San Diego Homeless Intellectuals - Solutions Page, Extra-Narrow cell phone page.This page gives solutions to current problems.LIFO, most recent at top, going back in time.Thanksgiving, Nov. 24, 2011. Part One is on my involvement, and the nonprofits. Here is my take on Progress: Instead of more taxing and spending, why not make better use of what money is already available to the government? Our non-profit organizations are huge money sewers that waste more than they benefit. If governments did not waste 95% of all tax money, they would not be broke!.The whole configuration of governments giving money to nonprofit organizations is extremely flawed, as they are extremely expensive to set up, maintain, and result in most of the money becoming wasted. Abandoning that concept results in savings on administration, legal, insurance, wages paid, contingencies (corruption kickbacks), courting the media, publicity events, printing, and transportation. Better concept:.I propose maximizing frugality in order to maximize use of public tax funds. No one in my plan may be paid any salary, just expenses which fit strict guidelines. Essentially, money is to be spent on the problem itself, as opposed to fundraising events, and a thousand other money-wasting things. .In my case, I would be permitted to accept income of kind in the form of photocopies, internet use and expenses, public transportation, food to be given away free, minimal photographic expenses, and telephone expenses. You would have no control over me, and thus no legal liability. What I want to do is assemble poverty-related information to be used on the City resources website. A lot of such info exists, and it is all inaccurate and out-of-date. I would also investigate potential sources of new funding, public and private. What the City gets is a better-updated user-friendly informational resource, for ministers, social workers, police, help nonprofits, or even users themselves to find help. My information will be organized so that most ordinary people can use it, making the use of social workers only minimal. I still get to politically skewer the city, getting politically involved, which is part of what I do. Most of my ideas you have already adopted! Part two is on MTS development and the Trolley: I have long been an advocate of a third trolley track between downtown and the border, for express non-stop service. Such a service could be 15 cars long, as it would not stop at regular trolley terminals, and the only place that closing all those doors could be a problem is at the end and beginning of the line, where trolley police could help with that. The doors do not open anywhere else! A better idea, however, is to extend the Coaster to San Ysidro, the US Border, especially on the West side of the freeways, the opposite side that the trolley stops on. There already exists a lot of freight tracks there, and the Coaster can use any freight track. Currently the Coaster connects Los Angeles and Orange County MetroLink trains from Oceanside to Old Town and Downtown San Diego, but there is no connection to Chula Vista or the Border. Having few or no stops would be critical, but I concede that a stop should occur at Palomar Trolley to connect to the Chula Vista main transit and bus terminal there, in the parking lot of Food-4-Less. Freight tracks already exist right thru that trolley terminal. The President has called for more rail service, and the run from Old Town and Downtown to the Border is the one that screams out as the most necessary. MTS should also have an S/D/M Day Pass for Senior, Disabled, and Medicare transit users, like North County Transit District has. I want to again suggest Parking Fees for trolley station parking, reasonable in price. Mostly the parking passes, issued by the trolley ticket machines, would be used to check which car has been there for two months. Because three schedules are wasted for every one that gets saved and used, I want to suggest the use of spiral snack vending machines to sell transit maps for 25 cents each, and route schedules for five cents each. This helps keep schedules from being strewn all over the floor, used to line the bottom of bird cages, and used to package small bags of cocaine. Waste in government is why government is so broke. Perhaps the snack vending machine company gets the schedules free, and charges its profit for the use of the machines. Or, maybe they get to have other machines there, as a perk. Where to locate them? Old Town and 12th and Imperial for sure. Fashion Valley? Kearny Mesa Transit Station? El Cajon? What about Oceanside and UTC? SDSU? Originally intended to serve as a place to put solutions, I am today writing an article that will fit nowhere at all. How was it that I was convicted of 5 felonies unjustly, lost a multi-million dollar company as a result, and have been poor ever since? May 11, 2011, and I had to get drunk to write this, as it is too painful since 1982. My autobiography, at www.NZ9F.com/R, has a lot of it, but some people have asked how I became pardoned. I