and the economy is still awful

Those horrible tv ads need to be abolished.  I can't eat a sandwich while watching tv now with all those side-effect listings.  And the visuals of the ad (e.g. people dancing, playing softball, walking on the beach, etc) are always in direct opposition to all the warnings.  Btw if you watch the ad w/ the sound turned down, all those people look crazy.

And remember, don't take it if you are allergic to it.

Back when only those of us with an IQ of 180 could have intelligent discussions on Usenet

Haha yep I miss Usenet, some of those forums were classic.  And I miss all the ascii artwork.

When HMOs took over

We should have some system with basic catastrophic coverage for everyone and then an option to buy whatever supplemental coverage you want on the open market.

I miss the days when the net was basically just html pages & plain text emails.  Simple, fast, no plugins or endless browser upgrades necessary.  But I don't miss the blinking text.

at some point the internet became a soapbox. i think this began around 2004.. in 2008 it was plagued. by 2010 it was pandemic.

everything is political...only way to change it really is to tear it all down and start over

Even cucks have their limits.

I remember the first time I hooked up a modem to my computer and started messaging with someone on a BBS I started sweating because it seemed so awesome. It was a blazing 1200 baud!

Nite GS ... I'm out too, just can't stick w/ the topic.  Funny, complex bureaucratic policy issues usually give me more energy.

Money spent on a personal trainer would probably be worth it.
