the litany of disease, like an evil incantation, and the brainwash beat that these commercials are . . .
will not be missed.
years ago part of the reason I stopped watching television was to not have to watch that.
my favorite example was for some 'happy pill' for anxiety, I think, that was being marketted towards 70 somethings. It showed these oldsters, who looked like drugged up concert goers, carrying kayacks on their backs towards a class 5 rapids as if taking that drug would make it all OK.
I don't think that anyone should kayack in water that fierce, it's a death wish.
"Young suspect detained for alleged assault on Rabbi of Orleans"

"Another source with knowledge of the case said the suspect arrested on Saturday night was known under at least three identities, one Moroccan and two Palestinian."
three identities.
perhaps the count of illegal aliens is divisible by the number of identities that they keep.
if they didn't tax the system so severely people wouldn't be so hot on having them removed.
I've said for a long time that the numbers may be skewed because the invaders could cross back and forth, collecting a new identity each time.
In this case this person is said to have 3 identities. I wonder if he collects three times the benifits in French welfare?
any one who got huge amounts of free COVID money should not be rewarded again.
the 'always with their hands out' people who have businesses only for the purposes of collecting free money from the government and provide no actual goods or services, or just fake ones, should be excluded.
how much of too much is enough for those people?
some people live minimalist lives, pay off all their debt ahead of schedule, and don't take fancy vacations, don't need a ginormous trophy mansion, and do not end up 'over their head' in their fifties and sixties.
if you give a spend thrift a hand out to become solvent, they will, having a spend-it-if-you-got-it compulsion, go and spend it all, and go back into debt.
if someone is in debt and you help them out that's fine if it's your money.
but don't expect others, who live minimalist thrifty life styles, to have to pay for the ones who try to 'keep up with the Jones'.
some people can never learn to not spend more than they can afford.
so help them with your money and stop asking everyone else to help them too.
