Subject: [Occupymendocino] my letter to Feinstein re military budget
Message-ID: <CAMVrd31XuYsJ=4SH9J7cUOYDwkBYcvdPRwPP2anZL6=81jVT0w@mail.gmail.com>

Dear folks here is a letter I sent to Dianne Feinstein after she sent me
one justifying her vote in favor of the huge bloated military budget.

I would highly recommend starting a similar dialog with her and Senatar
Kamala Harris and representative Jared Huffman

Senator Dianne Feinstein
331 Hart Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510


Dear Senator Feinstein:

I received your military spending justification letter (December 14, 2017).
I disagree with your viewpoint. The U.S. military is deploying more than
300,000 troops overseas in 150 different countries.  This covers 75 percent
of the world?s nations. The military is engaged in active combat in
Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Nearly 40,000 military personnel are assigned
to classified missions in locations that the US government refuses to
disclose.

The United States cannot afford to be the next empire. No military in the
history of the world has been more widely deployed as the United States.

We the People cannot afford this unnecessary expenditure of our hard earned
tax dollars. The Department of Defense says the DOD owns ?more than 600,000
individual buildings and structures at more than 6,000 locations on more
than 30 million acres of land.?

Meanwhile, in the U.S. we do not have complete medical care for all our
citizens as most modern industrial nations do. We have many homeless people
many of whom are mentally ill, wandering the streets in every city of the
country. Our infrastructure is falling apart.

Our youth cannot afford to go to college and get the education necessary to
become tomorrow?s leaders. They need more not less education to become
equipped to face the challenges facing our country and the survival of
human civilization. Humanity is overpopulating and overpolluting the Earth,
our life support system. Politicians and the wealthy seem to think it?s
possible for an infinitely growing economy on a finite planet.

All women need to be given absolute control over their bodies and right to
decide whether or not to have children. This is not a religious issue it is
a survival of the species one. More educated women do not have too many
children.

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has given the U.S.
infrastructure a near failing grade, a bleak cumulative ranking of D. The
ranking grades the conditions 15 infrastructure entities such as roads,
bridges, dams, drinking water systems, schools, transit systems and
wastewater treatment.

According to the government, there are 70,000 bridges that have been deemed
structurally deficient. Each American family is losing $3400 of disposable
income every year but to poor infrastructure.

Along with its gloomy assessment of the country?s ailing infrastructure,
ASCE also offered suggestions to help fix it. Among them were increasing
investment from federal, state and local agencies from 2.5% to 3.5% of GDP
over the next decade, raising fuel taxes and educating Americans about the
true cost of providing robust infrastructure.
"Our infrastructure has fallen behind the rest of the world, threatening
our economic vitality and even becoming a danger to our citizens. We can't
rely on the same-old way of doing things. We need to bring a renewed spirit
of innovation and purpose to this challenge. We believe the Making The
Grade report provides the right framework, fresh ideas and infusion of
energy needed to jumpstart this discussion and create action as a unified
industry.  We look forward to working closely between the private and
public sector to start implementing our recommendations with all due
haste."  -- Terry D. Bennett, LS LPFMRICS ENV SP LEED?AP, senior industry
strategist for infrastructure, Autodesk

The outrageous amount of resources used by the military expenditures to
prop up the U.S. empire is morally reprehensible. The military activities
are mostly used to support the obscenely wealthy and their corporations
become even more wealthy while failing to support and care for most of the
nation?s citizens. We The People know this and are outraged.

Until you seriously acknowledge this problem which could be seriously
addressed by massively cutting the bloated military budget, I will never
vote for your or any other Congressperson?s reelection. There will be
nothing for the military to defend if our infrastructure collapses as it is
rapidly doing. You need to do what you were elected to do - represent and
support the people who voted for you and not the wealthy elite and their
corporations.

Maintaining a vibrant democracy based on principles of justice has never
been easy. In these dangerous and unprecedented times, it may be more
difficult than ever. [image: Friends of Bernie Sanders]

DANIEL -

What a year it was!

Yes. We all know that we have seen a president take office who is the most
dishonest, bigoted, divisive and reactionary president in the modern
history of our country.

We have also seen a right-wing extremist, Republican Congress attempt to
throw up to 32 million Americans off of the health care they have, give
hundreds of billions in tax breaks to the richest people in our country and
the largest corporations, destroy environmental legislation and work
overtime to deny women the right to control their own bodies.

