Overhead a man ask if the Giant employee had talked to the "union guys" down the street, he wondered what they're "fussing about".

You see, the phrase "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" is in the Declaration of Independence not the Constitution. So a clean environment is really just the 1776 version of a misleading movie trailer.

The most inspiring and American thing I saw today was the large number of people who chose to celebrate the tradition of demanding that we do better to live up to our ideals. That's America 🇺🇸

I'm not saying all music on Amazon's Echo needs to be on demand and add free, but maybe after the 17th time I ask it to play Row Row Row Your Boat, it can have mercy on a tired dad? Please capitalism, have a heart (or at least play it one freakin time). 😭

I'll admit it, the reflecting pool drama has me entertained. It's a completely self inflicted and absurd wound and there's about a zero percent chance it distracts anyone (other than Trump) from Epstein, the War, or anything else.

Ok but first of all,did they call it a war in their request for funds when Congress has not declared war? Secondly, we know they're going to get it anyway because there's somehow always money for bombs but never money for peace. (Even when our president starts the war)

Dr BlueCross and Nurse BlueShield are doing a fine job.
3 weeks ago I started patient on blood pressure medication 30-day supply no refills he's coming in in 2 days for me to reevaluate. They ask the pharmacy to ask me for a 90-day supply of a medicine that I don't even know if it works yet.

Maybe the near universal practice of staffing just barely enough people and paying them just barely enough while treating them just barely human, might just maybe be destroying this country?

Disappointed how many physicians who have served in Congress (particularly from EM, FM, and OBGYN) have been Republican. These specialties give a front row seat not just to how the healthcare system is failing many Americans but also how the economy impacts the nation's physical and mental health.

Death rate in ICE detention centers more than double was the headline. My question is why is there a death rate in the detention centers to begin with. I don't care if it went from 1 per year to 2 per year.

Looking to buy my daughter a stuffed dog that looks like our staffy. The website is based out of Australia but will ship to Canada but not the United States. I'm not saying it has anything to do with anything but the coincidence is suspicious.

Put on YouTube for background music at work, had a song catch my ear, then found out it was AI generated. The betrayal was especially hard as the song was soulful jazz. Can't trust the comments are not from bots and no real musicians behind the music. It's giving me Matrix vibes and I don't like it.

Separately I appreciate the confidence CMS has in us that they think we can diagnose a Vit D or B12 deficiency without the blood test. Covering the lab test for known deficiency but not for Fatigue or Dietary Deficiency is truly inspired.
