Pray, pray, PRAY for his family.

@theodoricchew This is a thread worth saving, thank you!

NEW: South Park rips the American healthcare system for being incredibly complicated and inefficient.

Pure gold.

The South Park boys were trying to get medical help for Cartman.

When they told their insurance provider that they were trying to file a claim for medication, the boys were sent through an extremely complicated process.

South Park never misses.

Here is a wonderful little story

A young cashier told an older woman that she should bring her grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment.

The woman apologized, "We didn't have this green thing back in my day."

The young clerk said, "Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations."

She gave him a firm stare and a hard grin and said “Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles, and beer bottles. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over. They were recycled.
Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags, which we reused for numerous things. We walked upstairs because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.

Back then, we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throwaway kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -- wind and solar power did dry our clothes back in our day. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.

Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. The TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief, not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us.

When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded-up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.

Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.

We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades with a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.

Back then, people took a bus and kids rode their bikes instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles in space to find the nearest burger joint.

But the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the green thing.”

The cashier stood there still and quiet as the old lady found her wallet to pay. Then lady turned to leave but stepped back and turned toward the cashier. She said “You have a world of knowledge in that little device in your hand. Pity you just use it to gossip, take pictures, and waste time. It would do you good to search a bit of history before you embarrass yourself like this again.

Forward this to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart-ass young person.

Don’t think about having, think about becoming… a great speech.

[Ali A. Rizvi 🇨🇦 @aliamjadrizvi]

This is the problem with the media. The focus on a small handful of students walking out on Jerry Seinfeld’s speech has completely obscured any coverage of the actual speech, which is excellent, completely apolitical, and full of gems all young people need to hear.

Here it is in full.

In cultures of politeness, dissent is a threat to social harmony. People nod and smile even if they disagree, and silence fuels groupthink.

In cultures of integrity, dissent is a sign of commitment to quality. People voice their views, and respectful debate improves decisions.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When people bring you a problem, it's not always a sign that they blame you. It’s often a signal that they trust you.

Seeking support is an expression of vulnerability. It shows that they count on you to care and value your help.

It's a compliment to be chosen as a confidant.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Few arguments are resolved by landing on the same page. Most are reconciled by recognizing that reasonable people can hold different views.

The highest goal of disagreement is not to determine who's right. It's to maintain mutual respect and gain mutual understanding.

@VickiTreadell @womenoffuture @mercer @bhp @pinkylilani I loved reconnecting and sharing in this experience with you. Thank you for coming back every single year. Unwavering support is just want these ladies need.

“Put the business books away, lift your head up, do something…” I certainly agree that blended learning and remote working has moved away from valuing hard work and actual experience.

I talked to a super smart 20 year old this week.

All the potential in the world, but had a major major flaw in his thinking.

This flaw is becoming the most common mistake I am seeing young people make early in their career.

Let's break it down:

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

On major life decisions, the purpose of seeking advice is not to get answers. It’s to gain perspective.

No one knows what's best for you. They can only share what makes sense to them.

The most important question to ask is not what you should do. It's what you might be missing.
