    So very much all of this. Just because corpo America, the 1% and the fake numbers stock market are doing good means nothing for the average American.

    Our wages are stagnate. Our healthcare either kills you or bankrupts you. Our housing is prohibitively expensive. Our food is to expensive to eat. Our education system doesn’t educate and is slowly privatizing. And our police are killing us in lieu of protecting us.

    But we’ve got guns for tot’s, piles of dead school children, an insurrectionist running for president, insurrectionists in congress facing zero consequences, a fading separation of church and state. Rising hate crime numbers. And a corrupt Supreme Court openly accepting bribes to destroy democracy.

    Yeah Joey everything is sunshine and rainbows.

      That healthcare bit hit home. Been trying to get treatment for 9 months. Docs spent a lot of my money doing nothing. I got tired of trusting, read peer journals, put together my own plan using promising options, have the first actual sustained relief I’ve seen since last May.

      $100 OTC versus like $6000 in tests, scans, and fuckery.

      I guess it beats the NHS, partner can’t even get seen for a fractured vertebrae. “Do PT first.”
