Work Fair Executive Summary Part I

The fol­low­ing is an overview of a model for a work­ing private/public part­ner­ship for revi­tal­iz­ing pub­lic hous­ing as the first build­ing block to a cre­ate a sus­tain­able green/cleantech econ­omy nation­ally and very fast, to include pri­vate real estate and act as an eco­nomic incu­ba­tor and alt energy gen­er­a­tor in most cases that is both “smart grid” that is envi­ron­men­tally sus­tain­able and BCP compatible.

It will pro­vide auto­matic income for the aver­age home­owner, income for cash strapped munic­i­pal­i­ties, democ­ra­tize cap and trade, and lower our car­bon foot­print much faster while cut­ting out the mid­dle­men and truly “spread­ing the wealth around”. This pilot out­lined here in exec­u­tive sum­mary form is a model to prove that the con­cept can work, and can be scaled rapidly on a city, state and national level. And for gov­ern­ment use, pri­vate use, or a com­bi­na­tion, as in a real part­ner­ship together.

We plan to focus on cities with real need for urban renewal. The pilot project described herein is in New York, but could eas­ily be repli­cated anywhere.

Newark would be just as good.

As a sec­ond stage, there are fed­eral grants that for exam­ple New Jer­sey and New York State could apply to jointly for clean­tech eco­nomic devel­op­ment for pre­cisely this kind of project. We antic­i­pate a great deal of fund­ing com­ing from the fed­eral gov­ern­ment either through the state bailout plans or directly through the fed­eral agen­cies. In addi­tion, we also antic­i­pate the invest­ment of pri­vate cap­i­tal, given ongo­ing dis­cus­sions with sev­eral insti­tu­tional investors doing very well right now. Not to men­tion pri­vate com­pa­nies who’s big bosses are on the per­sonal advi­sories of the President.

Guys, excuse the oink oink in the piggy trough, but we deserve some help too. Not to men­tion if you think that what YOU PEOPLE ARE DOING passes the eco­nomic laugh test, I mean at least for us peons you’ve repeat­edly screwed, keep on doing it, and think we’ll keep on putting up with the same, while you’re not busy lin­ing up your next lucra­tive gig, you are out of your gourds. On drugs. Highly hal­lu­ci­naginic ones (not that I’m judg­ing their use…many peo­ple use them for reli­gious pur­poses, and hey…what is my place to mock a trib­ute to a reli­gion, much less a diety I know lit­tle if noth­ing about or understand?

And it is most absolutely clear, even oh, four hun­dred miles North, but it would be so, even from miles into space, given my famil­iar­ity with Hill pol­i­tics, con­tacts there and under­stand­ing of that place, to come to only one conclusion.

The Democ­rats, and I include Obama as Cap’n of the ship, are in a space­ship in a galaxy far, far from here.

I would say Twi­light Zone, but that’s where I think most Repub­li­cans are. And Michael Steele is a dead ringer for the Black “Ming the Mer­ci­less,” don’t you think? From that won­der­ful old cliff hanger, thir­ties era series Flash Gor­don. God, I loved those as a kid. With episodes like that you can find here FOR FREE, con­tain­ing stills like the one below (sort of outer space Robin Hood on steroids from Mars).…(full episode in both cookie and non cookie form and mul­ti­ple for­mats), how can you pos­si­bly resist? Who couldn’t use a gig­gle after all, these days.

And if you’re really hooked, you can get your own set of what used to be called “cliffhang­ers” for a price. From say Ama­zon. Or Ebay. But do me a favor, and place the order here, because right now, this is my only sal­va­tion, and hope­fully will turn into a kind of fundrais­ing site for the project you are read­ing about.

I put my money where my mouth is.

Of course Flash Gor­don does kind of seem to of um well to have “inspired” other film­mak­ers in the same genre, (say like oh, the style of the open­ing cred­its) a lit­tle later, not to men­tion their rather ironic par­al­lel to today’s real­ity. Also avail­able in both video game, and movie form from you guessed it, Ama­zon.

So how can you pos­si­bly resist?

Yes, I know, sex­ist as they are. And racist. But even though I rec­og­nized that, and even as a kid (I am the child of two world reknowned mul­ti­cul­tural artists, so uh sym­bol­ism, eth­nic­ity, visual lit­er­acy, where things fall within the fram­ing of a pic­ture or screen, if they are shaded or highlighted.…read the arti­cle I wrote on polit­i­cal cam­paign­ing on the site. There’s a rea­son it became a clas­sic. Actu­ally sev­eral. But the real point here is that in those old movies there is some­thing else that allowed me to over­come the repug­nance of what a very cul­tur­ally, politi­cially, his­tor­i­cally and visu­ally “awake” child would oth­er­wise turn me off.

And that was the sheer and beau­ti­ful romance of it. Plus of course the sheer silli­ness of it. You see I also knew the cul­tural pre­oc­cu­pa­tion with outer space by writ­ers in the thir­ties. My dad and I used to dis­cuss those things and why they were there in the first place as a cul­tural phe­nom­e­non. He told me first hand of the Orson Wells riot, caused by his read­ing of the text of a fic­tional novel about Mar­tians invad­ing the Planet on a new fan­gled inven­tion called radio.

And not to bring up Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, but guess who is really given credit for INVENTING radio? Mr. Tesla. And guess who the fab­u­lous inter­galac­tic adven­tures of Flash Dash Gor­don are based on? The work of Jules Verne. Also the author of the same book that Mr. Wells thought he’d read and give half the Big Apple a car­diac arrest.

It’s also how cre­ative minds work. Which is one of the rea­sons I even started con­nect­ing all these dots to even know where to begin research­ing what I did not know, even though yes, my career has been a bit, let’s just say, atyp­i­cal, and gave me skills already that kick butt. But there are cer­tain things I have planned for this project THAT NOBODY GETS. Sim­ply because they’ve never made the lit­eral con­nec­tions before.

But of course it’s quite easy, as they did with Mr. Tesla, and many oppressed and dis­crim­i­nated indi­vid­u­als, for what­ever rea­son, be it race, gen­der, reli­gion, sex­ual pref­er­ence, or dis­abil­ity, to dis­miss what even they know is both right and ahead of them.

For exam­ple, Mr. Tesla, a man you will hear quite some about, was a pen­ni­less immi­grant, with a head injury (or TBI) just like me and alot of other folks, civil­ian and like alot of vets. Just remem­ber folks, you are not alone. Despite the appalling treat­ment your are get­ting from peo­ple who don’t have a f*cking clue what they are doing. For all of you folks, and their fam­i­lies, stay very closely tuned to my blog. Because there’s a show­down com­ing that you DO NOT WANT TO MISS.

And despite the fact that I have no inten­tion of pur­chas­ing any kind of gun, will lit­er­ally destroy, if not mas­sacre (fig­u­ra­tively speak­ing) the ass­holes in the gov­ern­ment who are per­pet­u­at­ing such policies.

But I digress. Back to history.

Tesla, despite his head injury (and I too, despite mine, had a stel­lar aca­d­e­mic and pro­fes­sional career until the devel­op­ment of a sec­ond and now vis­i­ble neu­ro­log­i­cal dis­abil­ity that gets me treated like merde) was also a bril­liant elec­tri­cal engi­neer, who Edi­son ripped off (of course; rich white guys are really good at doing that, and to every­one, but have a spe­cial par­tial­ity and a long and um, dis­tin­guished, or should I say estab­lished, his­tory of doing so to other peo­ple who are far less dis­crim­i­nated against than white men, although it seems our new pres­i­dent is equally eager to break the color, gen­der, dis­abil­ity, and gen­der ori­en­ta­tion bar­rier on that “dis­tinc­tion” too, espe­cially when their bank accounts make them in this coun­try of “every­one is equal under the law” not only a lie and there­fore, dol­lars to dough­nuts basi­cally above the law, but the real­ity is that this is also com­bined with the fact that there is only so much jus­tice as you can buy).

Nev­er­the­less it is Tesla, not Mar­coni, who his­to­ri­ans now give the credit to as the REAL inven­tor of radio too. And radio and elec­tric­ity are not uncon­nected. In fact it’s the cut­ting edge of alt energy pro­duc­tion, which this pro­posal takes full advan­tage of. Which is one of the rea­sons I’ve been so dissed. The big boys are the only other peo­ple who know this. And I do mean boys. And they don’t want any com­pe­ti­tion from some girl.

ESPECIALLY a gimp.

I mean really, to get your asses kicked by a gimp girl? In the hottest, (as in kick ass Mas­ter of the Uni­verse way) but also geeki­est, sci­en­tific and in sev­eral dis­ci­plines, cut­ting if not bleed­ing edge IT inten­sive, clean­tech project in THE WORLD? Oh, that will also save the U.S. taxpayer’s the equiv­a­lent of the national debt the first year upon national roll­out, and even pay the gov­ern­ment extra cash. And employ alot of peo­ple now. In good pay­ing jobs. Not to men­tion save alot of people’s mort­gages. Sounds like a really crappy idea to me. Doesn’t it to you? And even more rea­son to keep ignor­ing it, because nat­u­rally THEY KNOW BETTER.

How embar­rass­ing.

STUD.

NOT.

So for all of you folks read­ing this by pure acci­dent, includ­ing our troops and our vets, and even all the civil­ian gals out there (who like Natasha Richard­son and Princess Di, also got TBI, except that they died of it) don’t give up and pass it on folks. You may not always agree with my pol­i­tics, or even some­times my strate­gies, and yeah, my lan­guage is a lit­tle off color some­times, but peo­ple with head injuries are known for that too (although trust me, you’ll usu­ally laugh your ass off), but I’m fight­ing for you too.

They, as in THE ENTIRE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT (so yes, that also means it pre­cludes the states) don’t have any pro­gram that deals with TBI. No mat­ter what the dip­shits they steer you to at social ser­vices, the VA, or even very expen­sive neu­rol­o­gists you go to see on pri­vate health insur­ance. Which Obama just wimped out on reform­ing. Fur­ther bur­den­ing the main con­sumers of such ser­vices and goods, for the com­mu­nity that uses them the most, can afford them the least, and has the least access to qual­ity care. Good going there buddy. Great lead­er­ship. Guees you were think­ing about your golf game, huh? Or how much money the doc­tors and the phar­mas and the rest of the med­ical lobby were going to donate to the DNC come the next election.

You uneth­i­cal, lying bas­tard. You know, you don’t run on one thing, to win the White House, and then break every sin­gle cam­paign promise once you get there (515 promises and change to date gone south) and get either my respect or my vote again. Once bit­ten, twice shy. And my ever­last­ing dis­tain. I don’t like politi­cians who lie. Or take advan­tage of their con­stituents for their own per­sonal gain. Or under­mine the core val­ues and legal prin­ci­ples this coun­try was built on. SHAME is the name of your game.

Our national lead­ers don’t have a flip­ping clue. About just about any­thing these days. But espe­cially about how reign­ing in health­care costs will go along way to sav­ing this coun­try, and end­ing dis­crim­i­na­tion so dis­gust­ing and immoral, that this gov­ern­ment is cre­at­ing what I call The Amer­i­can Apartheid.

Espe­cially when it comes to really com­pli­cated dis­abil­i­ties, almost all of which are neu­ro­log­i­cal, very expen­sive to treat, espe­cially a really nasty one called TBI. Which nobody has addressed, nobody seems to know how to treat, there is no plan in the coun­try to deal with. And nobody is pay­ing atten­tion to at all. Includ­ing that stink­ing health care bill, which just ducked it entirely.

