Do not confuse Veteran’s Day with Memorial Day, and remember “Veterans Day” is suppose to apply to those who served during “The Great War.”

America has the highest health care costs of any developed nation. And the poorest life expectancy, by far. We are victims of the deadly for-profit healthcare and insurance industries who don't care if you suffer and die prematurely, as long as they make obscene profits.

Privatization of vital public services is touted as the key to more efficient, better service. But it's just a scheme for greedy middlemen to skim a fat profit margin from an already-underbudgeted necessity. Result: Costs soar as quality of service plummets & capacity vanishes.

Wall Street wants to "privatize" Social Security so they can gamble with our money as they suck a fat profit margin in fees and commissions from your retirement savings. And we’ll end up with less money when we retire.

This is astonishingly evil. Donald Trump wants to end the American dream of home ownership. With a 50 year mortgage, most home buyers will never pay off their homes, will remain in debt to the banks and be forced to work for the rest of their lives.

Republicans have been promising a new, better healthcare plan for over a decade. They had nothing. They still have nothing. They just want to give more tax breaks to the very wealthy. They don't care at all about Americans or American healthcare.

A new study mathematically proves the universe cannot be a simulation, as certain facets of reality are non-algorithmic and cannot be described by algorithms.

Many people will be relieved to hear this…

Scientists Proved We’re Definitely Not in a Simulation — Popular Mechanics
A new study suggests that, at least mathematically speaking, the idea doesn’t hold up, as some facets of reality can’t be explain purely algorithmically.