Yes. We have seen all of that and much more. But we are also seeing
something else that, from an historical perspective, is far more important.
We are seeing the American people come together, fight back and win
important victories all across the country.

During my campaign for president in 2016 I stated over and over again that
the future of our country was dependent upon our willingness to make a
political revolution. I stressed that real change never occurs from the top
on down. It always happens from the bottom on up. No real change in
American history, not the labor movement, the civil rights movement, the
women's movement, the gay rights movement, the environmental movement or
any other movement has ever had success without grassroots activism,
without millions of people engaged in the struggle for justice.

That's what I said when I ran for president. That's what I believe now and
that's what millions of us have been working to accomplish over the last
several years. At a time of massive and growing income and wealth
inequality, when our nation moves closer and closer to an oligarchic form
of society, we are working hard and effectively to create an unprecedented
grassroots political movement to defeat the greed of the billionaire class
and the politicians they own.

And the good news is that we're making progress. In state after state
ordinary Americans are successfully taking on establishment politicians who
are more concerned about protecting their wealthy campaign contributors
than the needs of the middle class or working people they are supposed to
represent.

In 2017 we made progress when millions of people, in every state in the
country, took to the streets for the Women's March in opposition to Trump's
reactionary agenda. We made progress when an unprecedented grassroots
movement elected a young African-American as mayor of Birmingham, Alabama.
We made progress when tens of thousands of Americans turned out in rallies
and town meetings to successfully oppose the Republican efforts to repeal
the Affordable Care Act, and we're making progress when more and more
Americans are joining the fight for a Medicare-for-all, single-payer
program.

We're making progress when governors and local officials in every part of
the country announce, in response to student demands, tuition-free public
colleges and universities. We're making progress when states and
communities from coast to coast adopt legislation which provides a minimum
wage of $15 an hour.

We're making progress when, on Election Day, Nov. 7, 2017, in local and
state elections all across the country, Trumpism suffered a major defeat as
hundreds of progressive first time candidates from every conceivable
background ran for school board, city council, state legislature and other
local offices - and many of them won.

We're making progress when, on Dec. 10, 2017, a strong Democrat was elected
to the U.S. Senate from Alabama, one of the most conservative states in the
country.

The truth is that the American people are far more united than the media
allows us to believe. They get it. They know that over the last 40 years,
despite a huge increase in worker productivity, the middle class has
continued to shrink while the very rich have become much richer. They know
that, for the first time in the modern history of the United States, our
kids will likely have a lower standard of living than their parents.

Our job, in 2018 and beyond, for the sake of our kids and grandchildren, is
to bring our people together around a progressive agenda.

Are the people of our country deeply concerned about the grotesque level of
income and wealth inequality that we are experiencing? You bet they are. Do
they believe that our campaign finance system is corrupt and enables the
rich to buy elections? By overwhelming numbers.

Do they want to raise the minimum wage to a living wage and provide pay
equity for women workers? Yes they do. Do they think the very rich and
large corporations should pay more in taxes so that all of our kids can
have free tuition at public colleges and universities? Yup. Do they believe
that the United States should join every other major country and guarantee
health care as a right? Yes, again. Do they believe climate change is real?
You've got to be kidding. Are they tired of the United States of America,
the wealthiest country in the history of the world, having a crumbling
infrastructure with roads, bridges, water systems, wastewater plants,
airports, rail, levees and dams falling apart? Who isn't?

Further, a majority of the American people want comprehensive immigration
reform and a criminal justice system that is based on justice, not racism
or mass incarceration.

Today, what the American people want is not what they are getting. In fact,
under Republican leadership in the House, Senate and White House, they are
getting exactly the opposite of what they want.

The American people want a government which represents all of us. Instead,
they are getting a government which represents the interests and extremist
ideology of wealthy campaign contributors. They want environmental policies
which combat climate change and pollution, and which will allow our kids to
live in a healthy and habitable planet. Instead, they are getting executive
orders and legislation which pushes more fossil fuel production, more
greenhouse gas emissions and more pollution. They want a nation in which
all people are treated with dignity and respect, and where we continue our
decades long struggle to end discrimination based on race, religion,
gender, sexual orientation or nation of origin. Instead, they have a
president who seeks to win political support appealing to those very
prejudices.