So here’s a lit­tle help for the aver­age fam­ily, who­ever you are, who might just have prob­lems meet­ing even their COPAYS these days, assum­ing you still have health insur­ance, a job, and a roof over your head. Which is assum­ing alot I know, thanks to the stu­pid­ity of the eco­nomic poli­cies of Sum­mers. What was that about women being idiots in eco­nom­ics?. But what you will find below is a lit­tle some­thing, stu­pid, gimp and bio­lo­gi­cially infe­rior idiot that I may be, that I found that might help pay your med­ical bills. As in today. ASAP. God knows what kind of merde is going to emerge out of the ori­fice known as the U.S. Sen­ate on health­care deform. But we get to wait for that tor­ture for sev­eral years at least. Isn’t that excit­ing? It’s like play­ing dodge ‘em balls with peo­ple who are sup­posed to pro­tect your inter­ests, and even promised to do so once in office, but then mys­te­ri­ously go MIA…or rather last seen on the Golf Course. Much more impor­tant, don’t you think?

Appar­ently I’m the only per­son in the coun­try who has a plan and a roadmap ready to go on the TBI issue alone, although Work Fair cov­ers every­one with a dis­abil­ity, as well as the able bod­ied too, and included in this plan, as you will see.

But per DoD’s own admis­sion, I’m far ahead of THEM on TBI. And they are the agency fur­thest down the road on this issue at all, and con­sid­ered the lead­ing Fed­eral experts on the sub­ject. So that should give this pro­posal some major cred.

You know who I’m talk­ing about right? The big pow­er­ful fed­eral agency, also known as the Depart­ment of Defense, HQ’d in the five pointed build­ing in DC. And The one tasked to fig­ure out what they’re going to do in the face of a lit­eral meltdown.

And if you think I’m exag­ger­at­ing, I’m not.

I guess they’re still fig­ur­ing out how to spell the name tags for the first con­fer­ence to decide how to vote on what to call the damned con­di­tion, and what the ini­tials should be.

Sorry guys, but MOVE YOUR ASSES. Ever hear of com­put­er­i­za­tion, the inter­net, cus­tomer ser­vice, next day deliv­ery, if not ESCALATION ASAP? I PAY YOUR SALARY. YOU WORK FOR ME.

And even bet­ter that the White House con­tin­ues to ignore me. On this, cab­i­net level civil rights abuses, and in one case, actual phys­i­cal threats at my apart­ment IN NEW YORK (HOLY SHIT. YEAH, THAT’s WHAT I SAID TOO when I saw two guys who looked like Mafioso goons show up unan­nounced at my apart­ment door for mak­ing a com­plaint to the Inspec­tor Gen­eral Office about THE most insult­ing and dis­crim­i­na­tory let­ter I think I might have ever seen from a fed­eral agency. Much less received). And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

One of the most impor­tant byprod­ucts of Work Fair is that it also auto­mat­i­cally gives the tra­di­tion­ally dis­en­fran­chised com­mu­ni­ties (read the urban poor and peo­ple with dis­abil­i­ties) job train­ing and oppor­tu­ni­ties to move up and out of poverty in a grow­ing and prof­itable sec­tor of the econ­omy, and trans­form cities destroyed by urban blight and crime and decades of neglect into desir­able places to live again. It is also applic­a­ble to the rural poor, who face many of the same issues.

What could pos­si­bly be more beau­ti­ful than that? It is called The Amer­i­can Dream for a rea­son. We even give the investors an unbe­liev­ably P&L to back it up, qual­ify for tax breaks that lit­er­ally pay us to oper­ate even if we lose money, for a profit for at least a decade, could not be in a bet­ter loca­tion for sev­eral rea­sons and more than likely cre­ate a few very prof­itable small firms that will grow into a few unbe­liev­able IPOs. And some kick ass tech­nol­ogy. While cre­at­ing inclu­sive prod­ucts that will have to get that way per the accord Obama just signed with the UN. I’m an expert on both dis­abil­ity, IT, and inter­na­tional Human rights. Only 4% of all web­sites glob­ally are fully what is known as “508” compliant.

Which is a U.S. cen­tric legal mumbo jumbo term, I know, for­give the cul­tural rel­a­tiv­ity and see the ref­er­ence here, but excuse the short­hand for legal brevity, which REQUIRES, that access the global inter­net is an inter­na­tional human right. There­fore, for exam­ple, every wel­fare, unem­ploy­ment, and basi­cally wire­less inter­net should be offered for free (it’s not), the whole issue of air­space allo­ca­tion needs to be revis­ited, includ­ing a full and unclas­si­fied audit of it (no one has ever done one, and the mil­i­tary owns most of it.…see where I’m going with this one…) Trust me, I know my stuff. That is pub­lic prop­erty folks.

And Google or any one of the big boys ain’t get­ting it. It’s PUBLIC PROPERTY. PAWS OFF.

And I’m just get­ting started.

Work Fair also saves the gov­ern­ment and con­sumers a lot of money. And even makes money for the state.

The New York State Commissioner’s office of Dis­abil­i­ties is review­ing this plan now, inter­ested purely from an eco­nomic cost sav­ing per­spec­tive as is the State Depart­ment of Labor.

They real­ize what the Mayor of New York and most of the fed­eral agen­cies who have dis­missed this plan do not. Not to men­tion any­one who does know how to use a cal­cu­la­tor. You know one of those funny adding machines. The + sign means add. You know, that one? Oh busi­ness ori­ented Mayor Dictator.

Oh, no. I for­got to check my polit­i­cal cor­rect­ness diary. Does that make me a “com­mu­nist” in New York City Inde­pen­dent Party Speak This Week? Just like the DNC appar­ently has, when they called crit­ics of Obama’s out­right laugh­able Nobel for Peace “ter­ror­ists” (yeah right Orwell, for fight­ing two wars? Isn’t that what peace is all about?) What were the Swedes think­ing and what aide did we buy them off with…something is not right there.…I smell a rat…or a rot­ten fish…or something.…could just be a bunch of fooled Swedes, but I think something’s up. I’ll get back to you if I find out. There is alot of cor­rup­tion going on.

But back to this side of the pond.

It is insane to exclude 20% of the work­force that the gov­ern­ment must then sup­port, albeit in hor­rific con­di­tions, not to men­tion an eco­nomic dis­as­ter in the mak­ing for a coun­try already swim­ming in red ink. And hardly the recipe for cut­ting any gov­ern­ment bud­get. They, along with DoD, and the USDA on the fed­eral level, who sup­ported this even under BUSH, (no I’m not a Repub­li­can, think Bush was like Otto in the movie “A Fish Called Wanda” as in his IQ size was about the same, are the ONLY fed­eral agen­cies that I have got­ten sup­port from to date. Along of course, with the UN who are very inter­ested through sev­eral avenues. To date so far, the sneer­ing, dis­crim­i­na­tory atti­tudes at fed­eral, state, and city agen­cies, like the Fed­eral Depart­ments of Labor, HUD, and HHS, to name a few, has been both fre­quent, and on some occa­sions, crossed the line into actual phys­i­cal and writ­ten intim­i­da­tion from New York City offi­cials at the EDC and the Fed­eral Depart­ment of Labor. HUD (specif­i­cally Dono­van) has vio­lated at least two fed­eral civil rights statutes to date in the han­dling of this plan. And this is since Obama became elected. The White House has refused to return my calls, from the recently departed Van Jones, to Melody Barnes to even Kareem Dale. A col­lege class­mate and anti-apartheid orga­niz­ing col­league from UNC Chapel Hill who also went to Har­vard with Obama and is now Deputy White House Coun­sel (Cas­san­dra Butts) even refused to give me her email so I could for­ward this pro­posal through her, and called me “priv­i­leged” (for what rea­son I have no idea) when I called her up to wish her con­grat­u­la­tions on her new gig, until threat­ened with dis­crim­i­na­tion. I doubt she’s done any­thing with it. She along with the White House legal team have refused to inves­ti­gate ethics and civil rights vio­la­tions on the part of White House per­son­nel and cab­i­net mem­bers. It is gain­ing momen­tum slowly in New York City, out­side of the Mayor’s office and the EDC, who refuse to meet with me, but it could just as eas­ily be imple­mented in Newark or Ana­cos­tia for that mat­ter. It is far more com­pre­hen­sive than Plan­NYC, in fact any other plan in the coun­try right now, and in fact Plan­NYC 2009 leg­is­la­tion ripped off much of my work. The orig­i­nal Plan­NYC RFP, issued last year was so prob­lem­atic that they halted the issuance based on what I believe was my “trou­ble­mak­ing.” I still have yet to receive any infor­ma­tion from either the City or State of New York under my FOIL requests about requested infor­ma­tion related to the RFP itself, sub­mit­ted over a year ago.

The Depart­ment of Energy at the Fed­eral level even lied about the Google install in New York when I ques­tioned them about it. And that’s not count­ing Verizon’s green tax credit’s either, both obtained with the help of ex Sen­a­tor Clin­ton. The con­nec­tion being that her chief backer for her pres­i­den­tial run was Mor­gan Stan­ley. Who also did both Google and Verizon’s IPO’s.

This is NOT account­abil­ity in gov­ern­ment. Much less spread­ing the wealth around.

The Ini­tial Concept

Work Fair is essen­tially designed as a tem­plate to trig­ger accel­er­ated “switches” in the Amer­i­can econ­omy. In eco­nomic the­ory, switches are seem­ingly sim­ple changes to small things that can rad­i­cally change eco­nomic pol­icy and its out­comes for lit­er­ally hun­dreds of mil­lions of peo­ple. Some­times these switches are trig­gered by acci­dent and put the econ­omy in reverse. Like, for exam­ple, Bush’s deci­sion to invest in increased bio­fuel pro­duc­tion in early 2008 by using the nation’s food­stock crops for fuel.

This pro­posal was ini­tially designed for New York City as an ini­tial start­ing point – and for the pilot pro­gram was orig­i­nally con­ceived to begin in New York. That is what you will read about below. I picked the spe­cific site I did for strate­gic pur­poses, includ­ing max­i­mum PR and tax breaks. How­ever it is equally applic­a­ble to any site in any city. It also includes the green­ing of the Staten Island Ferry, which is equally impor­tant for Newark and also accel­er­ates the revival and retool­ing of “bad” Gen­eral Motors (as it is cur­rently des­ig­nated by Trea­sury) and the green eco­nomic devel­op­ment of Staten Island and sur­round­ing New York Har­bor Islands as a way of kick start­ing an urgently needed response to a brew­ing inter­na­tional food and energy cri­sis and a global eco­nomic depres­sion – an eco­nomic fore­cast just announced by the World Bank for 2009 and quite pos­si­bly the next two years as well.

Newark would ben­e­fit just as much from this as well, which is why I have left these aspects of the plan in as well, no mat­ter how sugar coated the eco­nomic fore­casts are com­ing out of the White House. While the pilot is local in focus, it will have national and inter­na­tional impli­ca­tions. There are already plans to roll it out to sev­eral states very quickly, and I had planned as a sec­ond stage to include New Jer­sey for­mally, through a two state fed­eral grant, but even in the pilot ask for fund­ing for the Jer­sey shore, includ­ing Newark which suf­fers from many of the same prob­lems as New York City. How­ever, the con­cept is applic­a­ble to any urban city and indeed rural areas as well.

The financ­ing is not com­pli­cated or risky and would rely on a com­bi­na­tion of gov­ern­ment and pri­vate financ­ing. These days, it’s hard to tell the difference.

