Yeah, no shit. They wrote a bunch of books with varying accounts claiming exactly this. All retcon. All written decades after the events. The Bible is bullshit.

You don’t have to eat cake.

What about pieces of a gun?

What if five people printed five different parts and traded them?

What if the pieces have multiple purposes, only one of which is part of the assembly of a gun?

Money is a lubricant.

That’s all retconning.

Dude showed up with a message for peace, was murdered and his murder is celebrated. Literally, a bunch of people running around pretending that’s what he wanted. The propaganda is so strong that everyone just accepts it as fact.

It’s really not much different than claiming a women wanted to be sexually assaulted because of what she was wearing.

It was all the consolidation. They’re little feifdoms now.

Best we can hope for is some new medium to rise up that they cannot buy out.

Mostly the same. My biggest headache has been some of my dependents have secondary insurance and no matter which company I’ve been with at the time, they always assume all of the do and will forget multiple times a year which are which and deny all of them claims until I talk to them because there are of course no self serve options there.

I also care for a child who is on medicaid, never any problems there. All the scary news on how I shouldn’t be able to find providers has never been an issue and they are many medical conditions.

Those are the stories I call bullshit on. They want us to be afraid of single payer so they over emphasize lack of care while ignoring the people who directly pay and actually lack care.

Quite the opposite.

The older you get the less clever it feels to point out the common mistakes of others

Because drinking “milk” from nuts and oats isn’t weird?

People have been drinking animal milk for thousands of years so the weird ones are those pretending some heavily processed industry process isn’t weird.
