I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

Wherein the newspaper from the capitol of flyover country resorts to airdropping the news. As a result, they will cover outlying communities even less than they do now.

I'm tired of being a revenue stream for insurance company CEOs and their shareholders.
Let's join the 21st century. We need universal single-payer healthcare. Lower cost, better outcomes.

Who knew that Wormtongue was AI generated? Perhaps that should be the new name for Grok.

Universal single-payer healthcare now.
(AKA Medicare for everyone)

Microsoft will back out of massive data center/AI projects, the owner, Constellation will fail, and the costs will be socialized for the American people to pay. Privatize the profits, socialize the costs.
Whether AI succeeds or fails, there will be mass unemployment.

This reeks his own visceral childhood memories. He is deploying it against others.

Yep.

It is the Kobayashi Maru scenario, only with the lives of real people one the line.

Hmmm. Or Bezos's deep take is that we are Prometheus and he and his cohort are the gods punishing us for failing to revere them.

We need to ensure that we get universal single-payer healthcare, AKA Medicare for All.
Why?
Better outcomes, lower costs.
Decouple from the profit for CEOs and shareholders insurance model.
Healthcare is a human right.

Kleptocracy.

The Trump administration is a kleptocracy on a mad dash to strip our country for parts and leave only rubble.

In my observation of the UK, I see a Labour party that decided to go Tory Lite. And they are still screwed.

Lesson: Offer programs and ideas that uplift your base and stop trying to appeal to the people who will aways hate you.

Very ugly.
People need stability to plan their lives. With ACA in the "we'll vote later" stage, I can only do worst case scenario planning.
If the capitalists wanted me to spend money on anything but food, housing, and healthcare, they should reallocate their portfolios.

I suggest 47-year mortgages. Trump's gifts passed down through the generations.

I'm a constituent you threw under the bus so that you could appear both powerless and moderate as you try to run for governor of Colorado.

A true leader fights.

Colorado doesn't need your brand of mediocrity. Just sit tight in your safe senate seat until you are up for re-election in 2028.