Maintaining a vibrant democracy based on principles of justice has never
been easy. In these dangerous and unprecedented times, it may be more
difficult than ever.

As a result of the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision,
billionaires are now able to spend hundreds of millions in ugly TV ads
demonizing candidates who dare to stand up to them. Republican governors
and legislatures are working to suppress the vote, making it harder for
people of color, poor people and young people to vote. Republican state
legislatures have created incredibly gerrymandered districts which unfairly
protect Republican candidates.

Yes, I know. These are painful and frightening times. Many friends have
told me that they have given up reading the papers or watching TV. But let
us be clear. Despair is not an option. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not
anytime. That is exactly what our enemies want. Also, please never forget
that the struggle we are engaged in is not just for us. It is for our kids
and grandchildren. It is for the future of the planet.

So here is a New Year's resolution I hope you will share with me. In 2018
we will not only intensify the struggle against Trumpism, we will increase
our efforts to spread the progressive vision in every corner of the land.
Yes. We will create a vibrant democracy where the voices of all people are
heard. Yes. We will create a nation which leads the world in the struggle
for peace, and for economic, social, racial and environmental justice.

*Make a $3 donation today to help me continue to organize and grow our
political revolution across the country to take on Trumpism and build
support for the progressive vision for America's future that we share.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Should Progressives Fight for a Federal Jobs
	Guarantee or Universal Basic Income?
Message-ID: <71886EB2-AAF8-45A8-8E2F-E368CF799B6E@mcn.org>


"What Sounds Better To You - Guaranteed Basic Income Or Federal Job Guarantee? <https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2017/12/sounds-better-guaranteed-basic-income-federal-job-guartantee.html>". That's the headline that Yves Smith posted over at Naked Capitalism last week and it's a reprint of an article by Howie Klein that was originally published over at Down With Tyranny! <https://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2017/12/what-sounds-better-to-you-guaranteed.html#undefined.ejhh.gbpl.uxfs> and it's a take-off on a year old piece in Jacobinmagazine, Why We Need a Federal Job Guarantee <https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/02/federal-job-guarantee-universal-basic-income-investment-jobs-unemployment/>. And at the beginning you've got basically raw capitalism, an economic system where those with capital basically own the system. It's a neo-feudal system. It's a reinvention of a form of economics and politics that ruled Europe and Asia and South America for millennia.

And this is the modern version of it: at-will employment, the right to work for less states, the employer has all the power, the employee has no power. That's the starting point, and that's where we were when we started the Republic.

And then unions rose and workers demanded rights and citizens demanded regulations to protect themselves from being poisoned by big companies or being robbed by big companies, etc. And then we went from a raw capitalism to regulated capitalism, which seems like a good first step.

And now there's two steps beyond that. What do you do when capitalism itself starts to fail? At least in this context, the 'capitalism = jobs' formula.

Because what is happening increasingly in this era of monopoly or oligopoly - a small number of very large corporations owning everything from our media, to our food supply, to everything else - is that we're seeing this extraordinary concentration of power.

They're using that power to reduce our wages, reduce our benefits and make us all poorer so that the 1% can get richer. And that's exactly what's been going on ever since the Reagan presidency kicked off this process.

So what do you do about it? Well, there's a couple of solutions.

One that has come out of Europe is the Universal Basic Income (UBI): everybody gets a certain amount of money every year, say $10,000, whether they work or not, no matter what they do.

The problem with the UBI is that it is hard to understand and easy to attack. It doesn't make a good bumper sticker.

So what they're recommending is that instead of doing the UBI, we do what Franklin Roosevelt did in the 1930s which worked spectacularly well. It got us out of the Great Depression. And the way that he put it together was, as long as the federal unemployment rate was above 25 percent, the federal government offered and guaranteed jobs to people. We did it through all these acronym agencies: the WPA (the Works Progress Administration <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_Progress_Administration>), the CCC (the Civilian Conservation Corps <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps>), the TVA (the Tennessee Valley Authority <http://www.tva.com/abouttva/history.htm>), on and on they went.

