I'm George Evensen, new to Blue Sky, tired of the arrangements to obfuscate, confuse, and disingenuously lead us down wrong paths. I'm seeking honest thinking, which can include conjecture, searching, approval, beauty, artistry, and peace.

Once again MSM. Trump had NOTHING to do with this deal. The negotiations were behind the scenes with zero input from the deranged Orange Menace. He invited Netanyahu, a war criminal, to the WH to cook some $$ deals.

Of course the tech giants are riding on the backs of average people thanks to hidden back room deals between state politician, federal departments and Congress. If Red Voters and Blue voters worked together this could all be changed but oligarchs are winning.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.