never was, but my "criminal" history became erased when it became too embarrassing internationally. At one point, I had suffered so greatly, over 1,000 times what I list in my bio, that I applied for a pardon from the State of Wisconsin. I was denied, without investigation. A few years later, I again applied and was also denied. I decided that I would never again ask for a pardon, and asked the Dominion (Nation) of Canada to accept me as a Political Refugee. Canadian Intelligence (MI-6) investigated, only to prove that what I said about my unjust political conviction was abolutely true. My papers for refugee status in Canada included $750 in investigation fees with my application. Canada placed pressure upon the US to erase my record.And so it has sit many years. I am technically a convicted felon in Wisconsin, leading me to ask for damages of $310 million, which is extremely reasonable, and you would agree if I were to disclose all that happened, which I shall not, as it is all way too depressing. Just thinking about it all would absolutely cause my suicide. No possibility of a doubt. So, it did not happen, but really did. I could get into every detail of jury tampering, news media tampering, and way more, but will not. I learned a valuable lesson, my having believed both the news media and the legal system as truthful beforehand. My true opinions are in my bio, web address above, Chaper 3. Now you know why I have volunteered as a psychologist on Answers Yahoo Canada and not the US. GETTING BACK TO SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS:♦Have a delay in SSI payments splitting them and Social Security into two checks (electronic) each month. This helps people budget, and saves the government a half a month interest on the entire amount. You get half on the first and the other half on the sixteenth. Tie the tax breaks for the wealthy to new jobs, each paying at least twenty dollars per hour, and all of them increasing the total wages spent. If tax cuts cause additional employment, okay. You get the money in additional employees who are quality, $20 per hour, absolutely free. You do not get cash. Can you make money on these new employees? You may not cut any present employees to get these new ones.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Hiding in Plain Sight: Solution to the military problem of being visible to the enemy: How to make an aircraft invisible: Long a science fiction thing, from the Invisible Man of the movie and TV series long ago, complete invisibility has been a dream of us humans, just like dreaming of the ability to fly. Today, we fly in aircraft, spacecraft, balloons, and even an occasional circus human cannonball act. Evil Knivel could fly, and so could Superman. Harry Potter can fly. We all fly when we buy tickets on United Airlines, don't we? Klingons, the fictional race created by Gene Roddenberry, for Star Trek, had a way of making their spaceships disappear. It was called a Cloaking Device, and consumed a lot of energy. It is true that my real cloaking device consumes a huge amount of energy, so much that to cloak a ship would require a nuclear reactor. Coincidentally, many ships have exactly that, already. And, to cloak an aircraft would require a huge amount of power, too. You would need a jet engine to generate that much. And, of course, we already have lots of those. Slows you down a lot, but the enemy cannot see you. Sometimes, the perfect disguise. With my device, you can look directly at something, and not see it at all. What do you see? You see air, or water, or sky, the background. You see right through it. I tried to sell this, and 250 other ideas, to the US Military, but they were not interested. I even tried giving it away, being a patriotic American, and wishing my nation to succeed, but no dice. I considered selling it to an enemy of the United States, but then it could be used against me personally. 4 years went by, at least, since then. I put all those ideas into the trash, and there are no copies. This one is pullled from my memory. Continuation: It is all based upon the mirage principle, where light is bent by the heat of a highway to make it appear that the highway is the sky. You are actually seeing the sky itself, the rays of light being bent by the highway from the sky to your eyes. Heated light waves do not travel in exactly a straight line! To apply this to an aircraft, the skin of the plane must be hotter than the ambient surrounding air. Then, what you see when you look directly at the aircraft skin is the sky immediately adjacent to it. The rays of light are bent by the heat of the skin of the plane. To do this requires fabricating an aircraft skin that has hollow passageways in it, in order to run hot fluids inside the skin. The same applies to a ship, where you do not see the ship itself, but only the surrounding ocean. This is easy to do, and the naked eye of the enemy will not see your vehicle at all. You light up in the infrared spectrum, however, which is the drawback. To be continued, with sketches.
