🕯🌳Good morning Oliver sounds interesting.
How about some dairy jobs. How about we develop our own creamery in Humboldt, instead of shipping it all over the place?
~for sure. Man, do i miss Humboldt buttermilk.
Fact is, if you want “economic prosperity” in Humboldt, someone will probably need to do something besides:
1) Work for the State
2) Work for the County
3) Grow weed
4) Deal drugs
There are lots of ways to make a living! Try one…
Humboldt County needs development, rehabilitation, healthcare, infrastructure, and education. Business investment is always good, as long as it is not at the cost of the environment.
Humboldt County is evolving from the “pot economy” into whatever will be next. I suggest Senior Care, Port Development, vocational training and development of Social Services and Mental Health Services.
Marijuana will not save you! Ending the influence of the highly toxic drug culture will consume a huge proportion of your resources for decades to come.
Invest in housing, commercial property, healthcare and senior services. Stop hiring consultants and stop turning over your institutions to outside corporations.
Build the future. Apathy will not work, long run.
Good luck Humboldt!
“whatever will be next” = “ghost country”
The economy of the world is resource driven in a Land of many uses can be turned into a place only for vacationing I can sell you a old dream that people used to try to live by some people called it back to the land people sharing food and wisdom it is not hard once you are established and when we get deeper into the recession and we realize that our environment is severely compromised it will be the main doorway into the future for many of the people some technologies can actually help us get out of the mess that we’ve created but for the most part we got to start taking care of the garden not making more of a mess a shovel is a really good tool but you gotta get behind it
We are Stardust
My kingdom for a punctuation mark
There are so many ways to make money in small enterprises. The internet is full of small one or two person machines for all kinds of recycling, glass, plastic, paper, etc. For example, paper. Without chemicals, you can make good toilet paper, very simple. So, someone follow the directions from a utube video, and make tp. collect paper from different sites and mush it up and reuse it. no paper in land fills or burned, just flushed away! All the excess tp rolls can be sold on black market, no taxes for the govt. We could make our own clothes here, design and make shirts, pants, coats. Or make copies of what is popular. And, no taxes to govt. Violating copy right laws? Too bad, corporate clothing makers from over seas pollute at the rate of 7000 gallons an hour, make them here, no pollution, save the planet. From what I don’t know.
Cool sounding acronyms; EPIC, GO-Biz. Really neat. Unfortunately, nothing, and I repeat nothing proposed in Humboldt County will get majority acceptance or approval. Anything and everything gets rejected in this county. It’s sad really. There should be something the people can agree on that would better the population economically.
Great let’s invite more outsiders into the community.
Government has already nearly destroyed what weve created here.
Entitlement whores love government investment.
Keep humbold small.
Restrict growth.
Send the yuppies packing back to the bay area.
What growth!? There is no growth! (Please name 1thing within the last 20 years; that’s right, you can’t)
That includes housing….not in my backyard
Jobs……not in my back yard
Innovation and economic planning……not in my backyard.
People who have no skills or vision (or jobs) have the loudest misinformed opinions and want to STOP or Shit on everything/anything that could help Humboldt.
Growth? “The County” sock puppet list grows;
Human Resource Analyst, Human Resource Project Manager, Geographic Info. System Analyst, Environmental Health Specialist, Environmental Health Specialist II, Sr. Environmental Health Specialist, Supervising Environmental Health Specialist, Dept. of Information Systems Supervisor, Information System Analyst, Sr. Information System Analyst, Staff Services Manager ($203,715), Staff Services Analyst, Staff Analysis III, Program Coordinator, Program Manager (6), Program Manager II (10), Department Programmer Analyst, Administration Analyst, Administration Asst/Dep.

County Payroll/Personnel Supe., Employment Training Program Coordinator, Eligibility Supervisor, Investigator Code Enforcement . . . and on and on and on.
