   This is probably a big factor in why they support him,they can ignore environmental issues because “he who won’t be named” is destroying the controls on little by little.

   In the early 00s our subdivision was part of a group of 5 that stopped the development of a Walmart near Beltway 8 and West Road in Northwest Suburban Houston. There was already one less than 3 miles away but their supposed selling point was that this would be a 24 hour SUPER store. Set inbetween a small shopping center and a neighborhood facing an already too congested main artery with an elementary school and junior high school across the street. We stopped them by using environmental impact studies and other impact on the water and drainage in the area. Apparently they had not don’t these prior to asking for the land use to be changed and when the studies were presented to the land board Walmart was turned down . No super center for you!

   Heaven forbid either of them . You would hope that the Republican party gets some common sense but that might be wishful thinking.

   We also forget that FDR and Frances Perkins wanted to have universal health care but the bill of social programs that They posed was deemed unconstitutional . We barely kept Social Security. It wasn’t until 1965 that LBJ signed it into law the that amended the social security act with medicare/medicaid. Clinton tried to get the Health and Security act, that failed. Finally Obama managed to get the Affordable Care Act passed. The Republicans have been trying to kill it ever since claiming it was flawed but it is because of the consessions made to get a bare bones bill passed. Unlike medicare/medicaid not every state adopted all it provisions especially the enhanced medicaid portion. That leaves us with the mess we are in right now with the virus and hospitals bleeding money but still crammed with patients. Do you think that we might fix this when 21 Jan roles around ?

   Hey its the late 60s early 70s all over again! Too many engineers, turn out the lights for the last one leaving Seattle and all that. The only difference then was college was cheap compared to now but even then student loans were a pain in the ass to pay off if you got drafted . We knew my hubby’s loans took his entire 4 years to pay off.

   Just like Matt Groening, he has shown us a possible future while satirizing the (1993) present.

    Unless the waffle iron is as old as the hills, then you get that mess as a waffle. The cook is just disorganized !
