It's funny how rich people are best motivated by carrots, but poor people have to be motivated only by sticks...

In Australia (in particular my state), all medical treatment would be free and then ongoing costs (for rehab, psychology, loss of income etc) would be covered by the TAC- Transport Accident Commission. www.tac.vic.gov.au/about-the-ta... Regardless of who's at fault. We're so bloody lucky.

What we do

The TAC pays benefits to people injured in transport accidents. Working closely with our road safety partners, the TAC also actively campaigns to reduce the incidence of road trauma through accident ...

Calling up my general contractor to redo the bathroom. “Make it entirely out of obsidian,” I scream into the phone, watching my wife pack all our kids’ things into the car. “Jagged surfaces and pain everywhere!”

I watch them drive away. They don’t look back.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Dementia is by far most prevalent in those over 65 and a clock face drawing is very much applicable in that cohort (my job involves memory testing). I agree that it will become less useful in younger groups/generations.
