Occupy Bloomington: with Port-o-lets

As far as I know, it was the mayor of Bloominton that had two port-o-lets installed at the Peoples Park in Bloomington, Indiana.  If so, Thank you Mark Kruzan.  After complaints from the seem to be leader of Occupy Bloomington, and the bicycle shop next door about urinating and defacating on the fence, claiming that it was the homeless.

The homeless living in the park are still just seperated from any of the movement.  Even I have no idea what the local protesters issues may be.  They hold their meetings in confined spaces. If they were at all interested in telling people about anything at all they can get an 80 seat auditorium at the library by just being a non-profit, several days a week,  It also seems to do the minimum to just say “Look at us” with no real audiences. 

Students from IU tried to own the movement and get money from IU, but IU shot down that idea.  With the billions of dollars that come into this economy every year, the trickle down has 50% of the population receiving some type of assistance.  While there are trees growing between the street and the sidewalks in some places, The few times that you see city equipment doing anything is around the university.  The city streets are never cleaned in most areas.  Who is doing the job?  And if not, why not?

Occupy Bloomington: People stay divided from day one

It seems like people at Occupy Bloomington, just aren’t very interested in hearing issues.  The most severest of issues are just pretty much ignored simply because the ones that experience them are shunned.  The homeless in Peoples park are ignored completely.  They are even bringing in their own food.  I have been contributing $20 every payday, but now it seems like I am going to give $20 to each group. 

Bloomington, when it comes to the actual residents, is the third poorest cities of its size.  Estimates are that 50% receive some type of assistance.  All the business’s that cater to the college have guest worker’s doing the job that belongs to the people of Bloomington.  The city doesn’t do any of the work that benefits its citizens, meaning those jobs are gone too.  While the streets of the college are mostly clean, the city streets have trees growing between the curb and street.  It is not because once in a while you can see the cities streetcleaner driving through the campus, it is because they have not hired anyone to do the work. 

Which all of a sudden comes to mind:  Who are this cities ghost employees?  People who get checks and yet do absolutely nothing.  People who very much want to keep that going.  With a local election comming tomorow, these are the things that should have been asked. Was Occupy a deception to take your mind off of that?

Occupy Wallstreet, just a few reasons

There are thousands of reasons for the ‘Occupy Wallstreet’ people to be out there.  They just don’t seem to be educated in the oratory business.  You know, the people that are paid to speak well.  Even then they aren’t very good at it.  Look at them as story tellers, each trying to out do another, but wanting to be paid well. 

One grand reason that they have for being out there is over the utility companies.  For the last thirty years they have been getting price increase after price increase and claiming that it was to rebuild the infrastructure. I would guess that trillions of dollars a year is taken in for that reason.  The president offered a $450billion jobs bill,paid for with tax money, but it was declined by the senate.  If the Democratic party had done the right thing, they would compel those companies to start paying for it.

They have lobotomised millions of Americans (including infant children) through depression medication.  When you are on your last leg, of course you trust the government in which you are a part of? 

The healthcare for workers didn’t get too expensive, it was redistributed to the share holders.  Right along with safety issues, and any basic rights for workers just gone.  For a little more security, they used illegal aliens. Not to enrich them, but to drain the Other half of the Americans.

Multi-billion Dollar Industry

Even though this is specifically for the auto type industry, there are ways to apply it to many different things, like powering your entire house or anything that uses electricity.  The powers that be have known about this for a very long time but couldn’t bring themselves to allow you not to spend money.

In this particular idea you would of course need something as complicated as a wheel off of a wheelbarrow.  Doesn’t really have to be from a wheelbarrow, but the junkyard mechanics would find it an easy access.  The next thing of course would be a gernerator/alternator, which could easily be found in any auto scrapyard, and then a battery.

The most ideal would be for the auto industry to make it a drop down wheel from the auto itself.  But we know that is not gonna happen.  The second and most practical approach is to have it attach to the trunk of your car, like a bicycle rack.  This would especially go well with the all electric cars that you have to take home and plug in and buy electric.  You could actually just plug in your car and keep on going.

The wheel would turn as you moved generating electricity, and be stored in batteries.  Now in speaking to an engineer from the auto industry, he tells me that the auto makers don’t do that because there is too much resistance generating the electric.  A liar of course.  Anyone can take a generator/alternator and spin it with your fingertips.  There is no more resistance than driving with your windows down.

Batteries for home use can even be recharged while riding you bicycle.

Singing the same song, but its new to you

While everyone is excited about the new jobs deal that our not so loved president is coming up with, It would be the people who have been on this earth a little longer than most who know what is happening.  These new job creating gimmicks have been in existence since I was a baby.  If you went into your local homeless shelter and looked on the jobs board, you would find a notice that if you are on food stamps, or have recently been released from prison, sign up for this program.

This has been going on forever.  They give tax breaks to business’s that hire these people.  It was president Bush that stopped that from happening on his watch, and why?  He didn’t want the American people to look very close at what he and his boys were doing.  Millions over millions have been slaughtered around the world, and we had to worry about the pettiness of our own comfortable existence.

The things that they are doing have been planned long ago, and now is nothing but the theatrics that makes you believe that you have something to do with it.  There will be no job creation, only the jobs that were given to the illegal aliens will be returned to the US citizens.  And yes, where will the illegal workers go?

We want it, and we want it free.

While the Bloomingtons battered woman’s shelter is desperately seeking money to help pay for it’s $6 million restoration, and two farce job creation ideas, they have always had the answer to their problems.  Why they chose not to use them is beyond me.  It could have been flat out laziness, or complete ignorance.  I choose to beleive they just did not want anyone to get ahead without them making a bundle off of the project. 

