Telling It Like It Is

From Palmer Report:

There’s a reason right wingers have spent the past three years falsely insisting that President Joe Biden is in cognitive decline. It’s because they’ve seen their own guy Donald Trump going senile, and they’ve been trying to get out ahead of it. But at this point there’s simply no way to distract from the fact that Trump’s brain is gone. This sums up it quite well:

“Braindead psychopath” indeed. We need to start making the national political conversation all about how Donald Trump’s cognitive abilities have vanished entirely. That’s the quickest way to make him politically irrelevant.

Hashtags including #DementiaDon and #TrumpMentalHealth and #TrumpIsNotWell all began trending on Twitter as Friday night went on, due to the sheer number of people talking about Trump’s cognitive collapse. It feels like everyone is finally taking this issue seriously. I’ve been saying for months that Trump’s worsening senility is the biggest story in politics, and it’s nice to see that it’s finally starting to be treated that way.

I Can Understand the Resurgence of Vinyl…

…but cassettes are making a comeback? Seriously?

WHY?!

I was chatting with my buddy Ken a couple weeks ago, discussing our audio equipment, and he asked, “What cassette deck do you have these days?”

I told him I didn’t have a cassette deck—and in fact hadn’t owned one for nearly 20 years. He was flabbergasted, just couldn’t comprehend how I didn’t have one…

He’s Not Wrong

I’m all for this. But at the same time—if I may play Devil’s advocate here for a moment—where will the money come from to fund the doctors’, nurses’, and staff salaries? Who will pay for building and maintaining the hospitals and treatment centers? Who will fund research?

Government, yes. But where will the government get that money?

Where they get money for everything else. Taxes.

Taxes that—as of the way everything in this country is structured right now—will most adversely affect the poor.

So technically speaking, healthcare still won’t be free—althought it most definitely will be cheaper than going into the ER for a relatively minor upper respiratory infection that could’ve been handled by your Primary Care Physician or even an Urgent Care facility, but ending up with an overnight hospital stay “for observation” and walking out the next day with a $10 prescription and a $14K bill…

(Yes, this happened to me a couple months ago. Thankfully I’d already met my insurance deductible for the year and it cost me only a few dollars, but not everyone is so lucky.)
