The disgrace of governments giving taxpayer money to private, for-profit businesses is, sadly, widespread, simply the way business is conducted in our greedy society. Poor-Excuse-For-A-Democrat John Carney brought Delaware to a new low by shielding our giveaways from public scrutiny, but the drip-dick Republican leading the Senate race in Montana has dropped it even further – he took $160 million from the state, created no jobs – and is about to get elected to the Senate. I’d call Montanans dumb as rocks, but I don’t want to insult rocks.
The folly of making health care a profit generator is obvious when you compare our system to every other industrialized nation’s. One particularly nasty way profits come before people: insurance companies denying coverage for medically necessary procedures. If politicians were forced to get the same health care as the rest of us this would change overnight.
Pundits are outraged over Trump’s hate rally at Madison Square Garden yesterday, but they fail to point out that his ugly words lead his ugly cultists to commit ugly actions. Take, for example, the harassment that election officials all over the country have been subjected to. I hope somebody is studying how Germany was de-Nazified after World War II, because even if Trump loses these people will be loose in the land.
On a happier note, have you noticed that today’s apples taste better than ever? Breeders are making great strides in manipulating apple genetics, which is why you see so many new varieties in the markets and Honeycrisp is the new paragon of apple excellence.
The floor’s yours.
