Our disastrous healthcare system is ranked next to that of Guatemala’s. Remember the huge fight that it took just to get the ADA passed, which took our system from catastrophically bad to merely disastrous. And still, they left a loop hole that allowed the American Taliban party to defund it.

Meant ACA… and what most people don’t realize is the amount of tax payer’s money, as subsidies, going to those very same criminal enterprise insurance companies causing most of the hardships. Now they are using AI for claims because employing humans to cause hardship of sick people is unprofitable.

Tech layoffs - here is an example of absolutely atrocious behavior. How about the US makes a new federal law that forces the CEO to be laid off first for any round of layoffs. As part of the new law, let’s make it so that they (the CEO) has to be walked out the building with armed security.

In addition to putting the USD in danger, these Greenland hostilities have sent a clear message to the Europeans that buying US arms, especially fighter jets, is not a good idea. On so many levels, these moves are so stupid that we have to wonder if they are sabotaging our country on purpose.

The US has been trying to get India to buy US agricultural products, and they refuse. B/c 71% of H1-B visas go to Indian engineers, the 100k fee is a ploy to pressure India during negotiations. Suffice to say what little goodwill existed between the countries has evaporated.

Get ready for the mass export of high- tech jobs to India and other places overseas because of this dumpster fire and H-1B visas. Not for a second would I consider paying that fee. I would open offices overseas in a NY minute. Watch for the job and building boom in Bangalore if this goes through.

It is one thing to be told there was slavery in the US, like they do in history class, but it is entirely different to understand the details of what happened. You will never look at US society the same once that depth of understanding occurs.

worldofbooks.comThe Half Has Never Been ToldAmericans tend to cast slavery as a pre-modern institution,the nation's original sin, perhaps, but isolated in time and divorced from America's later success. But to do so robs the millions who suffer...

In Germany during the Nazi regime, this level of spectacle was given the utmost importance. Hitler was known to be particular about the choreography of every public event. The propaganda had to be perfect, especially in front of cameras. That is what is happening here. They are going to milk this.
