Why Should Children In Puerto Rico Go To School?

Over the last few years of the Trump Presidency, Puerto Rico has been a topic of conversation which weighs heavily on the conscience of President Trump.  Why?  On the one hand, he would like to none other than ignoring Puerto Rico from a financial standpoint.  Simply because he believes that Puerto Rico is not part of the United States of America.  Whereas on the other hand, the reality is that he needs to show support for the people of Puerto Rico -- because the United States supports Puerto Rico.  Enough said -- right?



Recently, as in January of this year, so far, a devastating earthquake hit Puerto Rico.  This devastation is on top of the hurricanes which ripped through the island a few years ago and caused permanent damage to the country.  Over the last few years, Puerto Rico has managed to rebuild some of the infrastructures while being plagued with corruption on behalf of the politicians directing the workflow (i.e., through contracts, etc.).



On a more fundamental level, how have the people (i.e., the children) of Puerto Rico suffered throughout the rebuilding process?  What has happened to the educational system of Puerto Rico?  After this last earthquake, the realization that not all children would be able to return to school was a gut punch to the country.  The money needed is not being sent due to our President stopping the efforts - or trying to do so.


In light of reality, the question is raised: Do the children of Puerto Rico need to attend school?


Especially when the United States is supposed to be offering financial assistance to the country?



The devastation has obstructed the ability of students to return to school as briefly reported by Politico Education:

PUERTO RICO EDUCATION DEPARTMENT SLOWLY OPENS SCHOOLS AFTER DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE: 177 schools that have been certified and inspected by engineers opened their doors on Tuesday and Wednesday to welcome back students after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake delayed the start of classes. On Monday, 51 more schools will also be ready, Puerto Rico Education Secretary Eligio Hernández Pérez said.

— "Engineers have inspected 561 of the island's 856 public schools, finding at least 50 too unsafe to reopen, leaving some 240,000 students out of school for now," the Associated Press reported. Engineers have been inspecting public schools since Jan. 8, according to the Puerto Rico Education Department.

— This could be the second time in less than three years that a natural disaster will prompt school closures on the island. Puerto Rico has seen a 44 percent decrease in enrollment in public and private schools since 2006, which accelerated after Hurricane Maria in 2017, according to a Centro Center for Puerto Rican Studies report. Hernández Pérez's predecessor, former Puerto Rico Education Secretary Julia Keleher, oversaw the closure of 265 schools.

— Hernández Pérez visited schools affected by the earthquakes with U.S. Education Department officials on Wednesday. In Spanish, he said on Twitter that he appreciates the support to restore the island's education system.

— House Democrats unveiled a $4.7 billion disaster relief package on Tuesday to help Puerto Rico. About $100 million would be directed to education recovery efforts.

— The bill, H.R. 5687, would allow flexibility to use the money to address unmet needs from previous and current disaster supplementals, and to shift funds to the most in-demand recovery programs and to speed up K-12 school recovery. However, it requires the Education secretary to submit a detailed spending plan.

— The White House has said it won't support the package. President Donald Trump has also complained about the cost of the recovery effort.

The United States should find monetary assistance for the infrastructure rebuilding process.  That is the type of nation that we are.  Simple as that.  Why not?

Why Can't The USDA Regulate The Pork Industry?

Photo: Food Business News

There is no doubt that President Trump is in strong favor of deregulating businesses.  That is to say, remove all obstacles of safety for the corporation in the hope that the bottom line for shareholders will be increased dramatically (increased).   More revenue for corporations translates to increasing the bottom line (i.e., direct profits) for shareholders.  Recently, a discussion of safety for workers in the pork industry was started in Congress. 



The Trump administration would love to remove all safety aspects for workers.  Speed the processing line up to run more pork through the facility.  Nevermind, that there are human beings on the line processing pork.  What could go wrong?  A worker might have to use the restroom in their pants?  Tainted meat could be missed and passed onto the consumer?  All of the above.  Reporting by Politico Agriculture shed light on the issue before Congress regarding the safety of workers in the Pork industry:

PORK SLAUGHTER RULE ON THE DOCKET TODAY: A federal district court in Minnesota will hold a hearing at 3 p.m. on the government's motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by labor advocates against a USDA rule that eliminates line-speed limits in pork slaughterhouses and shifts certain inspection tasks from federal inspectors to plant workers.

