Health 'Insurance': We're on our own.

Last night I with my local volunteer fire department did fire duty at the county fair. The only 'incident' that occurred was bandaiding a young man who came to our tent with a scrape. We also cut the rear silencer off our aging pumper to reweld, as the imported replacement is too difficult to get and too expensive for our tiny budget. We know that we're on our own; there's no government that can help us be a proper fire department. It is a generally accepted thing.

Not as generally accepted as with health care, which everyone needs (some more than others, but it averages out) as much as a fire department, maybe more. The political nonsense that's going on serves to distract from the overall collapse, let people think they are not on their own with regard to health care. This whole debate that we're having is a distraction, whilst the O-Team loot what's left of the country, borrow trillions from the Chinese and Saudis, consolidate control, and attempt an even greater imperial overreach than happened in the Bush years. I repeat, we're on our own.


(As if there's any we. Here in Vermont, I'm one of many successionists who have known this for a long time. You will have to decide for yourself, if you happen to live in the lower 47, whether to continue waving the imperial flag as hospital bills eat you out of house and home.)

We, hmmph. Sounds like a religion. Distractions seem to be religious in nature. George Orwell wrote, throw"...your mind open ... letting the ready-made phrases come crowding in. They will construct your sentences for you, even think your thoughts for you... at need they will perform the important service of partially concealing your meaning even from yourself."

It took a bit longer than Orwell thought, but I believe that we are there.
