We have already taken care of two of our planned errands this morning--going to our local dairy and paying our rent. We have one more--taking the old cable box back to the cable company. We got the new one late Monday and installed it yesterday. They used to install such equipment for the customers but now installation is yet another bit of unpaid labor expected of the customer. Luckily it was very easy even for these two old ladies. And actually we are rather happy with the results: better reception, clearer picture and we can actually read the trailers.
Caitlin Johnstone has an interesting piece this morning: Even the Bald Eagle's Call Is Propaganda.
Heather Cox Richardson writes on the part of the Inflation Reduction Act which allows Medicare and Medicaid to negotiate with the drug companies on the price of drugs often prescribed for those covered by the programs. Note: NOT ONE REPUBLICAN VOTED FOR IT. They all stood by the drug companies and their profits. This is why I am still conflicted over how to cast a vote this election cycle. Or rather why I won't vote for a Republican but am very tepid on the Democrats. I still think they are two sides of the same big business/finance/military coin. But the Democrats are more likely to buck the paymasters. Question: do they do it often enough?
