Dumb Bushies

I just read a tumblr belonging to Ash, a young girl doing "thatrefinedwoman"... She's into my kind of politics, finding The Donald a buffoon and cultivating a critical view of other candidates -- such as Jeb Bush

...Apple Watch? Even that thing no-one knows about if it really works as desired, and it is another superfluous expensive toy which is designed for that kind of people which don't know where to invest their money in.
...Sometimes you really wonder what someone put into the coffee those people drink. Desperation can't be pressed into a pill.

M -- please see my reply to Khall (below).

And, yes, one does worry about what Jeb was drinking (probably NOT coffee) when he was inspired to say that...

The apple watch is going to solve the healthcare problem? I have no words.

goofy as fuck...

Well, to be charitable, Jeb MAY have meant that the amazing high-tech people who brought us the Apple Watch would -- at his request -- "mind-meld" a techno solution to providing affordable access to health care.

Which idea is, nonetheless, as goofy as fuck...

(*facepalm and shakes head)

It makes you get to know what you're sick by, but it doesn't offer you solution.
Didn't hear that Apple would combine the purchase of the watch with an insurance contract...

You get used to the idea of politicians saying stupid things, but this doesn't even count as a stupid thing. It's simply a string of words with phrases like 'Consumer driven' and 'Repeal Obamacare' stuck in there. Thinking about it for a couple of days, it might be worth checking whether any Sci-Fi/Fantasy shows have included a watch that works a some sort of universal doctor, as Jeb strikes me as the sort of chap who finds it difficult to tell News/Documentaries/Drama apart unless he has a responsible adult with him.

Just posted a message, but only just realised that I was still on anonymous. Sorry!

Hey, I've been known to trip over that dubious "feature" of LJ myself.

Anyway, I "opened" your comment and responded above. (Goddess knows, a little anonymity is not a bad thing sometimes...)

And thanks once again, Gary -- your responses are always marvelous!
