There are "greater good" agencies. Occ safety and health. Food and drug safety. Environmental protection. And NASA. These agencies were set up for a reason: recognition that a federal agency targeting the good of the nation would do better than commercial business hoping to enrichen shareholders.

Love to see it. Oh, not because of their politics; that wouldn't have entered in, if they weren't consistently violating safety policies. HEY, FAR RIGHT DINGUSES! IF YOU WANT MASS TRANSPORT, HIRE A FREAKIN' BUS! U-Haul enforces its policies for the safety of its customers. That's how rules work.

Had an issue with my ACA coverage (90% me dealing with COVID fog, 10% conflicting messages) and a lovely person basically held my hand on the phone and made sure we had things fixed up and I This is so much better than the "Oh, you have a diagnosis? DENIED!" era. How do people not want this?

Funny PCOS moment: a nurse gave me a blanket to put my hands under (pre D&C to remove and test uterine material), so they'd have an easier vein for the IV. Me: Um. That...is not an issue. *raises arm* See, veins go out! *lowers arm* Veins go in! Veins go out! Veins go in! (Fun party trick!)

Supernatural, a show that made jumping the shark such a feature that by season 4, they actually titled an episode "Jump the Shark": it occurs to me that they just slow-boiled the entire audience of frogs until after 8 more seasons of shark-jumping, we're like "Sure, Dean killed Hitler. Makes sense."

Funded programs like this put money into local/ regional pockets, food in schools, and build interconnections that make for a happier, physically and socially healthier community. Trump would rather funnel that funding into his own and his rich cronies' pockets, leaving those in need to struggle.
