A Shorties Place

Hello everyone, and sorry for the delay in posting.

Good news: Hospital acquired infections are down.

Not so good news: things are not so great economically for the class of 2018.

Don’t ask questions you don’t want answered: Turns out people think a living wage is a good idea. I find a good argument to be “if you like eating a fast food lunch, somebody has to prepare it. And students should be in school, so it needs to be an adult.”

On Democrats: Ok, I get it. Not all candidates are viable. But the party can’t keep running corporate-owned candidates under a mantle of “be reasonable! Who else are you gonna vote for?” Gee I don’t know, Republicans? Maybe somebody who actually has the appearance of caring for voters? Maybe we could have something like a “primary” to determine who “viable” candidates are? I hate when an election boils down to “which one do I hate least”.

We could really use Fred Rogers: Seriously. I think I’d even vote for him. Oh but who am I kidding, I’d vote for Teddy Roosevelt if he were alive.

On Child Marriages: Thought they only happened overseas? Wrong.  But oddly enough they only seem to happen to girls….

Mandatory Insurance is not Universal Health Care: Nurses think Democrats could get a few votes out of the idea of true single-payer universal health insurance. But no, that idea has had no political traction since the administration of  Richard M. Nixon. Insert sarcasm here about leftists and socialists.

And last: Fun with Naval Tats.