There were all these organizations that Roosevelt created, that were created as a result of the New Deal <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal> that were basically government jobs. And this is called a Federal Job Guarantee - an FJG - and there's a whole bunch of reasons why a federal job guarantee would be a good thing:

Number one, there would be fewer poor Americans. Why? Because the federal job would come with a reasonable wage and it would become the new wage floor. Howie Klein is suggesting that the federal job guarantee should be jobs that pay at least $23,000 a year rising to a median of $32,000 a year.

Federal jobs can provide socially useful goods and services. We need to rebuild our roads. We need to take care of our national parks. Our infrastructure is in shambles. These would be good jobs.

And it provides a social environment for people in the workplace.

It provides a wage floor.

It stabilizes our economy.

What's not to like about it?

Hi,

I signed a petition to The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate which says:

"The Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program allowed me to stay in the United States to seek safety from violence from in El Salvador where I was born. As a working mother of four children who were born in the United States, I am calling on Congress to find a permanent bipartisan solution to protecting the 320,000 immigrants with TPS. Please sign my petition to ensure families like mine are not ripped apart and sent back to nations devastated by disasters and genocide."

Will you sign this petition? Click here:

Beloved friends, It is delightful to be with you in 2018 being in the world
of peace, love and nonviolence with each other, reforming the society as
best we can. With Barbara's help, I'm actively writing what I think are
"urgent action" messages focused on avoiding nuclear war. Inviting your
participation and criticism. Can we write a "People's Nuclear Posture
Review," to see if we can change basic U.S. strategy from escalating
first-strike threat to "deterrence only"?

This is newsletter put out by the anti nuke group: the Veterans for Peace Golden 
Rule Project out of the Eureka area. They came through Fort Bragg last year and 
planned to show their world traveling Peace Boat but were unable to dock because of 
rough oceanconditions. Occupy Mendocino folks joined them for several presentations
and agreed to start a Facebook anti nuke site to support activities to help spread infor
motion about all anti nuke efforts. 

Here?s the O.M. site: https://www.facebook.com/NorthCoastOccupyGroup/ <https://www.facebook.com/NorthCoastOccupyGroup/>

Check it out and feel free to post anti nuclear articles and information on it. 

Thanks, Richard Karch  ( current manager of North Coast Anti Nuke site)

From the organizers of the Women?s March.  on Jan 210. See ya there!

Women?s March January 20th 11:00 am
Town Hall, Fort Bragg

TIPS FOR PARTICIPANTS

Let?s have a fun, safe, effective day. Here are some things you can do to
help make it happen.

* Plan to carpool if you can. Parking will be challenging.
* If walking is easy for you, please park at a distance and leave the best
parking spots for folks who have to save their energy for the 10-block
march.
* Stay on the sidewalks, wait for stoplights, and watch for traffic.
Volunteers will be at the intersections to help with this. 
* We march rain or shine, so make a plan for rain. Don?t let it keep you
at home!
* Bring your own water and/or snacks.
* Help pick up trash, and bring your sign home with you.
* Participants with disabilities have several options. One group will stay
at Town Hall and maintain a Main Street presence throughout the march.
Walking the 3 blocks straight to Bainbridge Park at 11:30 is another
option. If disabled participants need a ride to their cars after the
program ends at Bainbridge, there will be private citizens offering rides.

U.S. People's Nuclear Posture: Deterrence Only to Avoid Nuclear Attack

Jan.18,2018

As Donald Trump prepares to announce a nuclear weapons posture based on
aggressive first-strike threat, I'm inviting all my fellow hostages to
Trump's insane provocation of nuclear attack to join me now in making a
"U.S. People's Nuclear Posture" based on Deterrence Only to Avoid Nuclear
Attack.

I believe the greatest threat to our nation's survival is the increasing
danger of "accidental" nuclear war erupting from the many "flash points" of
confrontation. Trump's threats to destroy North Korea have the nuclear
forces of Russia, China, and North Korea on edge. For our own safety, the
U.S. must de-escalate all threats and military confrontations with these
nuclear powers.

Inspired by the two Koreas agreeing to open the Winter Olympics under one
flag for a unified Korea, and by the 122 nations signing the Treaty to Ban
Nuclear Weapons, let's announce a U.S. People's Nuclear Posture of
Deterrence Only to Avoid Nuclear Attack.

Ann,

One year ago, upon his inauguration, Donald Trump described a bleak future for U.S. workers, but declared that, ?This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.?

