Who caused the divisiveness in our country? Republicans? Donald Trump. I don't think so. The divisiveness was caused by those who believe in free speech unless you are a republican. The divisiveness was caused by people who force others to think the same as they do.

What Is The Cause Of All This Divisiveness?

It's Not Fair To Make Me Pay Off Your Debt
![]() |
And I said that's not fair to me. And he said if I don't think it's fair, then I don't understand the student loan debt problem. And I said that it's not fair that you take on a big debt and I have to pay it off. I don't think it's fair that I work my ass off, I work two jobs to pay off my debt and maintain a life. So it's not fair that I should have to pay even more in taxes to pay of your debt so you can maintain your life too. That is not fair.
I do agree there is a student debt problem. But I am not responsible for it. If you want to help kids with high student loans, then make the colleges and universities responsible for overcharging. Make the colleges and universities find ways of lowering costs, rather than punishing people like me.

Democrats Are Responsible For Dividing Our Country, Not Republicans
My friend told me Trump is responsible for dividing our country. it is not true. He said it is because of his mean words. Him calling democrats and people he doesn't agree with stupid. But we know this is not true, as democrats have been mean to republicans for years. And republicans continue to take the high road. And it gets them no where. Until Trump came along and gave democrats some of their own game. And I talked about this yesterday.

Trump Did Not Cause Division In Our Country
I had a coworker tell me that Donald Trump caused division in our country. I had no choice to call him on it. The people who caused division in our country are democrats.
Democrats for years have talked down to republicans in an arrogant and condescending way. They have ripped and trashed republicans. And all republicans do is take the high road.
And, of course, the media paid no attention to democrats when they did this because the media agreed with democrats. And this is because most people in the media are democrats.
The entire eight years of Bush that's all democrats did was trash him. They trashed him so much they drove his approval numbers into the 30s. And the reason his numbers went down so low is because he refused to defend himself. Like other republicans, he took the high road. He did not defend himself. He even said that it's not his job to defend himself, it's history to do that.
And here comes Trump. He calls democrats on for what they were. And he was the only republican in modern history to do this. And he did such a great job at it that he was elected president.
And now democrats have the nerve to say that Trump is the meanest guy and he is the one who caused division in our country.
I have a good analogy here. There was a man who was married. And his wife for years nagged him. His wife complained about just about everything this guy did. And he took the high road. He never said anything back to his wife. He just kept taking the hits.
He did this for years and years. He would clean the house. And she would come home and say, "This house looks like shit!
And finally, after many years of marriage, he hit a wall. He was fed up with how he was being treated. So he decided to talk to her. And a fight ensued. And the wife said, "You are so mean!"
The truth was, that his wife was mean. She was mean to him for years. And the one time he got the nerve to stand up to her, now she calls him mean.
The same thing with democrats and Trump. Democrats were mean to republicans for years. And finally republicans get Trump. And he calls it how it is. He calls democrats on their skulduggery. And now he's the mean guy who causes division in our country.
This only happens because the media only reports meanness when it's republicans doing it. Democrats have been doing this for years. If you listen to Fox or conservative media, you are aware of this. But, if all you do is listen to CBC, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, etc, then you are blind to the truth. Sorry, but it's true.

