Regarding Mangione's back meds, I am 100% disabled due to injuries to my back that I suffered in the 90s. I have not suffered a reduction in effect from the medications, and in fact take a lower dose now than I have in the past. However, I have worked construction since I was injured, and over time the damage to my spine has worsened. This is likely to happen to other folks as well over time, and may be why they report their need for pain meds increases over time.

Mangione is right about violence. Violence is able to solve any problem. However, violence always begets new problems, and this is often not worth the cost of fixing the original problem. For many corporations, violence is the only solution they countenance, because they make weapons for profit. Nonviolent solutions to problems are an existential threat to them.

Perhaps the German woman accosted by the aged migrant should have performed this:

No No Square Dance

Dr. Seuss is banned? Man. I was raised on Dr. Seuss. My kids loved Dr. Seuss.

It is not actually impossible for people to post on social media from prison. People smuggle cell phones into institutions in their capacious anuses every day. Prison work crews are comprised of the inmates with the most anal capacity, because they are needed to smuggle all the drugs and phones the market requires. I think the test to get on a work crew (the guys that pick up garbage along highways) is whether they can take 12 cans of chew.

I learned to draw instead.

Thanks!