Since then Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers have passed a massive tax cut for wealthy business owners, rolled back critical protections for working people, and advanced nominees to key cabinet posts and courts?including the U.S. Supreme Court?who are hostile to workers? rights and wages.

Now, EPI has published a new report detailing the 10 worst actions taken by Congress and Donald Trump in the last year. Click here to read ?Ten actions that hurt workers during Trump?s first year.?<https://epi.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ec2361f981a14ee1d45cccaa9&id=dbba0316bd&e=bb10d77a5a>

Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers have taken billions of dollars out of the pockets of working people?including abandoning overtime protections for millions of low- and middle-income people.

Click here to see the wages lost since Trump?s Department of Labor abandoned the overtime pay rule. You can look at national results to see how this policy is impacting 12.5 million working people, or you can sort by state to see how Trump?s actions directly impact you and your neighbors.<https://epi.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ec2361f981a14ee1d45cccaa9&id=d9b424a0e8&e=bb10d77a5a>

Donald Trump has ensured that Wall Street advisers can pocket more of our retirement savings by refusing to fully enact the fiduciary rule.

He?s fighting on the side of corporate interests who want carte blanche to block working people from accessing the courts by allowing mandatory arbitration clauses in employment contracts.

He?s stacked the Federal Reserve Board with candidates friendlier to Wall Street than to working families. And so much more!

Click here to read EPI?s ?Ten actions that hurt workers during Trump?s first year??a full account of the 10 worst actions taken by Congress and Donald Trump in the first year of the Trump presidency.<https://epi.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ec2361f981a14ee1d45cccaa9&id=82a99c30d0&e=bb10d77a5a>

We are not sitting on the sidelines as Donald Trump attacks the rights and wages of working people. Together, we?re demanding an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few.

Sincerely,

Liz Rose

Dear OCCUPIERS:
At last Years Womens' March 1/20/17, I lost a digital camera,
a PENTAX Optio WG~2, it has a sturdy waterproof case, with orange details.
here's a link with a good picture:
https://www.theverge.com/2012/2/9/2786252/pentax-optio-wg-2-gps-hands-on
Somehow it did not come home with me!
Did You find it? It may have been lost/found? at the Eagles Hall
end-of-the march event.
I'd sure like to get it back (& return it to its owner!)
Generous Reward offered!

I agree Ann.  At least one of the best MLKs. Very enjoyable and informative. We used all the chairs we could find and still had people standing.  Sound was as good as we;ve ever had it too.  Maybe
a little ?squeaky? when trying to get all panelists heard, but mostly audible all over the hall. Food offerings were perfect.  I liked the touch of hummus being on the table
with the bread. Food prep folks were so efficient that it didn?t take away from the program. CCC youth were superb and thought ahead. Most chairs out of other rooms
were put back ?automatically?. I saw the pictures from the march and thought that looked like a enthusiastic fun time too.  Good Work All!  

> Richard

PS: I heard that maybe a different future venue is being considered?  I have a fondness for this place, not only because it is a very reasonable priced, but that it is such a great support place for
homeless services and other.  I t had been an extreme weather shelter the night before we used it and used for a homeless and needy sack lunch program on the same
day we were there, and would be used as a homeless shelter the night after our event.  Lots of people were served in one week by this little Trinity Hall!

Protect the Pacific

The Trump administration continues to raise the bar on its egregious favoritism to the fossil fuel industry while ignoring the sensitive environment it aims to destroy and the public's opposition to that destruction.

The administration has announced plans to accept bids for offshore oil leases everywhere along our coasts (Atlantic and Pacific) except for Florida. Six sites in California would be immediately included, two in the south, two in the center, and two here on the North Coast. We don't need to tell you how coastal drilling fouls our pristine beaches and fragile wildlife habitats. You've seen it. You know what an oil spill can do.

We all heaved a sigh of relief in 2015 when President Obama authorized the expansion of the Cordell Banks and Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuaries off our local coasts, more than doubling their size and establishing what was intended to be permanent protection for the most fragile parts of the Sonoma and Mendocino coasts to north of Point Arena. At the Gualala celebration of this decree Congressman Jared Huffman speculated about pushing the boundaries even farther north: ?there?s no logical stopping point short of the Arctic.?

Sierra Club has successfully defeated past efforts to drill along the Sonoma and Mendocino coasts, and we will continue that fight today.

