  • All other things aside. I just don’t think trump is capable of doing anything but shooting himself in the foot. All someone has to do is wave money under his nose and he will betray the country and himself.

    For him it’s all about the money. I’ve always felt russia bribed him to stay out of ukraine, and will do it again.

    The Saudi’s and israel probably lined his pockets to attack Iran.

    It’s just who he is, shallow and greedy.





  • Just for the record, no I’m not trolling, I’m just angry. And I should probably just walk away, but what the fuck.

    I run across arrogant self centered pricks like you all the time. The ones who say “Hey, my life is just fine. I’m doing great. And I’m just to much of a narcissist to imagine people who may be worse off than me”

    You think that just because you are healthy and active at 59 you are going to stay that way? Well you’re wrong. That’s not how aging works.

    Will the biking help, oh hell yes. I ride an ebike and it’s great.

    But that doesn’t stop your body from breaking down it just delays the inevitable.

    And as for public transportation, yes, it great, unless you broke a hip in a fall, or have to use it to get to your chemo appointment, or are immune compromised, or anemic or… Do I really have to list all the medical conditions that make it inappropriate.

    And no, taxi’s and ambulances are not a substitute, or even available or affordable.

    My friend was on chemo last year, ran to the grocery store late one night, didn’t wear a mask. Was dead within two weeks, caught three different viruses at the same time. Covid, the flu and I can’t remember the third one. It was fucking horrific.

    And no, going into a nursing home or assisted living isn’t a good option. Because every time some arrogant young asshole walks through the front door with the sniffles, everyone in there dies. During covid they just become charnel houses. My cousin is a mortician and we talked about it. The morticians couldn’t keep up with all the bodies.

    My dad was in one the last year of covid because of a stroke, he died of covid.

    You all have decided how everyone else should face death, and that just makes you self centered pricks without an ounce of empathy.

    You lack imagination and you just don’t care about anyone but yourself.

    And yes I do live in the USA. And yes our healthcare really sucks. And the nearest hospital is 20 miles away. And even if there was public transportation I wouldn’t take it, because I am also immune compromised.

    Will this and my other posts get downvoted into oblivion? Oh hell yes.

    But the down arrow doesn’t make you right. It just means you lack the experience and imagination to understand. You haven’t had to face the tough choices of end of life issue. But you will. And at that point, some arrogant prick will tell you to just take the bus.

    Your down votes don’t make me wrong. They just make you clueless.

    You can have your eco chamber back now.
