I get it, feeling that as a compassionate person, yet also saddled with dwindling hope for myself and peers as we age …but I also still REALLY hope when he sloughs off this mortal coil, he does it painfully shitting himself. What makes me angry is the bootlickers that made this farce up!

Sadly and horrifically, that is the goal. Those jockeying for power, such as PeterThiel, have flat out called for “compassionate genocide” (his term). To them, if you’re not part of the ruling tech class then your life has little to no value and is a waste of resources.
We’re all F’ked

Ahhh—hehe all good! I just live in a very “maga” area where people are sopping this idea up like gravy without question and all the while also boot licking so damn hard.

someone who can make an extra payment a year, doesn’t need a 50 yr mortgage. A 50yr mortgage vs. a 30yr w/7% interest would only drop payments on a 400k house $280 a month. And would take WAY longer to build equity plus 50 yr more risky for banks so no doubt will have higher interest rates.

Denver too! Don’t know that we ever really ran them out unfortunately, but we made it clear we weren’t gonna tolerate their shit in the alternative scene back then.

Yes! So many of our societal “ills” and dysfunction in the US could maybe not be totally solved, but definitely made far far better with universal healthcare!

At this point, barely being able to afford health insurance in my 50’s, my health care plan should I have a cancer or other terrible illness diagnosis when I’m elderly, is to “Midsommar” off a cliff.
Bleak yes, but I won’t saddle my husband/family with crushing medical debt.

In the past few months I know 2 people that have let their cancer take its course and died (one was very much treatable) than risk saddling family with crushing medical debt from treatments. My husband and I-we can no longer afford health insurance so we’ve set up life insurance policies at least

Or living paycheck to paycheck, where cost of living is quickly outpacing wages, have zero assets, medical debt, caring for children, caring for elderly parents (or both) and try to do what you can, send letters etc, but if you miss one day of work and get fired then you just might end up homeless.

Autopsy revealed his hyoid bone was broken— sure that can happen in cases of suicide but it’s rare due to the amount of force it takes. And the ME said the amount of trauma to not just the hyoid bone but his neck injuries as a whole were consistent with homicidal strangulation.

Saw what looked like a prison bus ahead of me on east bound I-90 in central WA, as I past it saw that it was a GEO Group ICE transport vehicle. It made my stomach drop—I know it’s not nearly the same (yet?) but all I could think of were 1930’s trains disappearing people. Inhumanity in plain sight.

2. Dogs are super sensitive and feel everything around them. If the vibe shifts, they can panic, bolt, bite -usually out of fear! I say this as someone raised in a veterinary family and have been working in rescue since the ’80s: your dog will be safer and way happier at home, just waiting for you.
