I get the question often “What are your solutions to fix the system?” and this is something I have researched and reflected on a great deal. So here are some of my solutions:</div>
<div class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<a href="https://www.saatchiart.com/art-collection/Banks-on-Fire/718101/368790/view" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="432" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDMPPp7hz__dNt9pSX3P_Ic-OB_ExLNLNs2M_ia7KAzF4jX6KKAVL2EFDAueqy29ifJg25N1AtAFRyhPOZIE67yvc5aSdY2RyWGmM2TSUB-j5goDvd007_O-00y-91kX3HONVCLkKi0dc/s640/wallst_riot_sm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1) The first thing States and Cities can do is charter Public Banks to cut out the parasitic Too Big To Fail middle men Banks needlessly existing between Public Bond Measures and the Money to get projects done.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> The fact that Gavin Newsom signed Public Banks into law in California and Los Angeles has one in progress is mind blowing. The existing California iBank is being retooled for wider purpose, all incredible news! People at large do not yet realize what a game changer this. @EllenHBrown on twitter is an expert on this</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>2) There needs to be a UBI type system that sends money to every taxpaying American with a stipulation: if you have debt, the money has to go toward paying down that debt until it’s gone. If you don’t have debt you have money to spend into the economy however you please. It’s a system that helps both the borrower and the lender because the lenders get their money by way of the public paying down their debt and benefitting EVERYONE. No more Wall St bailouts that just go to the top of the system because we can see there is no “trickle down”, the bailouts have to go THROUGH the Public or they are pointless and actually detrimental. @ProfSteveKeen on twitter is an expert on this</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>3) The interest rate for all private debt in the form of mortgages, student loans, credit cards, and auto loans should be pegged to the Fed Funds rate which right now is .05%. Plus a lot of this Private Debt needs to be wiped out, it’s called Debt Jubilee and I propose from now on for every dollar that goes toward “bailing out” a Too Big To Fail Bank Parasite like Wells Fargo then a percentage amount of private debt should be cleared along with it.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>ALL private debt in America is $19 Trillion; much more money than that has been handed out to banks since 2008 but it’s always Heads they win, Tails the Public gets the shaft. @realMaxKeiser and @stacyherbert on twitter speak to this</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>4) We need government leaders who will stand up to the military industrial complex. I propose to set up an Infrastructure Army that kids leaving High School can join and get all the benefits of military service without the wars: get physically fit, create social bonds, learn skills and a trade, and get sent across the country to rebuild failing aged infrastructure and erect new and needed projects entering the future.</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>5) There also needs to be a renaissance and reindustrialization of the US. The era of “American” companies moving their factories to dictatorships and poor nations to exploit cheap labor has to end because if anything as we have learned from this pandemic it’s a National Security risk, but mainly because good paying jobs are part of what used to be the American Dream, not poverty level wages that are subsidized with 29% interest easy credit cards and qualifying for food stamps. It took a lot of money to build factories and move production to the cheapest source of labor, but it only long-term benefitted a small number of people at the top of the system; that is good money spent badly. It's going to cost a lot of money to reindustrialize the US today, but domestic spending is the type of spending we need right now. </div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>What I see having happened is our leaders legislated themselves infinite money starting in 1971 and then they kept that fact to themselves while they told the public that we have to “raise the money” to spend on things the public wants. Bullshit. I’ve never heard our leaders say “We don’t have enough money, we must raise the money or we will to have to end these Wars all over the planet!” Nope. Infinite Money for Endless War. Infinite Bailouts for Endless Crime on Wall St. Using a God-Like power, Money Creation, to enslave people with private debt and at the same time using leveraged debt to “buy” the World, total insanity. The Public needs to take the Money Power back.</div>
<div class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>These points all seem to me to all be do-able solutions that would have a real benefit to the REAL ECONOMY and would be a return to balance and a feeling of fairness that would spread throughout the Nation in positive ways we can’t even imagine yet.</div>

And so the time is near, I'm excited to share I'm leaving Los Angeles for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cozad,_Nebraska" target="_blank">Cozad Nebraska</a> Sept 24th via 1998 Toyota 4-runner for two weeks teaching and proselytizing about painting in the Spirit of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Henri" target="_blank">Robert Henri</a> for the <a href="http://roberthenrimuseum.org/" target="_blank">Robert Henri Museum</a> there in the city of Cozad, founded by his father in 1873. Robert Henri was a renowned teacher of painting and I feel that is something I have a talent for as well. I'm excited!!<br />
<br />
I plan to TEACH America to PAINT! Starting from the Middle!<br />

Went for the big bold Lay-In with the intention of taking the piece back after its dries. Good Times! Also did a live stream with my Streaming Rig. Needed field testing to help figure some things out for future de-bugging and fine tuning.

I took this one out for a few hours a couple times last month, worked on or started other pieces in the meantime. This last stab at it finished it off good! :) ... oil on canvas 22 by 28<br />

I started this with Blue Blocker sunglasses and it made me paint too much yellow. I left it to dry and painted blues over most of the yellows. Much better! I wish I'd taken a picture of the piece as influenced by the dark orange sunglasses but I forgot.

Here's a work in progress Wells Fargo consumed with the fire of their own white hot criminal activity. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with complete absence of any sort of justice for the Financial Crimes that crashed the economy. And now, ten years later the statute of limitations is passed. They all got away with it. No Justice No Peace. I will never understand why the American Public gets outraged`about Welfare and Social Programs but tolerates trillion dollar handouts to Criminals on Wall Street...<br />

The painting was doomed from the start, abandoned by the artist and left a dripping mess on the wall for decades; the centerpiece of the composition was least ruined and copied numerous times. I'm working from a few of these copies, particularly the most famous by Rubens, to resolve a painting on my own. It's a different type of "master copy" for me. I'm going El Greco with it, he's one of my favorite "old masters".<br />
It's fascinating to work on, I feel like I'm learning so much more about how and why he came about the composition himself... the refining of a moment of unbridled passion. Here's a couple earlier work in progress shots of this current work in progress, oil on linen 30 x 40<br />
