Should we have a single payer grocery/food system since it will work so well with health care?

Why can’t we have a proper Singles Day?
Although we celebrate Singles Awareness Day & Singles Day on 2 different dates but still it just doesn’t seem to be a proper kind of celebration. I don’t see much enthusiasm in it & most of you must not be aware of it either.
February 15 has been declared Singles Awareness Day! This is the day that all of the single people can proudly stand up and show that it is OKAY to be single! I hardly see anyone on 15 getting excited as people get all excited on the 14th even though we don’t see anything hot & happening. Moreover, Singles Day is also a Chinese pop culture holiday on November 11 for people who are still living the single life.
There are single, smart, happy people. It’s another thing we have too many typical folks who believe in suffocating ideas. It’s high time we need to promote the idea that staying single doesn’t mean you are unhappy. It means you have opportunities. You are not burdened with responsibilities. You don’t know tensions revolving around in-laws & you don’t have to worry about husband who might get interested elsewhere.
You are free & what could be more beautiful than this? If you couldn’t meet anyone compatible & fun in all these years, there might be a reason. I don’t think it should be taken as something negative. We need all kinds of people in this world.
I’m sure many of you won’t agree with me. You don’t have to. This is how I look at it. And there was a time when I believed in both love & marriage but people do change & I have. And I think typical folks have no right to throw mud at those who are not all that typical like them. I also think it’s madness on their part to use phrases as ‘no good option’ for single people. You may think you know what single people are missing but the chances are that you do not know what you are missing. Life is not all that bad. Some people may experience different pattern but it doesn’t mean you’re missing out on life.

I Didn't Date Any Porn Star - Says Macaulay Culkin
Recently we saw a picture of the Home Alone
star, Macaulay Culkin
with a girl named Irene Lopez. Apparently, Irene is a Spanish porn star. It was reported that Macaulay just got out of his relationship with Mila Kunis
and he knows how to move on and rock on as a single man once again, which is why he was hanging out and partying with Irene Lopez.

Now, Macaulay Culkin gave an interview to E! in which he denied having any relationship with Irene Lopez. He said that he doesn't even know her and just met her as he meets any fan and took a photograph with her on her request like he does for any fan he comes across. But he denied dating the girl.
Macaulay told E!, "As I do with many fans, I briefly met and took a photo with Irene Lopez at her request." He also said further, "I have had no contact with this woman in any capacity, social or otherwise before or since that picture was taken. Any reports to the contrary are false."
Thus, perhaps he is enjoying his life being a single guy again but he is not really hanging out with a porn star it seems so we got to believe whatever the lady Irene said was a fictional story she told the world to get some attention.
How crazy is that?
What’s natural for one person cannot be natural for another & yet we see rules & chains everywhere. It seems as if there is only one route & everyone must follow it. Those who don’t are called crazy or abnormal. If you ask me how crazy is that? My answer would obviously be: Very.
Many a time, I’ve seen that the hurdle we face is the people around us. I believe acting on your impulse is something that’s worth it. However, being spontaneous has mostly been taken as a negative trait. Everyone ought to do the same thing & that can be utterly boring.
The problem is…we live once & life is worth all the trouble. And the thing is…we can’t make everyone happy.
This common friend of Umar, Zara & I is about to get married. We have been friends with him for more than 20 years. Unlike his brothers, he doesn’t want to leave his family & so he has decided to settle down with a girl of their choice. And he was saying that he doesn’t even have time to think about this marriage. I really don’t know what to say to a friend who is about to do this. But I have been thinking that men do get married no matter what. And besides that, I’ve also heard from women that a man can never be so helpless.
Whenever I think about marriage, the example of Adam & Eve comes in my mind. Although I’ve heard some very terrible cases, but I do believe in marriage. Maybe that’s why it’s difficult to get married in the first place.
Few years ago, I used to read these letters that were basically written to highlight how single women over thirty were suffering. I’m sorry to say but they seemed quite desperate to me. I just couldn’t sympathize. If men were giving so much shit to these women, why were they putting up with it? Then I also read in this magazine that some women these days don’t want to settle down as they don’t want to change nappies. Please give me a break! It seems some people are hell-bent on depicting a sorry picture of women.
I think women have the right to be strong & I’m sure they must have some good reasons for staying single. The fact is…everyone does not meet the right person at the right time. In fact, you usually meet wrong person(s).

I’m not a young person either & I admit it seems like something is missing, but it doesn’t mean one should grab shit just because one is growing old.
Although I had something else in my mind when I started writing this but then I couldn’t help thinking about a friend who is about to tie the knot & yet he has no time to even think about his marriage. And there are countless people who get married, because this is the usual pattern followed by everyone.
