BTW -- the Medicaid thing would have happened, if not for an outcry:
From Sen. Ron Wyden - <snip>Chutzpah, he said, was behind his staff’s decision to gather and publicize the intel that 50 states were essentially having their Medicaid portals blocked due to the president’s spending freeze, and within a few hours, “we were on our way to being able to push back successfully and get it thrown out.” He calls it an example, “admittedly a modest one,” of traditional politics acting as a check on the executive.
I really hope the practical wing of the Republican Party will manage to keep some of this crazy in check. Complete chaos is not good for anyone. Except Petyr Baelish in Game of Thrones
Loved the piece in the link -- so much in there...
Not a feminist 'cause you shave your legs... well once upon a time (& maybe still today) some women felt that shaving their legs was done for men...
Not knowing what a vegetarian is -- amazing how we have such different cultures in this county. But I remember wondering how people could live just on fruits & vegetables; it didn't make sense. I've learned a 'few' things since then, & now am semi-veg.
You really need to get out into nature more (so do I, but at least I live in suburbia & I have a park out my window to look at -- actually it's a judenrein golf course (it's next door neighbor on the other side is a synagogue...). Two yrs ago I went away for Passover to a retreat center that's also an organic farm. I arrived and time stopped. The holiday was wonderful, and being in nature was amazing. I'm going back there this year.
Thank you. The event took place in 1996 and I’ve spent a lot more time in nature since including two years living on a Christmas tree farm. I would love to move to a suburb on the river trail we have here. I used to walk it every day. The city is depressing and dangerous now. Glad you liked the piece.
