I like to understand things.
Consider those, plus where I live, and you will begin to understand why I’m walkin’ these halls.

If we had done a better job funding education, as we all knew it badly needed for too long, maybe we wouldn’t have cultivated a population of voters that would elect someone who reads at a 2nd grade level and who would defund education as one of their early moves.

Maybe we should’ve named it “The United States of Americans.”
Since people have a SuperBowl stance on everything, maybe it can be a reminder that supporting a ‘team’ means supporting each member toward their/the teams goals. It’s NOT prioritizing a coach, mascot, or your own favorites/interests

I love investing, but never followed closely or spent time on precious metals.
I have (own not invested in) A LOT of silver. I’m hoping someone on here has knowledge and/or opinions on what to do next.
I’m sure “polish it” is, unfortunately one of the things. Hold or sell? If sell… how?

We see laws being broken or not enforced and the systems that protect us being undermined, ignored and changed. It can feel like we’re powerless. The other side wouldn’t keep up the push if that was true. It’s like this because we could still make it crumble, not because it’s too strong to resist.

Reality may or may not be an illusion, but I’m not sure we’ll ever know. No one’s ever seen it. There’s the thing that’s subjectively different that we’ve collectively nicknamed reality, but that’s definitely an illusion. We only see the parts if it that we can- A. Perceive and that we B. Focus on.

Trumps incessant squawking makes me wonder if it really is the ol’ “Repeat it ‘til they believe it” brainwashing technique, or if he ACTUALLY hates Hillary Clinton so badly is because he’s jealous… When they were searching Mar-a-Lago, are we absolutely POSITIVE there wasn’t a Monica Lewinsky wig?

“I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” he said.
