Obamacare under attack!

      One of the many Trump Campaign promises was the repeal of Obamacare. But how feasible is that? Well, the GOP would have to replace it with some system or way of softening the blow. But to 20 Million people on Obamacare, their fate lies within the republican unified government. 

     Repealing Obamacare isn't hard, they know everything to do to get rid of it and now is the time. However, the system of replacing is up in the air. 

The first question is what to do and how to distribute federal subsidies? Should it be age based or tax based?

The second point is the modification of Medicaid. There would most likely be less federal funding. The devil is in the details.

The main issue is that Obamacare is massive and has had time to sit and sink into society. The effects of Obamacare has allowed many poor Americans to have insurance of some kind at the cost of raised premiums of all the insurance outside the government due to the people going to Obamacare. Turning the 20 million people back to the privatized insurance companies could prove difficult a transition. But due to Trumps new found affinity for Obama, the solution could be much more Democratic than expected.

Pizzagate: I'll have a pepperoni, extra underage.

     Due to the fake news crisis from Facebook, more illegitimate information about the nature of the Democratic Party has been released. During the campaign, Hillary Clinton visited Comet Ping Pong, which is a popular hang out for everyone, including your high ranking democrats. However, news spread that Comet Ping Pong was an establishment for underage human trafficking. 

Dominos on the other hand has started offering salads. Business branch their markets in different ways.

Anyways, this spread fast. "High ranking democrats purchase children sex slaves from pizzeria." Well this brought many alt right 'republicans' out of the woodwork to 'investigate' this establishment, with a large meat lovers pizza extra bacon. 

Of these private eyes, there was Edgar Maddison Welch. Welch, the sleuthy investigator he is, brought his assault rifle and pointed it at an employee. The employee was able to escape and call the police. This began Welchs spree of shooting at random in the building. 

He was subdued by police and questioned on his... tactics for his self investigation. 

Let's just say that Welch didn't pass police academy and was probably stumped when it came to the revolving door, entering the academy. 

Thankfully, no one was hurt, so we can all laugh uncomfortably at the situation, along with the therapist of the employee. 

However, this incident is indicative of a larger issue: Anyone can produce media false or otherwise. It's absolutely dangerous. This tells Americans that before we 'investigate' we must fact check and ask questions and leave our assault weapons at home.

These are the big players of 2016.

        Recently, 5 of the worlds greatest leaders convened. However, this group of representatives is coming to an end. Yes, the breakfast club of world leaders are being succeeded or challenged by many incoming forces.

Firstly, David Cameron, former prime minister, resigned post Brexit, due to his countrymen's vote to leave.

Secondly, our own Presidenf Barack Obama is leaving office soon. He's packing his bags, booby-trapping the White House, and collecting all his relics from his home in Nigeria. He is giving up his seat to Business Bigot Donald Trump. 

Thirdly, Angela Merkel is running for her 4th term as German Chancellor. Her popularity has been a number that has raised some questions because of her acceptance of immigrants and open borders but she is wavering at 50%. 

Fourthly, Francois Hollande has announced he will not be running for re-election. This is an odd occurrence for an incumbent president to not seek re-election but Hollande has had low popularity so it might be nice for the country to voluntarily change leadership.

Lastly, Matteo Renzi, Italy's prime minister will not be re-elected. This is primarily due to the large response of 'no' to his call to reform their constitution. Nearly 60% of voters were not feeling that. He plans to stay in office until their next budget is decided.

Unfortunately, Vladimir Putin wasn't able to attend the world leader get-together. But something tells me he wasn't invited in the first place...

World leaders will be rising in power these next few weeks/months. This will set a whole new tone to foreign relations and the way the world will operate.

Rough 'em up, president elect!

     President elect, Donald Trump, acted in Indiana recently to attempt to get the aircondition company to stay and not take 1,000 jobs to Mexico. In exchange, carrier is receiving 7 mil in financial incentives over the next 10 years from the state of Indiana. Okay. But is that really it? Did the big business just take its cute little 7 mil and just collapse at the first Trump attack. "Oh! You got us! We'll stay in the states!"

Whatever the case, many are praising the president elect for his first big victory. But this system of knuckling under and paying for companies not to leave is setting a bad example for other companies to attempt. For instance, a company could threaten to leave the states and then get paid just to stay directly where they are. Would we be shelling out money at the leisure of desired companies? 

The good news is that right now, is that president elect is just a pseudo-political business man with a can-do attitude. In the future, everything else will be much more official by modifying trade agreements and tax policies.
