Look at Mississippi. They turned welfare money into the Governor’s slush fund giving millions to Brett Favre, the state right wing radio network, etc.

Think of the drug companies and nursing home investors and all the crazy gimmicks and frauds advertised on old people tv. What would happen to the reverse mortgage huckster industry?

Eh, ending these programs would force everyone who isn't a millionaire to work until they die, just like in the "good old days" or drop dead from lack of medical care. Also just like in the "good old days."

My great grandmother killed herself at age 78, rather than to continue to be a burden to her family.

That is heartbreaking.

I will never forget this movie - "Ballad of Naryama" - about one Japanese village's approach to the burden of the elderly. It was Roger Ebert's last entry on his great film's list before his death.

Maybe in 2024. 2023 is going to see the end of the Voting Rights Act, affirmative action and popular elections. Wish I was exaggerating. They're going to make all the fake elector schemes legal.

Affirmative action is literally racist. Why do you support it?

Because it is the a la carte version of democracy. I interpret things that are squares to be circles to fit my agenda. And whine about it. I can’t get after snack on a voting line but I want artificial quotas for college admission. Got it.

Just presenting the facts. Not making a value judgment either way. Although, did y'all not notice the other two things mentioned? I actually do believe in democracy. I do believe that in our country the right to vote is sacred. I do believe that voters, not the state legislatures, should decide who wins elections. Guess y'all don't. In which case what's the point?
