(4,361 posts)We have one asshole senator that is sending out fliers about "Biden's Pill Penalty" but he is totally ignoring that the agencies that protect us are getting destroyed. He has worries about Medicare, Medicaid, SS, etc but he is worried that the pharmaceutical honchos would lose more money instead of worrying about the populace affording medicine.
What a shit show we are living in.

(33,632 posts)dissed by all sorts of things that mattered. There was a farm field I passed by that had a "Pumpkins matter" sign. Although I find it hard to put into words exactly why I still find that offensive...I did. All of them "White Lives Matter" "Police Lives Matter", it was done to belittle the very idea that Black Lives actually do matter. The statement that "All Lives Matter" should not be offensive when I read the words as they appear on the page. It's all that other crap in response to "Black Lives Matter" that still packs a punch for me.

(33,632 posts)so my opinion may be an outlier. But the way that reads to me has no derogatory inference. Instead, it suggests that not only do black lives not matter, but no lives matter except old rich ones.
