@Florence Heck yes!
The US political arena is the original shitshow of politics.

@Florence Additionally I think it's good to laugh at ourselves, my father set that bar.

@TheBoostress @Florence Thanks we weren't trying to be negative. I don't like posting that stuff because it makes me feel like that Springsteen song "glory days".

@MidnightRider @Florence excellent! I'm glad I stuck with the thread instead of grumbling because I muted the words in the original tweet.

Thanks for rewarding me with positivity. You should share this story separately so people won't miss it if they muted the negative 1st part 💜👍🏾

@Florence Like I said not a doctor but my crowning achievement IMO was cutting the dose per image at a Children's hospital scoliosis clinic by 60%. Our company physicist and I were friends. He told me statistically I likely prevented a cancer in someone. AND that children is the story I'm telling St Peter gazing through parted finger when he shows me "the movie".

GET Outside

Ken-Dogger: Hey Bartholomew, what up?
Bart: Dude, I’m making my list.
KD: What list is that? Oh, A Christmas list.
B: You got it Bro…But I’m stumped
KD: Stumped? You’ve got your treats down, new leash down, new collar…what else?
B: How do I write ‘outside’ on my list.
KD: Outside?
B: Yes Dogger, it’s really not about the things we have, or the things we get, it’s really about the things we do with each other.
KD: This is how you spell it…O..U...T

@Florence That's brilliant to hear. My father-in-law has received excellent treatment on the NHS for both prostrate and bowel cancer, and was exitedly puttting up the Christmas lights yesterday x

@Florence I'm not a doctor (I wanted to be one) But I understand the elements that create the best " image in space" before receptor capture as well as one. And I worked on the early digital capture both DR and CR iterations. But I learned to treat customers properly from my dad at a gas station. And doctors were my customers.

@Florence You can't be in business and take a political side. Or be an idiot. The guy I replaced at U of M: "look at the breast shadows on that chest x-ray Doctor, now that's excellent soft tissue contrast". Yeah, that's my daughter. I loved replacing him because it was all blue sky after an idiot like that.

I have as a result of having (by-product of my ). The last few days I've had really bad angina which is unnerving. It's rare to get warnings with cardiomyopathy, so hopefully it's just random. It happens from time to time. I'm taking meds which have been upped to try to sort this out but it's very unnerving nonetheless.

Hmm.

@Florence If his synaptic function was greater, we still wouldn't know who he is and he'd still be printing money.

There was a point in my life when I'd never heard of or the My Pillow Guy.

I remember those days fondly.

@Florence @peter_by_the_sea It will never be right. Government for and by the people is a pillow sham, a myth.

@peter_by_the_sea @Florence You shouldn't be surprised, everything in the USA is $. I absolutely love the idea of muting both parties and limiting their airtime. Imagine what good could be done with the obvious multiple millions spent on advertising in GA alone. Then these same people get a microphone and say hey you citizens cost too much, this week we are cutting X.

@Florence There are campaign spending limits in each constituencey too, based on the population. UK politics are far from perfect, but I'm staggered at the amount of money required to run a campaign in the US.

In the UK, no political party is allowed to advertise on television. It is prohibited. Not even during an election cycle.

Instead, each party gets a Party Political Broadcast (PPB) which is 5 mins long, usually shown just before the evening news (allowing everyone to turn off!) Each party gets a specific number of PPBs.

America could really learn from this.
