Pls stop what you are doing and read this entire report on Israel's murder of journalist Anas al-Sharif and five colleagues in Gaza City. "He characterized Israel’s threats as 'Silence or Death,' and he vowed not to be silent." It ends with his final message. www.dropsitenews.com/p/anas-al-sh...

I try to refrain from using the world racism, but it just seems Trump is both a racist to the core and is playing this up all to his base and create divisiveness. America is hell now.

In parts of the "northern hemisphere", just to specific. And a 20-100 year timeline is helpful, as any year any area can have extremes. What is important is long-term trends.

The party in power may destroy Medicaid, ACA/Obamacare with this new bill. Make it harder for people to qualify, millions drop off, costs increase for smaller pool of people, more people drop off. Vicious cycle.

I feel its counterproductive to point to a single event as being caused by climate change. It's better to show trends of how the extremes in weather are increasing. Single data points are rarely convincing.

yeah, but changing the formula benefited the government to pay out less. there was a motive behind changing it from decades previous. Regardless, it's detrimental to people collecting Social Security.

88% of seniors don't pay federal taxes on their ss: total income is below the taxable thresholds standard deduction covers most of their income Many seniors have Social Security as their primary or only income source Only about 12% of seniors currently pay taxes on their Social Security benefits

It's a deduction. Either way, MOST people won't benefit from it due to the standard deduction. It will benefit wealthy people. Like the rest of the bill. Most people receive little on SS and they won't pay taxes anyway. Scam!
