@WickedsGhost I voted for Obama & I dislike his policies immensely. It has nothing to do with his skin color. I also dislike many of Trumps policies too.

You hated Obama because you're racists. We hate trump because he's a pedophile.

@HazelAppleyard Evil & Sad.

We are heading to a dark place.

@MatrixMysteries Interest is front loaded. I don't like it either but it is the cost to borrow.

An American buys a $138,000 home. She sends the bank $9,286. After interest, taxes, and insurance take their cut, ONLY $952 actually touches the loan. $8,300 is PURE interest. This isn’t paying down a mortgage — it’s usury, and it should be ILLEGAL nationwide.

@AlanRMacLeod It's unfortunately both. There will always be a ruling class in any system.

This is literally capitalism.

@AdrienEmber @ma1ybe Then we need to make better deals. It cannot be a 1 way giving system.

@SyLy94 @ma1ybe I’m a fan of the Nordic system of having a strong social safety net. What sucks about foreign aid is it’s always tied into other deals so it’s almost impossible to eliminate it and still have good relations with other countries.

- No universal healthcare - No paid family leave - No universal childcare - No tuition free public college - No guarantee of live-saving care when pregnant due to abortion bans - Average cost of $310k to raise a child to 18 yrs old Of course US birth rates are at an all-time low

@AdrienEmber @ma1ybe Isolationism is not what caused the great depression - it did make the severity worse BUT I am mostly saying stop the foreign aid, other countries do not send us billions of aid every year. And many other countries have tried & failed with socialism/communism yet its on the rise

@SyLy94 @ma1ybe We tried isolationism in the 1920’s and the Great Depression followed.

@AdrienEmber @ma1ybe All Administrations are blood thirsty because their backers make $ off of war. Personally I think we need to go through a period of isolationism & take care of our homeland before any more foreign aid or interventions.

@SyLy94 @ma1ybe I think we would have been fine to do so if this admin wasn’t so blood thirsty. We were in our first era of peace in 20 years. We could have easily reallocated $200B from DoD to fund Medicaid.

@AdrienEmber @ma1ybe I don't think decreasing defense spending would be good in the current climate. I do think we never should have agreed to send billions overseas to anywhere when at home looks like its falling apart.

@SyLy94 @ma1ybe Either/or. I think reducing the DoD budget would be simpler since we wouldn’t have to renegotiate any agreements with other countries, but whatever. All I’m saying is there’s plenty of money to fund it.

@AdrienEmber @ma1ybe OR we could stop sending ANY money overseas.

@SyLy94 @ma1ybe We can just reduce the DoD budget to 2022 levels and we could fund it.

@AdrienEmber @ma1ybe I'm not opposed to trying it as long as the tax rate is not increased to accomplish it.

@SyLy94 @ma1ybe The thing is we have the money to get it done and we have the providers who want to do it. The insurance lobby just fights it at every turn.

@AdrienEmber @ma1ybe I would be worried they would continue to up the $150/month....otherwise it would be something I'd be interested in learning more about.

@SyLy94 @ma1ybe Why not just give Medicaid to everyone. It’s a great system. I grew up on it because we were poor and now my son is on it because he’s got a disability. I pay $150/month and get all his medical needs covered at no cost. 90% of the doctors in my area take Medicaid too.

@AdrienEmber @ma1ybe I'm happy it is good in your state but could you imagine adding the entire US population to a network that is already short on doctors & nurses...it would be very problematic. They need to fix the lack of providers before rolling out universal.

@SyLy94 @ma1ybe I’m a veteran and I use the VA. The quality of care is entirely dependent on what state you’re in. My VA is really good but that’s not the same across the board.

@Discipln_trader @UziCryptoo Your 1st sentence says the "system is fine" - you would have to be ignoring many problems in order to think that the system is fine.

@SyLy94 @UziCryptoo non sequitur and ad hominem. I never implied anything about ignoring problems. Since you started with a lie your'e ignored.

The phrase "nobody wants to work anymore" is hilarious... Like, no dude, people don't want to: - Commute 2 hours daily - Miss their kids growing up - Trade their entire life for rent - Get laid off with zero warnings - Work 50 hours for 40 hours pay Fix the system. not the workers.

@Discipln_trader @UziCryptoo The system was bad then & it's bad now. We do have a very bad affordability problem & that is causing other problems. Just because it was bad/worse 100 years ago does not mean we just have to ignore the problems of today.

The system is fine. Your great or maybe great great grandfather got Sunday off and 60 rather than 80 hours and thought it was great. Their parents got up at dawn and worked till dusk then did chores around the house every day just to survive. Same going back to when we dropped from the trees and realized fruit and living on branches just didn't cut it anymore.

@anahithevixen @ma1ybe And look at the problems they have. People with severe problems in Canada drive into the US to get care due to long wait times. It's not bad to point out a flaw & say lets address this issue before we subject all of our citizens to it.

@SyLy94 @ma1ybe every other developed nation has one.

@emuwee @ma1ybe While I support the people of Iran gaining their freedom I do not support our tax dollars going anywhere but home until our problems are fixed in totality.

@SyLy94 @ma1ybe i feel like my tax paying dollars shouldn’t go to war and israel but that’s just me

@AdrienEmber @ma1ybe I don't disagree & am in the same boat. I am just point out that socialized universal care has several flaws that we need to work out 1st before its put into practice. Look at the VA healthcare system - its a train wreck! I would not want my children depending on a similar system

@SyLy94 @ma1ybe We have people dying right now because they’re too afraid of financial ruin from going to the doctor.

@jessj1nxtr @ThoughtCrimes80 @SyLy97 Yes well being insulting & not willing to change the society that is anti-child is not going to address the problem. Fund better healthcare for mothers & bring the cost of living down. I have a bill for 1 ultrasound & it's over $1400 out of pocket & that's with good insurance.

Well CONGRATS for doing your part! 😊👍 5 kids is AWESOME! That’s well above replacement levels! @SyLy97 I’m talking about a horrifying trend that I see of women dying single and childless. Population implosion is very scary stuff. It needs WAY more attention on it, way more than climate change. Things could go bad if they don’t… 😬

This is such a weird flex. If you’re so happy about your decision, why do you constantly try to validate it?

@esjesjesj Congrats you're an idiot....What they are speaking about is that for years Birth Control has been said to be completely safe & now we are in a fertility crisis that is turning a profit for big Pharma. Nowhere in their post are they endorsing teen pregnancy.

Women want to have kids later than when they’re in high school. Seems you’re against that
