📌“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

― Lyndon B. Johnson

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

Sometimes I wonder how many years people spend hating others, who do not negatively affect their lives at all.

I also wonder if they develop mental health issues that cause greater hate.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.

We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

There are 801 billionaires in the United States, with a combined wealth of $6.22 trillion. There are 346,164,298 of us and we are struggling to make ends meet.

Let that shit sink in.

They are not planning a four-year term.

They are planning an everlasting dictatorship.

Are we all clear on this?
