Why do people think that other people are only worried about "health care".
Most people don't give it a single thought in their day to day lives (not talking about folks who have ongoing health issues...they are a tiny percentage).
If you ask the average guy why he works the job he is working...I'd bet you the LAST thing he would tell you is because of "health care".
It's more like he is worried about paying the rent, getting some groceries, and maybe a beer on the weekend.

I see older people working and think they work because it gives them purpose, not just a paycheck. It keeps them going, up and dressed each day and not dying a slow death.
My mother works way harder than I want to at that age, but if she stopped, I know her health would suffer. And that is not what the goals are here , are they?

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
