Our public transportation should be free to ride. Those who need it, need this the most. Feel good stories arenβt going to help. Make it free. Big business needs to give back in a meaningful way.
Since we lack credible, practicing physicians in positions of federal health leadership, Iβll say the obvious:
Avoid an intense cardio workout from the interior of a Sauna.
Consider instead a well ventilated, air conditioned room.
@JeromeAdamsMD He needs to step out of the way. Thereβs no precedent for needing a physician consultation for a vaccination. Just another tactic to block care . Not to mention weβre being overrun by non-physicians in healthcare, which is a completely different problem! π
@inc_uni delivery at the wrong door of my condo. All other delivery services can do this properly, but somehow your service never can. On top of that - the photo from the driver included a dick pic - disgusting!!!!
@realDonaldTrump Yes, and changing the FERS retirement rules for the people who are already 90% on the way to their retirement, which is completely unfair, not to mention making new hires at will or contributing 10% to be not at Will employees. π€―π€―
I listened yesterday to the Joe Rogan episode with that Cooper guy, and right away, I knew what I had to do.
I got in my car and drove straight to my 98-year-old grandmotherβs house. You know, my grandmotherβthe one who lost her first husband, her little children, her parents, and every single one of her siblings in the Holocaust. The one who somehow crawled out of hell, rebuilt a life from nothing, and still wakes up at night with memories she canβt bring herself to talk about.
I had to go to her because, for nearly a century, sheβs been living a lie. Sheβs been telling us these horrific, gruesome, gut-wrenching storiesβabout the Germans, painting them as if they were monsters, as if they were actually villains. But I just listened to someone who really knows his shit, and he made it crystal clear: weβve all misunderstood them.
So, I sat her down. I took a deep breath, looked her in the eyesβthose same eyes that have seen things I canβt even begin to comprehendβand I told her the truth.
βGrandma, enough. Enough with the fake grieving. Enough with the lies. For almost a hundred years, youβve been poisoning peopleβs minds with your one-sided, manipulative sob story. But I just listened to an expertβa guy on a podcast, which, as we all know, is the highest form of truth and realityβand he set the record straight.
βHitler and his people werenβt what you think they were. They werenβt cold-blooded murderers, genocidal maniacs, or ruthless butchers. No, Grandma, they were complicated. They had reasons. They had perspectives that, shockingly, you and your family never bothered to consider. Did you ever stop, in between watching your children being ripped from your arms, to ask yourself what they were going through? Did you ever think, while you were starving in Auschwitz, that maybe, just maybe, they felt misunderstood?
βI mean, sure, they rounded you up, packed you into trains like cattle, and sent you to a place designed to erase you from existenceβbut did you ever take a moment to see things from their point of view? Maybe they were under a lot of stress. Maybe they had economic struggles. Maybe they just needed you to pause for a second and acknowledge their pain. Thatβs all they asked for, Grandma. A little empathy. A little open-mindedness. And really, was that so much to give?β
After I finished, my grandmotherβlike a typical Jew, and like every Holocaust survivor who just wonβt let things goβreacted with horror and anger. But I stopped her right there. I reminded her that, these days, canceling and shutting down uncomfortable ideas only makes it seem like there is some kind of Jewish supremacy. And I wasnβt about to let her cancel me, so I left...
