Still Educating Sam Hasler

A strange brew is this, and not all of it is pretty. Partially a record of a crackup and partially a tale of rising from that crackup back into a useful life; and part of that is how I decided writing was necessary to my life and recovery; and another part is just keeping a record of where I have been and what I have learned. You can see the topics I cover the sidebar. The hope is to help others; the purpose is figuring out where I am going. Thank you for dropping by. Feel free to comment.

Politics - Indiana, Gold, Ukraine

I am thinking these will be self-explanatory. Maybe changes in Indiana. So much money for providers and Hoosiers being kicked off Medicaid and SNAP.

There is voting at elections and then there is voting by moving one's feet - or in moving a country's gold. If the US isn't safe for the other country's gold, what is it for us?

Trump likes Putin. Putin is locked in a futile war with Ukraine. Is this why Trump has us in a futile war with Iran - Putin-envy?

$68 billion is up for grabs in Medicaid. Who wants it? • Indiana Capital Chronicle

Why are European countries moving their gold out of North America?
