If I'm not mistaken parts of the SF Bay Area had measles parties like 10-15 years ago when the anti-vaxx thing was really becoming trendy. Parents would take their kids to try to get them infected. It's as stupid today as it was before. Fuck these people.

I've noticed that more and more seniors are entering the labor force after retirement and it doesn't have to do with keeping busy. One of my local grocery stores had a woman who would work a few days a week but she quit during Covid. Ran into her on another occasion. She said she quit because she was just doing it to keep busy and she wasn't going to work if she didn't have to. I don't see that anymore. If I make a comment about "keeping busy" to anyone who says they're retired they admit they can't keep up with insurance or property tax increases without working. We're going to see more and more of this as social security dwindles and prices continue to increase.

Yes and it also raises visibility for the very real issues that people have raised concerns about. It's one thing to detain and/or deport people without proper documentation. It's another to act as though people with the proper documentation who are abiding the laws are also being detained and/or deported. Say nothing for the US citizens who are also being detained and/or deported.

This would still respect choice while cutting back on the utilization of emergency services covered by insurance companies. It could lead to reduced costs and people who pay into insurance shouldn't be forced to pay for the negative health outcomes of people who willingly flout preventative health measures. It drives up costs for everyone.

I love that for every bozo who bought one in Florida now the we're about to enter hurricane season in a few months.

I want to scream now that you just reminded me of that. Saw an interview with GOP politician in some red tornado state complain about how they got rid of NOAA and imploring the admin to bring it back because they provide a vital service. Didn't have that on my bingo card.

They already tried "made in America" Apple products and they did not sell! Americans don't want to pay $5K for an iPhone when they can pay 80% less for one made in China.

That's why you have to keep asking them questions. Antifa did it? Why'd they get pardoned by Trump? They'll usually disengage or start hurling insults.

I mostly agree though I didn't really like Beauty and the Beast enough to watch it more than once. I think Cinderella was the better of the live action remakes that they've made. I also didn't see the appeal of the LA Jungle Book.

That is because both GOP and DEM are corporatist parties. They will not cater to working class people because those people aren't the ones throwing the most money at them. Left wing populism is nothing more than a tankie wet dream since citizens united.

Probably a combination of factors. Consider that pedophilia and sexual predation are anti-social behaviors and that people who enter into higher/high level politics or business have anti-social tendencies as well. You can't run a district, company, city, state, country, etc. that require you to sacrifice for the imperatives you're seeking. You can't get bogged down by caring for people. You see them as a means to an end. Objects with utility.

Oh well. These people entered government willingly. They are the deep state.

You don't get what I'm saying. Insurance companies aren't making the choice for consumers. Consumers refuse to take preventative health measures, that is the choice they make. Insurance in turn, refuses to provide coverage to them because they willingly cost them more in the long run. Medicare and Medicaid, what will be left of them, should also refuse to cover them. Let these consumers cover their own healthcare costs.

What do you think an effect of that $5M gold card is going to be? Good luck continuing to compete with institutional investors and ultra wealthy.

Multiple economists overwhelmingly stated that his policy proposals were inflationary. MAGA accused them of being "liberals" and disregarded their warnings as fake. Working people aren't going to be saving anything unless it's by a sheer cut back in their spending as they try to save money. And of course saving won't matter if Trump axes FDIC.

Did he get a new jawline in addition to hair-plugs and what looks like artificial abs?

Well that sucks but they sure as hell won't be able to buy one "made in America" either. The raw materials for batteries alone would have tariffs on them as well. Unless we have massive amounts of cobalt, lithium, copper, silicon, cadmium, etc, to be able to produce these items domestically, working class and middle class Americans will not be able to afford them.

The state my dick was in.

I think I read that about 20% of USian adults are borderline illiterate. They probably cancel each other out.
