"...It’s always wise to ask a local pharmacist for recommendations, or dial the 24-hour BC Nurseline at 604-215-4700 (within greater Vancouver) or 1-866-215-4700 (elsewhere within BC)."

BC is British Columbia.

From a 2009 webpage.

Just another advantage of really nationalized HC..... that for-profit refuses to give the public at large.

BTW. N. Zealand had such a phoneline but with a doctor, some years back. Globalization may have ended that. No recent info.

Since '65.
Polls don't ask about racism

We don't chat about it much

We need to or keep losing forever

White Backlash aka Nixon Southern Strategy has put GOP in power..then GOP robs the middle class at will.

Solutions------

1. Fear of job competition from blacks---

Jobs For All

2. Fear of blockbusting's drop in house values in his area---

Fed Government guarantee of ALL house values. This would solve MANY problems to put it mildly!

Amazing

Fm Pete Early's book "Crazy....."

We need to reexpand state asylums and be sure they are not inhumane... As some say they were when they were fullsized.

And reexpand community treatment clinics.

Memorize the stat in the title here. Tks. Do this for my epal in Idaho, who I thank for that stat, and who is dealing with M-Illness.

End poverty, to end 95% of street crime
Avoid the above mess
And avoid having victims

Progressive Rome had 1 murder/month years back when I checked...

My city here same size, 30/ month.

Wow.

Or wind

Windmills don't leak carcinogens after some big human error

"All uranium back in the ground"

Is a superb motto.

Even burger flipping can be done with an internet-using guy in India using, here, robotic arms like those that weld cars. A surgeon overseas did a surgery here using robotic arms. EVERY job here can run to india this way.

The only jobs that will stay HERE... The only GOOD jobs.... are WPA and Co-op jobs. The Private Sector is moving to India.
---------------------
Permanent WPA = ZERO unemployment forever

Michael Moore, Robert Reich just called for a new WPA

Site for JOBS FOR ALL info at link below....
site's Advisory Board -----------

Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor

2 Nobel Laureates - see below

John Kenneth Galbraith, (deceased) Harvard

Pete Seeger, Folk-singer

Cornel West, Princeton Univ.

J Nadler, US Congress, House 

Weakland, Archbishop of Milwauke
----------------------------
--- late advisers

Nobel Prize - Herbert Simon - Economics

Nobel Prize - William Vickrey - Economics - advocates "chock-full" employment

Rudolf Meidner, architect of Swedish full-employment welfare state
--------------------------
Member Organizations (In formation)
-Americans for Democratic Action     
-Unitarian-Universalist Service Committee 
----------------
Why would you ever accept ANY job shortage ... ever? Before the RW lied its way into power in the early '90's, Sweden had usually kept unemployment below 1%. We can also do that.

As Michael Moore foresees it --

"THE GOVERNMENT IS HIREING"

(Sounds good!)
-national JOBS FOR ALL coalition.. site--

Read some years back.

Any % stats on how it happened? Eg. 40% due to war, 30% due to starvation on barren reservations, etc.

Thank you

Gates has 50 B

At 10% total market return, he gets
Five billion income/yr.

So just 20% of the income of ONE millionaire would

end ALL homelessness forever.

---------------------
Based on "hmslss die at three times normal rate" and excluding the sizeable percent of those entering hmlsnss who were weak at entry.....and based on one million hmlss on any one night....

Then one finds that about

10 000/ month die from the effects of hmlssnss. Ten thousand.

The heat, cold, rat bites, crime, stress, disease, lack of sleep,
feces-urine-plus-flies in the area,
no safe way to store any medicine once they fall ill, no way to refrigerate meds that need it, etc.
------------

RR's cut of 2/3's of housing rent aid in the early '80's caused the beginning of the first mass hmlssnss since the Great Depression.

Blame shifters try to blame other things, but bottom line is...no matter how messed up a person is...from other things....., rent aid will give 99% of them shelter.

"The Left is based on decent, caring attitudes. The Right lacks any concern for others" (paraphrase from my memory.)

...after debt is subtracted from all assets. Of course, the lower class has no wealth.

The middle class family ends up on average OWEING $26,000. It has no wealth at all."

Heard on the radio ...NPR?..about two years ago.

Here is how some of those

Tax cuts for the rich

Get spent ---

Gold foil 2" X 2" placed atop ice cream etc.

A NYC restaurant sells a $1,000 ice cream sundae, gold on top.

It passes unchanged thru the body..harmless..one can eat it without limit and remain healthy.
