@npub1ffl…tv7d Yeah, but they're free. Joy through personal fulfillment is to come from the this prolonged opportunity to exercise self reliance.

An accurate hypothetical conversation with a rural ON conservative voter
Voter - I am angry at Ford over our ER closing.
Me - Last election, everyone knew Ford would cut healthcare funding.
Voter - I didn't know that.
Me - So why did you vote conservative?
Voter - My family has voted conservative for 3 generations.
Me - So next election will you vote for a party that will open your ER?
Voter - No, I will vote conservative like my family has for 3 generations.

From late noted economist John Kenneth Galbraith, former advisor to John F. Kennedy, who post WWII studied the effectiveness of the Allied heavy bombing of Germany;
"The bombing of Germany, both by the British and ourselves [America], had far less effect than was thought. The German arms industry continued to expand its output until autumn 1944, despite the heaviest air attacks."
But they killed between 300,000 and 600,000 German civilians.

In the before times #lawyers and #lawschool professors would carefully read through #SCOTUS decisions to determine if they established new legal principles or modified earlier ones. Currently, non-law, concerned #USA citizens read decisions from this SCOTUS to determine who paid for the decisions.
