Robot Death Panels

Wealth flows upwards, it doesn’t trickle down, in our current system.

I got my husband’s heart bypass surgery for 50 % off at a Black Friday sale event!

Didn’t a Republican coin the term voodoo economics to describe Reagan’s tax plan? Can’t remember the fellow’s name.

The buck never stops.

Don’t forget the military. Hard to buy all that lethal, maximum kill, warfighting hardware and pay soldiers without all that “stolen” tax money.

Might not be that much of a problem if we taxed ourselves like the Greatest Generation taxed themselves to pay down the war debt they had run up. Those folks still believed this country was worth paying for as well as dying for. Not so much today.

Nitpick: How is this a restoration? Is there a color film process that existed in 1899? I would call it a colorized video created from a film shot in 1899. It is nice to imagine what the colors of life might have been back then, but is calling colorization of B&W footage “restoration” correct?

So budh means “to awaken” and buds are the parts of the dormant plant which awaken and grow in the spring.

If you don’t know about Iran Air Flight 655 getting shot down by the USS Vincennes you might want to look it up. It was not one of the greater moments in US military history.

Both of them, none of them, this one, that one, and all of them, depending on what they need you to think right now.

let’s also add ‘people who voted for a candidate with no chance to win but allowed them to feel good about themselves’.

If you like eye watering debt and deficits, vote for Cotton. The debt has doubled on his watch.

What’s that got to do with real estate?

When they deregulated and lowered prices low enough that slobs could afford to buy a ticket, what did you think was going to happen? Reregulate, jack prices back up and then you can institute a dress code. Flying was much more pleasant when it was a luxury. Commodification killed the experience.

Obama did steal the Republican’s healthcare plan and they probably own stock in the companies selling the policies, so it does make sense.
