Electric vehicles are to control you

 

Electric vehicles are about control. They can shutdown the electric grid or the vehicle with the push of a button. Also they can track you, and the distance you can travel is very limited with a long charging time. They want you in these or on buses trains or planes so the can tell you when and where you can travel and monitor you the entire time. Now don’t forget the charging of the EV is done by diesel powered generators so how are you protecting the environment.

If you really wanted to protect the environment wouldn’t you have solar panels on the roof of the vehicle and a alternator designed to recharge the battery powered by the wheels? As you drove the battery charged just like gas powered vehicles. But wait if you were able to do this and not be controlled by the power grid what would be the purpose of an EV? Also don’t forget the lithium in the batteries is toxic and very difficult to safely dispose of. Oh and we are not running out of gas.

EVs Destroy roads

EVs weigh hundreds and sometimes thousands pounds more than gas vehicles they will destroy the roads quicker than gas vehicles how much are the governments going to charge them for the repairs? Since gas cars pay a gas tax which supposedly goes for road repair how much will EV pay?

Distacted driving

 

This is regarding the number of wrong way drivers and rollovers that have been occurring with increasing frequency.

I feel these accidents will not be stopped by special signs on exit ramps or by increased DUI stops because they for the most part in my opinion are not caused by drunk drivers but rather distracted drivers.  Especially when you look at the times of the accidents, normally they are not after the bars have closed.

I also have noticed that the police will tell us when the driver was drunk or under the influence of drugs, so it is interesting that rarely if ever I can't remember ever reading a reason other than DUI do the police provide that reason for the wrong way drivers and rollovers.  So what is the reason?  I have a retirement job that allows me watch people driving down the road and pulling into a parking lot and the percentage of people I see holding a cell phone to their ear or staring down towards their lap is about 35%, that does not include those on a phone call using a hands free device so you know they are not paying full attention to their driving.  Last is paying attention to the "TV" screen on the dashboard of new vehicles that has replaced the radio.

My question that I feel would be an interesting investigation is why we are not told when it is cell phone use/distracted driving that caused the accident.  With all the apps and features on the phones I'm sure that the police could check the time of the accident against the last time the cell phone was in use.  If they do, why don't they tell us?  If they don't, why not?  My thought on why they don't either check or if they do why they don't tell us is because it could possibly leave the cell phone providers liable for the accident the same as bars and liquor stores are held liable for DUIs.  If I am correct in this assumption, who told the police not to look into the cell phone use as the cause of the accident and why did they tell them.  Is money changing hands?  In this day and age with what goes on in politics causing the stock prices of cell phone providers to fall because of this liability could provide a reason to keep it quiet.

Or which I find hard to believe the police never thought of checking the last time the cell phone was used compared to the time of the accident.

Bring back a goverment by the people

 

Inflation is causing American families to cut back on purchases and being unable to save for retirement, vacations or other dreams they have. Why? Simple they can’t go to their employer and demand more pay to cover the inflation. They are also lucky if their employer is still in business in CT with all the additional taxes, fees and regulations our employees (the government) has placed upon them.

Please note while corporations have had to cut back on essentials, employees, pay, benefits and more. Our employees the government elected public servants and civil servants have not cut back on anything. They treat the individual and corporate taxpayers as ATMs and care little to nothing about what the increased taxes and fees do to their finances and their ability to achieve their version of the American Dream.

If the government was a private corporation it would not make it a year. It is so top heavy with management who do nothing but collect pay, healthcare and pensions.

One example is DEEP:

They have 18 boards and commissions, just one of the boards/commission ( CT State Emergency Response Commission) has 9 commissioners. Also 9 appointed by the governor why?

My solution is to bring in temporarily managers from private corporations that have absolutely no connections to the CT government no contracts and no people having large percentage of stock in the corporations, put them in charge of setting up the commissions and boards I’d bet they would cut the number of so called commission/boards and managers by over 70%.

The other area that needs to be brought under control are the alphabet agencies. These agencies impose fees, fines, and charge for permits without any of it going before We The People or our elected public servants/representatives. We are supposed to be a country of Laws that are voted on by the legal citizens and their representatives not rules and regulations put in place by civil servants who were not elected to represent us.

If we want to live the American Dream and to help our children and grandchildren live theirs we need to take back control of our lives, our state and our country. We do this by showing up in person on election day and voting out all the incumbents, since they have proven they care nothing about us, our finances our Freedom or our lives. We vote in people who will actually represent us and do what we want. Not what corporations, private interest groups and other countries want them to do. We also through popular vote put in place term limits, and require popular vote for all tax increases and shutdown the alphabet agencies.

