Lot of buzz about Freedom of Speech. Have you ever written a letter to the editor to your local newspaper. I did a couple of times and now you can in many places just post online. The interesting thing is they have rules, word count, topic and such. Even Twitter has rules. Some of them you would think are common sense, but no, they have actual written rules. I would bet if you went there and looked at the rules you would say they were pretty sensible. With that said I get a huge kick from folks who are on whatever platform they are on complaining how they or someone they know are being oppressed, that their speech or thoughts or whatever is being infringed upon. The society I live in has become entitled. We believe that whatever comes from us or some other like-minded soul should not be censored, unless they don't agree with you. My society believes that if your opinion doesn't line up with my opinion you are evil and deserving of being bullied and ridiculed. This society we share believes that there is only one right and I am standing on it. I even saw a sign that says vote a certain way because, We might have our faults but the other side is pure evil. Back to where I was going with this. These platforms have rules. The groups I belong to have rules, even those who say we don't have rules. I was banned from a group that had no rules because I was a moderate, didn't lose any sleep. I was not allowed to comment on another group because I would ask questions and post rebuttals to this former politicians stuff. Doesn't make a difference. As for my rules, I have only unfriended 1 person since I have been on any platform and that was because he said he was a racist and I got NO TIME FOR THAT. I may dislike someone for a lot of reasons, but the color of their skin AIN'T EVER GOING TO BE ONE OF THEM. Like I said rules, they have them, we have them. You don't like someone telling you what time to be at work, start your own business and wait for your customer to wonder what time you will show up to do the job they are going to pay you for. Don't like the rules on your social media platforms, start your own and make sure you tell everyone you got no rules.

The KBJ confirmation hearings prove even when a black candidate is far superior she still isn’t good enough for racist republicans.It's got to be a "strange feeling", to wake up in the morning and realize your job is to vehemently attack a person with extraordinary intelligence and integrity (far surpassing your own) with lies and distortion, just because your corporate masters tell you to.

“CharityWatch, a watchdog group, says that its top-rated nonprofits generally spend at least 75 percent of their budgets on programs. In this charity’s case, just 58 percent of its spending went to its cause.”Gosh darn RepooplicansExclusive | Beau Biden Foundation rakes in millions, spends fraction on kid programs

This is the best, factual based assessment of the infamous "Hunter's Laptop Legend", thus far. I doubt much of it will show up in the "Gaetz's version".

Saw an insurance agent say that high cost of insurance is due to fraud and litigation. Seems to me fraud is mostly provable and litigation would be reduced if they would pay legitimate claims instead of forcing the claim to legal proceedings.

He mentions Florida laws; which have evolved over the years to protect consumers, but the insurance guy acts as though they created a slush fund for lawyers.

In the 80’s I had an auto policy cancelled because they claimed I had too many claims which I couldn’t comprehend. Turns out it was for repairing a few chips in the windshield over the past year which they told me to have done so they wouldn’t need to pay for replacing the entire thing. I told them they were just a legalized mafia protection racket since I had the coverage just shouldn’t expect to ever use it.
About fourteen years ago I injured a co-worker down at the harbor with my truck. He filed a claim with my insurance and was told they wouldn’t honor it since I was using a personal vehicle for work. Of course he engaged an attorney and I showed them I did buy the truck for work, informed my agent how it would be used, and even received a business discount when purchasing. They eventually payed.
