Penny,
From everything I read and the selected podcasts I've been listening to, there
are certainly a lot of people resisting, organizing, fighting back, etc. I
think perhaps they don't get much space in the mass media. I'm relieved that
you check in with us on occasion.

Hi Carl,
Yes, I'm still here in cyberspace. I have to admit, I don't always read
BlindDemocracy, but I often do -- just to make sure you and Joe and Marion are
still fighting the good fight! I am perpetually behind with e-mail, and working
full-time plus all the GDUI stuff keeps me from keeping up as much as I would
like to! It sounds like you and Kathy are doing well. I'm glad.
These times are trying for all of us, that's for sure. I think too much time
has elapsed since November 8 for me to continue to entertain the fantasy that
it's all just a nightmare! I do what I can, mostly forwarding petitions,
becoming a first-name friend of the staffers at my Congressional offices, and
wringing my hands and nashing my teeth!
Take care.

I always ground my teeth when someone introduced an older woman as,
"Here's Missus Blank, 89 years young!" It's meant as a compliment,
but to my way of thinking, it says something about avoiding getting
old. Even 70 years ago I knew several of my school friends whose
family had a grandma or grandpa living with them. We have been
going through a cultural change for many years. Automobiles, and
the availability for young people to afford them, have done a great
deal toward breaking up the extended family. The ability to hop a
plane and be home for Christmas or even for a long weekend, has made
it easier for young people to leave the nest and venture far and wide.
Senior Centers and better retirement facilities have beckoned to
many elders, believing they will be happier away from the busy noise
of a neighborhood of young families. Attitudes of older folks have
changed with the extended life expectancy and better health longer
into old age. Many of our clients in their 80's and 90's, even with
limited sight, are up and on the go. I chuckle over the fact that
many of them felt they could not continue living alone when their
sight began to fail, but once in a retirement apartment they are seldom
home.
Lots of little factors have gone into our changing attitudes
regarding old age. But some of the old thinking still clings on.
Young activity directors in retirement buildings treat the residents
as if they were all in the First Grade, playing silly games and
talking down to them. Some of these apartment buildings are very
posh. But so often we meet clients who remind me of the Bird in the Gilded
Cage.
Just sitting there waiting for the final end to come. Many clients
have children who talked them into selling their home and moving
into a retirement apartment. Especially if they are losing their sight.
"Mom is so much safer here", is a common statement. But mom is very
unhappy. She has moved from her friends and her familiar
surroundings. Her child, who told her that by living closer, they
could see so much more of one another, already has a full life and
children and work and very little time to spend with mom or dad.
Yet, the older folks we have worked with who live in a back bedroom
at the home of one of their children are usually very lonely. There
are no other seniors living close enough to become acquainted with.
The children are off to work, and their children are in school.
After work and school everybody is busy with their own activities.
So mom or dad just sit in their back room and watch TV. Alone.
It's a difficult world for us as we age. And we thought it would be
so much better when we finally reached adulthood!
What I do know is that it won't get any better as long as we are
focused on building weapons of mass murder, rather than searching
for improvements in our lives as we age.

From the point of view of families, the older person who needs care
and doesn't want to move into a facility is just being difficult.
But from the point of view of that elderly person, leaving her home
where she has a feeling of ownership and control and moving into an
institution, means the end of her life and independence. It's a
terrible problem. But all of these programs that provide an aide
for a few hours each day, are inadequate as is the quality of help
they provide. Even for people who have sufficient funds to move to
nicer assisted living facilities, the adjustment is extremely
difficult. However nice these places are, the food is institutional
food, and there are policies and rules which make clear to the
residents that they are no longer independent agents. At the same
time, their capacities are failing and they know it. Families are
fragmented. Adult children do not feel that they should be burdened
with the care of their elderly parents, even when they have room in
their homes and there are funds to employ a carer. They want their
privacy. It's a change that has taken place in our society over the
past 75 years which excludes and isolates old people.
The
fantasy sold to the public is that there are active senior
communities where they can thrive. Certainly there are, for those
who remain healthy and who have sufficient wealth. But age is
scorned in our society. Being told that one is youthful is a
compliment or, "You're as young as you feel" which is an
admonishment.

