Care for the Vulnerable vs. Cash for the Powerful
Forums:
From the New England Journal of Medicine, a perspective on the nominee for secretary of health and human services (HHS). This is an incredibly powerful position in developing health care and human services policies for us, the People. It gave me a lot to think about.

Remember when Obama first got
Remember when Obama first got elected (and for the next 8 years) and the Conservatives lost their shit over it - do you think that it's worse for people now than it was for them?
Agree or not, a lot of people were worried about Obama, and they still think that he fucked it the country. The fact is that it's debatable. When Trump is done, will it also be debatable, or will virtually everyone think he fucked it up?

If you think any of them
If you think any of them actually gave a fuck ( after CARTER ) you have been played ,....Brian thank you for being so dead on point.
The pendulum swings always will. Bitching at the swing away from where you thought it should go is wasting your energy,.... and doing exactly what the folks that hold the strings to that pendulum want you to be focused on. If you thought Obama was good for the Country ( i really appreciated seeing a non white face at the Helm, but expected no more actual effect ) just imagine the positive outcome your going to get in 4 to 8 years when we go back the other way and ask yourself, how far can i really get if i take two steps backwards for every two i take forward? i think you understand the answer on a soul level, Nada baby, nada!

Hey Judit, how about just
Hey Judit, how about just having a "Swear Jar' instead of a cover charge,....Brian would have kicked down at least a $1.00 right there.
Brian i agree, people that rise to the top of this scene wanted to be on top of it and ride that monster other wise, i concur 'No Fucks Given.'
KEEP SWEARING FREE,...Or i swear your going to get greedy about what it might be worth.
