So, this one gentleman talking about this, he's making an issue between Democrat and Republican and I don't think it should be looked at that way at all. It should be, this is America, we are people and we need to take care of our own. You know, it's part of, believe it or not, it should be part of Trump's slogan, you know, America first, we're number one, we're going to take care of our own, but that doesn't seem to be happening. But the part that really kind of aggravated me was the suck it up buttercup statement. What does that mean, really? You know, one more reason, I promise I'm almost done. Basically it's just a dismissive insult, it's not an argument. You're basically saying, your problem doesn't matter to me, deal with it on your own. Suck it up, stop complaining. Buttercup, it's condescending in a way to imply that you're weak, you're soft, you think you're entitled or you're childish, you know. And I don't think that's the case here. I think it's pretty tough to see your child die because you couldn't get him or her the medical care. That's, you know, that's, I mean, they just don't have, the people that take this way, you know, they don't care about human impact. They reject collective responsibility. They're very tribal. My side of it is their side. It shuts down empathy on purpose, you know, that phrase. You know, they're just too bad, so sad, I don't care, and you just keep on whining. Because that's what they think you're doing, you're just whining. You're not caring about people, you're just whining. And another thing that really gets me the most about that statement is it reframes everything to your harm is deserved. You don't, you didn't get a good enough job, you don't have the resources that you need, so you just, you know, you just didn't work hard enough in America, so therefore you don't deserve this. Just die, you know. I don't understand that mentality. I'm not picking on that gentleman, but that statement just drives me nuts when I hear people say that. Because they don't live on that other side. They're not, one more time, sorry, they don't live, they might be lucky, they might be able to do what they need to do and have their health insurance and they live a great life. The opposite could happen to you in a heartbeat. I've seen it happen a thousand times over. And then you're on, you know, your shoe's on the other foot. And you know, so you've got to consider that always that just because you have it doesn't mean you might not lose it down the road. So this might become your problem too. Anyhow, great, I think I'm going to call it quits for the day. I'm going to take my wife out for breakfast probably. You all have a wonderful day and take care and we'll talk again later on, okay?
