is oklahoma a gently caress-you-got-mine shithole where companies can inadvertently destroy city infrastructure without repercussion, or have they been brought to heel by state?

Apparently he tweeted out a picture of an alleged copy of Obama's birth certificate that lists his birthplace as Kenya. His Twitter feed seems to be run by a 16 year old edgy alt right teen. Apparently he also called his brother a cuck last week lol. I'm pretty sure whoevers running that Twitter feed is not really Obama's brother.

I actually misread that post as "Malia Obama" for some reason and wondered what kind of a ruckus a kid could be making on Twitter.

Even if I were a total sociopath who cared nothing for anyone but myself, I'd say that these short sighted policies damage our economy thus they harm me. So even from a pure emotionless robot point of view the GOP policies are moronic :shrug:

Actually, it's cool and good that I get sent to the hospital by an urgent care doc who says I have appendicitis. Get to the hospital, get a CT scan, and get told actually we don't know what's wrong so maybe try stop eating?? Pay my deductible then get a bill for 22K - two weeks later and insurance decided they were only covering 20K of it.

This is an unironic good thing and I'm glad we as a society think this is acceptable and maybe I should just bootstrap the pain away??

I don't understand why you would be mad at the insurance company for paying 20k rather than the hospital that charged 22k for a scan and wrong advice.

The price-gouging these hospitals do is ridiculous.

They do it for 2 reasons though; a) bc the insurance company will pay that amount and b) because if they don't charge people who actually pay up that much then they would be out of funding bc of all the people who get treatment and can't pay.

If people could afford medical care and you removed the group of people whose sole purpose is to get between you and your doctor for profit, prices would go down.

It's like college tuition. They're so high bc they know students will qualify for the loans. Stop letting everyone take out $60k in loans to get a poo poo degree and give unis that money directly instead of slashing their funding and tuition would go down.

I think I can be mad at both!! I have enough anger to go around.

In case anyone's curious, the CT scan cost $15,500 lmao. It took forever and several "lost in mail" responses before I finally got a receipt

I didn't even see the er doc until I was released, and I was charged 2K for her time lol. Also, despite running a bunch of tests, the rest only cost like $100. 90% of the bill came from the doc, the Ct scan, and the "how dare you come to the er" fee.

Not buying this one.

There are state college systems which only started charging tuition once black and Hispanic students started coming in. And not necessarily in backwoods states either.

And then there's the fact that anyone who has ever been in student "government" anywhere will tell you that state-funded unis can't manage their budget for poo poo either.

the alt-righters i was referring to were more the old-guard alt right who resented the frog-rebranding (spencer is a basement 4chan nerd who loves anime so hes pretty sympathetic to the frog). i guess if there are none of the old guard are here then my initial statement does not apply, and i will cease Laughing My rear end Off over it, sorry