Miriam,
We're just beginning to sort out the choices(limited) available to
her mom.
She is on Section 8, and there are some decent assisted living
facilities that could provide her room. The real problem is
Dorothy.
She does not want to move. "I'm going out of here feet first" is
her usual statement when the subject is brought up. Until her
annuity is gone, we will check in with Catholic Community Services.
They do a good job of providing in-home assistance, for a decent
fee. I've forgotten how much per hour they charge, but we plan to
pay it until we transfer her to SSI later this year. At that time
she will be eligible for something like four hours a day, although
some of our clients have had their time cut to either 2 hours a day
or 4 hours three times a week.
But for certain Cathy can't drive to Silverdale three or four times
a week, do the chores and shopping, etc...and work, too.
Today both Cathy and Marlene are headed to finish up the chores.
Dorothy had banned Marlene from her apartment because she believes
Marlene steals from her. She also believes her son stole from her,
and her grand children are just waiting for her to die so they can
grab all her stuff...which she promised them, but took it all
back...and gave it again...and took it all back, etc.
If I were Marlene, I would not go back, but then that leaves Cathy
once again, doing it all. It's hard to make sense out of the
thinking of a woman who is so angry at her own children. I never
say anything to Cathy, but when Dorothy and I are alone...which I
do my best to keep to a minimum, she gripes about Cathy, too. I'm
sure that I get my fair share from some things I've heard among
other family members.
After last Friday, I told Cathy that if I live to be 91, and bitch
about everything and everyone, she has my permission to put a
pillow over my face while I'm sleeping.

My plan was to tune in yesterday, but Life got in the way.
Cathy's mother is becoming more and more confused and even has a
struggle to go from her recliner to the bathroom. We spent most
of the day behaving like Care Givers.
Still, I applaud the commitment of all of the people who made the
effort, paid the price, went miles from home, to make their
beliefs known. And so it pained me greatly when NPR spent time
this morning broadcasting excerpts of Donald Trump ranting in
front of a gathering of cheering loyal Believers in a return to
White Supremacy. He damned the Media, calling MNBC and CNN out by
name, and the Media in general, than spreading the "truth" as
dreamed up by Donald Trump. And this herd of braying faithful
believed him, despite there being concrete facts reputing
everything Donald Trump said. This amazing ability of a man
standing at the head of a powerful nation and making up stories designed
to mislead the people, is what causes my Faith to be shaken.
I see the day when the vast majority of Americans are on one side
of the room, and Donald Trump and his Cabinet are on the other,
and Donald Trump ignores the Will of the People as he spins his
Fairy Tales and leads us to our destruction.

Carl,
I think you were listening to the wrong thing. I listened to
three hours of the five hours of the climate march yesterday. It
was on the Democracy Now website, but it was also broadcast by
KPFK Berkley which, after great confusion, I managed to figure
out how to access on my VR Stream. Well, I did that last week so
that I could hear the Science march which Democracy Now also
broadcast from its website as well as KPFK. The Scienc march was
highly controlled and choreographed and I listened only to two
hours of that. I think that the speeches were given during the
first two hours of the climate march this week, and I wasn't
listening at that point. So I got to hear all kinds of people
from all over the country, talking about why they'd come to Washington
to march in a very hot march, 93 degrees.
Last week, it poured during the science march. And tomorrow,
immigrants will be demonstrating and also, staying home. But
whatever kinds of demonstrating and talking and writing done by
the people, the government, fueled by a lust for power, keeps
grinding along. In the midst of the horrors of the Trump
administration, we need to remind ourselves that it was Obama who
set the stage for increased nuclear arms development, who added
to the annual military aid our country gives to Israel, who made
it easier to deport huge numbers of immigrants without due
process, and who gave in to Republican demands to radically cut
domestic spending and to Neo Con and Neo Liberal demands to give
arms to Jihadists in Syria and to overthrow the government in
Libya. And I was reminded by several podcast discussions that it
was Obama who taught the public to differentiate between the "good" and
"bad"
immigrants. Trump just talks as if there are more bad ones than
good ones.

I listened to excerpts of Donald Trump telling a screaming crowd
of supporters how successful his first 100 days were, and how
much he has accomplished. Although I believe that the worst is
yet to come, what Trump claimed to have accomplished is mostly
hot air. After soundly trashing the Mass Media, a lashing they
richly deserve, but still, it's the same Media that sucked up his
every move and trotted his name out before the public until the
name Trump was so ingrained in folks heads that they reached out
and their hands automatically went to the Trump lever, after
damning them, Trump then told his fans the "real facts".
What seems to be happening is that we are moving away from the
artificial economy we've created, into an even more unreal world,
created in the head of Donald Trump. There is only two possible
outcomes. Either Trump will drive this out of control presidency
over a cliff and destroy the world economy, or the working class
will rise up and remove the burden of wealth from the billionaires.
But for the moment, the cheering, wild crowds of "True Trump
Believers" ring in my ears.

