With the war in Iran looming, remember that what it’ll cost could’ve paid for Medicare for All four times over, and a complete conversion to renewable energy for the entire US — as well as free college for everyone.

Easily.

I spent 2019 hearing people ask how we’d pay for Medicare for All.

Thus far in 2020, I have not heard any of those people ask how we would pay for a war in Iran.

And we should send all those people to fight in Iran. Problem solved.

So one must believe hominids ate toxic saturated fats over 3 million years of evolution, until the great day roughly 100 years ago when we learned to extract healthful unsaturated fats out of seeds. This absurd idea persists only because seed oils are obscenely profitable. https://t.co/yZw5Ei27bI

That’s pretty much it. Really need to increase my meat consumption greatly. Bittman was wrong, mostly.

If Clinton had won, we’d probably already be at war with Iran.

That’s not very comforting as to the future, but alas true.
