I’d be very surprised and disappointed if babe was JazzyFresh
I haven't gone out looking for JazzyFresh posts for setting my schedule in life yet, but I think Thriller has a pretty good list of members who've come here to yank his chain.
I appreciate it very much when anyone remembers Ain't aka Ain'tnothing aka I think about twenty other handles, not because I'm a sleezeball moralist but because he put some spin on the old fastball mockery of this site. You could say he had an IQ above the flush line in your toilet, even when he was packing fudge.
Don't know why I put it that way. In real life, I sometimes find the unbalanced mentalities focusing a lot of bilious rhetoric on their own painful departures from their own ideals of the better life they wished they go just go back to. God doesn't give extra credit for confessing the sins of others, but I think He understands the conflicted soul, and in truth can see my point here. It's a lot easier to confess your sins in others' lives, and it is at least a start in dealing with your issues. The Dem Party has done a whole lot of this during the Trump Presidency. A lot of projection on others of their own wickedness. It's about as close as some can come to facing their own sins.
Somehow, I have formed an idea that you're a Californian with some real life associations with like-minded folks who really help one another cooperatively-like. And still very concerned about the rising CO2.
Here's an idea: Get some people together with some backhoes, chainsaws, and industrial tractor-scale lawn mowers and woodmulchers and ask the Forest Service where they want some firebreaks. Gotta be a helluva lot of CO2 unnecessarily accelerated back across the normal decay cycle in those fires. Imagine. All that stuff can be stuffed into big stainless steel tanks and heated to decomposition. You get charcoal good for filtering water of heavy metals, and you get some natural gas and gasoline and jet fuel too. Net energy gain, just not financially viable. Until to factor in what it will save in property loss and lives lost and environment degradation and quality of life and health care and firefighting costs which are several times the cost of doing this.
In Berkeley, I see some places called Urban Mining which basically process junk and return it to supply stocks of basic metals or even strategic materials. The reason these places don't earn a living is because virgin resources are still too cheap. I'm socialist enough to wanna tax the virgin producers and subsidize the recyclers.
I think raw materials producers should pay a fee for what they mine or grow, and that those fees should subsidize recycling of their products.
Cartelists have fought off this idea calling it government meddling and taxation, and RINOs and Chamber of Commerce folks get big donations from lumber companies and mining companies for deep sixing it. Then the same cartelists buy a Joe Biden, too. The end result is that a few of the leading cartelists get some real protection from the government while their upstart competition gets the dagger in the back.
As something of a real conservative, I don't want the government picking winners and losers in commerce, business, services, or industry. The government will only get honest when it has no power to sell to special interests.
And that's the only way we'll ever get anything like ideal cooperative enterprises that are primarily responsive to their unit members. We need more ways for people to get together and work things out locally, not more centralized governance.
