Price...

President Donald Trump took two swings at drug makers over the high cost of medicines, bringing attention back to an administration priority that he has largely ignored for the past few months.

Trump reiterated his desire to get the cost of prescription drugs "way down," claiming that "the world is taking advantage of us."
Before a Cabinet meeting earlier, Trump accused drug companies of "getting away with murder," repeating an attack line he first used shortly before taking office.
He still remember...

Deputies from the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office found a vast arsenal inside a locked closet in a home in Dunedin, including three explosive devices, 10 rifles, eight handguns, two shotguns, ammunition, a makeshift firearm sound suppressor.. the sheriff's office said in a press release.

The deputies also found aerial photographs of a water treatment plant, an elementary school and a middle school -- all Hillsborough County.

A handwritten note, "The daughters come, and I am ready. I have fed on my hatred for centuries. My fury at those who imprisoned me shall be vast and without mercy... then the WORLD WILL BURN BURN," according to the sheriff's office.  Officials arrested 24-year-old Randall Drake,  

Drake has no criminal history or history of mental health issues. Investigators went to the home -- where Drake lives with his mother and father -- to execute a search warrant in connection with a child pornography investigation.

Image result for men loneliness

According to the Harvard Business Review, 40 percent of U.S. adults report feeling lonely. This attributed to the record numbers of people who live alone.
Technology can help or hurt, it's simply a tool but for too many people technology has led to substituting online connections for offline in-person connections.
Masculinity is tied to being self-sufficient and not expressing your emotions and certainly not admitting to feelings of loneliness. But many men do feel lonely especially after they get married or have children where their social circles narrow.
Loneliness is associated with a reduction in your lifespan that is as severe as the lifespan you see with smoking 15 cigarettes a day.   We evolve to be social creatures and thousands of years ago if you were connected to other people you were more likely to have a stable food supply and to be protected from predators. So when you're disconnected, you're in a stress state.  
We have for years thought about ourselves as an individualistic society that champions individual achievement but we're truly interdependent creatures and ultimately we need each other.

The Subway System is deteriorating big time in NYC. People are packed in like sardines.
The Mayor finally wants to tax the rich to fix the subway. Too late, we need someone who can pay attention to the transportation system, the engine for NY city's business.

Investigators say the pilot of a Texas hot air balloon that crashed and killed 16 people flew with enough Benadryl in his system to have the equivalent blood-alcohol level of a drunken driver.

National Transportation Safety Board investigators at a hearing in Washington that pilot Alfred "Skip" Nichols also took sedatives and opioids that likely affected his decision-making during the July 2016 flight.
Nichols had at least four convictions for drunken driving and twice spent time in prison.

A Texas lawmaker expects hot air balloon pilots to obtain medical certificates following a crash similar to last year that killed 16 people.
The July 2016 crash in a pasture near Austin, Texas, was the worst hot air balloon disaster in U.S. history.

The National Transportation Safety Board could recommend new safety regulations. Medical experts have said the pilot of the Texas balloon should have been grounded because of medical ailments and drug use.