Cor­po­rate spon­sor­ship will not be dif­fi­cult. I have already approached Whole Foods, Gen­eral Elec­tric and Gen­eral Motors through the Depart­ment of Energy. Oth­ers are in the offing.

Addi­tional key part­ners, includ­ing gov­ern­ment agen­cies and orga­ni­za­tions like the YMCA and The New Museum, which is right next door to the pilot build­ing in New York, have already been approached, with over­whelm­ingly pos­i­tive response.

The goals of the project are:

• To cre­ate a model for sus­tain­able urban rede­vel­op­ment of tra­di­tion­ally poor inner city real estate and infra­struc­ture and economies and low income pub­lic hous­ing (i.e. federal/government build­ings) as our first focus, that could be repli­cated else­where (i.e. on pri­vately owned real estate and in rural areas). By any­body. We are in essence cre­at­ing a tem­plate, and as much as I hate that word, a “brand” not a fran­chise, although of course we will pro­tect our own IP.
• To strengthen the pro­tec­tion of pub­lic land and pro­mote those stan­dards to pri­vate land­hold­ers, pro­mote effi­cient use and good hus­bandry of nat­ural resources, while expand­ing the abil­ity of Amer­i­cans to both use our shared nat­ural her­itage and cap­i­tal­ize from that access (includ­ing monetarily).
• To help shape national energy policy.
• To set strict guide­lines for how pri­vate energy com­pa­nies can extract energy from pub­lic resources to insure that clean­tech projects are prop­erly sub­jected to the right EIS over­sight mod­els. And that those are enforced. And to wean pol­icy mak­ers off of nuclear power, “clean coal” (there is no such thing) and hydropow­ered dams. All of which are envi­ron­men­tally destruc­tive. This is not rocket sci­ence, and the evi­dence has existed for years. The Ger­mans, who invented nuclear power in the first place, have even given up nuclear alto­gether because they real­ize the price is too high, long term. Just in terms of both the envi­ron­men­tal cost of stor­ing the waste and the dan­ger of an attack on a nuclear reac­tor. If Obama is so con­cerned about coal waste dumps that he’s mak­ing them secret, why on earth did he just cre­ate what is in effect a pres­i­den­tial ear­mark for a new nuclear reac­tor? A prime ter­ror­ist tar­get if I ever saw one.
• To cre­ate an eco­nomic model for solar and alter­na­tive energy pric­ing con­sis­tent with merg­ing telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions and energy pol­icy, reg­u­la­tion, infra­struc­ture and tech­nol­ogy in a com­pet­i­tive global market.
• To cre­ate vital ele­ments of the regional Green Sup­ply Chain Man­age­ment sys­tem that could be used as a basis for cre­at­ing one nation­ally. It does not exist. The ‘green­est’ ele­ment in place to date in New York, the bio­fuel pow­ered home deliv­ery trucks used by Whole Foods, are dis­ap­pear­ing quickly in light of the leaked July 4, 2008 World Bank report link­ing increased bio­fuel pro­duc­tion to the 75% increase in world food and energy prices.
• The Staten Island Ferry will become the first ever recharge­able float­ing bat­tery, and a vital part of Har­bor emer­gency response as well as an ongo­ing source of energy pro­duc­tion to charge the dis­abil­ity taxis we plan on ask­ing for dis­pen­sa­tion for being able to use the Ferry for a land to Ferry trans­port sys­tem, and to dis­charge any addi­tional energy at each end of the Ferry run at either end of the Bay. We also intend to ask for increased use of the Ferry for com­muter runs between Newark and New York as a free and log­i­cal com­muter ser­vice. Most of the fer­ries sit unused anyway.
• Pro­mote and sup­port a local, organic food sup­ply and green sup­ply chain system.
• Cre­ate small green hydro farms for both food and pharma, as well as as energy production
• “Green” the Green busi­ness. This includes trans­parency in online gov­ern­ment con­tract­ing and full 508 com­pli­ance on all fed­eral, state, and munic­i­pal web­sites, includ­ing full staff direc­to­ries. And of course the entire pri­vate sec­tor too, post Tar­get. Plus all appli­ances, which means fig­ur­ing out Braille adap­tors for X-boxes, for exam­ple. Plus ALL QWERTY key­boards of mobile phones. And that’s just one exam­ple and uh, fig­u­ra­tive grenade in my belt. And no “spe­cial exemp­tions” even for the White House on 508 com­pli­ance or pri­vacy pol­icy for its favorite ven­dor (Google). Which is appalling. On the ven­dor pro­cure­ment side of things, dur­ing the Bush admin­is­tra­tion, it was a mess, and I am sorry to say that I’m not sure that this was acci­den­tal or just because of the very under if com­pletely unre­ported remap­ping of the inter­net last year. Delib­er­ately bro­ken or fake links for those not in the “know” are the norm for some sites, includ­ing for some fed­eral and state agen­cies’ pro­cure­ment and FOIA pages.
• Set real stan­dards to end “green­wash­ing” in the con­struc­tion, hous­ing, pharma and clean­tech sec­tors. For exam­ple, the claim that using bio­fu­eled waste man­age­ment trucks at a con­struc­tion site to remove asbestos makes one com­pli­ant with LEED is not an accu­rate one.
• Pro­mote a healthy, com­pet­i­tive, clean­tech mar­ket nation­ally, not just fund exist­ing util­ity com­pa­nies, big devel­op­ers and IT com­pa­nies, much less Wall Street and VC firms and the usual elite. Work Fair will end up cost­ing the con­sumer less and be more BCP com­pli­ant, as well as help cre­ate eco­nomic incu­ba­tors at indi­vid­ual sites per our model. Not to men­tion is fairer, cooler, and just more well, kick ass than any­thing they’ve come up with to date. Oth­er­wise we’d be hear­ing about it, wouldn’t we? Logic, Dr. Wat­son. Works every time.
• Pro­mote healthy set asides for women, minor­ity and dis­abil­ity set asides in fed­eral, state and munic­i­pal green and clean tech busi­ness con­tract­ing with the gov­ern­ment. This includes higher set asides than the 4% set aside (no, that is not a typo) of the first RFP for Plan NYC in New York in 2008 for women and minor­ity owned busi­nesses. Peo­ple with dis­abil­i­ties were not included at all. In fact the city has yet to even send me my requested tran­script of said hear­ing per my rights under dis­abil­ity law, and as a per­son with a dis­abil­ity that affects my hear­ing. Among many other vio­la­tions. Not to men­tion, as men­tioned in that tran­script has no hir­ing goals for PWDs and has lim­ited total city jobs for PWDs to effec­tively 700 posi­tions in a city of 8 mil­lion peo­ple. This is typ­i­cal of Bloomberg and Donovan’s dis­crim­i­na­tory atti­tudes on a local level, towards these com­mu­ni­ties. They lim­ited PWD set asides in afford­able hous­ing lot­ter­ies to 2%, when our sta­tis­ti­cal exis­tence nation­ally and locally is ten times that. Good going. Where exactly do you sug­gest they go? The gas cham­ber? That’s where Hitler sent them too. Remem­ber. You are deal­ing with a state with the high­est con­cen­tra­tion of Jews in Amer­ica. In a city Jesse Jack­son still can’t live down, for call­ing “Hymie-Town” close to twenty years ago.

  Ooops.

  That’s going to play even bet­ter when it hits the news about how I’ve been treated, espe­cially with regards to this pro­posal by the pin­heads ESPECIALLY IN WASHINGTON.But dis­crim­i­na­tion is a prob­lem, and not just against minori­ties, that this nation still faces. For exam­ple, nation­ally, par­tic­u­larly in male dom­i­nated busi­nesses and agen­cies, par­tic­u­larly clean­tech, this is even more of a prob­lem and is start­ing to gain trac­tion on the Hill. Sorry to lapse into inde­ci­pher­able bab­ble, but it’s a pro­fes­sional haz­ard, since it’s also Belt­way insider dou­ble dutch and jar­gon for some­body is pay­ing attention.

  FINALLY.

  But I still don’t see much ACTION. The appalling fail­ure of the Obama admin­is­tra­tion to include the “minor­ity” des­ig­na­tion for peo­ple with dis­abil­i­ties in the SBA stim bill passed ear­lier this year, a core Obama pres­i­den­tial cam­paign promise, has yet to be ful­filled, but must be, since the ram­pant dis­crim­i­na­tion against this com­mu­nity, 20% of the coun­try, will not end any­time soon, and self employ­ment, par­tic­u­larly in clean­tech, offers a way out of poverty, not to men­tion sub­stan­dard med­ical care for those who need it most but can afford it the least for most of this community.

  

  We offer a step­ping stone out of poverty and a solu­tion for this hor­rific sit­u­a­tion, through job train­ing, jobs, and entre­pre­neur­ial sup­port. That also helps the able bod­ied. Beat that Sum­mers, if you can. You hyp­o­crit­i­cal bastard.

  Clean­tech in par­tic­u­lar offers many oppor­tu­ni­ties for what is called adap­tive tech­nol­ogy on the job to level the play­ing field for par­tic­u­larly those with dis­abil­i­ties to level the play­ing field in the work­place and education.

  

  Unfor­tu­nately even the White House is prov­ing to be far behind, if not going in the oppo­site direc­tion of its cam­paign rhetoric, which is not only morally rep­re­hen­si­ble, but fis­cally irre­spon­si­ble, not to men­tion unsustainable.

  What fund­ing exists so far or is avail­able to this com­mu­nity, (like say jobs, assess­ment and med­ical care) is essen­tially redlin­ing if not lit­eral tor­ture and ram­pant law­break­ing for the dis­abil­i­ties com­mu­nity, and the com­mu­nity is delib­er­ately steered clear of the most prof­itable and grow­ing sec­tor of the econ­omy. Most social agen­cies don’t know about it, much less even cut­ting edge fed­eral poli­cies (not that that’s say­ing much).

  And then there’s the dis­as­ter that the Obama admin­is­tra­tion is cre­at­ing for the REST of the coun­try. Do I need to say more?

  But the gov­ern­ment pro­grams for gimps and those who run them are staffed by pro­fes­sional sadists. And when you sign up for them seek­ing help, pre­pare to enter the Span­ish Inqui­si­tion, or a Hell Hole Dun­geon of peo­ple so idi­otic that when they have even heard of your dis­abil­i­ties, or even take the time to LOOK THEM UP ON THE INTERNET when you even point out their errors, they still feel oblig­ated to break the law with impunity, since you’re a worth­less gimp, walk­ing piece of garbage and they feel they can do any­thing they want. Since nat­u­rally they are pub­lic ser­vants, they trans­late that phrase into being pub­lic mas­ters, and think that their jobs (along with their health insur­ance), paid for by tax­payer money, gives them the auto­matic author­ity and intel­lec­tual supe­ri­or­ity, not to men­tion right, to dis­play ram­pant igno­rance if not prac­tice out­right and hor­rific dis­crim­i­na­tion, pre­tend we work for them, think that they know EVERYTHING and could never be WRONG, and don’t even care about their clients.

  At this point I have the names of so many state and city work­ers in New York alone who are guilty of FEDERAL DISABILITIES BENEFIT FRAUD I could start a goal (the old British spelling for jail) on my own.

  But of course that’s not the answer, is a hor­rific waste, we don’t need any more jails, but rather pro­gres­sive pub­lic pol­icy that elim­i­nates the need for such things, and doesn’t solve the suf­fer­ing of the PWD com­mu­nity, not to men­tion staunch the com­pletely unnec­es­sary human rights tragedy this coun­try insists on per­pet­u­at­ing. And by the way, costs YOU, the tax­payer a for­tune to perpetuate.

