Urgent ADVICE FOR BERNIE SANDERS


I just sent an email to Bernie's campaign which in which I said:

"My concern is that Bernie steps it up, takes it to Biden, drops the “Joe’s my friend” BS because he’s nobody’s friend except himself. Biden's  record and the way he speaks to Americans (on the campaign trail) proves it. Call Biden what he is and win this primary.

This is why: Sanders stands alone now against the entire machine that’s been wrecking the world for profit since the industrial revolution and he won’t accomplish s**t against it unless he becomes president. Then and Only then will he be able to MAYBE turn the environment, health care and education policies on their heads to start serving the public for a change. These things are also imperative to better cope with  the Covid19 crisis we face.

Because the REST of the Dems in the face of this crisis have proposed NOTHING to benefit working, poor and, middle class, that is to say, they support NONE of Bernie’s  proposals as a candidate, nor ones to help us through this in a meaningful way. However if he was winning the primary, He’D HAVE A LOT MORE POWER RIGHT NOW to help. And later after he trounced Trump...

So Sanders MUST take it to Biden, ASAP, in a way that forces the mass media to be all abuzz about his attack on Biden like they were in 2016 with Trump. And Biden has so much baggage that the mass media quashes, blacks out, now that this constituency that his WATCH corporate controlled media DON'T KNOW!

So I FIRMLY believe that if Bernie calls Biden out HARD FOR THE UNINDICTED CRIMINAL HE IS, for his serial plagiarism, lying, war mongering, racism , and 40 years of supporting and passing laws to favor corporations and multi-billionaires etc. 

in short, if Sanders uses these very (truthful) names against Biden every chance he gets a mic in his face, then the mass media his supporters listen to would  broadcast it because it is controversial, inflammatory and they thrive on that (ratings) and unlike Biden's BS they pump out now It's THE TRUTH. Sanders just needs to play hardball, be a Pit Boss (fighter, for a change).

In short, Sanders HAS NOT employed sound tactics so far to overcome the media blackout. The thing is, it’s well known, how to do this, & (Sander's) staff has long pleaded with (Sanders) to do what I'm saying here, S(Sander's) has refused and as a result pretty much HAS Wasted HIS TIME AND OUR HOPES and LOST THIS.  

And what have you (Sanders) lost, or betreayed? Nothing short of the FATE OF MANKIND.

So I ask Mr. Sanders this: is your imaginary, onesided friendship with the snake Joe Biden worth the Fate of MANKIND? 

No IT ISN’T!!!

SO GET OFF YOUR Arse and f***ing take it to Biden dumba**"

Yet another reason why Paypal SUCKS



this is a statement of fact about another way that Paypal is  unethical & and untrustworthy.(that I left in the Paypal community forum).
 My  24 year old daughter  died unexpectedly in Minnesota 10/18/2019 where she lived. it cost a lot of money and effort  to ship her belonging from there to Orlando where I live. long story short, Paypal's arcane illogical, non-user intuitive setup for payments COST ME AN EXTRA $200 in overdraft charges. I called them on it and they stated "We didn't do anything wrong."

Long Version:
being tapped and unemployed all i had for going up there and dealing with everything was a credit card and a promise to help from her grandfather. So when I got to boxing all of her belongings and shipping them back, the most economical way would have been Fedex and re-pulling ebay labels and changing the sizes and weights, actually the only way because Shipsaver site I trying to use on a Friday can't be reached and by phone and they put a $150 limit per day on labels. Furthermore ,the Fedex site was FUBAR and I couldn't sign on and I needed to get the items shipped before the funeral, after which I had a booked, non-refundable flight back home. Fedex would have been cheaper on Ebay for this but I found I could cannot pull a Fedex label having changed my ebay shipping "from" address to where I was at. because Fedex labels are post paid through an the Ebay account on my monthly invoice & therefore ebay wouldn't allow me to pull a new fedex label from a changed "from" address. so i was stuck with the much more expensive USPS labels on ebay trying to ship her belongings to my home while also arranging a funeral and other things, which is paid by my paypal account. So First I went to Paypal and changed my backup source of funds on the entire account (I thought) to the credit card from my empty bank account to it and then proceeded to pull the $100s of dollars worth of labels  I needed. So I get home today and find $200 worth of overdraft charges on my bank account because Paypal went ahead and charged my bank account & when i call them up, they tell me it's because it goes with the individual billing agreement I signed with eBay for the payment of the labels and not what i put it to on Paypal. among the many curse words I called the jerks who said "we didn't do anything wrong" I said well I"m sure you'll keep with that line and sleep like a baby every night" but you are criminal, immoral, unethical , not to mention intellectually bankrupt  **bleep** and shouldn't be able to."  and hung up. 

So this is a proverbial "cautionary tale"  story is about how Paypal walks like a duck (bank) talks like a duck (bank) when it signs us up & keeps our money, making us think it's going to behave ethically like bank, but has completely different  unethical surprise ways of handling our accounts which leads to unnecessary, unethical, immoral impacts on it's customers. I mean imagine if your bank issued separate billing agreements with each of your billers that pulled funds from where ever the fine print in each one said and you went to change that in an emergency situation & thought you did because it seemed logical that going on the account and cahnging the source in the supposed "master settings" for the entire account would have to. in a sane fair world, that is, change the source to that which is selected fora any payment coming in? But at Paypal, it only changes it for NEW payments you've never made before and DOESN"T TELL YOU THAT, nor that "billing agreements" superceded it and will STILL BE taken out of the source at the time the billing agreement is made DESPITE what you switched it to on the main page and WHETHER OR NOT the source actually has any money in it for said payment!

 That's what Paypal did to me this weekend while I was all ready spending hundreds of dollars dealing with my ONLY daughter's sudden death in another state!. Like I said Paypal  walks like a duck talks like a duck, and then surprise, it starts making vulture noises while it sucks your bank account dry with hidden surprise unthethical, immoral indecipherable policies! I think it's high time that all the banking regulations affecting customers APPLY TO PAYPAL.! 

This is the problem: Paypal  does everything a bank does including offering a checking account, but because they are legally not a bank, they get to make up arcan untethical rules and policies to benefit themselves, make it easier for them and **bleep** their customers as they see fit & IT Needs To STOP.
 So here's to Progressives in 2020 winning the White House and Congress and bringing such unethical companies like Paypal, Ebay, Google, Amazon , health care, the Military Industrial complex and all the others to heel and make this country AND the companies  FINALLY truly begin SERVING THE PUBLIC that they are supposed to be serving if not for our thoroughly corrupt government that is supposed to serve us, but instead serves them. So I got stuck with $200 in bank charges because Paypal can legally walk like a bank , talk like a bank, pretend to be a bank but have completely different user agreements that have hidden little gems of legal fraud like this.

"War is a Racket"

"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents." -- Major General Smedley D. Butler. USMC ret.  from his book "War is a Racket"

General Butler was the most decorated Marine in U.S. history, at the time of his death in 1940 at the age of 58, including 2 Medals of Honor