— The United Food and Commercial Workers and advocacy group Public Citizen argue the final rule should be thrown out because the agency didn't consider how the policy would affect worker safety, in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act.

— USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service has repeatedly said it doesn't have the authority or expertise to regulate worker safety issues, although the agency did seek public comment on that specific issue during the rulemaking process.

The three UFCW local unions that filed the lawsuit represent slaughterhouse workers in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri and Oklahoma, at plants that USDA expects will accelerate their processing line speeds and adopt new inspection methods under the final rule, according to the complaint.

How we got here: The government filed a motion to dismiss the case in December, arguing the union and its locals don't have standing to bring the suit because "no establishment that employs their members has adopted — or has concrete plans to adopt" the new inspection system. USDA also reiterates in its motion to dismiss that it doesn't have a statutory mandate to regulate worker safety.

The rule is also the subject of additional lawsuits, including a case recently filed by food safety advocates who argue the inspection changes will increase the risk of tainted meat reaching the marketplace. USDA's own inspectors have also warned "unsafe" pork would likely reach consumers under the new system, NBC reported last month.

Ask your Congressional leader to take action and throw out rules which throw out the safety of workers on the processing line.  Otherwise, profits trump safety -- which is both sad and very dangerous.

What Are The Unsolved Problems In Chemistry?

Chemistry is in every aspect of the universe. Why? Atoms and sub-atomic particles are the building blocks on a fundamental level. On a much larger scale, atoms combine in specific configurations to make a huge variety of molecules. From the molecules that make up the skin on our bodies to the exterior of a space shuttle, the span is vast and continually increasing. All with wildly different functions.

Technology has advanced our society beyond limits previously thought attainable. What are the problems which still plague chemistry? Below is a video from ACS Axial, which briefly introduces problems that are still beyond the reach of scientists. Some of which would seem attainable are still completely beyond our reach at the present state of technology. Enjoy!

The scientific pursuit is limitless. Meaning, there is no limit (as of yet we know of). Questions arise daily, which opens up more avenues to further problems. Technology must be available to be able either to ask such questions or even attempt to answer them. In this light, science is an open-ended adventure that many pursue daily.

On the other hand, many people outside of direct scientific investigations push science forward too by their indirect curiosity. As technology progresses, the human mind moves forward in seeking a greater understanding of itself. Outside of direct science, fields like science fiction writing/production move the needle forward in an indirect manner. The underlying momentum is the curiosity that drives us as a human race ahead.

The questions laid out in the video above are the current path forward for scientists. That is not to say that more problems are unanswered and await to be asked of society. The future is exciting, as is the present.

Ralph Nader to Speaker Nancy Pelosi: Why Not Broaden The Articles Of Impeachment?

Photo: CNN

A little over a week ago, House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi handed over the United States Senate, the articles for the impeachment trial.  The impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.  After the articles of impeachment have been sitting in the Senate waiting for a trial, critics argue that the articles of impeachment are too narrow.  Further, the articles could have been much broader to cover more topics to prosecute President Trump.  Although, other proponents have stated that the current articles are sufficient enough to impeach the President of the United States from Office.  

At the end of the blog post are other posts I have included which were written on impeachment by Ralph Nader.  He is an iconic consumer advocate who is a hawk on not just consumer issues but on the constitution in general.  Reading his newsletters on the subject has been a real eye-opener.  Without further ado, here is yet another analysis by Ralph Nader.

