For my family I pay $24,000 a year for healthcare that doesn’t cover my leukemia needs. I pay $65,000 a year in health care for my employees. I’m DROWNING.

Well, Ethiopia was an Italian colony so perhaps it’s good in Rome. My dad lived in Mogadishu Somalia when it was Italian. My grandfather was a miller there and 2 uncles born there. Then after the war ended they came back to Italy (minus my grandfather but that’s a whole other story).

It’s like she’s just realizing that beyond the bullshit hot button decisive nothingburgers that have no effect on everyday life, there’s actually legislative shit that affects constituents’ lives that are much more important than that divisive bullshit fluff her party focuses on

I didn’t want to be home when he came home. I didn’t want to work. I didn’t want to eat. So I’m sitting in an abandoned kohls parking lot questioning my life decisions. I’m so fundamentally unhappy in almost every aspect of my life and it’s 70% me.
