You know what makes me think I should abandon all hope, the Military spends 740 billion a year, and yet veterans do not have health care.

Krystal and Saagar made some interesting comments on their Breaking Points show. Evidently CEOs of monopolies are bragging about purposely raising prices, as scare tactics, to reinforce inflation, for their own profit! 😖

Can you remind me, why the 1.75 trillion is a success, and not an epic failure. When you compare what we actually got, vs the 19 trillion need, the 10 trillion compromise, the 6 trillion compromise, the 3.5 trillion red line in the sand, the we will conceed the BAD infrastructure bill for the 3.5

to the 1.75 to the 1.75 WITH a tax cut to the rich. Explain to me why we should be happy? Crumbs!....YAY well done democrats....I can not be the only one that is appalled?

One of the points that was not mentioned much is corporate price gouging as a way for corporations to get a quick profit of and as contributor to inflation and its rising. And also, inflation rises quickly, but retreats VERY slowly, because once corporations get a taste of the new price they are very loath to go back, because, hey...Profit margin. As for paying 23/hr to be an usher, I am pretty sure you'd have a line round the block for that job. But, I think you missed the point/goal of capitalism, "Profit". Still, 23/hr to greet the public, eat popcorn, drink pop, and watch movies that you like, even I want to think about quitting my current job to do that ;-) After watching Roger and me 50+ times I might reconsider,....But I doubt it.

Michael can you please help me I’m frightened and alone? I don’t know how best to reach you but I need help staying alive at this point because the hospital system in California won’t treat me for an infection that they have caused such that it will go away. I went to ucsf in December where they created an infection in my mid region by giving me insulin there without disinfecting it so that I developed cellulitis under the skin they say. However ucsf didn’t even look for it but discharged me horrifically so that I was admitted to Zuckerberg general on the ambulance ride home with pain at a 10. They didn’t diagnose or treat it either but sent me home with blood sugars of 450, 4 times the normal range. My ucsf doctors diagnosed it on zoom and called the Er near me at John Muir concord to admit me and they did for cellulitis. They treated me with iv antibiotics but sent me home too soon on oral antibiotics though they knew they hadn’t worked when I was given those by my own doctors. So of course it didn’t work and I was readmitted but sent out on an oral antibiotic that was 90 percent bio available but I couldn’t tolerate it. So the infectious disease doctor said to discontinue it but come back in. I did and this time they discharged me after long lasting iv antibiotics that I was allergic to. Only this time they literally said I didn’t have it at all and was deranged for thinking so and tried to medicate me for it with absolutely no prior history or symptoms for mental illness. But the pain is intense, my blood sugars are high when they are usually in tight control and I have hard areas under the skin that haven’t resolved yet. They were there all over at first and there was a rash visible on top of the skin initially which was hot to the touch so that it was obviously there though atypical. Now I know that it is there in the deepest layers of the skin but they won’t acknowledge it but called the police to remove me instead. They of course refused so then the hospital was going to send lift team to strap me down to send me by ambulance so I just went home with no care plan in place. I am wheelchair bound and bed bound now with very little help at home. The state is supposed to pay for my caregiving support but they don’t hire people to do so. I am supposed to do so but I have no way of doing it effectively. I know that I’m still sick because the infectious disease doctor who cared for me volunteered to treat me pro Bono in conjunction with my doctors at contra Costa county dice he isn’t contracted with them. But I can’t even get there because the caregivers are supposed to provide transportation and I don’t have any to do so. So I’m afraid I’m going to die with this nonsense going on because the vision doctor they sent me to the other day said that I was blacking out and would lose my eyesight if this continued with the blood sugars and blood pressure so out of control. It see saws from low to high with no one treating it because they won’t even set up transportation for me to see them though I have state media-cal. I have over 100 lbs of water weight accumulated from congestive heart failure that they haven’t been treating for years that’s partly why this infection is behaving so atypically. So they are prejudiced against me to boot.

Stephanie Kelton seems awesome; I have to play catch-up , catsup - ketchup on all this ? #@*^^! it. Last three episodes / guests seemed to have very worthy books worth forking out for perhaps. Also trying see where I can download Oeccanomica (sp) - Watched MONEYBALL yesterday night. [That was a real "Light bulb " moment. ~ Maniac (one of my top 5 favorites ) with Jonah Hill also.

I might have a rummage around on some older K.O. "Resistance" vids as he had something very prescient regarding his father and veteran's care.
