$45 billion in market value gone in a week. The part of me that hates insurance companies celebrates. The pragmatist part of me that knows money buys my family opportunities and options wants to buy. It’s not like the new administration is going to do anything to hinder the bloodsuckers.

66.5% of bankruptcies are directly caused by medical expenses. But only in the USA. Literally only here.

Does he genuinely not understand that, or is he just trying to set up his cult for when they try and change election laws to ensure they keep winning? What’s particularly asinine is the Democrats would likely do […]

Romania is more willing to stand up to Russia and preserve their democracy than the USA. We are a country led by cowards, thieves and traitors.
