Sticks48 comments on Feb 28, 2020:

Nope. I was born to play music for a living. I tried a career in advertising and was good at parts of it, but found business people and routine boring. At the age of 25 l switched careers and never looked back. No doubt I would have made more money with my original choice, but it would not have been as fun, interesting, exciting, or satiisfying.

That is a lot better. And who doesn't think you should come out of college 30 to 100 thousand dollars in debt, strapped with ridiculous interest rates before they have a job? That would be stupid to get rid of that program. All of this still has to go through Congress. It would not happen overnight, but if it doesn't get there over time along with some other changes like economic equity you won't have to worry about any of this because we will not survive as a country the way things are going.

Yale Study Says Medicare for All Would Save U.

Medicare for all would not be cheap for the individual. You would need Part B. Medicare only covers 80%, so you need supplemental insurance. Then there is the deductible. If you are a family of four you have to sign up everyone to individual plans and that is going to get real expensive. Why can every modern country on the planet can come up with a national health care system which doesn't fuck the average person except this fucking hillbilly nation? If I didn't have the VA l would be screwed.

Some people are born with great genes and live long mostly healthy lives, and everyone one else is born with one or more of the 400 genetic diseases that exist. Advantage great genes.

All Christians do not like trump. That is ridiculous. Registered republicans account for a little over 25% of registered voters. Registered Democrats make up a little over 25% of registered voters. So called independents make up the rest. I have read anywhere from 70 to 110 million eligible voters did not vote in 2016. Most Democrats are self proclaimed Christians as are most Americans. So you think all of the Dems are going to vote for trump. Do you think most Indies including left leaning Indies ( Most Indies are not really Indies. They do lean left or right. They just aren't fanatical about it. ) are going to vote for trump. I think you are way off the mark. It doesn't mean he can't win. It depends on where those votes are located. If it was based on the popular vote, he wouldn't have a chance.
