The Preamble to the Constitution does include the fact that the Constitution was established to, among other things: "promote the general Welfare". Which could be defined as supporting the well-being and health of the citizens. And depriving them of clean water would seem to abrogate that.

And the more people they drop the more people use the emergency room and can't pay their bills and the more hospitals raise their prices and the more expensive insurance gets and the more people they drop. We are in a doom loop.

It sounds like an important step to protect Mexico. But part of the problem is that the US makes it difficult to officially renounce your citizenship.

FBI Reportedly Loosens Hiring Rules So ‘Prostitution and Bestiality’ Are No Longer ‘Automatic Disqualifiers’
The FBI has reportedly relaxed hiring standards that previously automatically disqualified applicants who admitted to hiring prostitutes, engaging in bestiality, or stealing from an employer.

“Solar panels bolted over 2 working irrigation canals in California’s Central Valley cut evaporation beneath them by as much as 70 percent, and the aquatic weed that fouls those channels dropped by about 85 percent”

The 70% reduction in evaporation is significant in an area with a diminishing water supply.

If they approve this I’m going to enjoy watching the middle and lower income Floridians get eaten alive by regressive taxes and fees so the wealthy don’t have to pay property taxes.

I don’t think anything he’s done has been as depressing to me as his treatment of Canada. The U.S. and Canada have been as close as two countries can be. For decades. And there is no rational justification for it. It breaks my heart.

Am I the only one who has done the math? 300,000 metric tons is about 661 million pounds of beef or about 2.4% of the 28 billion pounds of beef Americans consume every year. That it is not a flood and seems unlikely to have much effect on the price of beef. What have I missed?

The #CDC has an entire page (www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe...) dedicated to the following statement: "The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism." The CDC website should not be trusted.

It wasn't BCBS rate that killed Jackson Hospital. It was the same things as always—greed, mismanagement and, amazingly, too many sick patients.

I recall a post a couple of weeks ago where it was explicitly stated that the money would not go to Iran but to US companies. That's why the line item in the agreement is worded the way it is. That was one of the Administration's first lines of defense against the criticism of giving Iran $300B.
