    Ask the unthinkable questions, and be prepared for unthinkable answers.

    But 's point applies to damn near every arena. Ask the unthinkable questions because this isn't business as usual. Far from it.

    *because my employer is able to cover my insurance. Want to hinder innovation? Making health insurance a zero-sum game is surely one.

    For many, it is life or death. There are also issues like quality of life: can I pursue my dream or am I stuck at a job I despise to survive

    If you have the chance, read through the tweets. This isn't about "Obamacare" in itself. It's about people's actual lives.

    FBI had both "Russians have blackmail info on Trump" and "There are irrelevant emails on Weiner's laptop." Guess what they publicized.

    It's sensory overload handling the Sessions hearings, bracing for Obama's farewell address, and finding out why Golden Showers is trending.

    This is one of the reasons the good ol' boy dynamics during the current hearing is so jarring & I'm not entirely sure folks get that.

    It's also why folks from other areas falsely assert regional moral superiority on racism. Civility wasn't really ever antithetical to racism

    That's why it's hard for those who grew up in other areas to see how deep seeded it is.

    Folks spend a lot of time calling the region below the Mason-Dixon line racist without addressing nuances of how racism operates there.

    Why dissecting "Southern hospitality" is important: Contrary to being diametrically opposed, racism & civility are inextricably linked.

    Being polite doesn't mean a person can't be racist. Laws legislated tact in public rather than morality in private.

    Please look at this thread when thinking about the alleged nostalgia inspired by "economic anxiety"

    Fun fact for the people who think a return to a Jim Crow economy is a good thing, poor white people were even poorer then. You starved.