Trump's ?America First Energy Policy?  incorporates direct threats to five National Marine Sanctuary designations, including Cordell Banks and Greater Farallones. The Point Arena Basin, which is half in and half out of the Sanctuary, may be particularly at risk.

We can?t let this catastrophe take place.

One hearing is proposed in each coastal state ? all sited in state capitals, and away from the coastal communities where massive attendance from an outraged public would be likely.

California?s hearing will be held on Feb. 8 from 3 to 7 p.m. at the obscure Tsakopoulos Library Galleria, 828 "I" Street, Sacramento.

We will be there to comment and rally. We hope you will join us, too. We need your voice.

If you can attend the rally and/or the meeting in Sacramento, we will be organizing some carpools and possibly provide bus transportation from Santa Rosa.

> Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase & Co. to partner on U.S. employee healthcare
> 
> Goal is to improve U.S. employee satisfaction while reducing overall costs
> 
> SEATTLE & OMAHA, Neb. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A, BRK.B) and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) announced today that they are partnering on ways to address healthcare for their U.S. employees, with the aim of improving employee satisfaction and reducing costs. The three companies, which bring their scale and complementary expertise to this long-term effort, will pursue this objective through an independent company that is free from profit-making incentives and constraints. The initial focus of the new company will be on technology solutions that will provide U.S. employees and their families with simplified, high-quality and transparent healthcare at a reasonable cost.
> 
> Tackling the enormous challenges of healthcare and harnessing its full benefits are among the greatest issues facing society today. By bringing together three of the world?s leading organizations into this new and innovative construct, the group hopes to draw on its combined capabilities and resources to take a fresh approach to these critical matters.
> 
> ?The ballooning costs of healthcare act as a hungry tapeworm on the American economy. Our group does not come to this problem with answers. But we also do not accept it as inevitable. Rather, we share the belief that putting our collective resources behind the country?s best talent can, in time, check the rise in health costs while concurrently enhancing patient satisfaction and outcomes,? said Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and CEO, Warren Buffett.
> 
> ?The healthcare system is complex, and we enter into this challenge open-eyed about the degree of difficulty,? said Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO. ?Hard as it might be, reducing healthcare?s burden on the economy while improving outcomes for employees and their families would be worth the effort. Success is going to require talented experts, a beginner?s mind, and a long-term orientation.?
> 
> ?Our people want transparency, knowledge and control when it comes to managing their healthcare,? said Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase. ?The three of our companies have extraordinary resources, and our goal is to create solutions that benefit our U.S. employees, their families and, potentially, all Americans,? he added.
> 
> The effort announced today is in its early planning stages, with the initial formation of the company jointly spearheaded by Todd Combs, an investment officer of Berkshire Hathaway; Marvelle Sullivan Berchtold, a Managing Director of JPMorgan Chase; and Beth Galetti, a Senior Vice President at Amazon. The longer-term management team, headquarters location and key operational details will be communicated in due course.

> The headline in this morning's online edition of The New York Times: "Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Team Up to Disrupt Health Care <https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/30/technology/amazon-berkshire-hathaway-jpmorgan-health-care.html>." Disruption? Above is reproduced the actual full statement from Business Wire (A Berkshire Hathaway Company). So what is their message?
> 
> For decades the business community has struggled with trying to provide health benefits for their employees, but costs have continued to rise well in excess of inflation in spite of policies put in place to slow the growth in costs - policies that have displeased employees such as high deductibles and other cost sharing and narrow provider networks that limit choice in health care, not to mention passing some of the premium increases on to the employees.
> 
> In this communication, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos and Jamie Dimon acknowledge the need to ensure employee satisfaction and the need to control health care costs. They have now decided to join forces to use their brilliance and expertise to finally solve this problem for the benefit of their own employees. As successful businessmen they have decided that the best approach would be to establish a not-for-profit independent company looking for solutions in technology that will "provide U.S. employees and their families with simplified, high-quality and transparent healthcare at a reasonable cost."

