When President Trump proposed a barrier along the southern border with Mexico, a Tohono O’odham elder famously declared that the tribe did not understand the concept, having no word for “wall” in their native language.

Sorry, I feel bad what happened to your people, but you lost. Yes the “great white father lied”; but he’s lied to us “white folk” too. Reference social security . Unfortunately “might makes right”.
“Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers
The issue us settled. Sad as it is, it’s over.

Nonprofit hospitals pay virtually no local, state or federal income tax. In return, they provide community benefits, including charity care to low-income patients. In Memphis, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare has brought 8,300 lawsuits for unpaid medical bills in just five years.

There should be no such thing as a “non-profit”. Profits are the “traffic signals” of the “invisible hand” of a truly free market.
NO MARGIN = NO MISSION.

Anyone else find that they can “predict” the future, but are powerless to change it.
I call it the “Delphic Oracle” problem.
*** begin quote ***
The Delphic Oracle was the most influential religious site in the ancient Greek world. Speaking from a tripod in a crypt under the temple of Apollo at Delphi, the priestess called the Pythia acted as a medium for the god, and spoke the divine prophecies while in a state of trance or possession.
*** end quote ***
When people ask the Oracle a question, they got a cryptic answer and the heard what the wanted.
Sometimes when people pose a “problem” to me, I give them my best answer. And then they go off and do what they want.
Often, I can foresee the consequences of choices — no great skill to “foresee” a disaster from an “obviously” bad choice — but it’s frustrating that you can’t prevent the disaster.
Argh!
Maybe the solution is to just stop “advising” or “predicting” and just say “no opinion” or some other weasel words or platitudes.
Argh!
“Hmmm, that’s an interesting question, or situation, what do you think is the best course of action?”

Right to Choose Communications Services Provider” ordinance (also known as Article 52) that hinders a payola scheme cooked up between big cable companies like Comcast and landlords. In just a few short years since its enactment, a great number of apartments in San Francisco have at least four options for broadband service, including affordable gigabit fiber service. Fearing that other cities would follow suit, a whole range of associations and corporations that represent landlords and the cable industry pushed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) hard to block these local efforts. For a federal agency tasked with promoting competition, it shouldn’t be a close call to simply ignore these groups. But that is not what the FCC plans to do next month.

“Regulatory capture”.
The FCC should be abolished. Along with all the other unconstitutional parts of the “regulatory deep state”.
Argh!
If the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah was serious about states rights, then CAL-EXIT would be done by know.

More evidence that the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.
Why do we have Gooferment Skrules at ANY level?

According to her professional profile, Gennai works on “responsible innovation” in the Global Affairs division of Google — the same division run by Kent Walker, the Google VP who has declared his intention to make the populist-nationalist movement represented by Donald Trump a “blip” or “hiccup” in history, which he said “bends towards progress.”
Walker made these statements just days after the 2016 election, in a confidential video recording that was leaked to Breitbart News.

What happened to “do no wrong”?
If they are going to “edit” the content, then they are responsible for ALL the content. Time for the Gooferment, as the fair and impartial referee, to smack them with a fine that will get their attention and get them to change their “evil” ways.
Argh!
