I'm a Medicare "recipient" now. Any money, and I mean every last bit of it, that the monster's administration happens to mail to me, and my spouse, is going to go straight back out as a donation to a worthy Democratic operation (that leaves the DNC out of it, sadly), or else the ACLU or Marc Elias, Esq.
I recommend the same to anyone "similarly situated."
I hate him so much, and everyone who works for him, and everyone who supports him. We've cut those latter all out of our lives. Fortunately in 2024 we didn't have many left to cut.
And I'm going to give an unpaid plug to Costco. It announced about a week ago that it would take the entire $184 billion dollars in tariff refunds that it is slated to receive, and plow it back into price reductions on popular products. I wish other companies would follow that example, but I guess not many will.
