Modern medicine is wild. On the one hand they can do so much, on the other hand you spend your whole time explaining things you've already explained while getting sent meticulous records of everything via an app.

Requiring amendments to win in each Congressional district is a hilariously cynical attempt to give the legislature a veto on amendments.

Trump: "Any country with windmills is a loser"
