The #MarchForOurLivesLA #MarchForOurLives is obviously well-intentioned.
I just wish people *also* marched for the lives of the approximate 100 per day, 3000 per month, and 36,000 per year who die in our country for lack of health insurance.

I encourage everybody to *always*
#followthemoney. Ultimately, money is why certain things are covered by our media, and other things aren’t. It’s not morals or principles, it’s just money. The same money that allows 100 poor Americans per day to die for lack of health insurancePokaż ten wątek -
In the end, the hashtag says it best: It’s
#MarchForOURLives, which denotes the self-interest at play. If people who have health insurance were to march for universal healthcare, it would be altruism; ie#MarchForTHEIRLives Self-interest, as always, is the problem here.Pokaż ten wątek