Ralph Nader recently released a newsletter in which the broadening of the articles of impeachment would have been appropriate were described:

Pelosi’s Choice: Enough for Trump’s Impeachment but not going All Out for Removal

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has her reasons for limiting her impeachment articles to offenses stemming from the abuses and violations related to Ukraine. Unfortunately, she declined to pursue a broader impeachment approach that recognizes multiple provable, serious violations of the Constitution. Speaker Pelosi overruled Chairs of Committees, including the Judiciary Committee, and other senior lawmakers who wanted to forward to the Senate a broader array of impeachable offenses.

Having lost four of the last five House elections to the worst Republican Party in history, Speaker Pelosi remains cautious. She is overly worried about the conservative Democrats who won congressional seats in 2018 in Republican, pro-Trump districts. Endangering their seats might, Pelosi fears, lead to the loss of the House in 2020 and, more immediately, risk not having the votes in the House to pass additional impeachable offenses.

Other knowledgeable House members think she is too reticent and guarded. They think Trump has huge downsides. It is no secret that Pelosi has called Trump “a crook, a thief, a liar,” and that “he should be in prison”— just for starters.

In addition, there is her well-known general distaste for the impeachment power, because she believes it divides the country. In 2007, Pelosi took off the table impeachment of the war criminals George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Regardless of her feelings on impeachment, Trump has been a belligerent, monarchical President with a history of constitutional violations and inciting violence. To our Republic’s founders, Trump’s dictatorial, flagrant behavior would only strengthen the necessity of impeachment and conviction.

Speaker Pelosi also believes turbulence of further impeachment proceedings in the House would spill over into the presidential primary elections, embroiling the Democratic candidates and distracting them from their chosen agendas and campaigns. The Speaker is very attentive to the polls, telling people that the Democrats went against Nixon when the polls were 60% against him – A CNN poll recently found that 51% of respondents want Trump removed from office. By contrast, in 1998 the Republicans impeached Bill Clinton with only 24% support in the polls.

Unfortunately for the country, the House sending the Senate narrow charges instead of ‘throwing the book’ at Trump assures, barring some “black swan” event, that the ditto-headed Republican Senators under “Moscow Mitch” McConnell will vote to acquit him. This is likely even if witnesses are called to make an airtight case even stronger. Trump has cleverly tethered the political future of the GOP to his re-election telling anyone straying to be ready for massive public intimidation.

Trump is lucky  that he avoided being charged both with “bribery” and across the board defiance of Congressional subpoenas of witnesses and documents by other House Committees. Donald will gloat that those two additional articles, which are Nancy’s publicly expressed beliefs, were not presented and passed because they’re all “lies, fake,” and that he didn’t do “anything wrong.” Before large crowds of Trumpsters he will say the same about other serious, continuing impeachable offenses that are stripping Congress of its major, exclusive authorities under the Constitution.   See the letter by me, constitutional law experts Bruce Fein, and Louis Fisher in the Congressional Record (December 18, 2019, page H 12197).

You can’t get more basic, lawless behavior than an imperial president who flouts the Congressional “power of the purse” by spending money not authorized by Congress and threatening and making war as if he is a King. Trump is defiantly and corruptly refusing to faithfully execute the laws, and is abusing “the public trust.” As Alexander Hamilton said, this is the very definition of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Trump is violating criminal statutes such as the Antideficiency Act, the campaign finance laws, and the anti-snooping law requiring judicial approvals.

By sending earlier a broad array of impeachable offenses to the Senate, including articles of impeachment that address Trump’s corrupt repeal of health, safety, and consumer protections of the American people, Pelosi could give the public a stake in impeachment.   A broader number of articles or counts of impeachment would also give citizens an informed sense of what Trump has done to harm people and would increase public support for impeachment. Important constituencies—women, patients, workers, minorities, environmental advocates, and protectors of defenseless children will understand why impeachment affects them directly. Despite the importance of the Ukraine extortion/bribery scandal, most people do not perceive themselves as having a personal stake there.

Speaker Pelosi missed known opportunities to throw the Republicans on the defensive in the Senate and tie them up in knots. Let Mitch McConnell’s gang try to defend, before tens of millions of television viewers, the crooked serial sexual predator, bigot/racist, chronic liar, and inciter of lawlessness. The raging, foul-mouthed, egomaniacal outlaw in the White House will only make it harder for the Republicans with his daily torrent of terrorizing tweets.

