Wow 6 of the 10 cities are either in Michigan or Ohio (or border them ... Penn. for example). Depressing. I live near Toledo and you get the sense this area is NEVER going to recover.
Exactly. His "last words" very likely could have been something along the lines of "I'll go with the Kung Pao chicken ... dinner portion ... from PF Chang's." (Last meal request before his execution).
Prayers up, indeed, and I can identify as well. Had a bone cyst and broke my femur twice before I was 14.
The first time was only hairline fracture, so 2 months in body cast only.
The second time (three years later) was a complete break ... 5 weeks in hospital with pin thru knee, then another 7 weeks in body cast. Then re-learning to walk again.
Tutor came to house so I could keep up with my studies. Really awful going to bathroom. Had to use bedpan the whole time. Embarrassing.
What about banning people who have Medicaid from eating fast food?
And no food stamps except for foods in the lean protein, high fiber, healthy fats, etc. categories.
Is that too drastic?
Because I’m telling you, it’s a vicious cycle.
If your job doesn’t provide decent health insurance and you aren’t buying decent insurance yourself, i.e., Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, etc., you ultimately, at some point, will be using taxpayer $$$$ to cover the medical bills which result from an anti-nutritious diet.
Why should taxpayers be stuck paying for self-inflicted heart disease, diabetes, etc.?
If a few dozen people were on Medicaid it wouldn’t be a big deal, but there’s 58 million people who rely on it — for life.
Hell, even NPR published a study recently which essentially said that “disability” is the new welfare.
There’s too many people in the cart and not enough people pushing the cart.
So-called Progressives should be called Oppressives cuz that’s what they are. Ironically, they are the one’s stuck in the past. Accuse others of what you’re doing. Blah, blah, blah....
