My Dad felt a responsibility to be an informed citizen and vote. One time in my youth during a political conversation I said, “I don’t care.” My Father looking shocked replied, “You don’t care?" I try to make up for that time when I disappointed him.
It's not a "health care" system, it's a "health care insurance" system. The networks manipulate medical care to be even more profitable for them. It's parasitic.

This seemed right late last night, but now I am second guessing it. Maybe qualify No. 2 and No. 3 (Make them pay their freakin' taxes!)? No easy answer... I have mixed feelings about Bill Kristol although he has stepped up his game in the Trump chaos.

I remember when Mom started to buy frozen TV dinners. I was in grade school and we thought it was a treat. We had them once a week. She had always cooked fresh food. I assume she liked the convenience.

Misogyny, lawbreaking, catering to the worst are all part of this administration's DNA. Anyone surprised at this:

My attention (maybe because of COP30 stories) was the photo and plastic bags I assume hold virus-related trash. 🫣 Where is it dumped? Landfills? Areas connected to waterways? I found myself knee-deep in a health care waste management manual for Ethiopia. #anxiety

NEW: Using his clemency power, Trump has undone prosecutions made by his own DOJ during his first term.

Experts say the actions show a broad contempt for the justice system: “He’s rejecting ... the work of people he appointed but didn’t fully control.”
