Being one of the most incarcerated, sickest, overworked, dumbest, fattest, most full of sh*t nations in the world...

The old saying 'Money buys justice.. how much can you afford?' still holds true for justice in its many forms.

Now that the largest mid term election is over - what's next?

The only reason he's lasted is because the GOP/religious right kept him in. The GOP is out for as much as they can grab before their house of cards collapses. Once he's no longer useful, and their voting base starts to shrink, he's out like yesterday's garbage. Then they'll try to ride it out with Pence, counting on the notoriously short memories of the populace.
Alternately, he/they might go for an out n out power grab, but that's a dicey proposition. Whatever happens, Putin profits, since the USA has lost near all of its credibility on the international stage.. along with markets.

Happy Birthday, Help-QA.com!

WOW.. only a year! It seems much longer. Hopefully, with all the winter shut-ins, there will be a spike in traffic and possibly more word of mouth advertising.

they say drug addiction and alcoholism is a disease, i call bullshit.

Most of the addicts I've known have been suffering from some sort of psychological trauma/affliction and often self medicate to feel better (I count alcohol as a drug). Unfortunately, the drug often excacerbates or becomes the problem. I suppose that describing addiction as a 'disease' might be a poor choice, 'affliction' might be better. How it's dealt with, especially with the dearth of funding available mlght not be the most effective, but you work with what you're given.

Iโ€™ve been off my anxiety medicine for awhile now since I lost my health insurance a few months ago.

Sometimes it can be something unacknowledged in a person's day to day living situation that's causing anxiety. I'll give an example. A good friend of mine was prescribed and taking antidepressant and anti-anxiety medication. At that time he was living in the back of a jeep. He also consumed up to 12 beers a day. Ostensibly, he was 'happy' with his life, having lived this way (and in similar small vehicles) for more than a decade and was collecting disability related to psychological problems.
Well, this rocked on for a while until his jeep started having problems. By coincidence he had to file about 4 years of tax returns around that time. Looking through Craigslist I saw a small, old, and very funky RV for sale in a town about 100 miles away. I convinced him to have a look and to try somethi ng different for once. So, I drove him all the way there, he loved the damned thing, and he drove back in it. I convinced him to install a solar system and found a 12v Waeco cooler/freezer for it also.
Now, I think he's been in that rig for about 4 years, no longer takes antidepressants, cut his Valiums down to 1/3, and drinks less then 1/2the beer he used to.. and has managed to save some money. He's a LOT happier with his lot in life too and better able to deal with setbacks. All it took was to change a few things in his life, some seemingly minor like the cooler (allowed him to buy and keep fresh food instead of eating beans n stews out of a can, saving money at the same time), to basically turn his life around. He ain't 'cured' of his problems, but is far less crippled by them and, therefor, considerably more 'functional'.
Anyway, that's about it.. typing finger getting tired.

A forgotten flower blossoms in the day, no one saw it sparkle and die in decay.

If it bloomed beside the infamous downed tree then maybe it didn't.
