Sensible Non-Mandatory Inspection Sticker and Car Registration Idea

I once wrote a similar blog years ago and nothing happened that I can tell in my state, but some states like Florida and New Hampshire are taking the lead.

Cell phones are adding to the possible ways to identify yourself. Right now, if they are password protected, such as through a pin to gain access to your cell phone, a cell phone is capable of producing all the necessary information required for identification. For example, if you were in a car accident, you should be able to pull up Various Acceptable Identification right on your cell phone if governments, State and Federal work together to create an APP to accomplish such as task. Right now you might have extra ID that may not be necessary. Your Social Security Card, your car title, your registration, your VIN, your inspection sticker, your driver's license and your car insurance policy number all available right on your cell phone, and all these forms of identification should not necessarily go away, but they are getting to be too much, such that your cell phone plus one other form of identification such as a Real ID would be all that is necessary, while your could still opt in for additional forms of ID.

Additionally, with AI technology cars now are generally capable of performing all their own inspections, and this could be monitored rather by getting your car inspection sticker, but at oil change facilities, and at you car mechanic's business, by a computer, or if you still want to change your own oil, and have a car without a computer, it would probably be a good idea not to get rid of the inspection sticker idea entirely.

Future Cars: Hydrogenated-Silicon May Replace Gasoline

Gasoline and petroleum are explosive hydrocarbons.  By hydrocarbons I mean chemicals made of H (hydrogen) and C (carbon) as in a few of the commonly know fuels:

Yet, not all hydrocarbons are explosive – for instance, pavement (sidewalks roads etc.). Pavement is a nonflammable hydrocarbon. Typically, folks don’t think of silicon as being flammable. When someone says silicon, I think of beach sand, soda bottles, or medical equipment (silicon is used to make silicone). For this reason often times, folks think of silicon as something stable. For instance, silicon glass melts at very high temperatures, and even then, it does not explode.

However, there may be some sort of chemical way to make silicon gasoline. Thus, I am not talking about a vehicle that runs on sand. For combustion engines, I am talking about replacing hydrocarbons with hydrogenate-silicon.  That means the compounds with the C (carbon), would be replaced by Si (silicon) in the picture.

The idea is that vehicles would consume chemically altered explosive silicon compounds.  The silicon would be chemically altered through hydrogenation.

The periodic table says that silicon is the closest thing to carbons, especially because both carbon and silicon have four valence electrons.

There is so much sand out there, and that is the primary appeal of inventing a silicon combustion engine. However, this procedure would probably not be environmentally safe.  In fact, it may be worse, but that isn't a guarantee, because it may be better for the environment gas.  Perhaps, through experimentation secrets may be revealed.

Cape Cod Canal Dredging - Edit

Due to the necessity of dredging the Cape Cod Canal for the sake of large cargo boats, and other massive boats, Sandwich, MA homeowners living in the Town Neck shore area need the government to step in and tell them to move to a new locality in return for taxpayer compensation. This way should eventually be the most cost effective countermeasure, as dredging and then leaving the sand in the Town Neck area is a futile ritual. This is a situation that needs greater measures of consideration.

Why is this necessary? The sand would be back too shortly due to the strong tidal currents in the canal area. And, there is no way to bring the sand over the sand dunes without destroying them. We need to claim the land by the houses for making a place to not only bring the sand ashore, but also to get it in big dump trucks so that it can be carried away to a faraway inland dump.

The Solution:

To address the current issue, the sand should be brought ashore. Then, taken from the shore area, and transferred to a local landfill. This would require use of big machinery like dump trucks and front loaders, but it should greatly slow problematic sand deposits.

"In the next three weeks, as much as 180,000 cubic yards of sand will be pumped onto the beach. The sand will be shaped and sculpted into dunes to protect the salt marsh, boardwalk and Mill Creek. The town is paying $2.9 million, a combination of town funds and $1 million in state money, to pay for the project." http://www.capecodtimes.com/article/20160105/NEWS/160109790

The next step is that now that we have the Canal dredged, we need to put that sand in a place far enough inland so that hopefully it will put off other dredging to a much later date, as it is nearly impossible to completely fix the problem forever.

Major Changes Come from Small Contributions

All the big bucks of Wall Street and Washington aren’t scary to me, well maybe a little.  The short answer is that this doesn’t scare me because I believe in Hashem, and in Gd’s providence.

The longer answer is that money is more than just symbolic.  I do think there is some sort of “invisible hand” guiding the world of finances, as Adam Smith thought.  I don’t wish to say that without money, there is death.  That is not true at all.  However, I argue that in politics we should consider money, not just big money, but the money of the simplest poor person to the corporate giants as a symbol for both beliefs and that that money we may donate produces a representative response based on how hard we have worked to own money as our property.

This puts the rich folk and the street pauper on the same plain.  Each has certainly come across a dollar in their time.  Some have worked harder than others for their green backs than others have and thus it is such that when we give money to a campaign it is as if the campaign is soup, and money is as the campaign soup’s spice.  Thus, if we are interested in change, we should make our voice known.  Through campaign contributions, we may make our voice known proportionately to our way that we acquired our money, spicing the soup according to our flavor.  Thus, Adam Smith’s hand is also according to both justice and mercy, because not all have had the same start in life.  If all you have to give is $1 or $3, don't fret.  Have faith that parting ways with something important to your livelihood may bring great change, and make an investment in your favorite politician's campaign.

It is also true of many other ways to spice a campaign.  Don't got a quarter?  There are other ways to make our voice known are many such as through things like campaign rallies, holding signs, knocking on doors, peaceful demonstrations, and other grassroots movements.  However, this is a blog about money, and those ways to make our voice known on this blog primarily center on finances.

Personally, I haven’t given much money to campaigns – it is more important to give to charity, but I want to see my will done in government.  Already I have donated to former Secretary Hillary Clinton because she closely stands for my most important political beliefs, especially in environmentalism, and renewable energy.  However, I also like Senator Bernie Sanders.  Senator Sanders also represents many, but not all my beliefs.  Therefore, as I tried to spice Hillary’s campaign with a few bucks, I will also try to spice Sander’s campaign via a donation.

My donation won’t be a lot of money, but I don’t have a lot of money, and thus it is such that I believe that proportionately, my spice is more powerful than the spice of those on Wall Street of whom we can barely consider that they have done hardly anything to gain their wealth or riches.  Not all spices are equal!

USA politics is currently the story of David and Goliath: that of a very young man and a horrible giant.  I hope that my small campaign contributions I can barely afford will help slay the corporate Goliath.