Tip #21. You can learn how useful wisdom is by asking an RT with 20 plus years experience
So you are an RT student. You have a question. Perhaps it's a question you need to know for a test. Perhaps it's information you need for your RT or CRT test. Then you need to know the answer for that.
Yet sometimes I witness RT students asking us RTs questions. Well, actually it happens a lot. And most of the time we have answers. And the reason we have answers is that it's the information we find useful and that we use, at least from time to time.
But if you ask an RT of 20 plus years a question, and they don't know the answer, it's probably because it doesn't matter. The answer might be useful to help you pass a test or impress someone. But it's not a bit of wisdom needed in the real world.
Example:
Student: "What type of a ventilator is this?"
RT of 20 years: "It's a Servi i."
Student: "No. I mean, is it flow cycled or pressure limited."
RT of 20 years. "I have no idea. I remember studying those in school. But it's information I forgot as soon as the test was over."
This information is not important to the typical therapist. It may prove helpful to engineers who are developing such equipment. But it's not helpful in the field of RT work.
Example #2.
Student. "When peak pressure and static pressure both increase, what does that mean?"
RT of 20 years: "It means that your compliance has decreased. It means your lungs are stiffer. Severe COVID-19 is a perfect example of this. Their lungs are stiff, and therefore there pressures are higher. This is why we use low tidal volumes and high respiratory rates and are happy with some degree of respiratory acidosis."
Student. "Wow! I am impressed with your knowledge.
This information is very helpful in the line of RT work. I guarantee there will be one or maybe more questions about peak and static pressures. There may be a question about what it means if they both go up. There may be questions about what happens when the gap between them increases. So, know this wisdom. You will definitely benefit from this wisdom when you are a real RT.
If you ask this question to an RT who has worked at a certain hospital for 20 years or longer. And that therapist doesn't know the answer. Then it probably doesn't matter.
Think about it. That RT has worked

Here's why I will never own an electric car
My friends were trying to convince me to buy an electric car. This conversation was spawned by the increasing gas prices. They told me since gas prices are so high, this would be a good incentive to by an electric car.
I said, "I will never in my life buy an electric car."
And of course, my friends were concerned about this. "Why would you not want to buy an electric car? Are you selfish? Do you not care about the Earth?'
I said, "None of that. The reason I won't ever buy one is that I am 51 years old. And right now the least expensive electric car is $100,000. And that is $88,000 over my budget. Plus electric cars require new batteries every few years. And I don't want to have to pay $3-5,000 for a new battery, or whatever that cost is. For me, it's more cost-effective to buy a car run by gas. And I am certain that the price will not come down to fit into my budget by the time I need a new car.
"Plus, I continued. I only buy used cars. So, by the time a cost-effective electric car is on the market, plus one that fits into my budget, I am certain I will be long gone by then."
And of course, there are others reasons too. I live in Michigan. I have learned that batteries have moving parts in them. They have lithium-ion batteries including the ions. And in cold weather, they freeze the cathodes. And this makes it pretty much a solid rather than a jelly. And if these ions can't move the battery cannot make the electricity needed to start the car.
Also, in cold weather, there is no wind. So, there won't be any way for the wind turbines the liberals want to create electricity with to spin. And when this happens there will be no way for people to charge those batteries for those electric cars. So, unless some engineer figures a way to solve this problem. And enough time passes for the patent to expire and the cost to come down to earth. There is no way an electric car will be available for me during my lifetime.
And this is just me being honest. It's me looking at the bit picture. And this is something liberals fail to do: look at the big picture. They just look at the idea and say, "Yeah, this is what we need." And this is another good example of idealism (liberalism) versus realism (conservatism).

America Is NOT inherently racist
In the 1960s people were defined by their color. Today, people are not defined by their color. In fact, we even had a 2 term black President. This in itself proves America is not systemically racist. But don’t tell a democrat that.
Democrats want you to believe America is still systemically racist. That all our systems are racist from the top down. And this is simply not true.
Studies show that COVID hit the black population harder than the white population. So, democrats think this is proof of systemic racism in the healthcare system. So this explains why Governor Whitmer said the hospital system is inherently racist. That some poeple are being turned away just because they are black. Which just isn’t true.
Still, based on this theory, she has decided that we healthcare workers need race training.
This is B.S. I have been working in a hospital for 25 years not. And I have never once seen a patient turned down due to color. If they choose not to seek treatment, it is their own fault for not coming in. It is not our fault.
In fact, it is even a law saying that we cannot turn anyone down for treatment. There would be peokple going to jail if what governor Whitmer said was true.
1699 project.
A project that claims that the Revolutionary war was fought to preserve the institution of slavery. And this is not true. Still, the left is insisting that this be taught in schools. In California it is already being taught. So, our kids are basically being taught a lie by the left leaning school systems.
