Healthcare

[Superbone]

That's horrible Dack... I heard that too. I f'ing hate healthcare in this country. My mom passed from pancreatic cancer July 20th... In April she had got an infection in a bile duct... Long story short, the doctor fucked around and didn't want to do the procedure unless she moved to the facility, he was a partner at. Forget that it was an hour away from her house or the fact she was already in a hospital with perfectly good facilities. The cancer would have got her anyway; but that last 4 months was fucking miserable because of how doctors wanted to do what was best for their wallet and not the patient. Just typing this now is fucking inferiating me... GRRRRR!

That’s horrible. Really sorry you and your family had to go through that.

Pancreatic cancer. That’s a tough one. Sorry for your loss. We lost my mother and her husband my step dad this past year. The older you get the more you see your loved ones and friends pass away. The story of life and death and all that stuff between.

Three’s Company lost another one in Suzanne Sommers. She was hot in her day.

Health care in this country will never be fixed.

A long story on the effects of operating heavy weapons in the military on the human brain. It’s physically hurting their brains and causing all kinds of bad things Ike hallucinations.

Sort of health care. Don’t go to San Francisco. They have homeless people.

Big cities have homeless problem. Film at 11. Seattle city center has a lot of homeless, and it's an issue. It's one of the toughest problems that is almost impossible to solve. In Seattle they're fairly tolerant / nice to the homeless, so all these big shanty towns and tent camps crop up. I don't want the homeless being beaten up and thrown in jail or whatever, but at the same time, it also isn't good to have these weird dirty / crime-ridden encampments in the middle of the city.

I figured this is as good of a place to put this as any. I hope that they don't get the people that were supposed to put in a high speed train in California in charge of this project. He's big mad at all the politicians, both Dems and Reps. Could someone explain why this is necessary right now? Perhaps I am missing the big picture, as the details and reasoning is not explained.

Putting a train on the moon? What purpose does that serve?

That's what I want to know.

That's probably it. Guess those years of watching 'For All Mankind' made them think.

They have all also analyzed a lot of moon rocks and taken a lot of detailed pictures. Makes you wonder how you mine the moon and then get that back to earth. It’s low gravity so maybe that plays a part. Tons of ore being dropped on planet earth seems slightly risky for those in its path. Big reusable parachutes I guess.

Then we will figure out that taking millions of pounds of ore from the moon and putting it on earth causes the moons orbit to change causing catastrophic problems on earth.