How can we fight climate change? All out for the April 29
Climate March!
/ 2 days ago
May 2016 Global justiceBy BILL ONASCH
On the eve of the April 29 People’s Climate Mobilization in
Washington and other cities, Bill Onasch describes what working
people and the labor movement must do in order to avoid the most
catastrophic effects of climate change.
The working class faces challenges on many fronts today. But one
crisis is overarching. On both land and sea, Northern and
Southern Hemispheres alike, our planet is getting hotter. The
scale and pace of this global warming is unprecedented in human
history. The last three years have been the hottest since
precise measurements began in the 1880s.
This heat is expanding the volume of oceans. Along with melting
sea and glacial ice in the Arctic, Antarctic, and Greenland,
this is raising sea levels. If not stopped soon it will
eventually inundate coastal areas that are home to hundreds of
millions. The New York City penthouse at Trump Tower would
remain dry—but by 2050 the tip of Manhattan, including
Southport, Battery Park, and much of the World Trade Center would be
submerged.
Familiar weather patterns are being disrupted, leading to severe
droughts in some areas and giant floods in others. In February,
11,743 local record warm daily temperatures were recorded just
in the United States. The world has been hit by ferocious
storms, like Cyclone Debbie in Australia, and massive wildfires
such as the recent one in Kansas that killed thousands of
livestock, consumed all of the hay supply, and destroyed hundreds of
farm structures.
In some regions of the world, such as eastern Africa, this
early-stage climate change has resulted in famine—and numerous
climate refugees.
Pernicious liars like the president of the United States assert
that climate change resulting from global warming is a hoax,
variously attributed to either greedy climate scientists bilking
tax-payers or the Chinese government trying to wreck our economy.
Other deniers don’t challenge the validity of thermometer and
sea level readings but insist this is a natural cycle of our
planet that will eventually get back to what we consider normal.
They see no cause for alarm or need for drastic changes. In any
case, they say there’s nothing we can do to stop Mother Nature.
But the overwhelming majority of scientists accept irrefutable
evidence that the principal cause of global warming is the
release of greenhouse gases by the ravenous energy demands of
industry, agriculture, transportation—and war.
These emissions are still growing. The damage this causes to the
fragile biosphere that has nourished human civilization is
irreversible. While its worst effects will be felt by future
generations, climate change has been advancing faster than
expected and requires urgent and far-reaching countermeasures.
How capitalism fouls things up
After steam engines fueled by wood and coal gave a big boost to
the 18th-century Industrial Revolution, the capitalist economy
became increasingly addicted to fossil fuels. Since the first
modern oil wells began pumping in Oil Creek, Pennsylvania, in
1859, the United States, Britain, and other major powers have
been exploring and conquering on land and in the sea to satisfy
the thirst of diesel, internal combustion, and jet engines, as
well as for raw material for production of petrochemical products like
plastic.
For some time now, the U.S. has had more registered cars and
trucks than licensed drivers. Big new markets have been carved
out for products like snowmobiles, all terrain vehicles, and motor
homes.
Once serene lakes are now battered by racket and wakes of
ubiquitous motorboats and jet skis. And we shouldn’t forget
those dirty, noisy two-stroke engines commonly used to mow lawns.
While plug-in electric cars are now starting to appear, nearly
99 percent of the auto industry is still cranking out
fossil-fueled cars and trucks. More than 900,000 American
workers are directly involved in making parts and assembling
these vehicles. Millions more earn a paycheck by selling,
maintaining, repairing, insuring—and ultimately scrapping them.
Hundreds of thousands of others are employed in building and
maintenance of highways and city streets. And, of course, auto
is a prime customer for the steel, rubber, and glass industries.
With zero redeeming social benefit, the fighters, bombers,
tanks, cruise missiles, and drones used in constant wars of
intervention to advance the interests of capitalist
Globalization are also a huge greenhouse polluter.
Of course, it has never been the intention of the capitalists to
wreck our biosphere. That’s collateral damage in the class war
they wage, which has made today’s American ruling class the
richest in history.
Some of them favor measures they hope will slow down global
warming so that the next generations can figure out something better.
The bosses and bankers mainly promote ineffective schemes like
carbon price, carbon tax, and carbon offsets, which have been
widely used since the Kyoto Accords were adopted in 1997—but
never implemented by Clinton or Bush II.
Obama’s much hailed “Clean Power” initiative—which Trump is now
trying to dismantle—was the first American contribution to world
efforts to adopt goals to reduce carbon emissions. It was mainly
based on inducing many power plants to convert from coal to
somewhat less carbon-polluting natural gas. This hasn’t happened
out of climate concerns by the utilities. Gas has become cheaper
than coal—mainly because of Obama’s promotion of environmentally
destructive hydraulic fracturing (fracking.)
“Clean Power” also relied on the cooperation of states to
develop carbon markets and quotas—much like Obama’s Affordable
Care Act counted on states doing the right thing. And because this
“historic”
plan was introduced through an executive order, it can be
modified and perhaps even nullified by order of the current
Denier-in-Chief.
Real solutions are available
Since burning fossil fuels is the main culprit in creating the
greenhouse effect driving climate change, a total solution is
simple and obvious—quit burning them, leave them in the ground.
We in fact don’t need them. There are clean, renewable energy
sources available free for the taking everywhere on Earth—sun, wind,
and water.
