Caroline’s letter was another Kennedy Profile in Courage. Her dad & uncles would be proud of her. Too bad Congress is unlikely to pay attention to it.

There’s an ad on TikToc for an online IQ test & it shows ppl celebrating scores in the 80’s & 90’s…it’s not a flex! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

And now they are falsely reporting that he got all the displaced ppl in WNC housed in furnished apts. There are no apts to be had. I live in WNC, all he did was a photo op

Makes 100% sense. Congress needs to wake up & realize the young ppl are the glue this country desperately needs.

💯 So disgusting that Dems keep putting Methuselah’s in positions rather than cashing in on bright, young ppl like AOC

Evangelicals hate him bc he called them out….”Evangelical Christianity has been hijacked by a group of ppl who would turn Jesus himself away if he showed up at their door.”….just one example

Same…..counting out change for gas…..but I still voted for Jimmy. I could feel the disingenuousness of Reagan & knew in my soul that “trickle down economics” was nothing more than fancy words for the rich getting richer on the backs of the average American.

I couldn’t love this more. I’m sure John Lewis is one of the ppl that greeted Jimmy Carter at the gates…..one good man meeting another.

It certainly is & flags still flying at half staff at inauguration is Jimmy’s final statement.

This is the history of black women in this country. They fight the hardest & are disregarded the most.

Privatizing anything generally does not work out well. Medicare Advantage plans are privatized & are 💩 at best. SS will not fare better…….allows for too much corporate greed.

gradysmom.bsky.social @gradysmom.bsky.social · 06/12/2024
For sure! As a retired provider, I recommend traditional Medicare & a supplement if still available. That’s what we have & it’s hands down the best insurance we’ve ever had. I didn’t accept Advantage plans when I was working bc of low allowables & high denial rates.

We have a house that will go on the market in a few years. We are determined it will go to a family & not sell out to corporate America.

My sister had a surgery that was supposed to be 10 hrs…..16 hrs later they finally finished. Imagine what could have happened….surgeon rushing, sister being responsible for the 6 hrs not covered, etc. Health care should not be determined by insurance companies

I had bilateral mastectomy bc I had breast cancer & the brca mutation. Standard Medicare & supplement paid all but $83.00. Friend on UHC had $7000.00 out of pocket for the same surgery.

You have to ask why?

gradysmom.bsky.social @gradysmom.bsky.social · 05/12/2024
The Congressional pockets being filled by insurance lobbyists is why it won’t happen. Medicare for all would be much cheaper & better coverage, but greedy politicians will never pass a bill. If they did, insurance co’s profits would disappear bc they’d be out of business.

If you’re affected by a natural disaster don’t accept help from FEMA.

Who even cares what anyone thinks about it. Ppl need to move on. If his name was anything other than Biden he would never have been charged. Joe should have pardoned sooner.

The way they applauded every time he said that….🤦🏼‍♀️. Then he actually told them he didn’t care about them, just their vote…& again the applause accompanied by laughter. And they get mad when they’re called morons. 🤷🏼‍♀️

There are far too many ppl in this country that are clueless about how the economy works, blame politicians for corporate greed & believe whatever Fox tells them.

For the safety of everyone, we all need to keep ours dogs on a leash. Our dog gets so excited to greet other dogs that often she appears aggressive. We are working on appropriate approaching behavior and I completely understand others caution of her.

These folks thrive on anger, hatred, racism & being outraged over EVERYTHING. It’s pissing them off that the left is not biting their bait.

So glad to hear there is a good bookstore in Ann Arbor! I loved the flagship Borders when I was at UofM many, many years ago. It was before they expanded and it was a magical place!
