How hospitals protect high prices

How can we have a free market when consumers can't even control the market anymore?

We are no longer governed by people, we are governed by corporations, and have been for a very long time. Corporations govern our markets, and who gets to be employed, and who receives healthcare. If you do not belong to the corporate tribe, you are not a citizen.

Also, 3.4+ million chickens dead in flooding, like 1.4million of them at one facility. Lot's of poor people out of a job, have to go back and deal with that mess. They are going to get sick and die. It probably won't be reported on.

Very few people had flood insurance.

This is a once in a thousand year rain storm (LOL! hehehehe *maniacal laughter*)

Prayers and brainers again.

Yeah, we had one of those last year in Houston. And a 500 year storm, twice, the year before...me thinks their measuring system needs some tweaking. Sucks about the chickens, and I just hope the farmers had insurance or whatever corporate entity they were raising the chickens for had insurance on them. Anyway, shit's fucked and will be for the next year or more them. We're still not done with Harvey recovery.

We have a man child as president and the other party believes porn stars and women coming out of the woodwork to accuse a man, who has been a federal judge for years, of sexual assault when they were both in high school just as he’s nominated for SCOTUS

Time for Augustus

We do need a dictatorship at this point, nothing is getting done and too much bitching / complaining

also these millennial lazy kids need to be forced into working so they learn what hardship really is

That's an interesting article. I can't classify myself as a centrist. I think strong democratic institutions and wiggle room is important, a-long with a good heady mixture of checks and balances and decentralization of authority. But these are BIG words and not readily apparent, and doesn't mean it works one way in all cases (how good would a 50 state NATO / federation really be compared to our military industrial complex? actually this may be a bad example, because that idea already sounds kinda cool).

I think too many people are disinterested in the truth, and unable, and unwilling to spend the time researching the truth, and the biggest failing of our institutions is that we the people no longer hold our politicians accountable for their actions, words, lies, and the groups they work for an associate with, and utilize to gain money, spread, and cement, group think.
