  • This shit pisses me off. Fix our damn healthcare system for fuck sakes.

    We don’t fund the mental health services needed.

    We fuck over chronic pain patients treating them like addicts.

    Many are disabled on both sides. We expect them to fill out paper work with every “I” dotted and “T” crossed. You screw up once? Now you start over. Many places that could offer real help just won’t take state aide because they take forever to pay.

    If you do have a job, even below the poverty line but just enough to have insurance, welcome to ridiculous copays and deductibles.

    It pains me when I’ve seen someone making progress with mental or physical therapy as a path to coping but fall due to one paperwork or appointment mistake withdrawing those services without a safety net.

    They won’t treat the root cause for many by just going single payer and de-privatizing health care. Need something to campaign on to funnel more cash to our military complex.



  • What is the point of being dismissive of parent’s concerns and straight up misrepresenting what they said in the last “quote”?

    I’m in favor of making the law gender neutral, and quickly without having answers to all these questions.

    Doesn’t mean there won’t be unintended consequences that aren’t worth discussing to get ahead of them.

    My gut reaction is if its legal in public does that make it legal in the media? Will publishers and advertisers use this to further objectify women? Even though I’m asking these questions, I’m 100% in favor of gender neutral laws for media and advertisements.

    My off the cuff and likely unrealistic solution that has nothing to do with gender is to just ban most forms of advertising out right. This includes never requiring users to make the “choice” to agree to any ads in the terms of services in order to access goods and services (e.g., gas pumps, accessing a bank account, etc.).






  • This is the excuse my employer gave. So I’m to take a pay cut (gas, wear and tear on my vehicle, loss of time to commute) so I can spend more money to prop up other businesses for a tax break that is likely to go into some rich ass C-levels bonus or shareholders pocket for cut costs?

    Fuuuck that. Its just another way of picking the labor class clean to the bone.
