Imagine if Congress had to make due on the same healthcare "benefits" the government provides to all Americans instead of their heavily subsidized healthcare.
Imagine if government shut down meant Congress had to work the same as designated critical workers do with no/delayed pay.

They’re stopping it to pocket it. To cause civil unrest. To divide the nation. To bankrupt the farmers so they can take their lands. To weed out the poor, sick and elderly. And to control the population.
And they’ll still take the healthcare and raise the prices regardless of it all.

I was wondering what expertise Harrison Ford has about these issues. It's down toward the bottom but interesting to read he was friends with E.O. Wilson and received a conservation leadership award from the foundation. 🌱
I spoke to Harrison Ford about the climate crisis and he said -
- Trump's axing of climate policies “scares the shit out of me”
- of Trump: "I don’t know of a greater criminal in history”
- that the world is "teetering on the edge" due to the loss of nature