  Work Fair is not only designed as a hands and feet on the ground, if not wheel­chair, sled, or how­ever you can par­tic­i­pate project to change all that, but a mas­sive pub­lic rela­tions cam­paign to edu­cate the pub­lic about lit­tle things, at least to them, that make the lives of PWDS con­stant hell.

  And stop the ram­pant discrimination.

  Like not being to be able to under­stand what you are say­ing on the phone because of all the back­ground noise, because you have a hear­ing prob­lem? Or the per­son on the other end of the line has a speak­ing dis­abil­ity and you treat them like a retard?

  Trust me, its equally frus­trat­ing for both sides.

  So we need to learn to live together. And cre­ate solu­tions to the prob­lem. Which are really cheap and easy to do. But com­pa­nies, much less the gov­ern­ment just don’t want to do them.

  And the gov­ern­ment, start­ing with the ass­hole in the Oval Office, no mat­ter what he says in pub­lic, couldn’t give a shit.

  Obama’s too busy preen­ing in front of a mir­ror to pay atten­tion to the fact that his lack of con­cern, much less action (actu­ally worse than that) is lit­er­ally ruin­ing lives, and appar­ently he thinks it’s per­fectly okay to stuff peo­ple into garbage cans and clos­ets. No mat­ter what he says in all those pretty speeches, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

  And I ain’t seen SHIT. And all I’ve heard is LIP FLAP. While being hor­rif­i­cally treated, to the point of being beaten up, by his own damned staff. Now is that progress or what?

  

  Much less the fis­cal red ink that is spent in per­pet­u­at­ing such hor­rific and dis­crim­i­na­tory poli­cies. All in the name of pin­headed poli­cies, per­pet­u­ated by pin­headed and dis­crim­i­na­tory, if not cor­rupt and sex­ist, and com­pletely unimag­i­na­tive bureau­crats and national politicians.

  Even though such dis­crim­i­na­tion is already ille­gal it still hap­pens. All the time. And every day. To bil­lions of peo­ple world­wide. And to mil­lions of Amer­i­cans. Twenty per­cent of them in fact. That’s obvi­ously worth ignor­ing, right?

  And dis­crim­i­na­tion is the Dis­ney descrip­tion. That includes gross abuse, which includes crim­i­nal acts (like assault and bat­tery, star­va­tion, vio­la­tion of prop­erty and con­trac­tual rights, not to men­tion civil and Con­sti­tu­tional ones, rob­bery and fraud, you know, silly, unim­por­tant things like that) that Obama’s Fed­eral Jus­tice Depart­ment won’t even take the time to investigate.

  

  And Obama? Well now it’s autumn, he can’t use the excuse of being too busy to focus on the issue because of his golf game, but he NEVER HAD ANY EXCUSES IN THE FIRST PLACE.

  And if some Wash­ing­ton ding dong (read “insider expert”) tries to con­vince you oth­er­wise, that is if they deign to return your phone calls or emails and tell you that you, much less I don’t know what I’m talk­ing about, if you ref­er­ence the source of the infor­ma­tion, and attempt to dis­credit your source (i.e. this web­site) as one of the “left of the left” or some crazy broad who doesn’t know what she’s talk­ing about as a way of dis­cred­it­ing the argu­ment, you, me, or their appalling inac­tion, law­break­ing activ­i­ties and dis­crim­i­na­tion, I’ve got a strat­egy for that too.

  

  Ask for SPECIFIC exam­ples, as in leg­is­la­tion, projects funded by bailout money, or even indi­vid­ual fam­i­lies or pro­grams they’ve started, funded and are actu­ally work­ing that even come CLOSE to what I’m propos­ing that will address the needs of BOTH the able bod­ied and PWDs on even close to such a holis­tic level. Let alone one that will both save the tax­pay­ers money and even MAKE some for the gov­ern­ment. Because just on this health­bill alone, there is no real fund­ing for pre­ven­tive care. And while I’m no big fan of pills, those who do need things like Omega 3 or Potas­sium, and can’t afford to buy the real thing, can get them in pill form a lot cheaper. Espe­cially at sites like this.

  

  Because trust me, you don’t want to get sick. And keep­ing your­self healthy right now is the smartest eco­nomic invest­ment you can make.

  And if you do hap­pen to have the mis­for­tune to fall ill, espe­cially with a seri­ous dis­abil­ity or con­di­tion, pray for a quick death. Quote the Con­gress­man who said that too. Because trust me, liv­ing with TWO of the rarest neu­ro­log­i­cal dis­abil­i­ties on the planet, one vis­i­ble, very painful, and only devel­oped in the last sev­eral years thanks to the highly ille­gal actions and then ter­mi­na­tion of my ex employer, a big, rich, Wall Street bank, I can tell you from per­sonal expe­ri­ence, my life has been liv­ing hell. Some might even call it torture.

  That should shut up your the­o­ret­i­cal staffer for awhile. But not for long, because they are used to play­ing defense for absolutely inde­fen­si­ble, cor­rupt and even com­pletely ille­gal activities.

  And when they try to dis­sem­ble more (and trust me they will, if they don’t hang up the phone first because they get offended at what they usu­ally call your “inap­pro­pri­ate behav­ior, lan­guage, aggres­sive atti­tude or what­ever other excuse they can think of (trust me I’ve heard them all) and also think that you work for them, when you pay their salaries and health insur­ance too) ask them to ana­lyze and pro­vide such proof on paper of their excel­lent progress on the mat­ter, as in Excel spread­sheets to prove it, with num­bers and paper evi­dence you expect and say your boss expects of you in ANY pro­fes­sional envi­ron­ment) in your email inbox by no later than the end of the week you call, at how far we’ve come and their proof of claims in their bril­liance to solve these prob­lems (like say oh, 20% unem­ploy­ment and ris­ing, which doesn’t count the addi­tional twenty per­cent of the Amer­i­can pop­u­la­tion that mostly could work if the dis­crim­i­na­tion was dropped and proper tools were pro­vided (but of course nei­ther is) but such indi­vid­u­als are never even counted by the Fed­eral Labor Depart­ment as being unem­ployed in its “offi­cial sta­tis­tics” or any­one else for that mat­ter because of the ingrained and wide­spread stigma and dis­abil­ity dis­crim­i­na­tion per­pet­u­ated by the Fed­eral gov­ern­ment and very wide­spread in the civil­ian pop­u­la­tion (until they have to deal with it) and the pri­vate sector.

  Who not only doesn’t hire gimps, but fire you imme­di­ately, even though they know it’s ille­gal, because who the hell wants a gimp on pay­roll? Obama doesn’t even want any. He’s only got one on his staff, and his daddy bought him the position.

  And then of course ask your “expert Belt­way Ban­dit” assum­ing they are still on the phone, how exactly they con­sider their poli­cies a suc­cess when TEN MILLION plus PRIME mort­gages for the ABLE BODIED (you know the peo­ple the polit­i­cal elite and most nar­row minded big­ots con­sider “suc­cess sto­ries,” or are even laugh­ably call­ing “mid­dle class” when they are hang­ing on by their fin­ger­nails and toes, are set to go bust next year thanks to THIS administration’s fis­cal poli­cies (and that mort­gage default rate is con­ser­v­a­tive) while giv­ing no help to these peo­ple, but rather rais­ing the rate of loans avail­able to new Home Buy­ers instead (which is called if not stu­pid, then lit­er­ally brain dead if not really retarded and men­tally chal­lenged if not a way for Timmy Turbo Tax to sell his house in Westch­ester) the blood­bath of com­mer­cial real estate and I’m just get­ting started.

  By this time, I guar­an­tee you, that you will have really pissed them off. And I guar­an­tee that if they haven’t hung up on you, they will NEVER CALL YOU BACK.

  Who cares? The point is that if they get enough of these calls, or you send an email to them and say the few peo­ple on the Hill who actu­ally do have morals (plus of course the press and write blogs about it) things will actu­ally spread. And peo­ple will get empow­ered and put an end to this crap. Trust me, it works much bet­ter than tea bags. Mar­cie Kap­tur could cer­tainly use the ammu­ni­tion. So could Lloyd Doggett. Use the tools you have online and work for your Democ­racy and Civil Rights.

  Nobody is going to do it for you.

  And remem­ber. VERY IMPORTANT. EVEN IF YOU VOTED FOR THEM AND THEY SHARE THE SAME POLITICAL AFFILIATION (which these days doesn’t mean jack) they are pub­lic ser­vants, who work for you and you pay their salaries. It’s time they started to remem­ber that. Even if they sit their butts in the Oval Office.

  But I guar­an­tee you if say your first attempt at wran­gling with say a low level Hill Staffer gets to the point I’ve described, and they are still on the line, you will get pablum along the lines of ‘but look at what we’ve done so far, and give the man (as in Obama) more time.”

  Tell that idiot staffer you are talk­ing to, and feel free to quote me, “to stuff it where the sun don’t shine.”

  Not to men­tion send an email to the White House say­ing the same thing.

  While you may be impressed with their titles and don’t know how DC works, much less have never worked there, I have. For over a decade. That’s not brag­ging or me say­ing I’m bet­ter than you. I just know how to spot Wash­ing­ton BS and dou­ble­s­peak. FROM MARS. Not to men­tion actions speak louder than words.

  Not to men­tion results. As in where are they? Does Tin­ker­bell have them? Is the Tooth Fairy plan­ning on deliv­er­ing them under my pil­low one morning?

  I don’t think so, and I strongly sug­gest you don’t count on it either. Able bod­ied or PWD.

  Laws and treaties don’t mean crap­pola, if those rights aren’t enforced, you can’t afford a lawyer who does their job (and most of them don’t, I hate to tell you) we have spine­less lead­ers who don’t lead the way (yes that means YOU Obama), not to men­tion Con­gress and the Courts, who have also man­aged to cur­tail our con­trac­tual rights. Everyone’s in case you were won­der­ing. But espe­cially those with dis­abil­i­ties. And they keep on doing it, even in the age of the “infor­ma­tion worker” not to men­tion the “infor­ma­tion econ­omy” where even if a body part is bro­ken, or doesn’t per­form at max­i­mum capac­ity in the eyes of con­ven­tional wis­dom so what?

  If you read the tab I’m adding soon, about a man called Nikola Tesla, who’s work I’ve also stud­ied, and many of the pre­cepts and tech­nol­ogy of THIS project is based on, you will also learn that not only did he have a dis­abil­ity, but PWD, just like me. And even more inter­est­ing, and even cooler, his DISABILITY, just like mine, gives me ADVANTAGES that the able bod­ied do NOT HAVE, that make me even more competitive.

  Oooops. Guess the self pro­claimed pin­head geniuses at 1600 Penn, not to men­tion our polit­i­cal elites all over the nation hadn’t thought or even knew about that.

  Shows you exactly how um, “bril­liant” they are, doesn’t it. If not just down­right dis­crim­i­na­tory, elit­ist, big­oted, une­d­u­cated and DUMB.

  IT and adap­tive tech­nol­ogy lev­els the play­ing field, so there is no excuse, on any ground what­so­ever, for per­pet­u­at­ing this kind of abuse or even nean­derthal legal deci­sion mak­ing and Con­gres­sional appropriations.

  Much less con­tin­ual pro­cras­ti­na­tion in the White House on this issue as well as chronic under­staffing. If not worse.

  Just the issue of the reduc­tion in our con­trac­tual rights is appalling, and even over­looked by Con­gress last year. It is akin to some of the WORST human rights crimes this coun­try has ever perpetuated.

