Do these two things do the same thing? Please tell me I haven't been doing it wrong for all these years?!?

Hate Mongers Please Stick to the Facts!

Personally, I like to look at how far we have advanced over the years. That said, yesterday I had to stop someone who was spreading hateful lies about Hmong people. I have been intimately involved with the Hmong Community for the last decade and longer. I have married a Hmong woman. My family is mixed. While there are certain things in the culture that I disagree with, they do not eat dogs! They are not after your pet for dinner! This is simply crap and that is what I told the person who was spreading it yesterday! I would expect this in the 1980s but do not expect it today. Similarly, someone I know was sharing a completely ridiculous story on social media about a Muslim cashier confronting a young Caucasian boy who was wearing a crucifix. I added the Snopes story to this person's comments under the story. It is a complete fabrication. If people choose to spread hate, if they could at least do us the courtesy of sticking to the facts, I would appreciate it. Addendum: So now ...

Tell Lawmakers to End Healthcare Billing Abuse

HealthPartners just called me again to tell me that the coders have it just right. Even though my son had never seen his new doctor before and she was asking questions about his prescriptions, this was not considered preventive care. So they are charging for an additional office visit on top of the preventive visit. This is just a way to steal my money and it has to stop. Everyone who is sick of this needs to contact their state representative to ask that surprise billing stops.

HealthPartners Double Billing Drives Up Healthcare Cost

Health Partners is billing for two simultaneous appointments because we had prescriptions refilled that were running out. They keep calling to tell me it is legitimate because it is a preexisting condition. I keep telling them it is "legal" theft because prescriptions are part of preventative care (which we don't pay for). They are now reaching for things in the "notes" to bolster their argument for taking my money. I've asked the Minnesota Attorney General to help—because this is one more reason that healthcare in the USA is broken and way too expensive.

What if We Stopped Teaching War?

What if we didn't teach children that war is a way to prove your courage and manhood? Wars are somehow legal, when the small wars fought between rival gangs are not. Yet they seem to be motivated by similar ideas. What if everyone in the world decided that wars are bad? Would that mean we might have to have peace?

Methodology for Hiring

The trouble is, employers are looking for how they can weed through the pile of applications—not for who has the best talent. "No 10 years standing on one foot in the rain? I'm sorry, your resume goes in the dust bin."

Revenge for the Trampled

Revenge for the Trampled UnAssociated Press January 8, 2020 Donald Trump has vowed revenge for the funeral goers who were trampled to death at the funeral procession of General Soleimani . Chump ordered the drone strike on Iranian General, Qasem Soleimani that killed him. Whether the move was good or not, was largely overshadowed by the timing of it; which allowed for a crisis that didn't involve the Trump impeachment. More juvenile chest pounding is expected between the leaders of the countries involved before they finally shut-up and behave themselves.
