A couple of things that are bugging me right now [in no particular order]:
- ANOTHER school shooting?
- The 7th day of rain – supposedly we will see some sun tomorrow afternoon in between showers
- Income inequity – they keep saying the recession is over, unemployment is back down, and the economy is back on track. Then how come I know so many people who are involuntarily retired, cannot find jobs that pay over minimum wage, and are struggling to make ends meet?
- Why is everything that I really like to eat bad for me?
- Partisan politics – seriously guys, stop pointing fingers at each other and figure out how to address the real problems of the country? And by the way, it is pretty much a given that Russia influenced our election – can we just figure out how to keep it from happening again please?
- Healthcare – the United States has the best care that money can buy. Unfortunately 99% don’t have the wherewithal to buy it
- Israelis VS Palestinians – well lots of things, but today? Will someone explain to me in very simple terms how a two-state solution would work when Gazza isn’t anywhere close to the rest of the proposed Palestinian state?
- CGI – people can be put in videos and shows when they weren’t there and made to say things they didn’t say. How can we accept any photo/video evidence?
STOP
I’m going back to my books and 2nd life. Catch up with you later.
