@snoopydawg @snoopydawg @snoopydawg I want to smack the computer screen when I hear some pundit talk about how lazy American workers are, how they don't think the middle class Dems quite understood the implications of Obama's view of his politics. He thought of himself as resembling Reagan than past Democrat Presidents.
Well, that is an apt description of today's Dem party. I want to throw something at the computer screen when I hear tropes about how poor people are lazy. How they demand high wages and get upset because an immigrant will take the job at low wages. A corporation can't be blamed for holding their margin of profit based upon labor costs, which is proof poor people are stupid and have nobody to blame but themselves! Let the illegals in! They came here to work. (What's a few Cartel gangs in the neighborhood such a big damn deal, stupid!) Even Democrats are open to eliminating or greatly diminishing food stamps and Medicaid.
I do not expect to have Medicare or Social Security much longer, either. The Uniparty's wet dream.

Democratic pundits berated Bernie's coalition as "Bernie Bros" and also told people they were ingrates for not better appreciating the economy.

Now they're fusing those 2 threads together, asserting that Bernie supporters are mentally ill & lazy & *choosing* to be poor. pic.twitter.com/6vpKWFOMIE

Yeah that ought to work.

True

We got the memo! The Dems want to be a minority party of rich scumbags, zionists, war mongers, finance capital and paid political consultants working for billionaire donors. They hate workers, uppity blacks, poor people, rural people... we got it!

We hate them too.

@usefewersyllables My late husband lasted about 2 minutes in the chamber at a hospital. He was screaming and banging the was with his fists.
Starry eys is a good stort! Prove the reluctant dr. wrong! Make him/her a better dr.!

I’m commenting from inside a hyperbaric chamber, during my ride. It’s not a real chamber like I’ve been in before- I wouldn’t have been able to bring my phone, and there’s no way signal would make it out through the steel hull.

This chamber is a light duty double layer neoprene bag, big enough for a comfy chair and yours truly. The bag has a double-seal zipper, not a hatch… They are diving me to only ~40 feet of sea water equivalent, or basically 2 atm absolute- but the higher pressure forces more O2 into the blood. I’m breathing air enriched to 35% O2, not pure O2 like in a real chamber, but it certainly can’t hurt.

At 1.5 atm on the descent, i’m already seeing some stars in the blind area, so it would appear that it might be helping a bit- maybe it isn’t too late to help fix the damage.

If it continues to improve, I’ll go find a place that will pop me into a real tank and do a real Navy Treatment Table 6 dive, which I‘ve had before. That is to 60m (192fsw/7atm) switching between chamber air and pure O2 via mask, with the occasional seizure from O2 toxicity (self correcting, since you can’t help but automatically drop the mask). (;-)

Now, that is a real chamber ride, Still, this ain’t too shabby for retail medicine in a landlocked state! More after they surface me. Gonna take a nap.
