Happy fucking New Year!
I have a clinical colleague who worked in the US for a few years. I think their description of US healthcare is best summarized as follows. Has the potential to be the greatest on Earth. In reality, the quality of care provided is far below European standards. She was mortified to discover that diabetics routinely had below knee amputations whereas in the rest of the world, with the exact same clinical picture, care would be provided to prevent worsening of diabetic foot.

The Republican eugenics plan is working.
This is mass murder
FREEDOM!
Soon there will be a critical mass of people who have nothing left to lose
I both welcome and dread the day.
Yeah, I think a lot of people want to speedrun this happening without realizing that in reality it’s just gonna lead to a lot more crime and a lot lower quality of life.
The glorious revolution that results in a brand new glorious era for America is not that likely to happen in this scenario. Most revolutions don’t really turn out that great, if you ever even get to the revolution phase as everyone is just robbing and killing each other out of desperation.
We already got the 1% robbing us blind into the grave. It would be nice to make this into an mutual arrangement.
You’re probably going to need to track down some thermite to breach bunkers.
Cement for the vents and doors would do fine.
But there’s stuff in there…
Jackhammers also exist. The cement would only need to be there for like few days.
Fer sure. There are plenty of people that need to suffer consequences, but suffering is an equal opportunity employer.
everyone is just robbing and killing each other out of desperation.
So like any day of the week ending in “day”.

Unfortunately a non-zero percentage will just say we need to keep doing the same shit except more and harder.
And keep voting Republican
Remember when the government was shut down specifically because the Democrats refused to go along with a bill that ended the health insurance subsidies, and they had the Republicans up against the ropes because no matter how much they tried to dodge the responsibility, the majority of people blamed Republican intransigence for the shutdown?
Then remember how the Schumer-led Democrats just completely folded, passed the bill, then stood idly by as the chance to extend the subsidies vanished?
Every single one of those stinking traitorous shitbags needs to be primaried.
Yes, primary all of them, but ESPECIALLY primary Schumer and Jeffries. They are absolutely toxic to democracy. If someone is claiming it’s a bad idea to primary them, that person is working against the people on behalf of the rich and corporations. Just like current Dem leadership.
So, the problem is the “primaried” thing isn’t enough at this point. People are going to die because of these choices. Eye for an eye.
definitely a comment that would get you banned from reddit
And even though it won’t get you banned here, it surely is being documented by Palantir and putting us all on “lists.”
Fuck Palantir, it’s Google that’s the devil.
Don’t fear the state, fear the profit driven corporations.
They’re the future, and it begins now.
I don’t think you understand the depth and breadth of what Palantir does, and who uses them.
I am fairly confident that’s what all these AI companies and GPUs are for to make their own Palantirs or just to run their software. Palantir is basically creating Skynet or any of those cyberpunk type movies where a cop plugs in a persons name and it gives every detail of who they are and a summary of what they did the last week.
That has basically already been done to Palestinians with Microsoft Azure
Which is strange since Republicans usually love bible quotes.
Fuck this self-righteous political violence
The political violence has already been perpetrated upon us. What we are talking about now is political defense against a violent aggressor.
You only say that because you’re in favor of, or not directly affected by, the direction we are currently going.
Paid shill or useful idiot. Either way they should join their masters when the time comes.
The guillotines are thirsty.
What? The media was making the democrats out to be the ones shutting down the nations airports.
Go ahead and turn on the democrats and further empower the republicans. You might be a russian troll…
Guillotines would fix this lickety split
That seems like a morbid sort of healthcare plan
'Tis a sharp cure, but good for all ails.
No more headaches.
That’s all well and good because at least Musk is on his way to becoming a trillionaire!
Real talk, why the fuck hasn’t there been a West Wing-esque or some sort of satirical tv series that literally just showcases exactly what has been going on for the past 2 decades? Sure there was House of Cards and what not, but I’m talking a literal 1-to-1 copy of all the shit Trump and Republicans have done for 20 years?
That would be more valuable than all the fucking ads and text messages we receive from the DNC, combined.
Because the people who own media companies want Trump in charge.
It’s what the people wanted so let them have it. MAGAts need to feel the consequences of their own actions.
It’s what less that 30% of the population wanted.
A problem is that with our system of government, if you have .001% majority in all three branches the other 49.9999% get absolutely no say in anything.
It is what it is. Nobody here would be complaining if dems had the same .001% majority.
Because that would never happen, left or center left leaning people are the majority
It’s going to be another tough year funneling taxpayer money to billionaires and corporations. Midterm elections are the best most peaceful route to making 2027 a better year. In the meantime tighten your belt and hunker down.
And help your community in any way you can.
I’d rather people get to work on fixing things now than wait until November.
Me too, big time. But our officials elected and otherwise seem to be mostly riding it out. Except quite a few non-supreme court judges.
Pedo traitor party doing what they always do. Which is everything they can to harm average Americans.
Gonna be a lot more Americans that hate America going forward. Let’s see how that turns out.
Hey y’all. Stop voting for fucking conservatives or doing things that allow conservatives to have control, like not voting or voting for 3rd party candidates that literally cannot win because they are members of non-viable parties that haven’t done anything to make themselves viable.
Disgusting behavior MAGAts.
Which INCLUDES Trans and Brown CHILDREN so this is OK with Me!
-Republicans who Follow Jesus Christ!
Conservatives would crucify Jesus Christ if he returned from the dead. Too woke.
I mean his return would go over badly in general… He basically preached how people shouldn’t worship him and make a religion out of him like all the time. He would probably shun most of his 2.6 billion followers if they didn’t reform the entire basis of their religion.
That’s not even to mention supply side Christianity… I don’t think Jesus can smite or is even allowed to harm, but I am sure he would have some scathing notes for his dad who is much less hesitant about causing harm.
It’s so sad that these republicans can never fully comprehend the depths of how much the Jesus they worship would absolutely loathe them.
There’d be whole books written about feeding the poor, housing the homeless, healing the sick, dining with the sinners, and deprogramming the republicans.
