If there is no premiums in Bernie's plan, why is he not campaigning that his healthcare play will also be increasing everyone's SS check each month?

The Bryant family has TONS of money. Kobe's death will in no way deny the rest of the Bryant family a life of generational luxury.
I might understand if the Bryants were part of a multi-party lawsuit involving the other passengers. Or if the Bryants used their celebrity and influence to push for better safety standards, such as requiring helicopters to have terrain warning radar, I would understand and strongly support that effort.
But basically suing the helicopter company for money? What's the point? Is there something I'm missing here? less

He was anti-wealth, anti-death penalty, and anti-public prayer (M 6:5). He wasn't anti-gay, never mentioned abortion or birth control, and never called the poor lazy. He never justified torture, never fought for tax cuts for the wealthiest Nazarenes, and never asked a leper for a co-payment. He was a long haired, brown skinned, homeless, community organizing, anti-slut-shaming, Middle Eastern Jew.Looks like a socialist to me.excon less

Eros - romantic, passionate, erotic, sexualPhilia - affectionate, fraternal, between friends and equals,Agape - selfless, universal, empathic, altruistic, ethicalStorge - familiar, the old oxytocin feeling for someone who fits like an old sockMania - obsessive for anyone or anything, a kind of madnessLudus - playfulPragma - enduring love, only known when you get therePhilautia - for self, necessary for healthy functioning, but unhealthy in excess.
But then we'd need still more words for moments when we say we "love" ice-cream or Vivaldi.
So I have my own way of defining love:"love is that which consciously cares for the well-being of life."But how accurate is it?The word love in my definition could just as easily be substituted for wisdom or goodness. So have I understood the essence of love or not?
