Carpenter for Hire

 If your like many  Americans you income is somewhere South of $13.00 per hour. Paying rent let alone buying a home is a challenge. Having worked as a social and environmental activistthe biggest challeng I seeacross America is affordable (by your standards) housing.  $600 P/M rent is not really affordable for most people who work in food service, retail, and some of the service industries.  With your help, I want to change this.  Since I am out to earn an honest dollar, here is a link to my thumbtack listing, "Carpenter for Hire".
Concept E-3

How I propose to do this is form an LLC,  I'll need 100 member shareholders.  The share price I hope to have at $5.00 per share. 1 share makes you a member.  Then we'll take it from there.

Look Good Naked, Over 50.

So you see yourself and say, I want a better body.

Nature has a sense of humor. As humans we have unlimited potential to store fat, whether we want to or not.  As older men, we have way less Testosterone Cholstera then we did as younger "Stud Muffins."..

The good newsisit usually takesa long time and poor lifestyle choices to get really overweight.  Whats worse as an older man it takes a lot longer to lose the belly.  There ishelp to be had.  Now my disclaimer:  These post are for informational and educational purposes.  They are not meant to take the place of a licensed  physicians or "nutritionist" advice.

The top picture is were I was a few years ago, the bottom picture is where I am at today.  Let me tell you I am in my 50's and I am still awork under progress.  Initially I went to the local sports nutrition store and I bought a weight loss VPX Red line.  It does have caffeine soo if you drink coffee tooyour older then drink de-caff unlesss you havea high caffeine tolerance.  the most effective fatburner I ever  used was BPI's roxylean. Seriously read the label do not exceed maxium dosage.  I also started exercising I started jogging okay walking first then eventually jogging.  Using a treadmill at the local gym, where the trak moves under you does not much for the hamstrings. This and bicycling.  All together bodybuilding, jogging, bicycling and It was not long before 10 lbs of fat melted away.  By time I reduced using fatburners My bodyweightwent from a high of 297# to 276#.  As far as how I look today my weight is at 284#.
   Prior to this I trieda diet program called formu-fast.  Long story short since I didn't meet my aggressive weight loss go, They penalized me some $297.00  I won't ever do that again.
I'll continue this blog in another entry.

wild fires and acting Presidential

"Wild fires have been increasing in frequency and ferocity."

Mens Journal August 2014

This is a truth. As a person desiring to campaign for the US Presidency for the years 2016-2024,

This one of many things I would like to address.  My slogn "Not Politics as Usual", means even though dirt may be slung my way, I intend to shower off.  Part of me says that campaigning for US President should be a popularity race.  The only one I have to be popular with is "The Electorate".

But awiser partof me says A United States President has to havegood leadership.  Even though truthfully As US President I will have lots of people telling me what to do.  On the issue of wildfires, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."  From 1993-2013 the cost of battling wild fires has gone from $240,000,000 to $1,800,000,000.  This is huge. Being an environmental and social activist means I like to be out in the woods camping out.  I have done this a lot. As a libertarian I enjoy my freedoms. When out camping in a woodland  I usually build 'Fire pits' instead of open camp fires. The difference is that a fire pit is a hole with rocks surrounding it and oftentimes a metal grating on top. This help reduce the spread of fire in case of wind.  But if I were to build a home like the many millions of Americans have in a so called "wooey", (woodland urban interface),  "Men's Journal, August 2014."  I would definitely take steps to keep my property from being kindling. Such as having a tin roof instead of wood or tar shingle roof.  I would probably have a chain link or stone work fence as well.  These two things  are a good start.  These are just acouple of things that ought to be done to inhibit the spread of  a potential wild fire.  

The state of New Mexico has done a lot of things to reduce therisk of future wildfires, I imagine if California asked, New Mexico would gladly help them with techniques and laws  they use to minimize  or prevent wildfires.  Aswell as showing whatcanbe done to helpreseedburnt out lands.  

Look Good Naked...What happens when?