  As in say “slav­ery, per­haps?” Or enshrin­ing the hor­rific dis­crim­i­na­tion against women? Or the LGBT com­mu­nity? Or Jews? Or Mus­lims? Or let’s just cut to the chase right now. DISCRIMINATION PERIOD. It is a crime.

  There is not a SINGLE woman read­ing this, I dou­ble dare you, of what­ever race, creed, color, mix, gen­der iden­ti­fi­ca­tion or sex­ual ori­en­ta­tion, much less socioe­co­nomic sta­tus or pro­fes­sional (or even non pro­fes­sional) sta­tus, to defend the poli­cies of a coun­try that REFUSES to pay women the same as men, pro­mote them, per­pet­u­ate poli­cies that pro­tect fam­i­lies and chil­dren, train them, men­tor them and pro­vide access to lead­er­ship in busi­ness, gov­ern­ment, pol­i­tics etc. as those of the other gender.

  Able bod­ied or not.

  If you are the best can­di­date for the job, where ever you went to school or not, but know what you are doing (like say Ol’ Abe) you should get the job. And shown a lit­tle appre­ci­a­tion occasionally.

  Even if not monetarily.

  

  See the def­i­n­i­tion of MERITOCRACY.

  And we are the major­ity of this country.

  Or isn’t pissed off roy­ally that there aren’t ANY white women in their thir­ties and for­ties, despite a plethora of white men of the same demo­graphic in any lead­ing roles in this admin­is­tra­tion, in either the White House or at the head of any cab­i­net at any fed­eral agency in DC.

  Not to men­tion a “boys’ club” in the White House and a chief eco­nom­ics adviser to the Pres­i­dent, (Mr. Sum­mers, which is why I am so delib­er­ately rude to him on this site and many other places, since appar­ently nobody else will take the sex­ist ass­hole to task, except say an aca­d­e­mic insti­tu­tion you might have heard of, and he still hasn’t learned his lessons, so I would say there is EVEN MORE of an imper­a­tive to focus on those with say learn­ing dis­abil­i­ties, because Obama sure is a SLOW LEARNER with appar­ently a need for con­tin­u­ous rep­e­ti­tion that women, while our brains are dif­fer­ent bio­log­i­cally, work JUST AS WELL IF NOT BETTER THAN MEN’S).

  And if you don’t know what I’m talk­ing about, Larry Sum­mers was fired from his post as the Pres­i­dent of Har­vard for say­ing things, unabashedly in pub­lic, no less, such as women are bio­log­i­cally infe­rior to men.

  And then there’s the Pres­i­dent him­self, who escapes NO blame, you know the dude who sits his butt in the Oval Office, who might have more melanin in his skin (good for him and so what) who decides that hey, I’m a stud (if not the Mes­siah) because I’m the first Black Pres­i­dent of the U.S., but who cares about women, much less their issues, or my staff who make dis­parag­ing com­ments about the same, or dis­crim­i­nate against them?

  And gimps? Well, they’re walk­ing pieces of human waste and garbage. So who cares about them either.

  And if you dis­agree with the points I’m mak­ing and AREN’T already pissed off (and don’t point to leg­is­la­tion that is never enforced and treaties that carry no force because they haven’t been rat­i­fied yet) what exactly has this admin­is­tra­tion done to date on the issue?

  The answer is exactly SQUAT. As in ZERO. Bup­kus. NOTHING. And actu­ally worse.

  While adding to our num­bers in hor­rific num­bers by draw­ing out one hor­rific war and esca­lat­ing another, with no plan to deal with the hor­rific wounds caused by both.

  Mine is the only plan, per the lead­ing experts at the coun­try AT DOD, to do so, and which by the way, per their own admit­tance, is even light years ahead of THEM. But nat­u­rally since I’m a gimp and a woman, I don’t know did­dly squat to those who sit their butts at the White House. Since of course, I’m nat­u­rally, bio­log­i­cally infe­rior. Not to men­tion human garbage.

  And if you think I’m exag­ger­at­ing, I’m not.

  Then again, we always have been a hor­rif­i­cally dis­crim­i­na­tory country.

  Which not only makes per­fect sense for my con­tin­ual mis­treat­ment, dis­crim­i­na­tion and hor­rific treat­ment to date, all sto­ries for another time and place, but why this plan keeps being ignored at the Massah’s House.

  Because of course, he knows bet­ter than every­one else on the planet. Along with his hor­rif­i­cally sex­ist, racist, elit­ist, dis­abil­ity dis­crim­i­na­tory law break­ing staff.

  But hey, most of them went to Har­vard, so I guess that excuses it.

  Right?

  Um, no.

  Try the oppo­site answer.

  Say what you will, and get as cre­ative as you want with even expanded Exec­u­tive Priv­i­lege (which includes immu­nity for law­break­ing mem­bers of the Exec­u­tive branch) not to men­tion national secu­rity, which I also have a very good back­ground in, includ­ing where it inter­sects with both dis­abil­i­ties law and national secu­rity, not to men­tion secu­ri­ties (as in finance) and you still don’t have a foot to stand on. Or since we are also includ­ing PWD issues here, any­one mak­ing such stu­pid com­ments also doesn’t have the aid of any adap­tive tech­nol­ogy to assist you, in mak­ing such ridicu­lous arguments

  Most fed­eral agen­cies think that clean­tech fund­ing is only for the “best and the bright­est” read “white men only” and usu­ally those from the Ivy Leagues with good polit­i­cal con­nec­tions, unless you are a movie star like Brad Pitt, auto­mat­i­cally exclud­ing women, minori­ties and PWDs.

  If you don’t believe me, just look at New York City. Every sin­gle solar install project has gone to a white, male owned firm with close ties to the Mayor and the late Sen­a­tor Clin­ton. On a national level, these issues are begin­ning to attract the atten­tion of the Black, Wom­ens and Pro­gres­sives Cau­cuses on the Hill, but given the recent blood­let­ting and bul­ly­ing of the White House, and Ms. Pelosi on Cap and Trade of Mr. Doggett and oth­ers, there is going to have to be some real grass­roots sup­port to show that the peo­ple are tired of yet more cor­po­rate wel­fare and increased util­ity fees (which are being sub­si­dized by the gov­ern­ment) while the rest of Amer­ica starves. While Obama increas­ingly objects to real over­sight by the IG’s office on TARP over­sight, and wants to limit the role of the head of the anti trust divi­sion at Justice.

• Pro­vide guid­ance for the green­ing of build­ing code reform
• Pro­mote the green­ing of Staten Island and other Har­bor Islands
• Cre­ate water sav­ing, recy­cling, sus­tain­abil­ity and black­wa­ter solu­tions that are afford­able and imple­ment them both for eco­nomic rea­sons and for BCP purposes
• Cre­ate emer­gency plan­ning for escape routes from cities. There is still no escape plan in place for Man­hat­tan, much less region­ally, and many other urban cen­ters nation­wide. And despite the dis­as­ter that was New Orleans, with a FEMA direc­tor who didn’t know what but­ton to push, we haven’t made much progress nation­ally to deal with real mass casu­alty or major disasters.
• A frank dis­cus­sion about emer­gency pre­pared­ness and how it relates to energy pol­icy (includ­ing emer­gency food stor­age and green sup­ply chain issues). In New York City, for exam­ple, because 80% of New York’s energy must be gen­er­ated within the City (by state law), because all major infra­struc­ture is very old and under­ground, and because of seri­ous infra­struc­tural integrity prob­lems, there must be some seri­ous dis­cus­sion of fed­er­ally backed emer­gency fund­ing of solar ther­mal or other alter­na­tive green power backup and water/blackwater instal­la­tions on every rooftop south of 14^th Street in Man­hat­tan, cer­tain parts of Brook­lyn, Queens, New Jer­sey and all the islands in the Har­bor. If the region becomes the next New Orleans (or the pre­dicted quake we are due for hits in the near future), the sit­u­a­tion, as is, will be cat­a­strophic, not only for the regional res­i­dents, but for the nation’s econ­omy. If the cur­rent Wall Street cri­sis is daunt­ing (and yes there is still one, despite the illu­sion, much touted by this admin­stra­tion and echoed by their bud­dies in the main­stream media who don’t know what they are talk­ing about, much less any­thing about eco­nom­ics, and whose sole pur­pose in life is to par­rot the admin­is­tra­tion for fear of cut­ting off access to ‘anony­mous insider sources’ who also are guilty of spreadi­ing and per­pet­u­at­ing the rumor mill, or if you like the game of Chi­nese Whis­pers that’s led to this stu­pid­ity of peo­ple believ­ing our econ­omy is in a “rally.“Let me pop that BS right there. It’s called, espe­cially to a trained econ­o­mist (among other things) not only com­plete and utter false pro­poganda, but vio­lates every rule of com­mon sense on the planet.

  Even if you don’t under­stand economics.

  As Paul Krug­man so delight­fully calls and I’m steal­ing from his delight­ful descrip­tion here in what I call “The Revenge of the Walk­ing Zom­bie Banks,” imag­ine Wall Street cum Atlantis. All regional infra­struc­ture will be affected, and there is no regional plan in place for mass evac­u­a­tion. With all air­ports down, and the Ferry inop­er­a­ble given the vastly infe­rior plans of the Mayor (who thinks that he of course is vastly supe­rior both because he is richer than I am and of course bio­log­i­cally infe­rior, not to men­tion ripped off my ideas, albeit badly,without a clue what he is doing, among other things), New Orleans will look like Dis­ney­land if it occurs in the Big Apple.And this pro­posal, while the pilot focuses on New York (you don’t start national plans with­out a test or two, even with twenty years of expe­ri­ence), is planned for national roll­out once we get the bugs worked out (see we don’t claim Mes­siah sta­tus and are will­ing to admit our mis­takes and take plans to fix them…just like say soft­ware mak­ers and releases) to give such tools, knowl­edge, train­ing and infra­struc­ture and access to all, to every­one who needs them (like say flood­ing com­mu­ni­ties in the Mid­west whose res­i­dents also don’t have jobs either and cer­tain com­mu­ni­ties who’s towns flooded twice recently who appar­ently, as far as I could tell, the Pres­i­dent didn’t con­sider enough of an emer­gency to give Fed­eral FEMA to, because they were White and not Black) is vital to all Amer­i­cans who need real emer­gency plan­ning, cheap power, healthy and organic food, decent and afford­able (read cheap if not free) health­care, and want to live their lives on a planet if not a coun­try that is still, although rapidly eco­nom­i­cally and envi­ron­men­tally uninhabitable.Except of course, if you, like Mr. Sum­mers, get paid $1.5 mil­lion a week for a day’s worth of work. Know any­body like that? And even if you do, these poli­cies are NOT SUSTAINABLE.This plan is also direly needed by ALL New York­ers who still don’t have an escape route (NINE YEARS after 9/11…how’s that for um, effec­tive city man­age­ment Mr. Bloomberg?I call it com­plete evac­u­a­tion of respon­si­bil­ity on your part and hor­rific if not grossly irre­spon­si­ble city man­age­ment, and most cer­tainly PWDs, nation­ally and in New York, who both need spe­cial evac­u­a­tion plans, sup­plies, per­son­nel trained to meet their needs, and have suf­fered the most in the eco­nomic atom bomb that finally went boom last Sep­tem­ber, caused by the unchecked greed of an indus­try that is still unpun­ished, unreg­u­lated, being paid even more (with tax­payer money), while lin­ing up to make a for­tune on the health­care deform bill and already rak­ing in prof­its off of TWO WARS IN PROGRESS, and redec­o­rat­ing their bath­rooms at the office to the tune of one mil­lion a pop.How much of a bailout did PWDs get?Half of what it cost Mrs. Obama to buy her ten­nis shoes she loves to do photo ops in home­ssess shel­ters (and she hasn’t even hired a PWD to HER staff either).