It is time to return Connecticut and America to the country our Forefathers started and follow the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Outlaw Public Service Unions

 Time to outlaw public service or government unions!!! They are nothing more than a illegal bought, paid off, voting block.  Also why do we need unions with all the laws passed to protect worker?  If those laws aren't good why were they passed and if they are good and protect legal workers who actually do their jobs why do we need unions?  Probably to protect lazy slugs who get the same raise as those who actually do their jobs and to keep a certain political party in office.  Hey vote for me and I'll raise your pay.  Why do the servants/employees of the legal American Taxpayers get pensions and healthcare the majority of their employers the taxpayers don't?  Easy answer they get those things in payment for their votes.  Time this ends and the government goes back to actually Representing the Legal American Taxpayer!!!

End school indoctrination.

 I would like to see the end of standardized tests and "teaching" because that teaches nothing.  All it does is indoctrinate people through forced memorization.  Do you THINK wait there's that word "THINK" that Edison, Madam Curie, Tesla, Fleming and more would have invented any of their devices if all they were instructed to do was memorize things? No they wouldn't have, but by being exposed to many different things they were able to come up with ideas and inventions not thought of.  The education  system now in the US is just set to indoctrinate and keep the status quo and the elites in power.  America and the American Dream will be gone forever if we allow "education" to continue this way.

A cured or healthy patient is a lost profit,

 

Why don't doctors tell you to eat healthy? Oh big pharma (drug dealers) pays them, farmers don't pay them!!! Take a look at all the side effects on the drugs and remember because of the side effects you have to be on more drugs, each one with side effects needing more drugs and visits to the doctor. Has anyone gone to a doctor and has the doctor advised them to eat healthy and be more active/exercise? I have heard they get less than a week (40 hours )on teaching people to eat healthy and exercise in medical school. I wonder how many people now become doctors to help people or just for the money and status to feed their egos. Just remember their motto is “A HEALTHY OR CURED PATIENT IS A LOST PROFIT”

Minumum Wage destroying America

 Here's a thought that I have put out a few times. While when first started the minimum wage was needed it now used to destroy American Manufacturing by pricing American businesses out of the international market. Not only that even with duties and taxes many if not all imports are cheaper than Made in America products thereby destroying more manufacturing. Time to take a good hard look at how those Elected Public Servants are buying votes and destroying American manufacturing and driving up inflation at the same time with the over inflated minimum wage.