Just to have a battered woman’s shelter in Bloomington, and

Abused woman

then refusing services to most of the woman from Bloomington, just seems mind boggling itself.  They also own a very large and beautiful house just on the edge of downtown Bloomington.  This house has been for sale for quite a few months, and had they decided to use it for anything that draws revenue, they would not be in the bind that they are in.  How?  They could have rented sleeping space to people coming into the workforce and even called it affordable housing.   They did not.  They could have used it as an International Hostel, and served a different people, and paid their bills.  They did not.

The last appeal that I read in the Herald Times in Bloomington was that if they did not get their funding, hundreds of children will die.  Not only are these people incompetant managers, they seem to be halucinating.

Bloomingtons Homeless increase

The homeless population is now increasing as ever more students are added to the rolls at the Indiana University campus, Bloomington.  In the 1960’s, 70’s, 80’s, the campus and the city got along great, and it really was an Ivy League campus.  Neither one stepped on the others toes until recently.  Now the university is just selling seats to whomever can afford the tuition. 

Since I now drive a cab in Bloomington, i meet a lot of the students, and people constantly ask me if I have met any interesting people.  Well, I had been on the night shift for a while, and my answer is always the same.  No.  There is nothing interesting about slobbering drunks, and have yet to meet one student that could be considered Ivy League. 

They came here and sucked up all the jobs, and left absolutely nothing for the locals.  The bars here have gotten super greedy, and will serve anyone that has the money to get a drink without worrying about any penalties whatsoever.  Even the housing won’t rent to locals, because they can’t afford the absorbitant rent that has to be paid.  What did you say, rent it in the summer when the students are gone.  Very few will rent to a local in the summer because they will have a legal fight and lose when they want to rent to students.

The city itself is suffering from neglect as our mayor is only paying attention to what the college wants him to do. Need an example?  Go to any neighborhood and watch the grass grow between the curbs of the streets and the asphalt.  In some places trees are growing there.  And the city has street cleaning vehicles.  These are jobs that they are not filling.  Why?

Bloomingtons woman’s shelter

I had critisized the woman’s shelter here in Bloomington because they did not do much for the local homeless woman.  I found out yesterday that the woman’s shelter complete with rooftop garden cost over six million dollars to renovate.  They also bought a truck of several hundred thousand dollars, and finally got someone to take over the payments. 

Even though six million dollars could probably have ended homelessness in Bloomington for several years, they opted to make things comfy for the woman that are mostly imported to Bloomington from other parts of the country.  How unreal is this?

Update on me

Most people know that I have been homeless for a number of years, for about the entire time it was because I needed proof that I was a citizen of this country.  Though I have spoken to hundreds of so called councelors furnished by the homeless industry, none would take the time to help me with what I needed the most.  I didn’t even know that it was a peice of paper from Homeland Security that would say I was a citizen.  A small group of people belonging to several different organizations and a church took the time to help me with what I actually needed.Immediately after I received my “certificate of citizenship” issued by Homeland Security, I got my driver’s license, and a job with yellow cab just like I had been saying I would do for about the last three years. 

Shelters all over the country have done nothing but try to drug me for depression, call me unco-operative because I ask them to help me with my problem, instead of me trying to blend in with the people that stay drunk, drugged, or just flat out incompetant.  Going back to the time I was in a juvenile institution (My mother would put me out of the house and then call the police and tell them I ran away.  This gave her the extra money from my fathers social security to spend on her real children.  $33.00, equal to about $300 in todays money).  All the want-to-be councelors that came to the institution were from Ohio State, knew that if they didn’t echo the main doc’s diagnosis, they might not pass.  Therefore, I was a socio-path.  Eventually a master social worker investigated what I had to say, and I started getting the $33.00 myself.  If you just listen to what other people say about someone and not listen to the subject, you just do not belong in any type of counceling position.

I started driving a cab about six months ago.  Even though my schedule says I have to be there 12 hours a day, that is not what I get paid for.  We have to bring in approximately $20.00 per hour to be paid for that hour.  I have actually been getting paid for about 45 to 50 hours a week.  If it takes me three hours to bring in $20.00, I only get paid for one hour.

My living conditions have been quite expensive and below standard.  Finally, I had found what seemed to be a decent deal.  A one bedroom, furnished, efficiency apartment for $190 per week.  After a few days, I realized pretty quickly that the couch made me stink to high hell.  I couldn’t smell anything at first, and then the disinfectant smell started coming through. The smell was all through my clothes.  I complained to the management, which was completely useless.  I put the furniture in the closet, and got some different furniture from rent-a-center.  Even now, I do my laundry every other day, but I pick up the stink from the apartment, which is not good.  I will be moving back to the street Monday.

 

 

Republicans

The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans own the business’s and Democrats work the jobs that the business’s provided.  Most people have known that for a very long time.  Just about all of the jobs disapeared at the same time, which was right after 9-11.   How and why did this happen? 

In the 1950’s and 60’s, a company politically connected, Haliburton, went around the country buying the controlling interest in small and large shops(particularly machine shops), all over the country.  The owners of these places weren’t very reluctant to sell the controlling interest in their companies because it brought the government contracts with them.  When you realize the rediculously high prices that the government pays,($600 for a toilet seat), the companies were very willing to get their piece of that action.

Then, after 911, it was time to pay the devil.  Of course they didn’t just close their shops and go away.  After all they were part of Haliburton.  Why you never seen a want ad for one of the million or so jobs that were in Iraq, it is where all the shop owners went to.  Where else can you get a dishwashing job that makes you about $150,000 a year.

Of course this was extremely detrimental to the American workers.  But, that was also part of the plan to demoralize the Democrats that thought the country had their best interest in mind.  When the working class went to the agencies that was suppose to help them, they were met with depression medication.
