Ventura California’s 4th of July PUSH EM PULL EM Parade

Posted on July 4, 2016April 17, 2023 by Kevin Lynn

Ventura’s 4th of July Street Fair continued its proud 41-year-old tradition today with its PUSH EM PULL EM Parade and street fair. The fun thing about the parade is anyone can be in it. In fact, participants far outnumbered spectators.

Today as in years past, adults and children were encouraged to dress up, bring bicycles, little red wagons, or any other non motorized form of conveyance they could imagine and walk from Memorial Cemetery Park to the Ventura downtown. Once downtown, the parade dissolved into a street fair with concerts and dozens and dozens of vendors.

Having recently moved to Ventura, it was fun to watch and take a few interesting photos. Please enjoy this video with today’s highlights. Happy 4th of July!

Have you ever wondered how the U.S. companies went from playing a dominant role in the development and manufacture of semiconductors to lagging behind Asian companies like TSCM and NVIDIA? Brian Dan-Ding answers that question well as makes a few suggestions for industrial policy that can restore America's leadership role.

Brian Dan-Ding, Research Analyst at the Institute for Sound Public Policy delivers the presentation on our much anticipated report on labor practices of the semiconductor industry.

Brian's research focuses on the U.S. STEM workforce, high-skilled employment, and guest workers. He earned his bachelor’s degree in public policy and history from Rutgers University-New Brunswick in 2023. He continues to collaborate on these issues with Rutgers University Public Policy Professor and mentor Hal Salzman. This policy report is adapted on behalf of the Institute for Sound Public Policy from the honors thesis research Brian conducted while at Rutgers.

Earlier this week, a jury in Los Angeles, California reached the unanimous decision that Cognizant, an Indian, H-1B visa-dependent consulting firm, did, through its patterns and practices, discriminate against non-Indian workers. In this interview, we sit down with Daniel Kotchen, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs, to learn more about the verdict and its ramifications.

The profit pool is the people who are out of control. There is no viable online gaming industry not fueled this way. If you think addicting people and ruining their lives is plausibly a socially valuable pursuit of profit, say so. Otherwise, shut it down.

🧵Thanks for posting. Wish there were something more current, but it speaks to the fact there was no shortage then and there isn't now. The H-1B visa was predicated on the myth that there would be a skilled labor shortage in the USA.

The U.S. government is actively working to undermine the American people

We’ve empowered Washington to the point that it’s become dangerous and destructive

It’s too big, too expensive, and too powerful

We must return to constitutional government
