Michael Straight said Lifeward refused to repair his $100,000 exoskeleton, which only had a minor issue with its battery.

    Voting doesn’t equal approval.

      Yes, it does. We may not like to consider that, but it’s the truth.

        Disagreeing with politics is as old as humans, one can live in a situation one doesn’t philosophically agree with. Voting does hold aspiration.

          That it does.

          We still have to look at historical patterns and acknowledge that what a person claims to vote for is antithetical to what their party of choice is actually going to do.
