A beautiful soul. Charlie was a young person who gave me hope for the future. I thought that maybe he could return higher ed to meritocratic institutions of open debate where ideas are judged on their merits. I dont know how I can send my kids to these places in good conscience knowing that they are fostering the ideologies that have led to much of the political violence in the world today. My grandfather was the president and chancellor at several universities in the 80s and 90s. Fraught times with no shortage of political turmoil... but nothing close to this. We are in dark times.
Im fearful of the world we have created. I fear the turmoil my children will face in their lives as a result of our actions. We need hope and goodness to prevail. We need love to prevail or else be drowned in the darkness that pervades modern society. God save us all.
I pay $30,780.00 a year for health insurance, with a max out of pocket of $18,500.00 (not including copays at the counter), for the missus and I, so you'll have to excuse me if I seem unmoved that you're losing your free healthcare, that somehow I also pay for.
Yeah, isn't it funny that capitalism works so amazingly well in so many areas, but in one of the few areas the government micromanages, the whole system goes haywire and costs explode. Must be coincidence, I guess.

@dailystoic@chrislhayes Hilarious. Next you should have Dr. Fouci on to discuss how the medical system is about aiming for a set of “ideals” that he and his colleagues are just trying to “live up to”.
