@5:15 I have used my life's savings, including my 33 year 401k and my home to survive my 2018 cancer diagnosis...Oh, and my company's insurer is United Healthcare. I am just so thankful that this didn't happen while my now adult children were young and living at hime. Ot still boggles my mind at how quickly $1.8 million dollars can be eaten up with medical care. I was down to my last 48k and decided to stop all medical care, rent a beautiful top floor apartment and live as carefree as possible for 6-8 months ...and then, become permanently unburdened by it all. It was actually quite freeing knowing that i wouldn't be dealing with any of this in 6 or so months. I had picked the day and had ordered and received everything i needed for my Exit Bag.... And 5 weeks before my "Date", my okdest daughter and SIL phoned me on a video call. My daughter was pregnant with my first grandchild. That changed my entire outlook. I live in the richest country in the world. I did everything "right". I went to college and received a degree in Mathematics when i was 19yo. Was hired by an internationally kniw Fortune 100 company, put 4% into my 401k, bought my first of three homes at 21yo, raised two college-educated children, I've been to 52+ countries, both of my children spent 4 months travelling throughout Europe in the summers after each graduated high school..... And the lab work from 3 small biopsies changed my entire life. I had to liquidate everything I'd worked for to pay for treatment because even in the richest country in the history of the world, one diagnosis can obliterate everything you have... Now that im down to virtually nothing, I'm able to apply for Medicaid. and if that is denied, I'm hoping to hold on for another 4yrs 8months when im eligible for Medicare.
I heard these types of stories over the years, and I wrongly assumed it wouldn't happen to me because i had done everything the way i was "supposed" to do it. I also filed appeal after appeal with UHC . When your insurance company wont budge, there is very little recourse. I have seen SO MANY OTHERS IN MY SAME SITUATION. These insurance companies need to be HEAVILY regulated. BUT, a better alternative is to make healthcare a non-profit industry. It doesn't mean do tors, nurses and aupport ataff get paid any less. It just means there are no shareholders and CEOs receiving FAT checks from the ENORMOUS profits by literally killing their customers.

I'll give it to the Republicans on two things: They're getting more creative and they're persistent in their attempts to disenfranchise Black folks.
I had a feeling 15 or so years ago when we suddenly started seeing a 2nd entirely separate category after checking your race-- "Hispanic or Non-Hispanic Descent".
Maybe, going forward, White folks should start ticking the box indicating they are Black**. It may take another 8-9 years to have an impact (next census is 2030) but eventually it will have an impact. Imagine the shock when Republican legislators in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Kentucky corral, separate and gerrymander districts with a large majority of Black voters only to have those districts show up to vote the complete opposite of what the republicans are expecting. All of us have at least one Black and one White person in our ancestry.
It'd be even more effective if black folks indicated they were white on the race question, but they would be more likely to face some sort of backlash for making an error. However, white folks would be able to get away with saying oh I was in a rush and must have checked the wrong box accidentally. Maybe we should all just tick the box next to "Bi-Racial" (or the annoying/ridiculous "Other" box).

You know that actually helps to confirm that it's a police problem. Although it's usually white officers, this murder shows it's not just white officers -- it's an ENTIRE police force problem. While it's often white officers, it's almost 100% black victims.
Anyone who has learned about the Convict-Leasing programs, the reason for newly enacted vagrancy laws, and the reason why the subsequent, purposeful propaganda series put out by southern state and local governments at the beginning of US Reconstruction knows exactly why young black males were and still are stereotyped as being "thugs". It's why women clutch their purses on the sidewalk when a young black man is approaching them from the opposite direction; It's why white (and Hispanic) men put their arm lightly around their white women when a young black male is in their vicinity; It's why young black men crossing a street intersection suddenly hear the locking of car doors driven by White, Black, Asian, Latino and Middle Eastern folks. I'm sure young black men reading this know exactly what I'm talking about. ... Well, there's a reason these things happen and why so many of us, including many young black men, associate criminality with young black men. It should not be this way, and the direct reason it started and still exists today is 100% from the "Convict-Leasing" program that started at the very beginning of US Reconstruction by the Governor of Alabama at the urging of a ultra wealthy, owner of an Alabama coal mining company who needed a quick way to replace previously enslaved people to work in his mines to keep him ultra wealthy.

Yes, all of things we now have at our disposal, like e-mail and cell phones, were supposed to be convenient and time savers. All they've actually done is placed a demand that people be even more productive SND available 24/7. All of my family on both sides lives in European countries, except me, and NONE of them check-in with their office while on vacation. EVERYONE starts in entry-level positions with 3 to 5 weeks of annual vacation in every industry, including McDonald's employees. If an employee, esp a white collar employee, does not take their vacations, management frowns upon it. They consider it as something that negatively affects an individual's productivity and/or accuracy, depending on the industry. It's quite the opposite in the US.

