Heh. Due to a condition, I've been injured (busted bones, torn tendons, etc) a jillion times. Scars everywhere. A former army ranger saw me in short sleeves and said "I see you've been through the wars, too. 'Embrace the suck.' You get it." I told him "I get 'embracing the suck,' but I NEVER got hurt putting my life on the line on behalf of someone else. You're up here and I'm down here," holding my right hand up high and my left down low. "I'm just a stick boy, who does stupid shit. Thanks for your service."
I figure if I were fit, I'd've tried for the 82nd airborne, 'cuz that's what Dad did. Anybody in my presence, who's served in combat, never has to buy a drink or a meal or go without a job and some dollars in his pocket. I don't think it makes him necessarily any smarter then me about anything, EXCEPT the combat, but he earned more than just his pay when the bullets were flying and the bombs were dropping, and I always try to do my bit to pay that back.
I'm what you'd call a fiscal conservative, civil libertarian, and half-ass-self-taught student of history. I ain't big on federal programs. But our VA hospitals should be the ones civilians WISH they could get into. After all the soldiers are taken care of, VA probably SHOULD be one of - if not THE - biggest charity comprehensive-health service, that does a LOT of good for those in need, when we're not busy gettin' our guys shot at. Not interested in many of the other gov't programs, but ya gotta take care of the guys ya put in harm's way.

3 minutes. You gotta jump to 2 minutes to get past the commercials. He sneaks 'em into the middle of his shows, now, too. I think he's good at what he does, but he's a semi-grifter, who'll show you the tippy-top of a graph a mile high, zoom in on a 2-inch drop, and shout "Stock Prices Imploding!" He really likes the word "implode" in his headlines.
Still, a person who's not up on the storylines can get up to speed on some of them from Dr. Steve. He exaggerates everything, but he is correct about the underlying socio-cultural trends that run in the exact opposite direction of the establishment elites. There is a sea change taking place in the collective consciousness, and the Great Reset taking place in the highest places are nothing in comparison. He calls it "nationalist populism," and to an extent that's true, but I think it goes a lot deeper than that. It's back to family first, then neighborhood, then town, and the top-down stuff, dictated by establishment elites, is fighting a desperate rearguard action, which can be seen by the ENDLESS doubling-down on more and more outrageous nonsense that leaves more and more of the population saying "WTF?"
Meanwhile, Yankee ingenuity is sweeping the planet. There are so many people in so many places around the world sharing ways of thinking and ways of doing things, that I think the people are changing faster than the legacy institutions who rule them. This has actually always been the case, or the Roman Empire would just be the world government. Or the Mongol Empire. Or the Chinese Empire. Or the British Empire. We just don't notice this, because all the history books talk about are the (increasingly) irrelevant actors at the top.
