I dont care if that happened yesterday, in 1979, or 1879.

That is mind blowingly, insanely inhuman behavior and I hope with every fiber of my being that this motherfucker gets skinned alive and thrown in a tub of salt and lemon juice.

Race is close because the news media has a vested interest in it being close, so they are very selective to not report on anything that could crush trump out of the running. because contention and conflict drives viewership and ratings. So does another Trump presidency, and the media has dropped all pretense on who their preferential candidate is for that reason.

Which is why they spent a month harping on the mass hallucination of Bidens supposed mental incompetence, yet havent done so much as very briskly brush by the same topic on trumps very obvious, very public, very recorded decline. or his increasingly nazi-like rhetoric. or him doing anything that would have anyone else out of the race if it was reported on properly

Do you think it’s fair for someone in Illinois who has no benefit of Florida beach front views pay the price to fix a snowbirds vacation home over and over?

You’re right. Its not fair for people to have lower insurance costs and a single unified pool.

It obviously makes much more sense to pay 3x the amount to a national, private insurance provder, have them take most of that for CEO and executive pay/bonuses/benefits, and then close offices and cancel policies in florida because they cant “afford” it.

Fuck off with your right wing bullshit already. You aint masking half as well as you think you are with this project 2025 shit.

Definitely not $1,100/yr because replacing just a single broken window costs $1,100.

Gee, if only there was some kind of pooled money that people could pay into so they could cover such things. So people could pay small, affordable amounts to get taken care of and helped if tragedy strikes them.

You know, like spreading the risk out, like some kind of…insurance?

And besides, Sounds like you specifically just want to hang people out to dry in Florida for the sin of living in Florida since you conveniently neglected/ignored the biggest part of my post about where does the line get cut for telling people they don’t matter because where they live.

And of course, I doubt you’d be so “Well I dont deserve help cause its my choice to live here” when disaster strikes where you live, or your mother, or family live. I bet you’d be full of righteous fury and indignation if anyone dared to say that to you.

But its different when it personally affects you, right?

It wasnt a half measure.

Its just, when you roll out a revolutionary change in the way things are done, like the ACA was, there are going to be issues that pop up after rollout that no one could predict.

Which is why you need follow up legislation to address those unpredictable holes/cracks/issues.

and unfortunately the only way thats gonna happen is with a supermajority of democrats who have the cajones to just ram the shit through without playing games and without trying to get the republicans involved, because the republicans will stop at nothing to prevent anything they see as a “win” for democrats, no matter how much misery and suffering it causes the American people. They’ll watch their own mothers suffocate to death from preventable disease rather than let the dems have a “win”.

and to top off the absolute miserable bastardry, they’ll then run campaign ads for the next 12 months talking about how democrats are mother-smotherers

Unbounded risk-taking such as insuring people building houses in risky locations will lead to bankrupting the country.

Bullshit.

Its a drop of piss in the ocean compared to all the ridiculous shit America wastes money on every single goddamn day.

ACA only sucked cause Republicans blocked every attempt to address the faults and issues that only became apparent after rolling it out.

Hey, thats all the more reason for us not to have it.

We’re America, god damnit. American Exceptionalism demands we pave a different path. A rugged path. Like the men of the wild west! We cant use the same idea everyone else has, thats just filthy socio-communism!

/s

So just stop helping people in florida specifically?

Or we just gonna go full republican hatemonger and tell everyine from California earthquakes, To Midwestern Tornados, to Northern Blizzards, and more, to just get bent and that they should have thought to live somewhere without regular disasters? That they deserve what happens to them for “choosing” to live there?

“Why should I have to pay for YOUR kids to go to school?”

“Why should I pay for social safety nets when I’m well off?”

“Why should I pay for roads when I don’t drive?”

Because there will come a day where you may need the help, and it wont be there cause your pigheaded myopia, and then you’ll cry and cry about the unfairness of it all and maybe, just maybe, if you have a functioning neuron in that brain of yours, that maybe the fraction of a cent of yours that actually goes to help people isnt such a bad thing afterall

Have to be heavy duty e-bikes. most americans are probably too heavy for normal ones that have a weight limit of like 200lbs.

Stop building on the coasts in general. leave them as natural barriers and wonders, rather than having a 800 foot tall hotel 3 feet from the seawater.

This is why insurance should be nationalized as part of your taxes.

Anyone thats not a brainwashed rightwing lunatic would see that paying 100-300 dollars a year on taxes would be a hell of a lot better than 100+ dollars a month just to buy a CEO a golden parachute and another yacht

But as long as right wing lunatics are out there literally hunting aid workers and evaluators, its never gonna happen… because they want misery, pain, and destruction. its why Project 2025 wants to get rid of all of it.

Are a good idea, yes.

Many places intentionally hamper them to make them useless to perpetuate the idea of government incompetence and to deny the peasantry easy of access and transport, though.

Especially when they are slower than just straight up walking.

Just cause the big guy called Trump a fascist doesnt mean there arent plenty of supporters down the chain of command.

and now, they are wanting to sell games for 70-80 bucks for AAA titles.

Its not cause the games are 50 dollars that they arent making enough hundreds of millions. The only reason these AAA games arent making bank is because they’re shit

Can anyone honestly remember the last AAA title that wasnt an absolute dog pile?

People keep saying SNES/N64/etc games were super expensive…and i just wanna ask where they were buying them?

Cause everytime I went into the stores to get one they were 49.99.

Yep.

When you fear for your life you keep firing. at least a few shots, if not emptying the entire mag.

This was an assassination.

regular reminder that digital distribution was sold to us under the false promise that games would be cheaper, because they wouldnt have to pay for printing boxes, CDs, manuals, greebles, Wouldnt have to pay for shipping or storage, or any other burden addition of physical media.

That we’d be able to buy games for 30 dollars, and that that the developers and everyone involved would make more money than they would have paying 50 for a physical game.
