When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

www.bbc.com/news/article... Appeals to hypocrisy don't work. He pleaded guilty to both charges, so he's effectively getting off scot-free. I understand the frustration, but this is a mistake.

Yeah, no empathy here. You voted for a guy that is unashamedly (www.politico.eu/article/dona...) pro-Israel because of your dumb understanding of politics. Now have fun watching things get worse.

tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik... We should all read from this page every once in a while. It might be a trope, it might be fiction, but sometimes stories remind us of who we are. The world sucks, but we can make it better, one failure at a time.

www.bbc.com/news/article... Possibly this is my own historical ignorance, but ICC arrest warrants look like a joke to me. Political statements, more than anything else. Also, not everyone who criticises Israel is an antisemite, Benny. Some people just think you are wrong.

www.bbc.com/news/article... In principle, I agree. But I'd like to hear any opposite views. Do you think a ban is productive? At what age? With what validation process?

Anyone else remember when Dr. Oz said that it was fine for 2–3% of schoolchildren to die? Yeah, he’s in charge of Medicaid and Medicare now.

www.bbc.com/news/article... 47 democracy movement leaders sentenced to up to 10 years of jail in HK. Democracy and freedom of speech are core values of mine, but rioting and violence is wrong. What does everyone think? Particularly HK residents?
