Murkowskicare; Next Dysfunctional Health Plan Up?

Senators Murkowski, Collins and McCain seemed to have fated the U.S.A. to have some sort of Obamacare light ahead. Senator Murkowski at least has some few thousands of people that use the Obamacare exchanges (maybe 23,000) and the expanded Medicare coverage. Yet Obamacare should be entirely scrapped (repealed) and replaced with a tripled V.A. hospital system that covers all vets and poor civilians too (maybe 40 million people) with direct, free medical services without using insurance at all.

Shouldn't all government medical care be abolished to avoid communism? Government workers should then be free to buy their own from private insurers. If government is to provide medical support to the public shouldn't it be the poor that are first covered? What if F.D.R. had designed social security to benefit people from the top-down but realistically excluded the poorest of the poor?

That can never happen id Murkowski care forces a cheap Obamacare into law leaving no one satisfied. Murkowskicare would bloat the nation’s budget and still not cover the millions of the very poor that fall through the cracks because they aren’t sedentary enough to remain on just one state bureaucratic surveillance-ministry of control screens.

Obamacare was designed to enrich corporations and provide cheap stuff for working women and homosexuals in addition to the middle class that have exhausted insurance benefits.

Deciding what those people should pay for and how they should collectively negotiate with insurance corporations should be an issue entirely separate from hat of covering the most poor and veterans with free walk-in service without documentation besides a valid state ID card and federal tax record of poverty the year or three before.

Lisa Murkowski votes Democrat on most of the controversial issues, yet support oil development too. Her interest is in satisfying cross over voters and cross dressers too, rather than any sort of concern about the fate of the national budget or the very poor of the U.S.A.

Germans Against New Russian Sanctions; Fallout from U.S. Decision

Polls show that the majority of Germans; the EU leadership in effect, are against the new U.S. sanctions forced by congress upon Russia. They were an unnecessary and belligerent step toward resurrecting the cold war.

https://www.rt.com/news/397955-majority-germans-against-russia-sanctions/

Most people want good Russia-Trump relations rather than bad. The Democrat party requires a foreign villain however, and Russia is the choice. That probably works well for Democrat party leadership in the Harvard Business School Alumni network too. They wanted to pick over the carcass of the old Soviet Union like it was a thanksgiving turkey, and there are still plenty of sandwiches remaining.

For the United States the sanctions will have the consequence of drawing Europe and Russia closer together. The tectonic plates of the two regions will slide over one another and raise a new Alps (only joking here). Russian and European economies can work together along with China to leave the US. as a rather daft 3^rd party and outsider unable to actually have an independent, non-fossil fuel based energy infrastructure and economics, gasping for breath, desirous of new Russian rockets to take them to the moon.

Seriously though, the sanctions should be ended rather than increased. The U.S.A. will be the loser as it builds new problems over-there.

Alaska D.E.C. Should Closely Monitor Nitrogen Sources for Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers

There are a number of ways that human activity increase nitrogen running off into rivers. Dead zones can develop with too much nitrogen build up and that is bad for fishing.

https://insideclimatenews.org/news/27072017/climate-change-nitrogen-runoff-algae-dead-zones-rivers-ocean-study

In the long run, not just over-fishing and direct habitat destruction from road building and mining activity bring ruin to fisheries, nitrogen as well as acidification each challenge life in rivers and possibly oceans to exist.

It is easy to imagine a great river like the Yukon accumulating over time myriad new sources of nitrogen input from farming and fertilizer, auto exhaust etc. Downstream the Bering Sea could be the immediate casualty as well as the river itself. It would be great if public land use designers could anticipate these temporal ‘externalities’ to various business and recreational activity that bring about dead zones in the long run.

Astronauts Can Excrete Their Own Cosmic Ray Shield in Space

Manure can produce heat in deep quantity. If thick enough surrounding a water tank it can heat the water even in Siberia. In space, human manure can be produced by astronaughts and used to screen out harmful cosmic rays. Gradually filling the empty space between bulkheads on a space station, with human manure, as food stores are depleted the cosmic ray shield ca be completed.

Cosmic rays may be stopped by a 15' thick barrier of water or ice. Frozen manure should work equally well

If the space-ship is a 2001-style circle with spokes and the manure fills the outer edge, it might be adapted to be a large  electricity-producing alternator with a complex of magnetic coils around a central alternator. If enough mass is built into the perimeter shield wall and the wheel is rotating quickly enough maybe some artifical gravity could be made.

