland "Ghost Ship" warehouse-apt bldg fire is so unjust with the rich owner not charged! The city police and fire Dept knew, so they are complicit too!

Thus current law and current law enforcement in California is unfair and unjust!

Only one experience with a PICKPOCKET Professional ,very slick, 2 elderly well dressed couples off a cruise ship!

I was driving a SF city tour and picked up at the new cruiseship pier.
These 2 old but very well dressed couples get on and sit in the front right seats.
My daypack was in their overhead shelf area, in my sight, if I looked over my right shoulder...

But somehow, while driving and looking forward at the road,,,
They unzipped my daypack and got my wallet out!
How!??
At the next walk stop I got out of the Driver's seat and checked my daypack.
The wallet was outside, on the shelf!!
How did they do that in front of all these passengers!?

All the cash and credit cards were still there. Phew!
So I hung my daypack on the hook on the wall behind my bus Driver's seat.
And I did not say anything.
These 2 old couples were Pros!

Blacklisting, from McCarthy Red-Scare Hollywood past, must be "legal" cuz it still goes on in this 2010s USA!

Shocked?
Or "campaign contributions" Reps and Senators not surprised?

The USA needs a NATIONWIDE TREE PLANTING PROGRAM along all public highways, local native trees, a small step against Global Warming.

So inertia why not!?

BART is "unsat" in every way, so why do we all, Politicians Media Public, settle for relatively such an Expensive, 70mph Slow, Mismanaged system far inferior to any other?

Such denial of the obvious!
