CHANGES MADE TO THE GOVERNMENT FUNDING BILL DUE TO ELON MUSK'S DEMANDS

- Cut $190 million in research funding for children with cancer.

- Eliminated reforms to pharmaceutical benefit managers that would have cracked down on those who jack up drug prices.

- Cut down syndrome research funding.

- Cut funding for breast cancer early detection.

- Cut funding for treatment of sickle cell disease.

President-elect Musk (and vice president Trump) think that tax cuts for the rich are more important than children’s cancer research, preventative breast cancer research, and sickle cell treatments.

Here's how racism played a role in the U.S. being the only developed country without universal health care

"never seen a country so determined to hate a group of ppl for… existing?"

"Racism is the reason (insert nearly all social problems here)."

"Thus the reason they fight the Affordable Care Act otherwise known as Obamacare!"

"The same exact reason college isn't free"

"Choosing racism over your own peoples well being is wild behavior."

I was once asked if I had any ideas for a really scary reality TV show. I have one reality show that would really make your hair stand on end: ‘C-Students from Yale.’

George W. Bush has gathered around him upper-crust C-students who know no history or geography, plus not-so-closeted white supremacists, aka Christians, and plus, most frighteningly, psychopathic personalities, or PPs, the medical term for smart, personable people who have no consciences.

To say somebody is a PP is to make a perfectly respectable diagnosis, like saying he or she has appendicitis or athlete's foot...

PPs are presentable, they know full well the suffering their actions may cause others, but they do not care. They cannot care because they are nuts. They have a screw loose!...

So many of these heartless PPs now hold big jobs in our federal government, as though they were leaders instead of sick. They have taken charge of communications and the schools, so we might as well be Poland under occupation.

They might have felt that taking our country into an endless war was simply something decisive to do. What has allowed so many PPs to rise so high in corporations, and now in government, is that they are so decisive. They are going to do something every fuckin' day and they are not afraid. Unlike normal people, they are never filled with doubts, for the simple reasons that they don't give a fuck what happens next. Simply can't. Do this! Do that! Mobilize the reserves! Privatize the public schools! Attack Iraq! Cut health care! Tap everybody's telephone! Cut taxes on the rich! Build a trillion-dollar missile shield! Fuck habeas corpus and the Sierra Club and In These Times, and kiss my ass!

There is a tragic flaw in our precious Constitution, and I don't know what can be done to fix it. This is it: Only nut cases want to be president.

― Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country: A Memoir of Life in George W. Bush's America (2005)
