The ER might not let you die but fuck you if you need some sort of medication you can't afford.

WTF is wrong with this stupid broken ass country. Hey lets force woman to have a baby but not provide medical care or anything for the mother and kid after its born. How have we allowed life saving medical care to be for profit? How the fuck have "We the people" not burned this shit to the ground yet?

That's not the correct question. The question should be "How many times can a rich white man with a lot of political capital be convicted?" Unfortunately, I am scared that the answer is not as much as he should be.

That's like me giving them a penny, possibly even less than that. Don't forget kids: the only good billionaire is a dead billionaire.

What foods would be best to give to someone living on the streets in a very hot/humid country?
Not sure if this is possible or practical for that situation but peanut butter is a good source of protein and calories. It also does not need refrigerated. There is the issue of allergies though.

Ha, not just that shit. They have made it illegal to even help the homeless half the time. I got yelled at by a cop because I was giving a bunch of people in a homeless camp some food that I had dumpster dived (dove?). They want to make it so we can't even help people when we have the ability to.
That's another part of the problem too if you think about it. There are so many problems it feels impossible to address them all. Homelessness, Health care, the criminal "justice" system, income inequality, racism and all that other shit. We, myself included, try to address the individual problem and forget that its all the same problem.

Are there previous historical examples of cult-like followings of US political candidates?

I think it also shows that some one who is a "good leader" can also do corrupt things for personal gain. We expect our politicians to be better people than a lot of us are (and we should) but are often surprised when they don't live up to what we think they should be.
I would look at some one like Baltimore City mayor Sheila Dixon. She was actually a pretty good mayor especially when comparing her to some that came after her. But she stole gift cards from the city that were ment for low income families.
It's probably a slippery slope. Like why shouldn't I benefit some from all this good I'm doing. In the case of Long it probably had something to do with him needing the money to help get reelected to continue to help people. Again I'm not saying any of this is ok, just that it is pretty complex to figure out why people do stuff and that it's pretty human to do both good things and be greedy and self serving.

I want to believe that is true but I will not hold my breath. I don't think any of our rulers want us to realize that they to can be held accountable for crimes.

That and I am convinced that they keep most people just comfortable and distracted enough so that they think they have just a little more than they are willing to lose. You know bread and circuses, its been working for the last few 1000 years. I also have to wonder if the controlled media doesn't keep people afraid and angry at their neighbor so that we don't all band together and do something about it.

An Amish store that gets cast offs from the regular groceries. Exactly what you described so I sort of assumed it was the same place. I think there are three of them now. I guess there is more than one place like that.
