CEASE AND DESIST

CEASE AND DESIST

I am an 85-year-old grandmother with two grandsons.  We all shop for our groceries and other items at our local Safeway stores.  We love Safeway for its convenient locations in most San Francisco neighborhoods.  They are a cornucopia from pharmacy, deli, dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables. toiletries, florist and even clothing.

Flawed Promotion -Safeway has one flaw in their ad promotion.  They urge some customers, mostly the elderly and disabled to play their silly monopoly game.  It is an insult to the elders and disabled that are targeted.  Like who else has the time and patience?  Of course, they are off the mark as the elderly and disabled have better things to do with their time.  These people do charity work, do shopping (Safeway) have family duties, etc.

Known Activist -I am known for my activism and am willing to have customers outside Safeway stores sign a petition. The petition would urge customers to have Safeway eliminate these useless monopoly games.   I have large signs at the ready and plenty of liberal-minded elders to take part.

ARE YOU INFESTED WITH ANTS/COCKROACHES?

DOES CAULKING HELP?

Those creepy, crawling creatures are in every crevice.  They especially like your
tiled kitchen sink.  Heavy rains that cause flooding encourages ants to find higher
ground.  Like all earth’s creatures they require food and water.  Follow the
crumbs and you will find ants and/or cockroaches.  See my upcoming article on
‘How I Acquired a Taste for Chicken and Calf Livers from roach infestation’. 
Roaches can produce a pungent, musty odor that gets worse the longer the
infestation.  The smell can come from large numbers of roaches.  Just one
German roach can produce this smell.  Roach odors linger in the air and can
even affect the taste of food.

ROACHES FOR MEDICINE!

It turns out that cockroaches have been on earth for billions of years.  And that in
China cockroaches are used for medicinal purposes.  Some roaches are ground-
up to make tea.  Some are literally milked (breast fed).  China has the distinction
of producing six billion roaches per year.   This is an investment windfall as it is
claimed that the dollar amount of China’s stored roaches exceeds all brokerage
stocks held worldwide.

ROACH MILK

An international team of scientist researchers sequenced a protein crystal
located in the midgut of cockroaches.  They claim roach milk is four times more
nutritious and could be the key to feeding our growing population in the future.

Smelling roaches. Finally, roaches can produce a pungent, musty odor that
gets worse the longer the infestation goes on. This oily smell can come from
large numbers of roaches, but just one German roach can produce this smell on
its own.

In China cockroaches are corralled by the millions and crushed to feed livestock.

The South China Morning Post publication turns a spotlight on the ‘disgusting’
insect with apparently remarkable medicinal qualities.  They are housed in the
world’s largest breeding facility where bugs outnumber the planet’s human
population.  “It is warm, humid and dark all year round, with freedom to roam to find
food and reproduce. Fully sealed like a prison, it has strict limitations on
access to visitors. From birth to death, inhabitants never see the sun.
They are my children says a woman who keeps 100,000 cockroaches
in her home.”

The world’s largest cockroach farm is breeding 6 billion adult
cockroaches a year and using artificial intelligence to manage a colony
larger than the world’s human population – all for medicinal use.
A healing potion: consumed by million patients in China.  This is
characterized as part of the roach production process published in
the South China Morning Post.

FERTILIZER!

The hated roaches are essential to our planet for converting nitrogen into
fertilizer.

DENISE'S LATEST FACTOIDS OR MICROWAVES ARE FOR COOKING NOT HEATING.

July 20, 2018

‘Inducement to buy things and other Marketing Ploys.’  Some new factoids from ’I have a ‘Smart Panasonic Microwave Oven’ series.  Or ‘Microwaves are for Cooking not Heating.’

The latest factoid:  Meals on Wheels delivers about 50,000,000 meals nationwide.  But I could stand  corrected on that figure.

FUNDING :  Meals on Wheels is partially funded by Community Development Block Grans . According to SNOPES this funding is threatened by the Trump Administration.

See:  https://everydayseniorliving.com/8-things-you-should-know-about-senior-meal-delivery-services/?og1=2406aae0-fa27-4fb1-b49f-5ea71c4550c8&cid=cid6191&gclid=

The Factoid:  No means testing (no limits on how much (money you can have or earn).  No age limit barrier to receiving daily meals.  Thanks to the largess of the US Government.

It is possible that to the larger reception to getting meals is that recipients don’t have to pay for the meals as in the past or work off by volunteering.  But this may be short lived as the present administration is cutting back funding for this program and is expected to require or suggest Volunteering services to the community.’

Something like undocumented immigrants join the military.  While there die and become an automatic US citizen or go to college if you can afford it.  With no job prospects like the rest of eager US teens.

This could be a satire as I am not sure of any of my facts but the challenge is for you, the reader to correct my errors.

Have fun!!!

OBAMA WATCH

The latest betrayal, Obama pushes through three Job-Killing trade deals against his own party’s wishes. Two thirds of the Democratic House voted against trade pacts with Korea, Columbia and Panama. The deals went through mostly by the votes of the Republicans. It is estimated that these deals will cause the loss 159,000 jobs in the first seven years. The three pacts explicitly ban Buy America procurement policies. These pacts will also increase the trade deficit.

WHAT NAFTA HAS WROUGHT

According to the Economic Policy Institute between 1993 and 2004, the US trade deficit with Mexico ballooned by $107 billion, which cost 1,015,290 US jobs, 123,000 in California. But although those jobs went south, Mexico lost far more jobs because of the treaty than those relocated from the US.

Slash and cap NO ON C&D

SF BAY VIEW National Black Newspaper

November 4, 2011

Dear Editor:

Vote No on both measures C and D, pension reform, and consider a more sustainable revenue source.

Look at the $1.4 billion city management salaries. Two stand out: One is the $516,000 a year salary for the deputy police chief. The other salary is $425,558, given to the second deputy police chief (‘09 figures).

There was a time when we had volunteer firefighters. There was a time when working for government was an unpaid or low paid privilege, thought of as a community service. There was a time when candidates for the Board of Supervisor competed for a salary of $28,000 a year. So how did we get to point of paying one deputy police chief more money than the president of the United States and even the mayor of San Francisco?

To save money, the city needs to cap salaries and pensions. One hundred thousand dollars is a nice round number for any city manager. Pensions should be a small percentage of the $100,000.

Let’s get back to working for the city as a civic duty, not a cash cow. And quit blaming the ordinary city worker for the financial woes they did not cause.

WHAT TO DO WITH DEMOCRAT PARTY

The PROGRESSIVE POPULIST
June 15, 2011

GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT

Being in the Democratic Party is like being in an abusive relationship — one that is hard to break off. While Obama falls in the right-wing spectrum, we keep on making excuses for him and rally for his 2012 presidential bid. Note his giving away trillions to the super rich, escalating the war on Afghanistan and its neighbor Pakistan, calling for more nuclear power plants, more oil drilling in sensitive areas, possible backing of gutting Medicare and Social Security, etc. Either we fight like hell to get him on the right track or we wise up and build a viable third party, something on the order of a Labor Party. Or we vote Republican to rally the left-wingers to fight against a recognizable enemy.
