Consider the individual's risk profile (such as age, obesity, etc.) and consider the risks of the medical treatment. All medical treatments have side effects and risks. For a typical child, there is no benefit to a yearly Covid shot, t

They are powerful in part because there are so few of them that the lobbyists can bear hug them. Let the House of Reps again grow with population and there would be too many Reps for lobbyists to control so each individual Rep would have le

I didn't know it at the time, but I was in the same situation for years. I started doing blue collar work at mine sites and oil/gas pads. For me, it's a good fit. And the people are real.

Yep, the smelters for making engine blocks are in Mexico to pollute over there.

Would be a good discussion if the Feds should sell say 1/2 of the federal owned western lands so States can manage it.

humanity can't crush a bunch of cubic km of rock and spread over vast areas of land in a non-polluting way. It won't be carbon negative after drilling, blasting, digging, crushing, transporting, and spreading it around. If you can

Princess Diamond taught the world early into it that some people didn't get sick, even when locked in room with spouse who was sick. There was some natural immunity.

The money is fungible, so in my observation the owners pocketed it from a different part of the ledgers at the end of the year.

You earlier brought up gerrymandering, electoral college, protests and your "white shields". Now you avoid the solution to the present day lack of representation, a solution which would make gerrymandering and lobbyists irrelevant

by landemva 4y ago
As it is now, the lobbyists and special interests have control. 30,000 sounds like real representation, would make gerrymandering pointless, and the lobbyists would find it difficult to control even 1/5 of the 30,000. I support this bi

Do you think it would be good to follow the Constitution and have the House grow with population?

And the PIT airport is under construction with passenger areas being replaced with removal of the mini-train. I hope they didn't pay for this green washing demonstration.

The Constitution had the House grow with increase in population. Congress stopped that growth so now lobbyists have the access. Two Senators per State worked ok when appointed by State because Senators would get recalled and replaced if the

Except when FBI does a sham interview to protect an insider. Then no oath to tell truth and no notes. Makes for an easy white-wash of serious crimes. https://thehill.com/homenews/286849-fbi-didnt-record-clinton...

As far as "productivity metric" and GDP, the military industrial complex in USA has wasted tons of debt money the past couple decades. Half the defense budget, and all of the 2008 bankster bailout, and the 2020 cruise line bailout