It looks like, as has been the case from his long, bankrupt-ridden business career to the Presidency, Donald Trump will again escape the rule of law.

Nancy Pelosi did just the minimum to impeach Trump in the House, but nowhere near enough for enlarging the public demand to remove him from office by the Senate. Maybe that was the limit of her expectation from the get go.

Surely, Speaker Pelosi at least wants to diminish Trump’s gloating that additional articles of impeachment were not presented to the Senate because these charges against him were “fake and lies.” There is still time for Pelosi to instruct her colleagues to immediately publicize the other ways Trump has shattered our Constitution and warn him that a second round of impeachments could be around the corner. For certain, Trump, showing no remorse or apologies, will continue to commit more constitutional outlawry to fuel a second coming of overdue Constitutional justice.

After all, he operates daily under his own self-impeachable declaration that, “I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as President.”

Coal Companies Are Dying Despite Efforts By Trump To Keep Open

President Trump has been tied to coal corporations throughout his presidential campaign and after.  Vowing to keep them open despite the changing tide from coal power plants to renewable energy. New reporting from Reuter's is cementing the reality that President Trump has not the power to keep coal power plants alive.  No surprise there to some.



As I have written in the past two years, the shift from fossil fuel investment toward renewable energy is a real happening.  The European Union has been offering loans to companies with low-interest rates to shift toward renewable energy investments.  This is a certain occurrence that has been happening and is real.



The large oil company Shell has signaled that even their investments are diverted toward renewable energy as they see the energy landscape changing too over time.  Early on in President Trump's time in office, the Paris Agreement was a hot ticket item -- with President Trump trying to pull out the U.S. of the Agreement.  Although, the rest of the world knew that only President Trump was under the impression that he could, in fact, pull out the U.S. of the Paris Agreement.  Amazing.



The take-home message here is that coal mining is a dying breed as the world shifts its energy dependence away from coal toward renewable energy. As the article suggests, based on evidence, the coal industry was the second-fastest closing industry in 2019.  With the transition of 15,100 MegaWatts of power (enough to power 15.7 million homes) transitioned, more is yet to come.  The amount of 15,100 MegaWatts is the second-largest from19,000 MegaWatts shutdown during the Obama administration.



That is the reality which President Trump ignores while going up on stage daily and announces the opposite (in the form of lies).  That is a terrible reality that each resident of the United States has to understand.  The time for change toward renewable energy is now and unstoppable.

"I did the Biggest Deal in the history of our Country yesterday - in terms of trade"

Photo: Fox Business

Just after an impeachment trial was initiated for the President of the United States in the Senate, President Trump finds himself mired in controversy over a witness interview (outside of the Senate) on national television.  Yes, Lev Parnas stated that he knew President Trump and the current scandal is not about corruption but about gathering dirt for the upcoming election in 2020.



In fact, during an interview in the White House, President Trump claims to not know anybody by that name.  Or at least, if a picture was taken, he does not know the person by name.  During the same interview, President Trump claims to have done the largest Trade Deal in the history of the United States -- with the recent passage of the USMCA Trade Agreement -- to replace NAFTA.



How does the USMCA Trade Deal look in comparison?  Reporting last week by Politico Agriculture shed a brief light on the benefits of the new (historic) Trade Deal:

Senate approval of USMCA will lock down one of Trump’s biggest achievements and hand him a political win to tout on the campaign trail this year. Replacing NAFTA was one of Trump’s signature promises in 2016.

Still, the new deal isn’t seen as a major departure from the current three-way framework, and it’s unlikely to significantly increase North American trade. USMCA would raise economic output by nearly $70 billion (or 0.35 percent) and create 176,000 jobs by its sixth year in effect, according to official estimates.

The USMCA would raise economic output by an astonishing 0.35%.  Wow!  What a disappointment.  Even Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was not thrilled with the plan.  In fact, if anything, the United States has lost provisions built into previous trade deals.  Provisions which are very important.  Therefore, a supposed victory is an actual step back in progress or lost.



