That's the country we live in. Most advance countries abandoned the for profit healthcare model decades ago. To even get a very basic, and defective, universal healthcare system in place here resulted in more right wingers in office and continuing attempts to dismantle the ACA. We don't have the votes to improve the situation, so rant on. Your rants aren't improving anything. <br /><br />To link modern ag biotech with a national failure to support basic medical care for all is ridiculous. Scientists are working in universities, small companies and big corporations throughout the world to improve production, improve nutrition, and deal with climate change. One simple effort is to improve water resistance in rice production so that farmers can flood their fields to kill pests, yet have the rice survive. Get out of the echo chamber and read up on what is going and what is possible - if people stop freaking over chemtrails, Helm15, and modern science.

How about Omindari and his EBay triple tax ( tax you on posting an item(s), taxes you when the person wins and pays for a bid, then taxes you for shipping (you can get rid of the shipping tax by just going through US postal). The drug and GMO companies are in bed with the insurance companies and the drug companies colluding to rise meds and copayments 10X or even more than a 100X its original cost. Why is that?

This is the NEW conspiring and colluding way to drive up the price so that I. The end the tax payers will suffer and foot the bill. The new health care insurance program has created monopolies and price fixing in insurance payments, copaymentts and the insane rise in cost of prescription pills.<br /><br />Ask your friends and families and they will tell you that insurance has gone up and a lot of their RX has gone up as well as insurances won't pay for maintenance meds.<br /><br />It's the biggest scam since the real estate and bank scams and also the Madoff scam.<br /><br />Everyone will suffer because the rise in cost is bad as over inflated price fixing of gas, oil, and housing on Kauai.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-63004479783291898522015-06-12T15:51:19.248-10:002015-06-12T15:51:19.248-10:00Eating too much organic wheat products will make y...Eating too much organic wheat products will make you fat too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-77870924763554052342015-06-12T11:44:25.191-10:002015-06-12T11:44:25.191-10:00Everything seems to be all about money.

They are trying to stop this with the anti-GMO movement. If they can stop the research they win, we pay more for our prescription and make them richer. What is 1% of even 4% of a 100 billion dollars. That is what they give to the anti-GMO groupies to maintain their profits. I would do the same thing too if I were them. I would scare the shit of the people to not eat any GMO related goods.

We have that same kind of picture here, when the vog settles down. Thankfully, we have the trade winds to blow them away, but we should be more concerned about nation-wide pollution and the use of fossil fuels. Of course you need manufacturing for the life style we expect, especially for the ever increasing population. That is why GMO foods are becoming a necessity to be able to feed everyone. Yes, they are not the most nutritious foods, but they are the most affordable. Will we be just a species that will evolve into being able to live in this polluted live style, or will we all try to live healthier and start caring for the environment. The planet is changing through global warming, volcanos are erupting all over the world, earth quakes are increasing, storms are stronger, climates are becoming harder to adjust to (too hot...too cold).
