healthcare in america is the most glaringly obvious example of how utterly BAD capitalism is as an economic device.

the idea that something so important to the fabric of a community comes with a price tag... a fucking PROFIT margin.

Capitalism is not good, America is not good, Selfishness, Greed and Apathy are not good.

Every couple of days I vascialate wildly from satisfied to sick and fucking tired of it all.

Its like the karmic pendulum is swinging so quickly I can no longer make sense of which extreme it's cutting through. I'm just clinging to it and shutting my eyes but it keeps moving faster, faster... Its a ride I can't get off of, but unlike most tumultuous madcap experiences it will only end when I do... Meditation, practice... its said these lead to whatever I seem to need... but i've nearly stopped entirely. Two years ago my world started collapsing, then it got worse... now I'm supposedly through it, but i feel like i'm just lying in the shambles of it all. And its so thick, so fucking oppressive that even breathing takes work.

There are two posts here... not just one... and i suppose i'll likely delete one of them by morning... i hate the idea of all that hopelessness

So what's up? Are you having to deal immediately with the healthcare system or are you expressing a malaise with the shambles of healthcare in general? I'm with you completely on the latter.

I don't really know you at all but whether intended or not I derive a great amount of wisdom from your words. I'd hate to see you give up a path that lead you to such deep understanding that even one as ignorant as I could see.

Best of luck to you in whatever you do; you're good people.

By any definition, "Every man for himself!!!" is a pretty shitty philosophy.

We all hate that person in the movies, in books, and in street fights.

Yet we don't question it when it is enshrined as our highest national virtue.

Bastards.

...seems like these days there are tons of chances to get to the "whoa, guess this is just how it is" of it, and then just watch...weird times, but on the one hand, really good for having shit right in front of you, so that you cannot be mistaken that it's shit: that is very liberating...!

It's absurb, we have all this money to kill people in another country but none to deal with all the problems in this country. Even if you're conservative and/or Libertarian, a healthy populous is one that is more productive and more secure and more likely to spend money. We are so myopic in this country, but it's almost over for the US as an empire so...