Actually, I hope the Cannabis can be apart of the Humboldt economy. I know this might anger some folks, and this may be a double edged sword.. but what about trying to attract some Tech industries..It seems to me that Sanfransico Silicon is a mad house, and some of those industries will have no choice but to expand.. why not into Humboldt. A lot of them pay well, People in my family make a very decent Salary in Tech work. Maybe some supporting Computer tech education. Build an educated base here..I mean some of my family, make good wages, travel a lot, and work at home..
We don’t have even basic infrastructure for things like water and electricity county wide let alone high speed consistent internet connection.
Have you been to silicon valley lately?
I, and I hope most of us dont want that kind of intrusion into our rural way of life.
Fuck all of your tech!
Tech and the Petro chemical industry are two faces of the same evil. Those two industries are destroying what’s left of the earth at an alarming rate.
Silicon chip manufacturers have created Superfund sites all over the bay area.
Tech promotes the use of plastic.
Tech and the morons promoting it are duplicit in the destruction of our planet.
Just to make your pathetic lives more convenient!
Fucking scumbags
Sheesh, you have got to learn to speak your mind!
~for now. Read into the public record this morning by your’s truly;
[The illusion of a lawful public meeting in Eureka, California. County of Humboldt
June 25, 2019, 9:00 am]
Good morning criminal parasites,
After ten plus years of three-minute sound bites in here in the Public forum, litigation of mj and Measure Z’s taxation without representation, I say that with complete conviction. The County that takes a year to produce the annual financial records of 2017-2018 A YEAR LATER, can’t be trusted. The County that aids and abets the foreign enemy of BAR BARs can’t be trusted. The County that ignores the Supreme Law of the Land are traitors and can’t be trusted.
[to change subjects]
The following is an excerpt from world renowned Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt:
“There are three things that have been isolated that are at the core of chronic illness, and at the core of the mass extinction of many species, even the insects. Those three most toxic things are aluminum, Glyphosate, and electromagnetic radiation.
These things must be eliminated, or even reduced, if the planet is going to be able to recover. There is a powerful synergistic relationship between aluminum and Glyphosate; they share six compounds, and that makes them a super toxin. If you have aluminum in your lungs, and all of us have some, if there is Glyphosate circulating through the bloodstream, the Glyphosate combines chemically with the aluminum. The Glyphosate works as a carrier to take the aluminum across the blood/brain barrier and deep into the central nervous system where it creates neurological disease. Regarding the world population in the western countries, it is expected that half of us will die either with or of Alzheimer disease. This percentage is actually part of an exponential curve that is constantly increasing; in 5 years it will be 2/3 and by the year 2028 it will be all of us. These curve stats are similar to those of autism, which double every 5 years. People in the United States have become concerned about that and are feeling that there is a need for the public to be told about this. Because of this concern, the ‘medical system’ has developed other names for autism so that the public will be kept in the dark regarding the soaring rates. About 20 new neurological diseases have been invented to hide the truth about the soaring rates of autism. So, suddenly it appears that the new cases of autism is decreasing. Stephanie Seneff, from MIT has calculated that by between 2028 and 2032, all boys born will be on the autistic spectrum. That basically means the end of civilization as we know it.”
“Without aluminum in the equation there would be no Alzheimer or autism in a lifetime”.
“By 2026 there will be no wildlife left on earth.”
“Academia and so many Americans have the propensity to cover up the truth to protect their paychecks and pensions without realizing that those dollars will mean nothing in short order when the planet is dead”!
“Society now is like a freight train heading for a broken bridge.”
Nothing you do is Constitutional, of the land jurisdiction. Nothing. << as i'm remembering this.
Any hot food wrapped in aluminum foil is very poisonous there’s a releasing agent on the aluminum foil that when put on hot food releases on to the food with aluminum particles and then there is the study of the aerosols that they are putting into the air some people say it’s a conspiracy theory the plot thickens That will be a hell of a way to celebrate economic prosperity thank U Central SoHum yes it almost seems impossible
