if after a long day helping a friend move house, they hand you a fiver, you could end up feeling undervalued and less likely to help again. A hug and kind words however might spark a warm glow and make you feel appreciated

I stopped by this old school Dutch candy store with all the candy in little jars. You know this place iasgoing to be lit because they dont even have a cash register. She must have been born prior to the 1900s cause she is literally right ninging me up on a chalk board. This is like a step away from ancient Greek wax tablets.

"Is Google Making Us Stupid?

What the Internet is doing to our brains"

An important read. Take your time, turn off distractions - and work thru it. Worth it! RG

"I can feel it, too. Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn’t going—so far as I can tell—but it’s changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading. Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I’d spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That’s rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do. I feel as if I’m always dragging my wayward brain back to the text. The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle."

This is what happened when people in the U.K. were asked how much health care costs in the U.S.

Remember that our outrageous for-profit system is not the norm in other countries.

We can and we must do better.

We need Medicare for All now.
