How ‘Gay’ Should a Gay Bar Be?

What does the label even mean in a time of sexual fluidity? And what about the ‘bachelorette party’ problem?

They will work it out.

There are probably places for single sex bars and houses of accommodation for various needs and tastes.
They will be tourist attractions if they are known.
A possible solution is the private club.
How to pay the costs remains a problem without a membership fee.
The speakeasy suggests itself as a business model.
Bachelorette Parties can have their own specialists as do Bachelor Parties and wedding receptions.

Men Don’t Want to Be Nurses. Their Wives Agree.

There’s one way to help unemployed men get jobs. But they’re not interested.

Low wages are a prime reason for discrimination on all sides of the contracts.

America and other wealthy countries must not turn their backs on fighting disease and illiteracy.

Would You Trust Tom Selleck With Your Life Savings?

Companies that market to older Americans choose their celebrity spokesmen or spokeswomen with an eye toward the sensibilities of retirees.

"“They may take longer to make a decision,” she added, “but the reward is, once they make the decision they’re sticking to it. Once they’ve been won over, they’re sticking with you.”"

Sooner is better.       As soon as you can is best.

Late-Night Hosts Tear Into Senate Health Care Bill

Jimmy Kimmel said, “They’re calling the plan ‘Bettercare,’ as in, ‘Just imagine how much better this plan would be if the people who wrote it cared.’”

This should be unnecessary.
Those that care oppose the intention of this plan.
Those that favor the plan are not listening.

‘This Was the Second Time the Subject of a Story Died in Front of Me.’

Jaime Yaya Barry describes his visits with a family in Senegal who had suffered terrible loss.

I do not want to know.
I could directly ease the life of an individual.
I am unable to choose which individual among so many.

If I scale the problem under the assumption that I can get the resources to ease the existence of any group the problem remains one of choice among many.

Assume I refuse to choose.
If I do not ease existence the situation is unchanged by me.
If I ease existence for the whole I speed world population crash.
Active killing is not acceptable to me.

At Nursing Homes, Medicaid Cuts Would Reach Even the Upper Middle Class

Medicaid, targeted by Republicans’ health care bill, pays for most of the 1.4 million elderly people in nursing homes, some of whom do not know they are on it.

No one wants to think about it.
If one thinks about it opposition to A.H.C.A. is the only possible political position.

The Republicans will continue to try to pass ths A.H.C.A.
Trumpcare is their goal.

Daily Report: A Crusader Against a Severe, Previously Unseen Cyberattack

A ransomware demand of a Newark firm, carried out with stolen federal cyberweapons, was a smoke screen for a frightening crime with higher stakes.

There is no expectation of privacy on the web.

Strong encryption of critical information is required.
As I do not want to use strong encryption I do not use the web for critical information.

The market for slime — a sticky substance in a multitude of colors — is thriving in a cottage industry run by fourth-graders, teenagers and young adults.

I have dealt with my hormones since before I knew you.
I would know you again.
Sooner is better.    As soon as you can is best.
