My mother in law fell and bust her hip a few years ago. She’s gone downhill fast ever since.
I wish Nancy no physical suffering. Hope she recovers.

Pelosi isn't the only senior to stumble; 82 y/o Mitch McConnell fell in the senate earlier this week spraining his wrist and cutting his face.
He's working from home due to 'stiffness' in his leg now.
At least they've got the best healthcare our money can buy; no co-pays, 100% coverage, no premuims to pay, no prior approval needed. It's interesting to see how the other 1% live.

You will fast and pray until Pelosi can walk again!
It might be better for her to get an artificial hip. The recovery is often faster and less painful.

Society has advanced to the point where almost everyone who does "mental" work can stay home and do their job. During COVID, the House and Senate members could cast their votes from home, or let someone else cast it for them, if they were too sick to reach a keyboard.
Since Joe Biden has once again extended the Covid-19 National Emergency, maybe Pelosi and McConnell can be 100% effective from anyplace, so long as they have a computer and phone.

Pelosi takes a private flight to Europe you think? She certainly has broken enough trading laws to afford it.

When you're on official government business you don't fly commercial and all you have to de to make your vacation official business is meet with somedignitary for a quick handshake. It's also quite common to take family tag-a-longs.

I've been able to legally write off my vacations as business expenses over the past 30+ years by doing "something" business related while at the resort, on the cruise ship, etc.. The tax system was designed by business-owners, which means it benefits business owners far more than non-business-owners. Another reason why a flat tax sucks in our eyes. Why pay 15% flat, when I pay 0% by using legal deductions?

Well THAT was fast and suspiciously convenient for a foreign country wasn't it. Perfect California style script. 😀