Retribution for the High Priestess of the OIl god in Alaska

Murkowski Put Alaska on Wrong Side of Administration and Repubican Party

Retribution for Senator Murkowski’s now vote on the repeal of Obamacare put Alaska on the wrong side of the Republican administration the next four years. With just 23,000 enrolled in Obamacare in Alaska it is questionable if placing the interests of a tiny minority above that of the nation was really a good idea. There probably were alternative ways to provide medical services to those people.

The President has indicated a willingness to exact retribution. Maybe Alaskan-interest votes in Congress the next few years will fall flat as Republicans remember the Mankowski vote that was critical for the fail of repeal. Republicans should have expected the Senator’s vote though since she is elected by Democrats in Alaska that recognize one of their own.

President Trump’s best target for revenge is of course revenue sharing that he can delay or cancel, redistribute to build the wall with solar panels. Beyond that canceling any plans for expansion of the oil patch in Alaska on federal lands is a possible method. If President Trump really wants to hurt the Alaska Murkowski people he can channel all federal energy support to wind, solar, fuel cells and especially geothermal power development in Alaska. Working against the oil-people in Alaska is the best way to get someone besides Lisa Murkowski elected in the next cycle. In fact that’s about the only way. Alaska politicians are like Neanderthals that worship the oil god. She is a high priestess of devotees, and if they discern the oil god is unhappy with her performance she will be cancelled.

Sen. Murkowski fundamentally is a democrat with loyalty to oil and global warming. She had to vote with Democrats to get democrats to help re-elect her. Republicans are paying the price for not electing Joe Miller or the next one (who was that guy?), yet the media like her, legal dope, homosexual marriage, abortion and cold war with Russia too. She probably won't even protect the Yukon and Bering Sea from increasing nitrogen input and those dead zones for fish that follow.

Tripling the V.A. from 9 million to 30 million Americans served and expanding federal support to community clinics for the poor (the latter was in the bill) is better for the poor than Obama-Nixon care. When Nixon suggested corporate health insurance back in the day, Demos wanted a British style universal hospital plan. Republicans in the Senate are likely to remember Sen. Murkowski's vote a decade or so. Bad timing for an era with Republicans in the White House and Congress.

Do E-Cars Need Extended Range Battery Cart?

Tesla Model 3 and the Chevy Volt are fine e-cars and close to being affordable, yet they probably should be able to tow a two-wheeled e-charge battery cart to double the range of the vehicle, or even have fuel cell elements to make elecricity at remote locations.

People used to take extra gas in jerry cans with them. E Cars should be able to recharge themselves if they need to, such as if driving from Watson Lake past Destruction Bay to Beaver Creek.

For Profit Prisons- Corrupt or Not?

Fundamentally arresting the innocent or violating constitutional rights of individuals for the economic advantageof the corrupt seems to be the largest problem. Yet I disagree that privately operated prisons are inherently evil, though I am no expert.

If the Judiciary were privately run then their would be an enourmous problem that ends democracy I would think. Yet private contractors responding to government contracts should create efficiency, and the contracts need not be extended if their performance was poor.

Maybe the largest problem is that the government writes poor contracts that don't reward private prisons for performance or take away money for high recidivism rates. Rpsions that produce excelent 'graduates' should be rewarded. 

The private sector is supposed to produce better products or services through competition and the profit motive. If government officials writing contracts are stupid or corrupt they wouldn't even know what sort of results to reward or penalize.

Governments like to expand in size too. Government jobs are fundamentally the best-paying and safest bet for ordinary people to work for with good retirement and health benefits, good pay and easy hours. Building more public prisons staffed by union workers is very expensive and difficult to change or close too-probably more difficult to shut down than a private prison.

The corruption of the old south before the end of peopnage, involuntary servitude, share cropping, work gangs and reconstruction era neo-slavery in for-profit subjegation was a terible offense against democracy. Plainly history shows that different cultures merging can be brutal and slow to change. Before modern technology it was challenging even to communicate well from city to city for many people. That social isolation allowed the corrupt to flourish and corrupt organizations to prosper. Nearly all human social organizations seek to increase in size and power. People occupy roles in organizations with inertai drive seeking to be materially rewarded and secure.

Free enterprise given ome liberty to experiement with the means and methods to deliver select reform criteria may produce better results than govenrmnet thinkers that have largely failed to generate satisfactory results so far.

Many have noted that drug dealers often called low level go to jail a lot. No one has commented that illegual mind-altering drugs cause brain damage in people, and that altered brains and thought can drive people to commit crimes-even if they are not drug sales crimes. Stopping the epidemic of brain damage; opiod use cause brain damage and even marijuana is believed to damage white matter-the corpus callosum connecting the haves of the brain together.
