Its a monopoly in which many companies collaborate and cooperate. We have the most expensive health care in the world, but its output and performance is only mediocre (unless you can afford Major Medical). This isn't just inefficiency, or mismanagement; its a crime, and somebody needs to hang for it. Now I can understand why they would do whatever it takes to keep our health care system unchanged--after all, they are getting rich from it. What I can't understand is how they've managed to convince so many of its victims to help them prop it up. No one who profits from this arrangement now ever wants it to change. That's why they hate Hillary. That's why they'll spread whatever lies it takes to stop her, or anyone who feels the way she does.

Resulting in nothing. Nadda. Zip. Zero. This administration is a dumpster fire of convictions. She began earning the hatred of the right when she, as first lady, advocated a change to the health care system in Bill Clinton's first term. She has been vilified ever since. Of the two, in 2016, she was the most qualified to be POTUS. She knew how to run the executive branch of our government due to her experience. It's not a TV show. It's actual reality. Do you think she would have thrown out the pandemic handbook that might have stopped this? Do you think she would have taken tens of millions of government money to go golfing? Ask yourself where we would be right now if HRC were president. Better, or worse? have been spent investigating HRC. Resulting in nothing. Nadda. Zip. Zero.

Yeah, that was a difficult choice you had there, V.- six of one, half-dozen of the other- a real toss-up as to who was more qualified. Save that bullshit for elsewhere... it won't fly with anyone that has a functioning brain. The GOP has been the party of the stupid, the willfully ignorant, the party of white nationalists for a long time now- Trump was the inevitable result that many of us have been warning against for decades. No one can say they were not warned, no one can say they were shocked that Trump turned out to be the sort of 'man' he is... Those that voted for Trump knew full well that he was going to do great harm to Americans... they just hoped he would only hurt those smug liberals who are always saying 'I told you so!'... But we warned that this would be a disaster for everyone but the most obscenely wealthy... and guess what... 'I told you so!' Those that voted for this wanted atrocities, but they thought they would be somehow exempt... no sympathy for them. They deserve every bit of whats coming and so much more. They were complicit in the largest mass murder of Americans in our nation's history. If you voted for this then you should carry that burden to your deathbed.

Granted, these are politicians we're talking about, but the main difference between her and Trump is she's better at hiding her actions and connections. She's got too many controversies to her name (most of them <em>long</em> before the election, and her only real political experience before the Senate was being married to Bill "Can't keep it in his pants" Clinton (a serious violation of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursus_honorum" title="Cursus honorum" rel="nofollow"><em>cursus honorum</em></a>, if you ask me). This is another thing - I'm willing to bet she <em>knew</em> about his <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton%E2%80%93Lewinsky_scandal" title="Clinton-Lewinsky Scandal" rel="nofollow">affairs</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton_sexual_assault_and_misconduct_allegations" title="Bill Clinton Sexual Assault & Misconduct Allegations" rel="nofollow">sexual assaults</a>, but kept quiet, due to his use as political capital. There's a difference between a smart, tough, and capable women, and a scheming manipulator. It's not a Republican thing, or a sexism thing - it's a "this individual should not be trusted" thing. She ain't no "babe", either - she looks and acts like the female version of Emperor Palpatine. Face it, in '16, we were fucked no matter <em>who</em> won. She’s a snake, pure and simple.

He worked in medical research, knows coronavirus experts, and they say the best test is shit. I mean a fecal test. Like many universities are doing to detect it in specific dormitories. So far, both my SIL and niece are doing okay. My older brother probably had it, tested negative, but it was in his gut, so a nose swab would not have caught it.
