"We let go and see what a burden it is to hold on to things—how heavy and limiting and dark it is to hold on to body, feelings, perceptions, all these aggregates, hoping and praying that they will give us something they can never provide."

Dennis, stay strong - I’ll be thinking of you and your family.
As a small business owner since ‘03, I know the marketplace for insurance till the passage of the ACA was miserable. Few options, high cost, poor coverage. The ACA changed all of that. I as current cancer patient, without the ACA, my family would be at risk of losing our home, our biz, and future.

I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Kash was I'd say the worst nominee and probably the most tail end risk for people domestically. Completely unqualified, unhinged, and traitorous. Vile to his very core, and someone who if you inserted in any other right wing country, would probably be leading its secret police.
