I believe the individual mandate, which fines those who do not have health insurance, is as Un-American as any law ever enacted. The initial numbers of its impact are public. In 2015 4% of tax filers were fined. Somehow that added up to $3 billion. That total will be higher for '16 and '17, as the fine nearly doubled. For shame.
My thanks to the young woman who purchased a Nora Roberts romance, and to her male companion, who bought The Airbnb Story: How Three Ordinary Guys Disrupted an Industry, Made Billions . . . and Created Plenty of Controversy by Leigh Gallagher; and to the woman who bought Sojourner Truth Ain't I a Woman? a Scholastic Biography by Patricia C. McKissack,and a hardcover book on fighting diabetes through natural remedies. My thanks also to Herbie, who donated two novels. Of course, today's main topic of conversation was the eclipse. Just about all my well-wishers mentioned it. By the time I pack away all the wares into the old Hyundai I'm so bushed all I want to do is get home, pour cold water on my head, snack, read, and nap. Coming out of CVS at about 2:25, I looked toward the sun, which one is not supposed to do, even while wearing sunglasses. The glare was too great. I had to settle for photos posted on the web.
