Virtue Signalling

First (conscious) attempt at virtue signalling!
How am I doing!?!

The Fallacy of "Healthcare Insurance"

It is easy to forget that for decades the United States HAD a health care system that was the envy of the world. We had the finest doctors and hospitals, patients received high-quality, affordable medical care, and thousands of privately funded charities provided health services for the poor.

The financing of healthcare in our country is a huge policy issue that is fought over on multiple fronts. Politicians, bureaucrats, giant corporations, lobbyists, big and small providers, vendors, nonprofits, you, me, and anybody else that pays for or mitigates the costs of healthcare. The battlefields are all over the place. The battlelines are constantly changing.

NRA and Bump Stocks

Is the NRA ideologically flexible?

I think it is . It appears that the NRA is playing practical politics by throwing the left a bone: Maybe, the NRA will support additional federal regulation of bump stocks.

AntiFa IS a Terrorist Org

I'm not big on petitions. But this one is worth participation - at least for entertainment value. The We The People citizens petition site pledges to respond to petitions that reach 100,000 signatures within 30 days. And boy has this one. It's at almost a-quarter-of-a-million signatures as of this posting. My money is on Trump personally responding.

We The People Terrorist AntiFa Petition

"We The People" is mostly feel-good fluff for marginal rageaholics, but I get giddy seeing a petition like this do so well (says my inner rageaholic). I'd like to see it hit 10,000,000 within it's 30-day reaction window.
