Good grief, why start your day reading a boring statistical and analytical report from a Representative of the United States Congress?
In case you missed it and it is of interest, fyi:
I just realized we are being fooled.
The electric vehicle car industry isn’t going to reduce global warming because the disposable plastic container industry and synthetic clothing industry plan to use more oil as the population increases and their sales plan includes feeding people with disposable plastic containers and clothing people with synthetic fabrics made from plastic fibers made from oil.
And now, abortion up to the moment of birth is

Church of the Emaculate Exorcism.
Here are the unofficial Brattleboro election results from Town Clerk Hilary Francis.
“These are the results from the ballot tallies, not including write-in votes, and not including other towns’ results.
Thanks to the amazing poll workers and the American Legion who made today possible! Considering our number of absentee voters, we had a lot of voters coming through the doors, and high voter participation for a mid-term General. The day was smooth and safe!”
So she won’t have to sleep in the street.
Did you know that U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives to Congress are elected by the plurality of the vote and not the majority?
That means that every time someone says you are wasting your vote by voting for an independent or minor party candidate, that is simply not true.
WHAT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE TYPE OF POLITICAL PROTEST POSTER?
(1) There’s the ever growing fame of photos of President Joe Biden with “FJB”.
(2) There’s “orange man bad” photos protesting former President Donald Trump.

Somalia’s Horrific Famine Due To US/NATO Overthrow of a Fine Conservative Islamic Courts Gov. and 16 Years of War

“GlobalFoundries secured $30 million in federal funding to accelerate development of chips that will allow devices to … power electric vehicles….

We pay our taxes to the I.R.S. and then the U.S. Congress (House & Senate) votes to give our tax dollars away as subsidies to corporations to make products which they will sell internationally and they will keep the profits for themselves even though we paid for their subsidies. Where is our share?

Up first on the Nov. 8, 2022 election ballot in Vermont is Slavery!
Today I made a short video on the subject of modern day slavery. Taxes are taken out of your paycheck and sent to the I.R.S., then the U.S. Congress votes to give your hard earned money to corporations as billion dollar subsidies. The corporations sell products internationally and do NOT give us a share of THEIR profits even though we paid for their subsidies.
MAN who controls debates at VermontPublic.org REFUSES TO ALLOW A WOMAN U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE, Ms. Cris Ericson, to DEBATE with ALL MEN CANDIDATES, U.S. Congressman Peter Welch and Republican Gerald Malloy. No wonder NO woman has ever been elected to the U.S. Senate from Vermont before!
