Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

I'm doing this video about disaster movies and I just keep thinking how wild the 90s were. Like everything was so good they dreamed of disaster just for something to do.
Modern viewers want disaster but only if it ends it all. Like please stop this ride. "Somebody kill me, please."

I love with the ACA has done for people with pre-existing conditions. But.
Let's face reality, ACA 2013 was a different world. Since then Insurance Companies have learned how to game the system.
For the subsidized silver/94 and /87 plans, around ~15 % of taxpayer $ stays with ins comps!
