Tea Bag or not Tea Bag


Maybe the infamous Boston Tea Party was also a hoax. Maybe the tea industry whipped people into a frenzy with charges that the crown was plotting to continue to tax tea until the colonies were stuffed with sleepy people with tolerable breath. Tea was going to be prohibitively expensive, so they threw it into Boston Harbor.

Fast forward 200 years, and the status quo industry (RNC+FOX+Insurance rackets and that's all) is trying to gather up all the health care and throw it into the water.

If I can't have it, then nobody will. And if I already have it, then fuck you all. And if I think my employer-tied health insurance is going to keep my family secure against life and its constant companion aging, even while we KNOW We KNOW we know WE KNOW employers are moving away from sponsoring employee benefits (you weren't here for the meeting known as the '80s, when everything we believed was replaced by wanton materialism and corporate impugnity?), then you better not be asking me about whether I want anything spared in the preservation of my incredibly important and intellectually impoverished ass.
