LOL. A poll comes out that the percentage of Americans who identify as religious has hit the lowest number ever and CNN is wondering. "What's wrong?" And I'm thinking "Fantastic. People are outgrowing their superstitions." I understand church as a community or a support group, but the dogma?

From WSJ essay about post-disaster mistakes.So many fatalities from the Titanic were caused by too few lifeboats. Some lifeboats had been removed because they blocked the view from 1st class cabins.
One yr later, a ship with enough, but heavy, lifeboats capsized in Chicago harbor killing hundreds.

I highly recommend the book "1929" by Andrew Ross Sorkin. Even if you've read about the crash before, this book brings it to life. It's not dry. It reports the bankers involved. An interesting tidbit was that Winston Churchill was in town, as a guest of some Wall Streeters, at the time of the crash.

I'm still talking to you because of the cute dog in your profile.
It's about leverage. There are tough decisions to make when you're dealing with irrational and cruel people like the GOP. The shutdown was the leverage. The subsidies were removed in the legislation.
...your still having health issues. Interesting.

I'm not wrong. It's about severity and recovery. The subsidies are gone. The GOP will not give them back. That's over.
...hungry.

If you think we were stronger when people went hungry, and are weaker now that we have a full year of funds and supplies, you're wrong. We can now keep the government shutdown from Feb 1 to November 4.

What have we lost that we cannot replace or adapt or O er

Losing healthcare is permanent and may be deadly. Losing SNAP benefits is temporary and probably wouldn't have resulted in deaths. It was a game of chicken and the Dems choked
How would maintaining the shutdown have resulted in republicans restoring subsidies, but pausing it to secure funding for SNAP to September 30, a bad thing?

The only material change is SNAP funding, which obviously is not a reason subsidies are expiring

Can you actually articulate any actions

Let's remove the Hateful Eight Dem senators, who caved on the shutdown (and allowed millions to lose their health care), from their committee assignments. How about that? Yank Durbin off judiciary etc. You're traitors. You don't deserve the honors.

With this fresh news about Trump, I sometimes wonder how his son Barron feels about him. Does he think Trump is cool because of the crypto, and fame and power? Or does he know he's disgusting?
