i am harry posted:“No, insulin is worth $20, not $200, and if you don’t take our $20 you get NOTHING.” This doesn't work because if the healthcare company says "fine, we'll take nothing" the citizens all die. You need the government to step in and say "insulin is worth $20 and if you don't take the $20 we find or create someone else who will".

Civil Service should be done by people on the payroll full time with bennies. I'm all for something to get people involved in building up civic projects but even 'digging ditches' in this case is taking work away from full timers that can demand a decent enough wage and giving it to labor you can low ball. Edit: Also, I tend to chafe at people even using the term 'digging ditches' disparagingly. Setting aside that the term originally came about to indicate do-work type scenarios that served no purpose than to give someone an hourly remittance (due to, you know, the loving great depression that was going on at the time) but trenching for various aspects of construction is actually a serious thing that needs to be done properly.

Rent-A-Cop posted:Median household income: $96,325 Do you live in the DMV? That doesn't go nearly as far as you would think it would in this area. Like, it is a shitton of money but is normally eaten up by the astronomical cost of living in this area because everything is so loving unregulated that landlords charge a kidney every month for rent, you are required to have a car to get anywhere, and let's not forget healthcare! Fritz Coldcockin posted:She just hit her 1Q goal. Maybe keep the jury out on whether there's enthusiasm until the end of Q2. Yeah. I don't understand why everyone is so "nothing matters" about this candidate. Where is the energy of "VOTE IN ACTUAL PROGRESSIVES" that everyone yells when we go on a Dems Bad derail? Do we forget that Crowley was the exact same kind of shitstain that Hoyer is and he got ousted by the same campaign she is running? And Pressley? And Omar? Tlaib? Like, it really feels sometimes that y'all like to talk a big game about progressivism but when Goliath is on the field you refuse to pick of a sling and start throwing stones. Cmon goons. We are better than this. We have a chance to primary a collaborator, let's go to work. i am harry posted:I loving HATE HIS poo poo. Unions work. Collective bargaining works. Strikes work. Medicare for All is a unionization of all Americans needing healthcare. It should be framed as this because this is how it works; cost of care goes down when 350million citizens together say, “No, insulin is worth $20, not $200, and if you don’t take our $20 you get NOTHING.” You are telling me! It costs less for me to use a loving coupon for my meds than to use my actual work insurance...

Raenir Salazar posted:I think there's a misunderstanding here; I wasn't sure if even under UHC if gender confirmation surgery is covered 100% or not; just googled my province's policy on it, it seems like in Canada the healthcare system does provide funding, so it's a question as to whether it (UHC in the US) would realistically provide 100% of the cost. If M4A or UHC/SP doesn't provide 100% then a mandatory service that provides the remaining % whatever it may be wouldn't be bad. In this hypothetical leftist policy paradise, I think it should be assumed that UHC comes first, independent of civil service, and that it isn’t transphobic. Especially given that M4A is one of the big policy tentpoles in this current cycle. Tying healthcare to service seems like a really good way to perpetuate a lot of the same problems we have now under the current system. The whole model of employer-provided insurance is already incredibly effective at keeping people on a short leash. Why would you want to open up a government works program to that same kind of abuse, to say nothing of the graft opportunities?

I have already won, but the system is rigged. I am the most transparent president in history, but you can't investigate me. I let everyone testify. WaPo - Trump says he is opposed to white house aides tesitfying to congress VantiyFair - The white house escalates its battle to keep Don McGahn silent DRAIN THE SWAMP! ________/  I bet when this guy snores, even those are somehow lies.

Man, come on. Stupid derails over this poo poo get started because someone always feels the need to defend comfortable upper-middle class salaries as being anything other than comfortable, and it's loving stupid. $90k or more per year is a perfectly good household income anywhere in the country, even in insanely high cost of living areas. It's fine to acknowledge that people who are financially comfortable have very different voting priorities than people who are not.