@onamattapeeya It may sound like a good idea, but one of the reasons we passed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act of 1964 and 65 was to put an end to the Southern states's practices of administering a "Civics Exam" to voters, specifically minorities. White people would go to a Registrar to register and would be asked questions like, "Who's the current POTUS?" While Black people would be asked things like, "Can you name all 126 State judges?". These "exams" weren't standard issue and they were intentionally designed to stop minorities from voting. Remember the march across the Edmund Pettis' Bridge by MLK, John Lewis and other civil rights leaders? That was specifically how the protest began.
That said, I wouldn't be opposed to limiting voters to those who believe our elections are not fraudulent. Barring an unforseen circumstance, Trump will run in 2024, and regardless of how many votes he wins or loses by, landslide or not, his base is going to believe that he won. There's no possible way to combat that other than to publish a list of the names of each individual registered voter indicating if the voter participated or did not in voting in an election. Obviously, the talky counts would have to add up, but I'm sure election deniers would likely say there's no proof of who which candidate(s) was selected by a voter. We have laws that prohibit the govt from tracking or recording which candidate a voter selected and that is in place to stop votes being"for sale". That's one reason why you can't take a photo of your voting screen and/or printed ballot before putting putting it in a scanner.
Sorry, this is so long! But, I have one more thing. Lol If the current Individual State Legislature Doctrine case currently being heard by the SCOTUS over the constitutionality of Alabama's racially-based district maps (24% of the state's voters are black, but the districts are drawn so that only 1 in 7 of the districts has a black majority). IF the SC rules theap is constitutuonal, and it's likely they will, it's the start of an entirely new US. Each state will operate fully as its own country with almost no federal oversight. The federal government will regulate primarily the national defense and foreign diplomacy. It also means that because we have zero federal oversight on federal elections, states can continue to pass laws allowing the state legislatures to ignore the election results and the state's senators will choose which candidate will receive the state's electoral votes for the presidential election and other positions. There are at least 4 Justices that have spoken in favor of the individual state legislature theory and it's wholly supported by the Federalist Society. This is what people like Mitch McConnell, Leonard Leo, Peter Theill, etc have been working towards for decades. After the Citizens United ruling it was only a matter of time. This is the most pivotal case in the SC in over a century. The court is going to rule that AL's mapping is constitutional, but it's the reason they use that will determine the future of how our federal and state governments continue going forward. I suspect we'll be a bit like the EU, and our POTUS will be more of a figurehead.

@simplerick256 While I'm licensed in other states and am not familiar with laws specific to Tennessee, I can tell you the US Supreme Court has several rulings establishing that in order for one to receive a Resisting Arrest charge, there MUST be credible evidence of an arrestable offense* occuring prior to a defendant's resistive action(s).. SC rulings go so far as to point-blank state that if there is no articulable suspected crime attributed to an individual/subject, the subject cannot be resisting an arrest as there is no active lawful arrest taking place. The same SC Justices go on to say that a subject resisting a lawful detainment does NOT meet the threshold required for resisting arrest.
...and I'm sure you already know that excessive force by an officer is not lawful SIMPLY because a subject is running away/fleeing. In a nutshell, officers may ONLY use potentially lethal force on a subject IF that subject poses an IMMEDIATE, physical threat to another individual. This means that if there is a prison escape, an officer CANNOT shoot into the back of a dangerous convicted serial killer on death row who is a prison escapee.. The US Constitution provides ALL of with the right to a fair trial if accused of a crime. Guess what @Cuzz, even convicted, violent serial killers who appear to have escaped prison grounds have a Constitutional right to a fair trial. The Constitution ensures that no individual nor one group of individuals, including and especially the officers involved, is allowed to be both the accuser and the judge/jury.
@Cuzz and those who agree w/your point of view need to ask yourselves why the prospect of equality feels like oppression to you. Why does the idea of everyone being treated equally feel like a "loss" for you?
*an "unresolved arrestable offense" and if you need me to do so, I can explain what this means,, legally.

I think the one part of US history that has had the most impact on me personally, was learning about the actual history of US Reconstruction, especially Prisoner-Leasing and frivolous vagrancy laws. IMHO, this has had the most impact on our nation from social aspect. It is continuing to influence our society today in such a prominent way.
Edit:
Additionally, I think society would REALLY benefit if children in public high schools (or late middle) were required to have a class that focused on how to fact check, esp using the internet. It may sound simplistic, but based upon my adult interactions, including social media and comments, it's clear that many, if not most, of us cannot discern between a statement of fact and one of opinion. It's as though people jump straight to "That's False" just because they simply don't agree with a statement. Students can't just be told not to use Wikipedia as a source!

I don't know that all are, but what I do know is that years ago, the roommate I had, who was a piece officer, AND his officer friends that often visited him, thought they were basically invincible. My roommate liked to throw small parties and on countless occasions, I heard his him and his fellow officers literally joke about lying on the stand b/c, get this, they "were sure the defendant was guilty of *something.". I was a 2nd year law student at the time, and when I approached a handful of professors about this, I was basically told: "It's a fact that defense litigators have to try and work around." This was in the very early 90s, and even the introduction of body-cam requirements does not seem to have changed behaviors nor attitudes.

I will have to silently support your ideas because I work in a state's Office of Registration and Elections. However, I cannot stress enough how important it is for EVERY ELIGIBLE AMERICAN to register and to vote in November, and if your state has not yet completed the General Primary, please vote in that election, as well.
As a side note, from my work experiences, if just 79% of ALL registered voters (Rep, Dem, Indy, and Libtns) consistently went to the polls, one party would never again be in the WH or hold the majority in either chamber of the US Congress.
BTW, It is illegal in every state to campaign within 150 ft of a polling station, and your shirt's wording would not be allowed to be worn at a polling station. You would have to cover up the 2nd "T" word. The implication is the same and your shirt would be be "legal". :)
