MINION OR CITIZEN?
News reports suggest that Obamacare/ACA must be addressed, speaking to subsidies for increasing premiums for the public. This is universal health care but inclusive of retaining and rewarding middlemen. That we are frightened of universal health care because it is socialism, seems a definition of inanity. ACA/Obamacare appears to be a desultory and complicated type of disease care that retains privatization and pays off middlemen as the health care for people deteriorates and becomes un-affordable.
WHY CARE ABOUT NEWS?
Media reports to the public what media wants the public to believe. Does anyone still believe the USA enjoys a Free Press rather than a corporate-owned-state-influenced media? Combine this view with hierarchical capitalism in which Speech is confused with money, Add on the unusual approach to democracy defined as “running government like a business” that feels similar to organized crime on a continuum of which end the USA may be approaching, and questions may come to mind.
WHITE SUPREMACY IS A STATE OF MIND
C-Span hosted discussions from the general public that are more pertinent to reality than most of anything heard from our so-called leaders.
BAIT AND SWITCH IN POLITICS
The good news about the state of governance in the USA is that more of the electorate is beginning to pay attention and question those who are in power.
CHOICE
The reason the following is the dismal state of governance in the USA is best explained by understanding this follows the model of dictatorship as profiting capitalists who are in the ascendancy in what is best defined as fascism, in one person’s view. Discuss this with your Representatives of The People, if you wish. The topic could be about diminishing choice for We The People.

A reason some people support 3rd-Party participation in political campaigns is that both of the duopoly Democratic and Republican are mouthpieces for capitalistic hierarchical Establishment and with Citizens United it can be mentioned that money is more of a motivating factor to these political corporations than is policy.

Defenders of Social Security on Tuesday urged the U.S. Senate to block President Joe Biden’s little-noticed nomination of Andrew Biggs—an American Enterprise Institute senior fellow with a history of supporting Social Security privatization—to serve on the independent and bipartisan Social Security Advisory Board.–end of portside info–
Appearances suggest money has been the motivating factor for each of the political corporate participants. –https://moguldom.com/298458/cornel-west-takes-off-on-jim-clyburn-for-being-owned-and-pimped-by-big-pharma-industry/
Toward the end of this discussion you can read about the censorship that seems apparent from political Parties that have taken control of Presidential debates from The League of Women Voters that in the past provided diversity. Not only is censorship a problem kept in place by efforts of the R&D duopoly, but ballot access is also nearly impossible for many 3rd-Party candidates.
https://peoplesparty.org/were-suing-florida-for-ballot-access/ –The Democrats and Republicans together have hurled this country into crushing inflation, mass homelessness, endless war, and growing authoritarianism. Every American has the right to vote against the establishment parties and for third party candidates who don’t answer to their billionaire donors. But in state after state, the increasingly unpopular corporate parties are trying to entrench their advantage with laws meant to suppress third parties and deny millions of Americans the right to vote for them.

The Digital World’s Real World Impact on the Environment
GULLIBLE NATION
The C-Span guest speaking about immigration, said (paraphrase) we all know America needs more low-income workers. Apparently the US is not sufficiently near to our traditional standards of slavery as yet.
RELIGION AND POLITICS
One wonders if it is supposed to be impolite, discussion about politics or religion, the better for hierarchical Establishment to use both to control We The People. Perhaps this also keeps the public in the dark about ideas other than those in each particular cubicle of thinking.
THE GOOD GUYS
One takes a wild guess here that the shooter was male; and armed for specifically said occurrence when a “good guy with a gun” was needed. Domestic violence targets will attest to the benignity of such characters until they’re not.
BOYCOTT IN DEMOCRACY
When the public is disturbingly susceptible to Establishment sound-bite phrases and hierarchical pandering, we may forget to think for ourselves. Consider “free trade” and the curious insinuation by capitalists that they are the foundation of this system, and that it is good for you.—
VIRTUAL DEMOCRACY

COMMON PROSPERITY AND DEMOCRACY
While the USA is experiencing rising chaotic episodes that too often include violence, we could discuss whether a leveling of prosperity could short-circuit aggressive tendencies.
WHERE DOES CLIMATE CHANGE FIT IN?
Climate Change has not diminished or become less dangerous and deadly for humanity. So where’s the news coverage about a healthy environment and means by which to secure this fundamental right?
LAUNDRY NATION
Capitalism on a continuum feels too similar to organized crime. This raises ideas of money laundering. We could stand a discussion of the reason this is not the FACT.
US IN THE MIRROR
And by US, one means us, not USA.
What won’t money buy in the USA of material stuff, power, and influence. Not much. The same doesn’t apply to human rights or environmental rights, in which the opposite seems to be the FACT.
