Depends on what you consider verbal abuse. For years I was bullied on a daily basis and made to feel like less than I was for no other reason than to make the bully seem strong.

Financially doped? Barcelona is a tax exempt entity in Spain. THEY DONT PAY TAXES IN SPAIN.......ON ANY INCOME. That is financial doping. Have a rich owner (foreign or domestic) isn’t financial doping. It is the equivalent of winning the lottery.

It was only after Nixon that health care as a for-profit corporate enterprise existed, and not…

On some level, someone could make that (very presumptuous accusation), because with humanity and with community comes the understanding that we should all be in this together on some level.
