People have been taught to fear single payer healthcare. Money equals speech and the health industry has plenty of it. They control the narrative since the rich and powerful have bought up the media companies. They also control our lawmakers with unlimited money via citizens United; putting roadblocks in place for any sort of fundamental reform.

People vote against their interests as a function of a corrupt oligarchy running the show. People are getting played and just don't know any better / have a limited world-view.

Baby was loitering.

He's not trying to go to war with Trump, I'd wager. Just trying to insulate the company from bad press when prices inevitably go up. I'm sure they are also trying to gently encourage the electorate to contact their representatives to avoid the problem altogether.

Either way Costco is going to be ok, and he probably won't be as likely to get the Luigi treatment.

2147483647 + 1 will also be a rough year for humanity (or whatever is left)

I imagine with that many people there are restaurants and services within.

She got her way. Are you unfamiliar with the concept of winning?

Lol fair enough.

Ugh, I have to hear "elections have consequences" for the next term every time he does anything shitty.

We know. He sucks, it sucks, this sucks.

If they wish to invest, it should be in a fund that is managed for them by people without insider knowledge.

They could get a vote on the record where Republicans voted against healthcare. We got this bird thing though, so that's neat.

But.. my follower count! /s

I'm hopeful and fearful that in the next four years more people will actually figure out who the real villains are. The cracks are really showing now. I just hope working people realize they are being divided and start to push back and demand basic human rights.

Every scene in this movie is a work of art. It's so rare for a movie to check as many boxes as this one does so perfectly. it has humor, a love story, action, Alan Rickman, a heist, and most of all Christmas!

Happy holidays everyone! Hoping you can all get together and have a few laughs with your loved ones.

The top part is the guy dunking on the reply to the original post.

Tbf the Democrats aren't particularly interested in addressing healthcare either.. the money has to be removed from the system for it to improve. It is currently working as designed.

Information access is important. What is and isn't available in our schools and libraries shapes society. Republicans have a vision that merges education and religion while reducing critical thought. This is a step that protects us from that.

I feel like the Democrats continue to learn nothing. People want a safe, secure, healthy, fair, and prosperous society. I don't care if they are a purple alien, if a candidate can deliver on a vision for a better world, I'll vote for them.

I try not to waste the day, and actually leave the house to do fun stuff.

I also try to completely avoid work email, slack. Generally the less I consciously think about work the better.

There are no hard and fast rules, but my approach is to pretend like I'm retired and living my best life.

(I curse a lot so "shot" got autocorrected to shit. Then I tried to fix it on my mobile. I got there eventually!)
