@cash_mccarty @ianmSC That's what they do.
When "winners" lose, they say to themselves, "I lost. I blew it."
When "losers" lose, they congratulate themselves on what a wonderful job they did while losing.

@luclanguage You eat black pudding, tripe and haggis.
You have no standing in the "edible cuisine" department.

@queenie4rmnola Slavery is a black culture invention. Blacks captured and sold other blacks. In fact, the first slaveholder was a black man.

@RachelTrue Taxes are for the defense and management of the country, to take care of the collective needs that cannot be managed individually; defense, law, roads, financial framework, etc.
Paying for your crumb-snatcher's daycare becuase you planned poorly is not my responsibility.

What are our taxes for then?
No social services, just war?
Headquarters@HQNewsNow
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country, we have 50 states, all these people, we're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things

@juniorkingpp Gee...why is that? Perhaps a bit of nog self-reflection might clue you in.

White people really only scared of being around black people lol

@KerryHolmekb Like this?
As Ronaldus Magnus said, "The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

Today I'm affirming what I have long believed and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex.

@opticalfussion @AGHamilton29 "Illegals are doing the tough jobs that Americans won't do."
Murder.
English
@AGHamilton29 Don't worry CATO will tell you it's ok and worth importing 3rd world labor.
English
@AGHamilton29 Well, I guess the Democrats were right after all...
Illegals are now doing the jobs that Americans won't do...mainly "murdering".
English
@Faakew2 @LinkofSunshine To be fair, it’s probably not that bad if you ignore the insane inflation that Democrats and Republicans gave us during Covid, destroying the value of the dollar
English
Dems had a trifecta for like 41 days and immediately gave tens of millions of Americans healthcare
Stephanie Ⓥ@SVcrazycatlady
I remember when this happened in the 2008 election, but we ended up with Republican policies anyway.
English
Not sure that this is an efficient model, requiring everyone to pay for services that they won't/can't use. Insurance companies are REQUIRED to provide the benefits, so they need to charge for it.
It stopped becoming a risk mitigation strategy, which is the entire point of "insurance" and people started expecting it to cover everything. It's now just financing.
"Free" preventative services means that insurance pays the entire bill. You expect them to eat that? No, it all gets charged back in premiums.
English
@Faakew2 @HarlemJ11 @LinkofSunshine It's true that most (~55%?) of the new coverage was Medicaid expansion and that many shifted plans. But health care costs grew less in the aftermath. The net effect was higher premiums/deductibles for healthy/high middle income, but better coverage/less junk insurance.
English
@MTumarkin @MatrixMysteries Indeed, economic ignorance is the biggest problem we have. Or more to the point I guess, is ignorance of human behavior.
I don't know how one can go through life expecting some magical government to support you when you can no longer, or don't want to continue working.
English
@Faakew2 @MatrixMysteries Unfortunately I have several friends who retired at 65 not realizing that it wasn't full retirement age and blamed Trump! They got angry when I pointed out that the age chart was updated during the Reagan administration!!!!!

An American grandmother just opened her Social Security check.
She was barely scraping by.
Then $185 was taken out for Medicare.
Now she’s looking for a job at 67.
Yet there are states that offer FREE healthcare to ILLEGAL immigrants.
English
So if I don't carry health insurance, get cancer, I should be able to go by a policy that covers it after I get sick??
How do you think insurance companies stay in business?
I mean, who would buy health insurance if you don't need to? Just get sick, buy a policy, then drop it when the illness is mitigated?
Just because you don't understand how the world actually works, as opposed to your child-like understanding of it, doesn't mean that insurance is a scam.
English
@Faakew2 @LinkofSunshine And that doesn’t work because then there are no restrictions on what health insurance companies can do to people who get sick.
They will dumb them for a made up preexisting condition. It’s what they did before ACA and if you get the government out they will do it again.
English
Here's the plan...get government out of the relationship. Sell across state lines. Permit minimal plans for catastrophic-only coverage, high-deductible plans, let people choose their coverage levels.
But midwits don't want to hear that, you still believe that there's an undiscovered, magical government solution that will make someone else pay for all your healthcare and only rich people will foot the bill.
English
@Faakew2 @LinkofSunshine Look at what healthcare costs were doing before. They were going up at an even faster rate.
Republicans have spent the last 15 years destroying healthcare and blaming democrats.
Republicans still do not have a plan. They never do. They don’t want anything to get better
English
@ReddCinema It's a counterweight.
On a lever.
That's all it is, and if that blows your mind....

I fucking love humans. Imagine the shit we’d come up with if we didn’t have to please shareholders.

Hey Americans on here chiding us in other countries for criticising Trump: he is our business. Petrol in Australia is in short supply & currently costs $2.48 p/l (that’s $9.37 p/gallon.) We didn’t bomb Iran. We are all suffering because of your stupid President.

@PlasmaPistolCEO Remind me what happened at the '72 Olympics? Beirut barracks? October 7th?
Shall we reminisce about the myriad Islamic terrorist attacks of the last 60 years?

Of course not. You'll expect "others" to lose their land.

Canada is literally the only G7 country without high speed rail.
Conservatives want you to continue to pay sky high prices for gas, worsen congestion on roads and make your commute hours longer.
We've been "studying" high speed rail for 50 years - time to get it built.
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca
Pierre Poilievre on the Toronto–Quebec City High-Speed Rail Network: "Conservatives oppose the $90b Liberal-Alto train ... a future Conservative government will cancel this $90b boondoggle altogether."
English
@LedenUnor @LinkofSunshine So, to rephrase your point; it's the Republican's fault because the Dems came up with a plan that no one read, no R voted for, could not pass Constitutional muster, cancelled existing plans, couldn't work as designed and increased costs?
Those dastardly Republicans again, huh?
English
@Faakew2 @LinkofSunshine It did slow the increase. Every legislative attack eroded the plan, the plan they were supposed to improve over time. Insurance used to have a lifetime max payout, and wouldn’t cover or accept those with pre existing conditions. The Rs messed up.
English
Ah yes, if we just give TOTAL control to the government, it will all be magically better. Just like the ACA, right? That worked out so well.
Medicaid LOSES money for hospitals, so if you want FULL government control, expect either massive increases in costs or massive hospital closures.
English
@Faakew2 @LinkofSunshine yea because they made the critical mistake of allowing the private health insurance industry to continue existing
