Take 5k as a bribe, pay 100k for a life saving surgery or just believe in a fair social democratic society which may not be perfect but which will make sure you do not end up broke over a medical bill. My choice is made.

Imagine paying $50 for an all you can eat buffet. The lines a bit long but the food is ok. Now imagine you only pay $20 to go to the buffet. But Each piece of food costs $500 dollars. Drinks are at a different buffet. Same with silverware. Long lines too. Universal vs whatever our healthcare is.

LSU found a man responsible for r*ping a woman and decided suspension was too harsh. Kendall was a freshman when a football player assaulted her in his on-campus dorm in October 2025. She went to the hospital for a r*pe kit. She filed a Title IX complaint in January.

What's becoming difficult to do is name any of Donald Trump's closest friends abroad who AREN'T war criminals. He himself is of course ALSO a war criminal—but there are still people in the United States who are surprised when they realize he's willing to commit Crimes against Humanity here at home.
