Any equipment that hadn’t been stolen was smashed, there was a makeshift cemetery in the school yard and deep trenches had been dug across the football pitch.

They thought they were buying Obamacare plans. What they got wasn’t insurance.
Some consumers who think they are signing up for Obamacare insurance find out later they actually purchased a membership to a health care sharing ministry. But regulators and online advertising sites don’t do much about it.

This is something that more people need to be aware of, as far too many people are too busy right now to understand how badly their right to vote is being eroded and flat out stolen away. The second part of this is to make votes not in Republicans favor simply no longer count, to make them invalid. Republicans have endorsed the idea that they alone have the right to be in elected office, they have the right to rule. No Democrat win in an election is valid as Democrats do not have the right to hold office. This is the Republicans openly saying they reject democracy and the voice of the people in favor of a one party rule such as China has. Instead of the Republicans listening to the will of the people the Republicans in office will force the people to do / live as the office holder demands they do. Hugs

As some wit famously said of Nixon, he was so crooked he needed a cork screw to put on his trousers. The GOP has taken that lesson to heart:
The plan, as outlined by a Republican National Committee staffer in Michigan, includes utilizing rules designed to provide political balance among poll workers to install party-trained volunteers prepared to challenge voters at Democratic-majority polling places, developing a website to connect those workers to local lawyers and establishing a network of party-friendly district attorneys who could intervene to block vote counts at certain precincts. “Being a poll worker, you just have so many more rights and things you can do to stop something than [as] a poll challenger,” said Matthew Seifried, the RNC’s election integrity director for Michigan, stressing the importance of obtaining official designations as poll workers in a meeting with GOP activists in Wayne County last…

Oh my sweet cats. This video is from 1958 and they had the idea of things we are being sold as great new tech for today. This video starts slow but get past that to see the use of small gas motors to power electric drives, modern cruise controls sensors, key fobs instead of keys and so much more. Ten Bears is correct, we are not looking to the future as they did, instead we are using what they thought the future could be. Why are we no longer doing that? Why are our people not looking to what could be in 20 or 40 years? Has greed become so powerful that only that which makes money now worth pursuing? Are we at the pinnacle of our human experiment? I was stunned by this video. Thanks, Ten Bears for sharing. Hugs