We can replace dirty, inefficient internal combustion and diesel
engines that consume fossil fuel with electric motors. We can
conserve energy and reap many other ecological benefits by
reversing urban sprawl, reclaiming the forests, wetlands, and
farm lands that once surrounded and nurtured many of our cities
before being wrecked by irresponsible “development.”
To facilitate population return to our depleted, long neglected
urban cores will require using craft workers now building
pipelines and fracking wells to be put to work rebuilding and
renovating quality affordable housing and a sustainable
infrastructure. Safe, reliable, electric-powered mass transit
would be a high priority project.
Climate change is a global crisis. No country can escape its
impact—not even the U.S., the richest country in history. A
large part of this American wealth—of which the lion’s share is
controlled by about one-tenth of one percent of our
population—is accumulated through exploitation of other nations,
leaving them “underdeveloped”
and polluted. There is not only a moral obligation but also a
vital self-interest for the world economy to finance climate
stabilization projects in the poorest countries of Africa, Asia,
and Latin America.
But we need to offer more than money—it’s also essential to lead
by example in action. Sustainable restructuring of the world’s
biggest economy can convince the whole world that there is now a
road to development far superior to our history marked by
unintended ecological destruction.
But we need a plan—pronto
When American capitalism decided to go all-in for the Second
World War, they didn’t try to induce industry to build
unprecedented numbers of ships, planes, and tanks through tax
credits or other fiscal and market measures. Instead, the
government essentially took control of the entire economy and
dictated products and production quotas. This project of Big
Government was the most successful crash mobilization of economic
resources in history.
To be sure, this is a far from perfect analogy. The end use of
that production led to 70 million deaths and the beginning of
the era of nuclear war. We want to end wars and war spending,
not make them bigger or more efficient.
Nor is it realistic to expect a capitalist government to carry
out such planned economy to combat climate change. The
capitalists were rewarded handsomely for their compliance with
the government’s World War II plan, and the U.S. victory led to
opening up vast new markets to U.S.
domination—which from their point of view made the slaughter and
destruction more than acceptable. They will not make any
sacrifices to eliminate the most important sources of profit.
The only force in society with both the potential power and
material interest to challenge destructive capitalist rule is
the working-class majority. With the same sense of wartime
urgency, our class that does nearly all the work, in alliance
with scientists and environmentalists, can take charge of a
planned rapid restructuring of a sustainable economy and run it
democratically.
Some hopeful signs from labor
The only class-based mass organizations in the USA are the trade
unions.
This movement has long been divided over climate and
environmental issues. But today a number of important national
unions are educating and mobilizing their members around climate
as well as class justice.
Those making that connection include the Amalgamated Transit
Union, American Federation of Teachers, American Postal Workers,
Communications Workers of America, National Nurses United,
Service Employees International Union, and the United
Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers.
Some of these unions are part of the labor/environmental Blue
Green Alliance. All are affiliated with the Labor Network for
Sustainability, which is doing valuable work in hammering out a
program for “Making a Living On a Living Planet.”
Most have also joined the global Trade Unions for Energy Democracy.
Among other demands, TUED favors socialization of all energy
under worker management—a goal Socialist Action heartily
supports. But to secure the needed massive restructuring plan,
we think socialization will need to also include at the very
least the financial and transportation sectors and, because of
its central importance, the auto industry as well.
Both the LNS and TUED strongly support the application of Just
Transition—a topic of an article in the February issue of this
newspaper. This long standing working-class principle holds that
when workers lose their livelihood for the better good of
society we have a collective obligation to give them income,
retraining, and relocation support until they can find suitable new
jobs.
Unlike Trump’s phony promise of putting miners back to work
digging coal, we can honestly and confidently guarantee Just
Transition to the millions of workers who will be affected as we
replace climate-wrecking jobs with sustainable ones. At the same
time as we save our biosphere, we will generate full employment
with a decent standard of living for generations.
As the working class replaces the present capitalist ruling
class, we can use some of their ill-gotten wealth to also
provide generous solidarity grants to nations exploited by the
old rules, so that they too can be part of making a decent living on a
healing planet.
This, of course, won’t be done overnight. While climate change
relentlessly advances, the struggles for both climate and class
justice are in their early stages. There are no short cuts. We
need to continue to educate and motivate around the urgent need
for climate action while helping the working class recover from
class identity theft. Periodic mass demonstrations, along with
education in union halls and workplace break rooms, and
teach-ins on college campuses, remain essential
Scientists and environmentalists have done their job well in
explaining the climate crisis and offering ways to
satisfactorily resolve it. But the necessary alternatives
require taking political power away from the climate-wrecking
class. That won’t be done until the working class breaks the
two-party political monopoly that allows this tiny destructive
minority to rule. The need for a mass working-class party in the
United States—likely arising from our unions—is every bit as urgent as
the climate crisis itself.
