THE INTERNET AND INFORMATION
THE POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES


Throughout history, information has always been a tricky thing to handle.
When Gutenberg was a German blacksmithgoldsmithinventorprinter, and publisher who introduced printing to Europe with the printing press. His introduction of mechanical movable type printing to Europe started the Printing Revolution and is regarded as a milestone of the second millennium, ushering in the modern period of human history.[3] It played a key role in the development of the RenaissanceReformation, the Age of Enlightenment, and the scientific revolution and laid the material basis for the modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses.[4]( Copied from Wikipedia)

The internet has likewise revolutionized the availability and dissemination of information. Anyone
can post anything they want to the internet, right or wrong, good or bad, insightful or not.

My point is  the importance of "filtering" for ourselves what content we attend to and that which we 
do not.

THIS IS HOW STUPID "THEY" THINK WE ARE

1. Presidents may hold office for no more than two elected terms
2. That amounts to a maximum of 8 years

Today March 12, 2019, it was announced that the Presidents budget proposes to save An $845 billion cut to Medicare over 10 years.

See that's the trick.  "...over 10 years".  We'll have a new president. OK, that's $8,450,000,000 (Eight Billion, four hundred and fifty million dollars or $8,450,000,000)  Still a big number but not nearly as impressive as $845 billion cut to Medicare and the "...over 10 years." gets lost in the rush to say the line.

BULLSHIT, BULLSHIT, BULLSHIT! This is how "they" try and piss on our shoes and convince us it's raining.

I'm just sayin'.