• And do you know how hard it is, not men­tion expen­sive, even for reg­u­lar folk, not to men­tion for peo­ple liv­ing in poverty to refit even their BATHROOMS to accom­mo­date their dis­abil­i­ties? Where is THEIR bath­room bailout?

  FOR STARTERS.

  And yes, while I’m being just a lit­tle sar­cas­tic, it’s not by much. If at all. In fact I think I’m being mild and UNDERESTIMATING and soft­en­ing the descrip­tion of the suf­fer­ing, to keep you read­ing, because the real­ity is so hor­rific, nobody can stand it.

  

  And I’m only using it at all, to keep you read­ing, and to make a much needed, but mostly over­looked and never men­tioned point.

  WHEN IS THIS STUPIDITY, IF NOT RAMPANT CORRUPTION AND HORRIFIC PUBLIC POLICY THAT LEADS DIRECTLY TO VAST HUMAN SUFFERING AND DISCRIMINATION GOING TO STOP?

• Finally our last big goal is to cre­ate a com­pre­hen­sive approach inte­grated through sev­eral core fed­eral agen­cies (that will hope­fully fil­ter down through the state and city lev­els), on how envi­ron­men­tal impact stud­ies (EIS) are con­ducted, applied and enforced, both in urban and remote areas. Plan­NYC, for exam­ple, left out a whole area of the city (the Rezon­ing of the Lower East Side) in its EIS data when cre­at­ing the Mayor’s city green­ing plan (Plan­NYC). Delib­er­ately. And has never been cor­rected. The result is the com­plete destruc­tion of the Lower East Side, a lot of afford­able hous­ing, and such bril­liant pub­lic pol­icy rec­om­men­da­tions of clos­ing down bicy­cle repair shops (essen­tial green busi­nesses) along a key bicy­cle com­muter path between Brook­lyn and down­town Man­hat­tan because they were ‘unsightly.’

  

  The Mayor’s office didn’t wel­come the feed­back. The EDC hung up on me because I was “crit­i­cal.” The Rezon­ing Board offi­cial I dis­cussed the issue with told me I could go form a picket line out­side the Mayor’s office. He wasn’t about to make any waves or dis­cuss the topic with his supe­ri­ors, but they all knew about it and didn’t intend to change it, even though they knew that air­space in Man­hat­tan (and other cities) is going to be a very valu­able com­mod­ity with regards to clean­tech energy gen­er­a­tion (par­tic­u­larly with nan­otech on the hori­zon, which doesn’t nec­es­sar­ily require direct sun­light or solar PV). It was done delib­er­ately, in the inter­ests of pow­er­ful devel­op­ers who want to pri­va­tize or tear down all pub­lic hous­ing and afford­able hous­ing in the Lower East Side and build lux­ury condos.The ones that have been built so far now stand empty because nobody can afford them, while the city’s shel­ters are over­flow­ing. And now Bloomberg even wants to charge rent for stay­ing in those shel­ters too, which is more than you receive on pub­lic assis­tance. Not only is this inhu­mane pub­lic pol­icy, but fis­cally stupid.

  It costs the city $37,000 per bed, per year in each city shel­ter, more than $15,000 a year than the rent on my stu­dio apart­ment (which has increased 40% in less than eight years).In other words it costs the tax­pay­ers of New York twice as much to sup­port the home­less of the city than sup­port­ing pri­vate enterprise.And Bloomberg thinks he’s a good man­ager and entre­pre­neur? Much less says such things in public?Exactly on what grounds and what evi­dence does he have to show for it, other than sell­ing over­priced tech prod­ucts to a sex­ist indus­try (which is how he made his money) that buys any­thing that smacks of “toys, or more specif­i­cally ‘com­puter games’ for over­grown boys” and has blink­ing lights all over its inter­face as an extra spe­cial mar­ket­ing bonus. Mar­keted and of course very appeal­ing to a male dom­i­nated indus­try right at the dawn of the com­put­er­i­za­tion of Wall Street.That’s called good tim­ing and excel­lent luck. And being in the right place at the right time solely by acci­dent. Not eco­nomic or busi­ness prowess or good management.

  But hardly sur­pris­ing, given that these poli­cies were cooked up and imple­mented along with the same idiot at HUD, who is increas­ing FHA loans (orig­i­nally meant for poor fam­i­lies) and extend­ing them only to rich, usu­ally white upper class and rich white and male folks, when those who already HAVE houses, if not mort­gages already under­wa­ter, plus behind on their mort­gage pay­ments by months, can’t get any help from the gov­ern­ment. And are on the verge of being evicted.And these are PRIME mort­gage hold­ers who are in trou­ble, you know, respon­si­ble, bill pay­ing, job hold­ing (or at least they used to be) folks.

  Not some exam­ple of the stereo­typ­i­cal and usu­ally racist, and clas­sist image (put there most prob­a­bly by Fox or your local Repub­li­can politi­cian) of some sort who com­mit­ted the irre­spon­si­ble finan­cial act of sign­ing up for real estate they couldn’t afford.HUD, under Dono­van, because of these idi­otic poli­cies, let alone New York, is directly respon­si­ble for the already THIRTY PERCENT DEFAULT RATE ON DOMESTIC MORTGAGES. Which are already at a record high, and going even higher.

  Just like the unem­ploy­ment rate.

  And it doesn’t take a degree in rocket sci­ence, from Har­vard or Podunk U. to fig­ure out, rather obvi­ously, that there’s a con­nec­tion between the two.

  Bril­liant poli­cies, don’t you think? I mean they are work­ing fab­u­lously, as you can tell.

  In truth, it is pre­cisely poli­cies like these, and politi­cians who buy elec­tions with stu­pid excuses that cover up the truth, not to men­tion their incom­pe­tence, and fail­ings to date, not men­tion poli­cies and pro­grams they’ve already imple­mented, which don’t pass the gas test, much less the laugh test, that are dri­ving this coun­try bank­rupt, and fur­ther cre­at­ing the gaps between rich and poor. Not to men­tion per­pet­u­at­ing hor­rific suf­fer­ing. Of which they don’t even fore­see. And when it hap­pens, they won’t even care about. All they’ll be think­ing is “thank god it isn’t me.

Work Fair is designed to turn this trend around and do so fast, while build­ing a new infra­struc­ture and par­a­digm for the Amer­i­can econ­omy. In fact it’s pos­si­ble now to cre­ate an energy pos­i­tive build­ing with­out such fac­tors as full sun­lit exposed rooftops being present, or fund­ing util­i­ties to pro­vide elec­tric­ity, which our model utilizes.

These approaches turn con­ven­tion wis­dom on its head, at least the way it’s being approached in New York, and in DC at places like the White House and fed­eral agen­cies like HUD, DoE, and Labor. Not to men­tion HHS. Although the Pen­ta­gon is using this approach very successfully.

These approaches have not been men­tioned in Bloomberg’s “anti poverty” pro­gram, (which also leave out peo­ple with dis­abil­i­ties, when hav­ing one is a major source of poverty) nor have they been addressed by HUD Sec­re­tary Dono­van who seems to think that weath­er­iza­tion for minori­ties in pub­lic hous­ing, even if it’s new and cheap pub­lic hous­ing built along free­ways, (which is what he did the last time he was at HUD) is all that minori­ties and the poor deserve. He doesn’t address the jobs issue, which of course you need to buy even the cheap­est piece of crap he’s plan­ning on building.

Peo­ple with dis­abil­i­ties are just ignored.

The fed­eral HUD web­site isn’t even 508 compliant.

We’re not even wor­thy of his atten­tion and treated like door­mats. Just like he did in New York. I sup­pose since he went to Har­vard he thinks he can afford to think like that that, just like the other elites who run national gov­ern­ment right now.

Unfor­tu­nately, such approaches not only cost more in the long run, but con­tribute to a per­ma­nent under­class who can shine the elite’s shoes for cheap and make cheap nan­nies, which is ulti­mately all they care about. But it also causes huge and unnec­es­sary suf­fer­ing. For the major­ity of the Amer­i­can public.

It’s time for a change. This time, one I can believe in.

Dono­van, just like Bloomberg never cre­ated suf­fi­cient set asides in pub­lic or afford­able hous­ing, green or not, to accom­mo­date the per­cent­age of the pop­u­la­tion with dis­abil­i­ties who are out of work thanks to dis­crim­i­na­tory poli­cies in both the New York city pub­lic job sec­tor and the pri­vate sec­tor (for exam­ple in one of the last lot­ter­ies for afford­able hous­ing, right before he left town in New York for HUD, in a lot­tery for a whop­ping 14 units of afford­able apart­ments, just 2% were set aside for PWDs, appar­ently the city pol­icy for gimps, when we rep­re­sent 20% of the pop­u­la­tion of the U.S. not to men­tion New York.)

And 90% of PWDs are now unem­ployed, mostly due to ram­pant dis­crim­i­na­tion than any­thing else. And mostly per­pet­u­ated by THE GOVERNMENT.

Liv­ing on dis­abil­ity ben­e­fits (usu­ally ille­gally pushed there by either cor­rupt pub­lic offi­cials or igno­rant ones) which means in most cases, doomed to a life of sub­stan­dard liv­ing con­di­tions and poverty. Not to men­tion doomed to awful healthcare.

If you can call it that. Which they still can’t afford.

With no way to even get to your doc­tor because you can’t afford it. And usu­ally no way to even pay for your meds or expen­sive med­ical treat­ment because of the appalling uh well health­care DEFORM bill is the only way to describe it. Which both Obama and Con­gress bear direct respon­si­bil­ity for and can­not duck, pre­tend igno­rance of the con­se­quences of, and directly cre­ated by their corruption.

Dono­van, like his boss, and Con­gress, not to men­tion Obama, just ignores the prob­lem. Like most peo­ple. You don’t think he signed off on that absolutely idi­otic FHA pro­gram that gives all the breaks to rich peo­ple? While com­pletely ignor­ing not only the mid­dle class, but basi­cally giv­ing the fin­ger to the poor. If both­er­ing to even think about them at all.

We don’t think of things that way. Nor approach the prob­lem with the same approach.

Nor does Obama have a plan to help peo­ple in pub­lic hous­ing move up and out of poverty. He just has plans to make the rich even richer, and move them into even big­ger houses. While the rest of Amer­ica goes homeless.

It’s not his prob­lem, after all, right? Because although Bloomberg very pub­licly works for a dol­lar a year as New York’s Mayor, rather remark­ably, his assets just went through the roof.

How the hell do you explain that?

Nor is the pain and suf­fer­ing of such god awful hous­ing poli­cies and the dis­as­ters they cre­ate, any con­cern of Mr. Donovan’s either appar­ently. Even though he’s not as rich as the Mayor, he comes from a very rich fam­ily, has the right degrees to open doors, made alot of money as a banker in between stints in gov­ern­ment, and is quite likely to use his rolodex once this gig is over, to keep the big bucks rolling in the door.

He, like his cur­rent and for­mer boss for that mat­ter, not to men­tion the one before, is part of the elite, a rich boy from Har­vard who deleted this plan from his per­sonal email, accord­ing to his per­sonal sec­re­tary, when I sent it to him at his per­sonal email address the day after his con­fir­ma­tion at HUD. And then, when I resent it, vio­lated the Rehab Act and Title XII. The IG’s office isn’t doing a thing. I guess if they think you are a female gimp nobody, they can break your civil rights and many other laws with com­plete and utter impunity.

