Capitalist versus socialist health care. The capitalist goal is to make their stock holders as much money as possible. The socialist goal is to save as many lives and provide as high a quality of life for our people with the money have. Which works best? 🧪☠️ #Sociology #Population #Think #News

The BBB had $300 M for protection of Trump homes? Absurd. I don’t want to pay; let him stay in the house we the people provide.
President Trump's marquee policy legislation is best known for slashing taxes and cutting social safety net programs. But the sweeping measure also included many little-noticed add-ons, including $300 million to help pay for protecting Mar-a-Lago and Trump’s other homes.
