Cheering the murder of a CEO and bitching about our crappy U.S. heathcare system appears to be way more fun than fixing the crappy system.
Who is working to fix the system? How can we the people help reach that goal without killing anybody?

Trump: I’m going to pardon the Jan 6th inmates I sent to beat our police officers and hang my VP because I refused to leave office peacefully.
Biden: Before I leave office peacefully, I’m going to pardon my only living son.

Stranger walks
A stranger walks these halls, then sits and stares at nothing in a dark room.
Belonging somewhere else, he\she\it broods and wonders where.
They scratch their scalp, the same raw spot that never heals.
