California Gas Tax Goes UP 5.6 Cents on July 1

By Stephen Frank on Apr 12, 2019 07:30 am
When folks voted No on Prop. 6 last November, they voted YES on another gas tax increase—up another 5 cents a gallon.  Then, on 1/1/20, thanks to cap and trade, the gas tax could go up another 73 cents a gallon.  Remember, one reason the price of gas has skyrocketed recently is because Sacramento—not the […]

Socialism and Capitalism collide once again

By Stephen Frank on Apr 12, 2019 07:20 am
I will never buy a GM car — ever.  This is a company that has abused the taxpayers and the workers too often.  The management gave in to unions and caused the price of the cars to go up.  Then the management gave control over the plants to the unions—instead of the shareholders.  The company […]

San Francisco’s Slow-Motion Suicide

By Stephen Frank on Apr 12, 2019 07:17 am
I have a great idea for a new source of alternative energy—a real money maker, and would solve the problem of human poop on the streets of San Fran.  The city should give a contract to a private firm to collect all the poop on the streets of this smelly, chaotic city.  Then the company […]

Mass Exodus of Public Union Fee Payers After High Court Ruling

By Stephen Frank on Apr 12, 2019 07:15 am
Is this just the beginning of the end of unions or just a blip—getting rid of those that want to think for themselves—while those staying in the union are afraid of thinking for themselves and have no problem working for unions, not the public—strike when they are told instead of working and negotiating for themselves. […]

Will San Jose TAKE Private Housing, Turn it Into Affordable Housing — Then Claim They Solved Housing Problem?

By Stephen Frank on Apr 12, 2019 07:13 am
This is great—in the midst of a massive housing shortage for the poor and middle class, government, San Jose, is deciding to use housing for the middle class and turn it into housing for the poor.  The rich, will always have housing—they can live in mansions in downtown San Jose or in Texas. “In an […]

A PHONY TAX CUT

By Stephen Frank on Apr 12, 2019 07:10 am
To rich people in California, NY, Illinois, Massachusetts and Hawaii—plus New Jersey, the Trump tax cuts are actually tax increases.  Yet, for 90% of Americans—they do cut the bottom line tax paid.  But, in socialist States, with high tax rates, bad regulations and high costs of living, Trump is punishing the folks for allowing themselves […]

San Francisco asks companies to voluntarily pay disputed homeless tax

By Stephen Frank on Apr 12, 2019 07:07 am
This story is not a joke.  It did not come from The Onion, Saturday Night Live or Mad magazine—it comes from the crazies of San Fran—the Mayor, Lon don Breed.  She has created a tax for so-called “homeless relief”.  And to stop the businesses from going to court to stop this illegal tax—she is willing […]

Walmart to expand in-store tech, including Pickup Towers for online orders and robots

By Stephen Frank on Apr 12, 2019 07:05 am
This is why the unions will never take hold at Wal-Mart.  This form has started a major effort to cut the need for human employees—lower costs, end labor wars and to remind almost all employees that technology is taking over.  Watch as Wal-Mart adopts the no cash effort—put something in your shopping cart and your […]

SF supervisors reject 63-unit SoMa development over shadow concerns

By Stephen Frank on Apr 12, 2019 07:03 am
San Fran has a massive housing shortage.  It has been estimated the city need 35,000 new housing units.  Instead of building them, they are looking for excuses NOT to build new housing.  This excuse is NOT from Comedy Central—it is from the city government—the building might cause some shade in a public park.  No, I […]

Greenberg: Antifa Threatens San Fran GOP/Conservative Rally on May 3

By Stephen Frank on Apr 12, 2019 07:02 am
My new friend Ritchie Greenberg of San Fran made a mistake.  He invited conservatives to speak at a rally for free speech.  Now he is being called a Nazi for supporting free speech, opposing bullying and wanting the city of San Fran to be tolerant of a rainbow of views.  Instead he should have brought […]
