None. They hate the thought of getting older and having to use any type
of medical insurance but I've not heard one say they hate having Medicare.

IT turn out, when people don't have to worry about cost every time they
go to the doctor, they are happier. And healthier. and live longer and
better. And cost a lot less to keep healthy.
 
That's why the rest of the industrialized world is healthier, happier,
live longer, have lower infant mortality. And spend 1/2 as much as we do.
 
Ignore the never-ending lies about how they hate their "medicare for
all". Few of them would not immediately condemn any effort to convert to
our stupid expensive system. People in UK demonstrated immediately when
trump suggested that they should change to our system.

And how does banning the cheapest energy available help low income people
already suffering with income equality?
 
This nonsense is the backdoor antifracking movement.

First, define the problem. Then assess how much people are willing to
sacrifice to solve the problem.
 
It is clear to me that the underlying problem is that we have expanded
the world population too much to be sustainable at this level, much less
any constantly-increasing level above current. My plan is to cut the
number of children being born so the world population will shrink to a
level that is sustainable. Restrictions on the number of children a
couple can have was tried in China, and worked to some extent, but was
deemed socially unacceptable.
 
As for the specific issue of natural gas, banning its use is NOT a
solution at all! Replacing all that gas use with electricity means
electric production will have to be significantly increased. In the
near term, until wind & solar with adequate storage is practical on that
scale, additional electric production will be via burning natural gas.
A gas furnace in the home is 95-98% efficient. Producing electricity
from natural gas is AT BEST 50% efficient. So banning home use will
actually increase consumption!

Perhaps change the way the sun works. Altering the laws of physics
might also be helpful. Easiest, although less possible, would be
slapping some common sense into a lot of people.

Seattle is just as bad these days. The mayor proposed the same thing a
couple weeks ago...

Get globe wifi and have your connection hacked by their bullshit
modems/dns filtering. crap,crap,crap. I am getting wifi nearly for free.
I would NEVER pay Globe for internet. Try PLDT fiber MUCH better.

As I said before, the corporate structure run by bean counters has
destroyed the engineering quality. Ahhh, the wonders of capitalism!!

I thought a weighted blanket was something you wrapped your wife in
before you threw her in the lake.

The things that exist that I would never think of.
 
The last thing I want is a blanket that weighs more.
 
As weighted blankets exist, do weightless blankets exist? Or do I just crank
up the heat so I don't need a blanket?