> 
> The release states, "The longer-term management team, headquarters location and key operational details will be communicated in due course."
> 
> So they do not have a plan, but they plan to have a plan.
> 
> They intend to start with talented experts, but they appear to be looking in the technology world when they need to turn to the health policy arena since mere technological gimmicks are not going to have a significant impact on the problems that concern them.
> 
> The obvious caveat when they turn to the policy community is that they have to sort out those who propose policies proven to be capable of achieving their goals from those who propose policies based predominantly on anti-government, pro-market ideology. We already have the latter, and it is what has brought us to our knees. Several other nations have the former which has provided them with comprehensive care for everyone at an average of half of what we spend per capita on health care.
> 
> Warren Buffett already knows this. He recently said, "With my limited knowledge, I think that (single payer) probably is the best system. We are such a rich country. In a sense, we can afford to do it. <https://www.rt.com/usa/394426-warren-buffett-rich-america/>?
> 
> An independent health benefit company serving their employees, even if including the employees of a large conglomeration of other companies, could not adapt most of the beneficial features of a well designed single payer model. Most of the policy defects that result in the dysfunction of our health care financing would remain in place. As smart businessmen, the last thing they should want is to invest considerable effort and resources into a venture that proves pretty much for naught.
> 
> Rather than setting up yet another technology-based company wouldn't it be better to begin with a group of experts who understand the health needs of patients and the community at large and the public policies that would deliver on those needs? But leave out those who place markets first such as the insurers, pharmaceutical executives, for-profit corporate executives and the like.
> 
> Maybe Buffett, Bezos and Dimon should simply arrange a visit with us at Physicians for a National Health Program <http://www.pnhp.org/>. Not only are we physicians, we are also policy people who support policy for the people, not for the rent seekers <https://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/faculty/jstiglitz/sites/jstiglitz/files/Inequality%20and%20Economic%20Growth.pdf>.

Subject: Scott Schnieder has misappropriated over $70,000 in City of Ft Bragg Funds!

Mendocino Coast Media
January 26 at 5:12am
Scott Schnieder has misappropriated over $70,000 in City of Ft Bragg Funds!

Throughout all negotiations between Mendocino TV and Linda Ruffing, she
and the past ad hoc committee insisted the City of Fort Bragg has no
intention of ever running the PEG station, while behind the scenes her
assistant, Scott Schneider misappropriates the Franchise Fees. We think
the subscribers of Comcast should know why their local television
station has been absorbed into the misguided city tourism promotional
behemoth being created by the City of Fort Bragg, Visit Fort Bragg.
Watch as Scott Schneider tries to create the same business model that
got him kicked off of VMC and read how Linda Ruffing manipulates City of
Fort Bragg funds to accomplish her personal goals.

The Fort Bragg City employee, Scott Schneider redirected over $70,000 in
City finances from what should have been from the City Clerk?s budget to
finance building his own media empire. By claiming that his department
spent the funds administrating the PEG station he was able to convince
the two feeble minded city councilmen on the ad hoc committee that, even
though he met only 3 times with the contractor, Mendocino TV, and sent 5
emails, his department spent over $70000 in administrative and actual
expenses!
In the initial negotiations with Mendocino TV it was asked of Mendocino
TV if we would also perform video production for Town Hall meetings.
After in-depth investigation it was determined that the budget for
Granicus, the City?s internet broadcast technology for recording minutes
was derived from the city clerks budget and should not be spent for a
completely different technology, broadcast television.

PEG is funded by franchise fees paid by subscribers to Comcast CATV, not
taxes. It is a private club essentially. Spending taxes on it would be a
misappropriation of public funds.

Granicus is a digital recording system for City Clerks to record public
meetings, funded by public dollars. An incidental by-product of it?s
digital stream is an audio/video signal that can be inserted onto the
CATV signal but not designed or funded for distribution over CATV.

As a result we could not perform the tasks requested because that would
have entailed spending taxpayers dollars subsidizing a private
television audience. The funds available from the franchise were
sufficient to run the channel but not anything else.
While waiting for the County of Mendocino to release subsequent
disbursments, Scott came to our offices and pleaded poverty. He asked us
to take a temporary 40% decrease in our payments, promising to make it
up when the funds get disbursed.
We found out later that Scott had taken the funds that he didn?t ?have?
and slipped it into his IT department budget. This came to light when a
spreadsheet used by Scott for negotiating with the County of Mendocino
for subsequent fee payouts showed a budget for over $70,000 during a
period that Mendocino TV performed 100% of the PEG contract yet was paid
30% of the accounted for (by Scott Schneiders spreadsheet) funds.

Mendocino Coast Media is a name for the planned new public access
television station which has been turned into a government access channel.
