Thread: So, where do we go from here?

Okay I'm game! First thing we have to do is agree that a man was elected and that isn't going to change. He has certain promises he made to get elected it looks pretty much like he is dead set on following through with all of them as best he can. He has hired some people that make others nervous but they may very well be good choices to get done what he wants to do. He has changed politics already and is working on the media. He makes some statements/tweets that a lot of people don't think are appropriate. But that's who he is and we are all going to have to deal with it. At least he doesn't use the F bomb even though it wouldn't surprise me if he did someday.

Wanna pick a few things that are going to change or should we stick to one thing at a time LOL. The Affordable Care Act. Lets face it, the company that wrote most of it for the people initiating the package they all votes on announced over a year ago they were pulling out. The loses are to great and it is not sustainable. A couple of other major insurance companies stated the same thing. The time line I remember for United Health Care was mid 2017. As the new president said in his press conference, he could let it implode but who would get hurt most by that ? Not big pharma or the insurance companies. So is he wise to jump on this first thing ? If you take the view they are just trying to kill it because Obama did it I think that would be shallow at best. I heard Donald say there are good things in it and he wants to keep those. I think we all know what those things are but what say you ? Besides pre existing conditions and parents keeping their children on policies what else is good about it. Cheap is good but they have to do something about the co pay. That is not cheap in many cases and that makes it all worthless.
Social Security. Hmmmm isn't that an insurance ? Why do so many people get it that don't really need it ? I mean if your bringing in 6 or 8 k a month in retirement or from stock portfolio why on earth do you need 1900 bucks more in insurance payments from the government?
Ill stop here to see how this goes and I hope this is what your thinking Spendur :<0)

And REZ the fight of resources vs environment is a world problem for sure. My question to that is why aren't new technologies leading the way here. Solar is great but they have no backbone or ways to store it on a large enough scale to supply everyone? So what , get rid of the big profit companies doing that and put it at the homeowner level. We will still need power at night and in bad weather but it would sure be a lot less if every household did a better job of supplying it's own electricity during the times they could. Cuts way down on the infrastructure and would create jobs in a new sector. If I owned a major electric utility I would be making and installing panels just to stay alive in the future.