What happens if you find yourself unable to exercise.  Maybe longer hours at work.  Or worseyet You go on vacation and find yourself not wanting to exercise like you used to.  Vacation times over but really youdo not want to go back to the gym.  Committing yourself to a healthier lifestyle thatincludes eating different and exercising more is like going to church on Sunday.  Easy to not do.  Where your mind goes your body follows. In this case its all going back to work is the easier thing.  That paycheck pays for everything else.  Geting back towork aftercoming off of  yourvacation isthe first step.  Now lets pick up the good eating.  The hardest thing now is to recommit to  start exercising again.  do this in baby steps, instead of running 4 miles lets just run a fewblocks thenmaybe some more.  These little things will have you back on your fitness trak soon enough.
    I need your help here, ask some questions to give me some more material to present.

Get your engines running again.

      

Go ahead already, legalize recreational marijuana.

      What is the hold up legalizing marijuana for recreational usage.
 I was perusing the NY Times and saw that a lot of State governors think that if they legalize marijuana then this would say they are soft on crime.

HOLD IT!!  Marijuana should have never been criminalized in the first place.
This was a Richard M. Nixon's hard line stance for voter popularity.   To keep classifying marijuana possession and use as criminal is silly.

As a candidate for the US Presidency of 2016 and 2020, I fully realize that their will be prople who, are responsible with their usage of marijuana.  As well as persons who will want to see what they can get away with.  I started encouraging responsible use of marijuana a month ago on my facebook page,  Steven Childs.777.
I am sticking with my stance.  As far as mood altering substances comparing marijuana to heroin or meth is like comparing fruit flavored water (Marijuana) to whiskey(heroin,meth,crack, etc.)  These are not the same substances.  According to material I read from UT in Dallas, unlike alcohol abuse, marijuana use does not cause organ damage.  Don't get me wrong marijuana does effect your mental faculties and reflexes this is why responsible usage of marijuana means do not drive, do not go to work under the influence of THC. Rather get high when your at home not going to work and call Dominoe's or anyone else that delivers. 
     After a couple of years I believe that responsible usage of marijuana will be the norm in the USA, without government oversight.  In the mean time all of you governors hem hawwing or sitting on the fence and just looking, ferget about it.  Legalize the recreational usage of marijuana in your states, regulate marijuana like alcohol, charge high prices and high taxes for a little while. Just because recreational usage of marijuana is legal, let everyone know that if you are caught driving under the influence of 'MJ' you will get arrested and you will go to jail.  Much like the person driving drunk.

Steven Childs for US President

I want to get something out there that is on my mind.  Earlier in 2012 I remember seeing all of these people on TV crying about how America wants to punish the reich people by raising their taxes. Some of these people crying the loudest were our elected (I say this loosely) representatives.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS BRIEFLY.

In the USA today the upper 20% income earners are in control of 80% of Americas wealth.  This is like 2 people having 80 cents to share.  This is opposed to the bulk of Americas work force.

With us (Me Too), This is like 8 people fighting over 20 cents.

In all practical terms the only people with the financial wherewithal to pay down America's debts are the top 20% of American's controlling 80 cents of every dollar in the American economy.

I would support a straight across flat tax for individuals, and businesses something akin to 15% of gross income for all federal, State, and Local taxes.  Said differently if your earn $50,000 a year income, you pay $3,500 as your entire medical (health care) and tax debt. By the same token if your income is $1,000,000 per year then your total medical (health care) and tax burden should be $150,000.  

think about this briefly today in America your incorporated business earns $1.00 profit.

Post taxes you now have 50 cents to pay your employees and service your debt, grow your business etcetera. Your employees get $1.00 pre-taxable income.  They make say $1.00.

Their post tax income and benefits package leaves them say 70 cents.

with this 70 cents they pay 35 cents for housing. Now your employees have only 35 cents 

left to live on and many places have a sales tax too say about 8 cents on the dollar.  This 

means your employees really have a spendable income of only 27 cents left on every dollar they earn.  See the picture.  The economic gulf between the uber-wealthy, the wealthy, and everybody else has become a huge chasm.  I was raised in the 60's and 70's.  It took America 150 years to have a "Nuclear Family" or strong middle class.  It took 20 years to destroy the idea.

Said another way a man could raise his family on his income as the sole provider in the late 50's until the 80's.

In the 70's women chose to enter the work force to be able to let their families have a little fun.

By doing things like going out to eat and visit Disneyland.

In the 80's women had to get a job.

Today families are fractured.  I could argue that this is because Many American have to work 

more than 1 job just to get by.

Life in America was not meant to be this way.
