    Oh sweet, you added another level to my impulse to comment “guilty”. Not only did I hold my nose and vote for Harriss over this above most other issues, I don’t even particularly believe we as a species deserve to survive.

    I just don’t believe animals, let alone other individual humans, deserve to suffer over my opinions and our collective indifference to the state in which we leave or keep the planet. We’ve got a long, painful extinction looming over us, whether in a thousand generations or two.

    Leaning into it with the maggats is just an absurd response from anyone with more than two brain-cells to rub together.

            Speak for yourself. As a disabled veteran, my healthcare is covered, just not my wife and kids’, just yet. Socialism has actually been alive and well for certain swaths of the US population for a long time, just like the “socialism” that Hitler wanted for Germany … and now I’m back to thinking I should move my family off of this sinking ship.

                I have a regular job(for the moment; Seem to have hit upon a reasonable medication/therapy/routine regimen that allows for that, if not a sound state of mind). Doesn’t take a disability rating that pays much of anything to get the Healthcare coverage.

                That said, there are plenty of countries where I, maybe even my family, could live off what I get from the VA. I’m not looking to retire yet though.

                  Sounds like you’re all set. One of the few. Glad you’re physically feeling well enough to work.

                  And for what it’s worth, thanks for your service.