I am a miracle in this day and age, I was born in the mid fifties, my parents and those like them are even bigger miracles so it seems in this day and age. What makes us and those like us so special is simple. We survived. We survived without seat belts and airbags, without bicycle helmets and without anti-lock brakes. We were taught how to drive correctly and we didn't get behind the wheel and say “don't worry I've got insurance or airbags or whatever”. We understood that it was up to us to watch out for the other guy and be careful ourselves and we didn't have cell phones. We survived by knowing that if you spill hot coffee in your lap while driving it is your fault and you will get burned. We survived being called names based on our ethnic. racial or religious origins, you see sticks and stones may break our bones but names will never hurt us because we had self esteem and we understood people are different. We understood that taking chances meant just that you could win or lose, get hurt or die but life was meant as we understood to be lived to be experienced. Nothing was learned by being told what to do. You had to experience it. Insurance was an option because we didn't have millions of lawyers to support. If we kids got into a fist fight the police were not called. It was kids being kids and you learned that fighting solved nothing. Gun control meant that if you used a gun for a crime there was a law against it and you went to jail. You treated your teachers with respect or your parents made sure you did. If you didn't get picked to play on a little league team it taught you that some people are better than others at things and that was a fact you had to live with. Your parents didn't sue the coaches. We understood that doctors just practiced medicine they haven't perfected it and they were human. After school on weekends and vacations we played outside Cowboys and Indians, cops and robbers, war, sports or rode our bicycles. If it was warm out our parents told us to drink a lot of fluids. A/C wasn't around a lot back then and we understood that the pioneers who founded this great country did so by walking or riding horses across it and working in whatever type of weather Mother Nature dished out. They were not wimps why should we be. We swam in lakes, ponds, and rivers without lifeguards. If we wanted money for things kids wanted we got paper routes, sold seeds, cut lawns, shoveled driveways. In short we earned our way and didn't expect handouts. We said please and thank you, excuse me and I'm sorry. We swore too but never in front of adults. We snuck cigarettes and beers from our parents and learned first hand what it did to you. How the first puff on that cigar or cigarette turned you green. How too much liquor made you vomit and feel lousy for a day or two, in short we learned moderation. Try riding a bicycle after a few beers when you are in your teens and you learned first hand why not to drive drunk. When you played with fireworks you knew you could get hurt so you were careful. Most laws back then were based on logic with the majority in mind. Our parents understood that if you didn't make enough money you couldn't live in a nicer part of town. That wasn't considered discrimination but rather it was considered an incentive for you to get an education and a better job so you made enough money to do so. You didn't expect or require the government to use tax dollars to help you move into a nicer home. Back when I was growing up the government was not a re-distributor of the wealth. If you didn't have money for food or rent, your family, friends or churches helped you until you got back on your feet. Living on public assistance was not widely used and definitely wasn't considered a career choice as it is today. If you couldn't afford to have a child you didn't until you were able to. You didn't expect the government to pay for your child and then give you more for each successive one. We understood talent, intelligence, strength and other qualities were prized gifts from God and we didn't expect standards lowered. We understood that standards were just that, a measuring mark so that those with true gifts could see them and reap the benefits of the gifts given to them by God, not something to be lowered so that we could have a false sense of pride. When I was a junior in high school 7 of my friends were killed fooling around in a car. No drugs or alcohol were involved, rather the sense of normal teenage invulnerability. There was street on the outskirts of town where if you took the bump at the right speed, the car would become airborne. Many of us myself included did it and lived. They didn't. No crisis teams were sent to the school, we weren't coddled. We were told this was part of life. You are born you are going to die, some young some old but it would happen to each of us. It showed us our mortality. We weren't told there was a certain correct way to grieve, we had to learn on our own what worked for us, what got us through this sad time. We grew up a little bit more that day and learned to look inside ourselves for our own strength. A year later some of my friends and acquaintances were off to a tropical vacation courtesy of the U.S. Government to a country called Vietnam. Some made it back some didn't but once again we learned and grew up. During this same time time we learned about trust and belief in other kids, adults and the government. Some us marched in protests against the war and kept that philosophy forever. Some marched and changed their minds and some didn't march but later changed their minds. We went in all directions. We were learning to think for ourselves. We were brought up to respect the police. We were taught that you did what the officer said when they said it or you suffered the consequences. When someone ran from the police and there was a high speed chase no matter how it ended it was the person who ran who was at fault. If you tried to hurt or kill an officer and you were hurt or killed it was your fault. There were no organized parades in honor of people who tried to hurt or kill police officers. Again we were taught a simple logic, We The People needed some protection and so we gave some power to some people, it was called Law and those people enforced it. We found that for the vast majority of the times it was not abused and when it was logic again prevailed in that these people enforcing our laws are just that people, as good or bad as the rest of us and branding all of them bad because of one would be like saying all accountants are crooks when you find one embezzling. We remembered that these officers have to make decisions in a split second that the rest of us did not want to make ever and that was why we had them and when errors were made it was just that an error. As when you add a column of numbers incorrectly, so we didn't try to crucify them for mistakes. I played played with a neighborhood kid who was shot by an officer while he was running from a crime. No marches were held he should have just stopped. His family didn't try to get him sainthood, they were just embarrassed. You see they had true pride and self esteem that would not let them be false to what they knew was right. Hate crimes didn't exist, not because there was no hatred or bigotry but rather because we had faith that the vast majority of the people were good and by letting the others say whatever they wanted to, no matter abhorrent was fine because nothing would come of it except to show what type of sick individual that person was. We were also taught the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. That the right of Free Speech was very important and as our teachers were wont to say and the way I feel now, “I may disagree totally with you but I will fight to the death for your right to say it, because if they shut you up today, it might be me they shut up tomorrow” We were brought up on Westerns where you learned that a mans word was his bond and his name was all that he truly had and to sully yours would haunt you forever. They also taught us to make do, to depend on ourselves and not look for or expect help from anyone else including the government. A true man took care of his family then if he could, his neighbors and friends. Also we didn't go around whining or being a cry baby saying this isn't fair these people have all this and I don't. We were taught you worked for what you wanted or needed and didn't expect handouts. We were taught right from wrong and what was right was right and what was wrong was wrong. Lawyers and technicalities were the province of the weak, greedy and dishonest. We were taught that the U.S. Constitution guaranteed us life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, happiness is not guaranteed. We were told God created all people equal not the government and no matter how many laws they pass all people are given limitations by God, and men and governments cannot change that fact. We were taught to respect our elders and by that token to respect all People. I miss those days! Jim Neilson