Unlike the light­ing fast response from the Obama White House to an IG prob­lem over at Ameri­corps, com­plaints about my treat­ment and lack of response from the IG’s office at HUD and Labor have been ignored. And just like the other elites Obama has picked to run his gov­ern­ment, Dono­van, Labor, HHS, DoE and appar­ently the White House is blow­ing this plan off because it takes a dif­fer­ent approach and treats every­one, rich or poor, black and white, able bod­ied and those with dis­abil­i­ties, like equals.

Not only because I know exactly where they live, the chal­lenges they face, indeed have faced many of the same, but I’m fight­ing for them too, as well as you. And I’m sick of injus­tice, not to men­tion eco­nomic and envi­ron­men­tal sui­cide if not geno­cide, per­pet­u­ated in my name.

Unlike our polit­i­cal elite, we don’t dis­crim­i­nate. We open doors, we don’t close them.

We believe in really spread­ing the wealth around. And offer oppor­tu­nity for every­one. Able bod­ied or gimp. Man or woman. Child or adult. White, Black, His­panic, Mes­tizo (or any recipe), old, young, or some­where in between. No mat­ter where or if you have a degree. Or for that mat­ter, from where.

I know it sounds really old fash­ioned, but mer­i­toc­racy, not the size of your bank account, much less how much daddy (or mommy) paid for your pres­ti­gious edu­ca­tion that some peo­ple got lucky and breaks so now they think they can act the same way as big­oted, white male elit­ists always have, rather than use that oppor­tu­nity to do some good with it for those less for­tu­nate, is really what counts.

At least that’s what I’ve always been taught. Along with such val­ues as it doesn’t mat­ter where you learn. What mat­ters is a good edu­ca­tion, not where you learn it, and what you do with it that counts.

And mak­ing a pos­i­tive dif­fer­ence in the lives of peo­ple who don’t have what you do (and I don’t have squat right now, except an edu­ca­tion, thanks to a Big, rich Wall Street Bank and the gov­ern­ment who’ve taken every dime I’ve ever had, nev­er­the­less, I’m not giv­ing up, and pur­su­ing this project any­way. Like a bulldog.

This is an atti­tude called get­ting up after you’ve been knocked down (although dec­i­mated is prob­a­bly a bet­ter descrip­tion) and entre­pre­neuri­al­ism is after all, what built this coun­try, and made it great.

Don’t I sound like a com­mie pinko? And brain­less piece of walk­ing garbage who doesn’t know what she is talk­ing about?

The core pil­lars I estab­lish in this pilot are essen­tial for fast eco­nomic recov­ery. Most peo­ple can’t sur­vive an ever increas­ing job loss rate, and it will con­tinue to rise way past the “fore­cast numbers.”

In fact it’s past them now. Except of course the mil­lion­aires mak­ing these stu­pid poli­cies in Wash­ing­ton. Who also have well paid gov­ern­ment jobs. Oh, and excel­lent health­care. Let’s not for­get that. Let alone who pays for it.

We have a plan for includ­ing the tra­di­tion­ally dis­en­fran­chised, minori­ties, and peo­ple with dis­abil­i­ties in the work­force and clean­tech econ­omy. NOW. And in good pay­ing, pro­fes­sional jobs.

And even help them start their own busi­nesses. Impos­si­ble you say? Hereti­cal you mut­ter? Okay. Fine. Sup­port this com­mu­nity and their suf­fer­ing on YOUR TAX DOLLARS. And I know you LOVE to pay those. That’s rea­son enough to sup­port me even if you don’t give two hoots about gimps. Because my plan not only saves alot of your tax dol­lars, it even MAKES YOU MONEY.

Argue with that.

But Work Fair does far more than that. And it’s main pur­pose is to tran­si­tion us to a sus­tain­able eco­nomic and envi­ron­men­tal econ­omy and jump­start our tran­si­tion to one based on car­bon free, clean­tech, eco­nomic and envi­ron­men­tally sus­tain­able eco­nomic models.

We have to. And think of cre­ative solu­tions to do it, even if the igno­rant, elit­ist and dis­crim­i­na­tory pin­heads in DC and our more local polit­i­cal elite do not. Or will not.

Not rel­e­vant you say? Don’t give a damn you mut­ter, despite the already com­pelling rea­sons given above? Then you are the one who is really insane. And deserve to go extinct.

In pre­serv­ing the sta­tus quo, those are YOUR wasted tax dol­lars down the drain. And I assume you LOVE pay­ing those. Even if you aren’t a teabag­ger. Who, I have to say, while I don’t share their polit­i­cal views, I can cer­tainly under­stand their anger.

And speak­ing of taxes, by the way, those are, per rumor, lit­tle birdies car­ry­ing encoded mes­sages who con­ve­niently land on my win­dow stoop, and writ­ten notice sent out lately by say our cur­rent gov­er­nor and many oth­ers nation­ally, to go even HIGHER. As in through the statos­phere. Or maybe a galaxy far, far from here. Or per­haps even the Twi­light Zone if we’re really lucky. Plus of course the cost of med­ical insur­ance which we’ll all be guar­an­teed to carry or go to the big house. With stag­nat­ing wages, con­tin­ued unem­ploy­ment that is really about half the coun­try, and even peo­ple on social secu­rity see­ing no cost of liv­ing adjust­ments for at least two years.

But hey, Con­gress can give them­selves a raise. I mean I’m sure we can all agree they are doing such a WONDERFUL job.

NOT.

While simul­ta­ne­ously, on the state level, to add to this night­mare, espe­cially for PWDs, doing things like Pater­son just pro­posed in New York, of DOUBLING trans­porta­tion fees for spe­cial­ized trans­porta­tion ser­vices for those who have no other way of get­ting around and of course live in poverty, and can’t afford to pay them.

That’s called TORTURE AND ABUSE under both domes­tic dis­abil­i­ties law and inter­na­tional human rights law. How the hell is a per­son who can’t walk sup­posed to get to the doc­tor, par­tic­u­larly once a month if they are on med­i­cine clas­si­fied as “Sched­ule II’s” per FDA and DEA Fed­eral man­date, requir­ing your doc­tor to write monthly scrips, (which they then can’t even afford to pay for, much less the trans­porta­tion fees to get them to the phar­macy to even get filled in the first place, which usu­ally by the way takes two visits…one to drop off the scrip and one to pick it up) much less even to get the crappy med­ical care pro­vided when they get to the clinic in the first place? And now, thanks to this stu­pid health­care deform bill, we can’t even fill scrips by mail from overseas.

Not only is this ridicu­lous, tragic and cruel, but a very accu­rate pic­ture of both what is going on today, and what this stu­pid health­care deform bill DOES NOT EVEN ADDRESS, much less fix.

Do you sup­port poli­cies like those? And on exactly what grounds?

Not to men­tion are you pre­pared to write me off NOW?

NOW DO I HAVE YOUR FULL ATTENTION? If not full support?

Because among other things, that is exactly what these dis­gust­ing and amoral, and com­pletely ille­gal poli­cies cause.

And the ONLY way to fix these issues is to empower peo­ple eco­nom­i­cally so they don’t “waste” your money, which trust me, many PWDs, stuck on dis­abil­ity see that way, and most of them want to work, as do many poor able bod­ied minori­ties, is to imple­ment this plan.

To give you the Hol­ly­wood Ele­va­tor Pitch, it sticks the bub­ble gum in the gap­ing holes are elite are out to lunch on, don’t care about, don’t see, profit off of keep­ing the sta­tus quo, and will never fix or change.

But is bleed­ing Amer­ica to death.

And is not change I believe in, or will support.

If the poor are left out of the new par­a­digm change, and con­tin­u­ally if not bla­tantly ignored, dis­crim­i­nated against, untrained, une­d­u­cated, given no med­ical care and left to rot, not only does this bring the entire econ­omy down, in terms of gov­ern­ment spend­ing on things like enti­tle­ments spend­ing, but also exac­er­bates envi­ron­men­tal degra­da­tion and per­ma­nently crip­ples for exam­ple chil­dren with dis­abil­i­ties who don’t get the help they need early.

And if the mid­dle class, who already own homes, are basi­cally left to be vic­tims of the Revenge of the Zom­bies (at their own tax dol­lar expense) rather than helped keep their homes and their mortages, while instead, the ding dongs who drive this administration’s eco­nomic pol­icy have just decided to increase home loans for NEW HOME BUYERS by about $100K to $700 grand, with plans in the works by all peo­ple BARNEY FRANK, to raise it by another $100K next year !!!! in a reported effort, no mat­ter how stu­pid, to sup­pos­edly help save the sink­ing value of the hous­ing mar­ket (it won’t work, trust me, and is a canard in the first place), we are seri­ously at sea, with no lifeboat, let alone a life raft in site.

For one thing, houses are just like any other com­mod­ity. And just like tulips. We plan to grow organic prod­ucts, includ­ing buds, of all kinds. We just don’t intend to uh, bet the farm on them, Excuse the pun, I couldn’t resist.

And just like in Hol­land, if you are famil­iar with that story, or read the attached link, overnight entire for­tunes lit­er­ally turned into com­post heaps. Which maybe I shouldn’t be men­tion­ing given Mrs. Obama’s exper­tise in build­ing HAZMAT sites she tried to pass off as caviar and “organic” on the White House lawn. Trust me, the White House eco­nomic team is just as incom­pe­tent, and headed right in the same direction.

That is what has just hap­pened to the U.S. hous­ing mar­ket. And no amount of wish­ful think­ing, brib­ing, cajol­ing, cry­ing, or wish­ing upon a star, is going to change that real­ity. Much less even more tax­payer dol­lars dumped down ratholes for the ben­e­fit of peo­ple who need it the least, instead of being spent pro­duc­tively on those who need it most.

And the sup­posed um Cap­tain cum Mes­siah who sits his butt in the Oval Office?

Buddy, get real, and start hand­ing out the pink slips. And get used to deal­ing with con­struc­tive advice AND crit­i­cism. As well as eco­nomic and other pro­fes­sional guid­ance from a WHITE WOMAN who is eas­ily as qual­i­fied as you are. Not to men­tion younger than you now, as well as achieved the things she did which eas­ily out­match your sorry ass. FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.

And as for Michelle’s jeal­ousy? Girl­friend, he’s your hus­band, and I don’t fuck with the men I do busi­ness with. As men com­monly say amongst each other and women they trust, “don’t shit where you eat.” Time to learn that phrase, baby. You just entered the deep end of the ocean, and you’re act­ing like well, you’re still stuck in spe­cial ed, sec­ond grade.

And since you don’t have a learn­ing dis­abil­ity as far as I know (so don’t even take that as a diss of spe­cial edu­ca­tion, which I’m very good at, have great respect for good teach­ers, and save my scorn for those who should be fund­ing it and giv­ing it more research and resources, not to men­tion pay­ing its teach­ers more) you don’t have that excuse. You’re not even blonde, excuse the gen­der stereo­type, but I was kind of think­ing about Megan McCain, and yeah, she’s pretty dumb.

I didn’t think that you were. But so far it seems to be a big act. And these are issues you don’t fool around with. As you should know, if you had a con­science. Which you clearly do not, given what I know and am NOT spilling the beans on yet.

It’s time you grew up.

Not to men­tion, how the hell dare you.

Not to men­tion, the White House must be spend­ing a FORTUNE on the mir­rors you crack when you check your makeup out.

