So the J&J Covid vaccine turned out to be useless. Saying anyone who had the shot more than 2 months ago should get a booster means that the vaccine is only good for two months! I don't understand why there isn't an uproar over that. And even worse, it's still approved by the FDA. That's certainly suspicious and doesn't help sway people who don't trust the government on this.

I see the GOP healthcare bill was withdrawn. I'm fine with that, Obamacare is bad in that it does nothing about lowering costs but neither did the GOP bill and it covered fewer people. Cost control is the real issue. We have a unique problem in the healthcare area, compared to the rest of the world. We spend far more per person on healthcare than any other country (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_health_expenditure_per_capita). Obamacare does nothing to address that; it should have been called the Universal Coverage Act, not the Affordable Care Act. Universal coverage is good but we've got to do something about runaway costs as it causes a huge drag on the economy and it's going to get worse, because employers are passing more and more of the exorbitant costs onto its employees, something which the ACA makes easier and more likely. We're going to need some form of socialized medicine eventually, but that's going to be a drop in service for most Americans, so a tough battle. Also, medical progress will slow dramatically because it is the financial incentives that caused it to be so rapid. This will affect all the rest of the world because they benefit from the US paying for most of the medical advances in the past few decades.

The Democrats have no one to blame but their own party leadership and the Clintons themselves. They orchestrated a rigged nomination by limiting the candidates, leaving Hillary as the only moderate/mainstream choice. Even then she only won because of the undemocratic super-delegate system. Like a communist country, they tried to hand-pick Obama's successor and thankfully it back fired, as they hand-picked probably the only candidate unable to beat Donald Trump. Whatever you think of Trump, the Republican win is a victory for democracy and hopefully it will motivate Democrats to rise up and demand changes to their party's rigged nomination system.
