READING, WRITING

Read for 80 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama. He recalls beginning to grapple with the issue of national health care, recalling that Theodore Roosevelt proposed something along these lines, but it went nowhere; FDR later touted the need for better & cheaper health care (v. paying your doctor for every call & service); Harry Truman (in FDR'S wake) proposed a "Fair Deal" which included a national healthcare program, but it was "defeated" by the strong & wealthy AMA lobby.

Read for 80 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt. He traces the evolutionary path that humans began when they "separated" from the common ancestor we had with apes & monkeys; this began 7M years ago. 3-5M years ago, Astralopithinese Lucy appeared, but was likely just a pre-homonid walking on 2 legs. They developed "tool kits" (Oldowan - flints; and Acheulean - more finely crafted tools). Later (50-70 KYA), the hominids began to leave Africa and the Middle East; and 2-7KYA they began agriculture and herding. followed by city-states (2-7 KYA); then, in 2010, Facebook connected 1/2 billion people.

Read for 80 seconds in SHAMELESS by Brian Tyler Cohen; he recalls that in 2021-2023, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville tried to ax Biden's abortion/care bill by withholding approvals of countless military personnel (they became uncertain about their assignments, promotions, and retirement due to Tuberville's antics); eventually Tuberville caved.

Read for 80 seconds in HUCKLEBERRY FINN by Mark Twain, for fun.
