“The two words ‘information’ and ‘communication’ are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting through.”

But gag, what stench from yonder White House falls?
It is the East, and Trump doth stink.
Great God Almighty, Trump stinks.
But a thin, bespectacled woman has a plan for that.
And she is persisting.
She was warned.
She was called Pocahontus.
But nevertheless, she is persisting!
Hold on, America,
Help is on the way.
So for God's sake, stay upwind!
Another persistent woman — Denver Post uses the Washington Post's story on Sarah Thomas, a Colorado cancer survivor who swam the English Channel — 4 times.
Colorado cancer survivor becomes first person to swim English Channel four times non-stop: Sarah Thomas swam 84 miles without a break over 54 hours
“Because of strong tides, she ended up swimming closer to 130 miles, according to the BBC.”
How the GM workers strike makes Bernie Sanders’s case for Medicare-for-all: Joe Biden argued Medicare-for-all would be bad for unions. Then General Motors cut health benefits to striking union workers.
Whole Foods is cutting medical benefits for hundreds of part-time workers
Universal health care. Free at the point of service.
Me, trying to figure out how I'll pay for a major surgery I have to schedule next year.
Buy medical insurance that includes surgery.
I have a $6,250 annual individual max out of pocket. Surgery will cost all of that. Plus transport, wife's time off work (no paid time off), minor bits and bobs (bandages, gauze, new sheets for the ones that get blood on them, etc.), etc. So, another $1,000 to $1,500. That's not cash I have laying around.
All with pretty good insurance. Honestly, that’s me getting off easy compared to others.
Just so folks know, the Pew definition for “middle class,” which seems pretty well accepted, is 2/3 to 2x the median income, or, in the case of the greater Denver area, roughly 40k to 140k. Maybe if they defined it with values instead…
Dont' get sick or die fast.
I read about it years ago.
There's a savage and more than a little disturbing PSA from Sandy Hook Promise titled Back-to-School Essentials here.
This particular organization focuses not on firearm regulation but rather on identifying and getting help for potential school shooters. Hopefully, that plus the fact that this comment is fairly well buried will keep the usual dipshits from slithering in and telling us about how the tree of liberty must on occasion be watered with the blood of murdered school children.
Someone posted the ad on the Colorado Democratic Women's Facebook group, Genghis. It was chilling and heartbreaking, but as long as the ammosexuals hold sway in this country, it is reality.
Ed Perlmutter , who voted against an impeachment resolution last July, concedes that an impeachment investigation is ongoing, and that it’s time to take the next steps. “Next steps” are hearings- Lewandowski’s bellicose performance before the House Judiciary Committee yesterday was the first of many to come.
