Postponing fiction doesn’t hide the nonfiction disaster: America’s largest healthcare robbery in progress.

→ SCIENCE Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.
→ Freedom comes from what taxes protect:
– Study without lifelong debt.
– Change jobs without losing health care.
– Have children with no medical bills.
– Get sick without going broke.
Freedom is not the absence of taxes.
Freedom is the absence of fear.
Follow for more glimpses into life in a social democracy, where dignity is not a privilege.