This is dangerous for Americans who are watching or reading the news without realizing the actual outcome.  Trade deals take a long time to work out.  Not everyone benefits greatly from Trade Deals on face value.  Which is why our supposed lost with the previous Trade Deal was an actual benefit in disguise.

Ralph Nader to President Trump: Making America Dread Again!

Photo: Aljazeera.com

With the beginning of impeachment hearings starting in the United States Senate, President Trump must be feeling the pressure.  The trial is yet another example of the downward spiral which President Trump is leading us down.  Citizens should be worried about the leader who has the power and sits in the White House.  Where have we come from?  Below, Iconic Activist Ralph Nader writes President Trump a letter.



Ralph Nader recently wrote President Trump a letter (shown below):

Trump: Making America Dread Again!

January 14, 2019

President Donald Trump

White House

1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW

Washington, DC 20500

Dear President Trump:

The disabling and dismantling of the federal health and safety agencies under your cruel command has been leaving a trail of American fatalities, injuries, and property destruction without precedent even among past Republican Administrations. Your criminal negligence toward federal agencies like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is an impeachable offense. You are obsessed with corporate profits, obeisant to the corporate CEOs funding your campaigns. You deliberately selected corrupt henchmen to run these lifesaving agencies into the ground, under the guise of “deregulation.”

Constitutional law scholars declare that refusing to “faithfully execute laws” was seen by our Founders to be a major impeachable violation, sufficient for removal from office by the Senate. Your failure to appoint capable leaders, for required Senate confirmation, to head life-saving federal agencies is abhorrent and violates the appointments clause of the Constitution, Article II: Section 2, Clause 2.

Nonetheless, the media has not caught up with the full scope of your lawless commercial drive to “Make America Dread Again.”

Consider a recent address at Used Car Week 2019 in Las Vegas last November by Jerry Cox, a consultant to many businesses in trouble. Here is an excerpt from his remarks, elaborated in greater details in his forthcoming book, Killer Airbags:

Your government will do almost anything to protect the industry and nothing to protect you. At the start of 2020 – the final year of the first Trump Administration – NHTSA still had no Administrator. Instead, President Trump installed Takata’s lawyer [Steven Bradbury] as general counsel of the Transportation Department in 2017 and as Acting Deputy Secretary in 2019. Unbelievably, the guy who negotiated the sweetheart deals that allowed Takata executives to keep selling defective airbags and avoid criminal prosecution was put in charge of every government employee responsible for enforcing auto safety laws.

Shame and guilt on you, Donald Trump! You were willing to start an undeclared war with Iran last week, had their missile attack taken one American soldier’s life, but when American lives are threatened by crony capitalism, you do nothing. It is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s duty to save American lives on the highways from vehicle design and construction defects, yet under you the agency becomes even more toothless. You are leaving tens of millions of American motorists defenseless. Some will lose their lives if more Takata airbags disintegrate and hurl lethal shrapnel into their bodies. American drivers and passengers must receive protection by your Administration.

Will you stop your time-wasting 24/7 tweeting, and your prevaricatory assaults on the truth and reputations of innocent Americans? Will you pay attention to the Takata horrors and name a safety advocate to reinvigorate the enfeebled NHTSA?  Will you start doing your job?

Sincerely,

Ralph Nader

Some critics of President Trump say that he has done irreparable damage to our nation.  Time will tell.   Last week, he managed to reduce restrictions on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which is the law in place requiring EIS -- Environmental Impact Statements -- before construction can begin on any infrastructure project in the United States.  I wrote a blog post about the issue.  



The take-home message is that if climate change (i.e., environmental impacts) are not considered at the beginning of a given infrastructure project, each American resident's insurance premium will be raised.  Or -- alternately, the cost of not considering climate change will be passed onto the taxpayer through our government.  What seems to benefit big business could eventually end up costing the average American consumer in the tax season.  Stay tuned.
