Tired Moritz posted:legit confused why america don't have universal healthcare. Even my garbage 3rd country has universal healthcare lol You know that experiment with 3 year olds, to see if they have higher reasoning. The one where you offer them 1 candy now, or 2 later if they wait 5 minutes. Americans are ALWAYS the kid who takes the 1 candy instantly, then bitches and cries that someone else might have waited and got 2.

Bob NewSCART posted:Hahaha I just read an article that said pretty much all of the republican congress is fighting to have obamacare removed in place of.. states being able to obtain waivers for insurers to charge whatever the gently caress they want. IMO it's a perverse faith in some kinda social Darwin capitalist market Stockholm amalgam. I remember some woman on npr talking about how wrong it is to expect other people to pay for you to eat lobster every day. You need to live within your means, even if you have to eat only hot dogs. She then applied this to health insurance. Thing that gets me is stuff like healthcare shouldn't be market based. Maybe it's a system that works for certain things, but jfc these are human lives here. But people get INTO it, revel in it. I know a chick who claims to be Christian As gently caress, but she has the most vicious ideas. There's a lot of people who think of themselves as good people but have an underlying layer that's so goddamn ugly. I really think it's some kind of undifferentiated, unexamined mass of ideas that gets picked up and calcifies into a set of strong beliefs.

The thing that pisses me off the most about Trump is that he'd basically be a hobo right now except banks are universally run by complete morons and they loaned him so much money that they'd all go out of business if he just said "gently caress You" and stopped paying them. They were basically forced into reworking all his debt.

Quote from an old courier guy who used to pick up a route every night from my work - "You know all of these fat cat politicians keep ganging up on the one guy running who isn't a politician and who tells it like it is.. Things really need to change, I already know who I'm voting for.." Not too long after that statement I would never see him again because he had to get a hip replacement. LOL, have fun dealing with the insurance company your lovely courier service set you up with, Lowell.

That's why they ignored the racism, sexism and stupid bullshit he said. Have you listened to his speeches? Listen past the dumb bullshit and he talks about our corruption, how our politicians are bribed and how it harms working Americans. He talked to the coal miners and said he help them while Clinton stood in front of them and said she was going to take away their jobs. Trump tapped into real working poor frustration because no one has done that in 30 years.

I've said it before, but Trump is the "Hope and Change" candidate for these people.

I lol whenever I do a quick comparison of trump's inaugural address to whatever his latest speech is People talk about Obama and Bush having their lifeforce drained by their presidencies, look at trump's change in just over 100 days. Even if he never gets impeached he's rapidly destroying a body that was in terrible shape to start with

Kind of the same mentality that leads to people like Ben Carson believing they are 'one of the good ones' and talk about how they are proud they don't act like thugs, you know, like most other black people If you've ever spent time around trump ladies, there is a lot of criticism of other (usually younger) women, how morals in this country have decayed, how the skirts are too short and they're glad they werent raised to be shameless hussies like these darn millenials Also met some 30-something trump ladies and for them it feels like more of a smug turnabout thing, like "well you think I'm not allowed to vote for trump?

Any bank will loan any amount with personal collateral like nyc property. Its easily the simplest get tich scheme: start with the most expensive property in the us (lol), borrow on it, buy more expensive property Repeat You can do it yourself too! What do you mean your daddy didn't give you a million dollar property when you turned 18? Ps this system still works for the less rich in places like charlotte, phoenix, etc

Yeah, in one case the lady in question is just running for Republican office so she kind of has to play that game until she gets elected, more power to her, I get it. She has really reprehensible opinions about poor people but she'd be more sane than whoever she's replacing, at least For the other ones that are single moms and working class I really don't understand it

I live in Ohio and from what I've gathered from living here my entire life, people who are mid 40's-50+ years old, especially people who don't have children have never had a computer or the internet. Their only 2 sources of news is cable/dish TV, and the newspaper. Less and less people get the paper, and I only ever notice them reading local and sports sections. I don't think I even need to name the ONE network these people watch for their news..  Brainwashed idiots.

Trump has no plans other than telling the coal companies they can literally bomb the mountains to get the last fragments of coal out of there and also they can dump their poison wastewater into the rivers.

I AM THE TOILET posted:Clinton had $30bn earmarked for relief in Appalachia. Exactly, Clinton said she send some money to an area. Trump said he'd help YOU personally. We feel politics, that's why you can't fact check someone to death. gently caress those mountains, my life is on the chopping block and I need help, I have bills to pay and I'm getting older with no retirement coming and I can't afford my car payment, please will someone help me? That's the narrative and it's powerful.