Ooops…I wasn’t sup­posed to say that. That’s con­sid­ered clas­si­fied information.

Okay…come on. Arrest me, beat me up, and tor­ture me. I dou­ble dare you.

Oh dear. They’ve done all three. It’s redun­dant. I can say what I want. I’m free. As all Amer­i­cans should be. See the Constitution.

And worse, for Obama, I’m fight­ing back. As I have all my life. Say what you will, but I have always done the right thing, fought for democ­racy, in this coun­try and oth­ers. Opposed tyranny and oppression.

And con­sider myself a patriot. Much as I dis­agree with the poli­cies of this coun­try. We have so much poten­tial. This pro­posal, even the name itself, which those of you not asleep, must have already real­ized has branded impli­ca­tions and poten­tial, is as Amer­i­can as apple pie.

See the tabs and proof thereof on what will be the attached and redi­rected blogs, not to men­tion proof on the tabs already exis­tent on this website.

It also uses an idea that is called sus­tain­able eco­nom­ics and com­mu­nity devel­op­ment. Very hot inter­na­tion­ally right now. But old hat for say the Israelis (what do you think Kib­butz’ are) or even suc­cess­ful com­munes and yes some Hip­pies pulled them off and there are some that are still going and even, hold your breath PROFITABLE. Then of course there were the Universalists/Unitarians. And of course the Amish. You know there are eco­nom­ics behind those weird out­fits, peo­ple we don’t under­stand, mostly live in upstate New York and Penn­syl­va­nia, and they occa­sion­ally do thriller movies show­ing them as con­ve­nient liv­ing back­drop, star­ring Har­ri­son Ford and Kelly McGillis.

It is these kinds of things and those kinds of eco­nomic mod­el­ing, (and those are just a cou­ple of exam­ples, some have been really out­landish, and for­get about their descrip­tion) their fail­ures, their suc­cesses, how they work and do not, how applic­a­ble and accep­ti­ble they might be to an Amer­i­can public…these are the kinds of things I have put into Work Fair and what you are look­ing at now. And is the cul­mi­na­tion of study from many angles for years and incor­po­rates ideas from many cul­tures, not to men­tion I have been involved over land dis­tri­b­u­tion tus­sles, let’s put it that way, at a PRESIDENTIAL LEVEL, not seen, since you know Pres­i­dents were steal­ing land from Indi­ans, and in fact this is exactly what this was too, among other things, and in this coun­try. In 1994 to be exact.

To give you just a taste of what Work Fair cov­ers and my experience.

But as much as there is novel and new and excit­ing about all of this, there’s some­thing that’s also very impor­tant to remem­ber too.

Work Fair also incor­po­rates an idea as a con­cept that is nei­ther new or novel. It’s an idea that is com­mon among inter­na­tional econ­o­mists, health­care experts, par­tic­u­larly those with third world sus­tain­abil­ity back­grounds, arche­ol­o­gists, anthro­pol­o­gists, ecol­o­gists, pop­u­la­tion experts, biol­o­gists, cli­ma­tol­o­gists, ethi­cists, par­tic­u­larly with med­ical back­grounds and of Euro­pean and espe­cially Israeli and/or Euro­pean Jew­ish descent (I mean I could go on but the list is rather long and could get kind of embar­rass­ing in cer­tain high gov­ern­ment cir­cles where this should also be going like a shot), but appar­ently miss­ing from the pin­heads at the White House who only seem to think in terms of big busi­ness, their bank accounts, present and future, and the other agen­cies who are out to lunch and fol­low­ing the White House’s lead.

Includ­ing the EPA, who don’t even know that non greened hous­ing con­tributes to CO₂ emis­sions just as much as cars, per my dis­cus­sion with Lisa Jackson’s DIRECT deputy the day the agency released its long over­due report on how car­bon diox­ide emis­sions are indeed harm­ful to human health.

Which is not only embar­rass­ing, although trust me, hardly the most from a senior fed­eral offi­cial in my sto­ried DC career, but in this case, com­ing from a 22 year vet­eran of the agency (and a white boy with sup­posed bio­log­i­cal supe­ri­or­ity to me at that), but shows you how really stu­pid and dis­crim­i­na­tory our coun­try, if not our gov­ern­ment, even under the first African Amer­i­can Pres­i­dent, really is.

Not to men­tion how stu­pid this whole sit­u­a­tion is from the start. I mean if he can get a well paid job as a Cab­i­net Deputy Sec­re­tary, dis­play­ing such basic igno­rance, how come I’ve been unem­ployed for THREE YEARS? While yes, my dis­abil­i­ties are neu­ro­log­i­cal and yes, do affect my brain, they do not affect MY INTELLIGENCE. OR NEGATE PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE, EXPERIENCE, NOR, SINCE I DON’T SUFFER FROM AMNESIA FORGOTTEN WHAT I DID AND HOW I DID IT.

Not to men­tion I had one invis­i­ble dis­abil­ity the entire time I did those things. And now I have a sec­ond, but vis­i­ble one, caused by the ille­gal actions of my ex employer.

So that means you are going to pun­ish me further?

But that is EXACTLY what is hap­pen­ing. And trust me, While I have dealt with dis­abil­ity issues all of my life (think AIDS and look at the work I’ve done and how early what we called the “Gay Viet­nam” hit my shores), you can­not pos­si­bly pre­pare for the destruc­tion this kind of thing does to your life. From six fig­ures to walk­ing piece of human trash. My life has been com­pletely destroyed in less than three years.

And even bet­ter. It can hap­pen to ANY ONE OF YOU. Thirty per­cent of Amer­i­cans have the chance of devel­op­ing a disability.

And then. Well. Bye. Down the chute you go.

Most of the dam­age done by the government.

With peo­ple who feel per­fectly will­ing, and do all the time, to dis­crim­i­nate and run all over your civil and Con­sti­tu­tional rights with impunity. If not worse than that. And expect you will both do noth­ing and that they can get away with that.

In my case they just screwed up. And as I take great plea­sure remind­ing them these days, they just screwed with the wrong gimp. And I have the paper­work and am pro­duc­ing it, with really embar­ress­ing let­ter­head, and or email addressess to prove it.

I’m not off on a rant, or writ­ing this for any­thing but one rea­son. To get your support.

I’m not the excep­tion in how I’ve been treated. It’s a crime and I plan on chang­ing that, but that’s not the issue.

The real issue is that I didn’t have a vis­i­ble dis­abil­ity (which is neu­ro­log­i­cal like the first, which is caused by a TBI injury…the kind of injury suf­fered just like our vets (even though TBI can cause a mul­ti­tude of conditions)…but also killed Princess Di and Natasha Richard­son) for most of my life, although I am very famil­iar with both dis­abil­ity issues and of course, know my rights, and have an edu­ca­tional and pro­fes­sional expe­ri­ence that most gimps who are born with them, or say, are vets, and then never do get the chance to get an edu­ca­tion, or the oppor­tu­ni­ties, which let’s face it, are rather unique, for what­ever rea­son, do not.

So I’m doing this as much for me as for my com­mu­nity. And our coun­try. I don’t care if you are a Repub­li­can or a Demo­c­rat. I’ve been called both. Plus a racist. And lots of other names too. Like “retard.” To my face. Which appar­ently Obama thinks is so funny he makes jokes about on national TV.

But Work Fair is inclu­sive, where he is an elit­ist. And involves not only us crips, and as equals, with things like affir­ma­tive action (which we don’t have now) but our fam­i­lies, our neigh­bors, our friends, our troops, our vets, their fam­i­lies, per­haps our church, or in my mother’s case, her wig­gin (yes, she calls her­self a witch and a heathen…read my bio and some of my open­ing dig­i­tal novel and you’ll instantly under­stand), but hey, that is what reli­gious free­dom is all about. Trust me, you won’t catch me danc­ing naked and howl­ing at the stars under the full moon on Even­tide. Any­where in the world. Ever. No dis­re­spect to those who do, but uh, I’ve got other things to do. Per­ma­nently. Like I don’t know. Paint my nails with organic solar fin­ger­nail pol­ish. Into the next millenium?

But seri­ously, Work Fair is a pro­posal for a pilot to lay the ground­work and roadmap to recov­ery for our coun­try, as you will read. And which is really a bat­tle for jus­tice on sev­eral fronts, which I’m no stranger for fight­ing for, even against the big boys, and have waged them suc­cess­fully all my life. Even at a very young age.…as you can read right on this site.

Ulti­mately, while this plan and pro­posal does talk alot about civil and human rights as do many of my blog post­ings (soon to be redi­rected to the site), Work Fair is very much focused on economics.

I’ve always thought the two couldn’t be sep­a­rated, but that’s another topic for debate, (I don’t think sep­a­rat­ing the two is what is called sus­tain­able eco­nomic or envi­ron­men­tal eco­nom­ics which are crit­i­cal in our new eco­nomic par­a­digm) and whether or not you agree with me should have noth­ing to do with your fea­si­bil­ity, cost-benefit analy­sis, and rev­enue stream pro­jec­tions I’m sug­gest­ing this project will gen­er­ate. As well as the stim­u­lus it will help kick start into a new par­a­digm nation­ally of doing busi­ness in the first place.

Called a clean­tech econ­omy. Or an infor­ma­tion one. And staffed by “infor­ma­tion workers.”

The U.S. needs exactly this kind of plan and eco­nomic stim­u­lus and Work Fair is designed to do just that, while bring­ing blighted cities back to life again, and help­ing rural com­mu­ni­ties too. And most defi­nately “spreads the wealth around,” not give pre­cious dol­lars to one’s bud­dies, friends and spouses.

Obama, buddy, that means you. And alot of Congress.

While fur­ther con­cen­trat­ing an already unhealthy dis­tri­b­u­tion of wealth. 90–95% of America’s wealth is con­trolled by 1% of its population.

A change that is rather shock­ing when you con­sider that just before Rea­gan took office in 1980, only 8% of the country’s wealth was con­trolled by the top 1% of its pop­u­la­tion. There is some­thing very wrong with that. Actu­ally several.

His­tor­i­cally and glob­ally, say what you will, and I HAVE been trained as a clas­sic econ­o­mist, not to men­tion related to some­one who invented the con­cept of Man­age­ment (and of course was also a very good econ­o­mist) this is unjust, unfair, needs to be addressed lit­er­ally to pre­vent rev­o­lu­tion, is called Oli­garchy, NOT Democ­racy, and leads to oppres­sive lead­ers who ignore their con­stituents for their own per­sonal gain. As in “Change we can believe in” that just got flushed down the toi­let, and banana republics.

And if you don’t want to take such damn­ing crit­i­cism from a girl, go ask Paul Krug­man a Nobel Lau­ri­ate in eco­nom­ics last year, who has the same opin­ion, and THE WOMAN who just won the NOBEL IN ECONOMICS THIS YEAR, not only the first ever to do so, but also uses eco­nomic mod­el­ing very sim­i­lar to that which I use in Work Fair.

Or maybe Che Gue­vara if you con­tinue this kind of crap. Espe­cially with such provo­ca­tion as the crap going on at the VA on top of list­ing vets as “ter­ror­ists. When they are not shoot­ing them­selves or other sol­diers in mass sui­cide attempts because they are lit­er­ally break­ing down men­tally, as well as now PWDs as veterans.

So go argue with THAT as being unpa­tri­otic criticism.

That said, this is a plan that will spread, we think, like wild­fire, and include every­one, rich and poor, able bod­ied and PWDs, black, white and in between alike, together in putting this coun­try back on its feet. Com­mu­nity by com­mu­nity. Block by block. Neigh­bor by neighbor.
