The Innovative Introvert

Hope everyone is doing well. Im gonna get this page up and running again, since its been so long since ive done anything with it! What is happening in this mess we call our federal government, and that cheeto. Seems like theres not nearly enough oversight and checks/balances. Further, why are republicans/trump so fixated on undocumented immigrants, so much so that masked people within ICE, and other agencies are snatching people off the streets like a damn kidnapping?!

Undocumented immigrants are spending healthcare money mainly due to emergency room visits, which is often their last resort by the way. It’s illegal for any undocumented worker to use medicaid/medicaire, and ER visits account for just one percent of all Medicaid fiscal spending, which in 2023 was $900 billion.

What is wrong with this administration’s core values?!?!

My new slogan:

NO Kings, but YES to peons in this United States, of the people, by the people, and for the people! 🇺🇸🤨😤

P.S. my next post won’t be so political, i just had to get a bit off my chest 😉

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Let’s make this year the best we can. Give more than you take, try to create more than you consume - within different areas of your life, and find those little, or big, things that add to and/or make your happiness, perhaps by doing the aforementioned 😊

I miss all of my San Diego peeps, it’s been way too long since I’ve seen, let alone talked to, many of you. I’ll be visiting this year for sure! 😎

Finally, check out this amazing graduation ceremony speech. These truly are words to live by.

From a brain perspective, researchers are better prepared to develop different drug treatments when they understand the cause of substance use disorders (Personality and substance use). Recent research indicates that introverts, as well as those who are highly attracted to environmental rewards, with generally less positive feelings, have a higher chance of abusing drugs.

George Floyd (1973-2020) What a time to be alive! First, Rest In Peace George Floyd and my deepest condolences to his family and friends. His death has caused a global movement to hold police officers responsible/accountable and stop the incredibly disturbing and unnecessary killing of black men by police. Perhaps the protests and turmoil will be the spark to change the system and reduce institutional, systemic racism that’s so prevalent in the United States and other areas. [ 206 more words ]
