I said come in! posted:People of color are not allowed to own guns in the United States. Granted this is not spelled out in law, but it's in how the police treats one group over the other 100% of the time. And the fact that gun control of any kind even exists in the U.S. due to black communities arming themselves during the civil rights movement. Remember when a black man told a police officer he was legally carrying a firearm and he was executed in front of his wife and child and the response from the NRA and white gun owners was next to nothing? They showed their true ideology that day.

Partially opening back up with minimal testing while cases are still plateaud or increasing while providing little government assistance is the dumbest possible choice so of course that's what we're doing in the US lmao

That is 3.5 million people that if they were to get sick with COVID-19 and end up in intensive care, or worst need to be on a ventilator, they would be in debt for the rest of their life. If you get sick in this country without health insurance, its better that you end up dying to be honest. Having a collection agency go after you for medical debt is pretty brutal as they take like 90% of your wages when you do finally get a job.

Imagine being so angry that people who would normally at best only be getting 300 bucks a week in your state now get another 600. But why would they go back to work? Yeah shitfaces, why would they https://www.businessinsider.com/lindsey-graham-congress-coronavirus-unemployment-benefit-over-our-dead-bodies-2020-4 quote:But Graham and Scott said these additional unemployment benefits would incentivize people to stay at home rather than return to work, to the detriment of small business owners. zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 19:25 on May 1, 2020 |

Or that countless retail, fast food, and other low wage workers are in red states where Medicaid access has been rationed and limited and aren't offered health insurance by their employers. That's if they still have jobs at all if they were working in the hotel, movie theater, restaurant, etc industry, which have been hit incredibly hard and hurt poor people the most. America owns because we have an entire underclass of low-income folks who are underinsured or have no health insurance because a considerable segment of lawmakers and society as a whole doesn't give a gently caress.

You'll never be able to afford a place to live, or be able to get a job. People in the U.S. without health insurance literally make decisions all the time about their health if its better to just ignore it and hope for the best.

Also, having them offline is nice in the sense that if something weird goes down (porn is illegal or porn hub gets busted for child porn or some other BS) I have them on a back up hard drive. Same with erotic comics. I’m starting to download as much stuff (not just adult content, think media I own and things like ifixit guides) as I can, on multiple hard drives. If the world gets truly hosed for long enough, not having to reply on the internet for stuff will be handy. It’s why I’m glad I still buy games physically mostly. Mods rename me Sad Porn Prepper

Graham added during a Q&A session, adding that "if a person is making $23 an hour on unemployment, it's going to be hard to get you go back to work for $17 hour job." Lol buddy, I'm an essential employee who works a white collar job and I don't make $17 an hour  People decided to protest the lockdown outside my office (city hall) today which doesn't really make sense because the city doesn't make that call, the county does. My state had been doing a pretty ok job with precautions considering our limitations of basically no PPE and testing supplies, but we keep having record numbers of positive cases. So no, I would prefer if you all stayed away from city hall, you don't need anything in here that you can't request via email, fax, phone or mail. I'm not getting COVID because you wanted to turn in your paperwork in person.

So the restrictions in france are to lighten up on the 11th of may, people will be allowed back to work and some stores will be allowed to reopen. A petition is urrently going around facebook with a bunch of people posting on it to open up the beaches. "Use the beaches but everyone will keep safe distance" to go surfing and for walks and whatever. Sounds like a great loving idea, surely no one will break the rules accidentally or anything. Our region doesn't have a lot of cases at least in case these people get their way.

My dad had a heart attack nearly a decade ago and the ambulance cost like $3k to transport him for five minutes, and one of the itemized bills was $90 for the aspirin they gave him. (The three(?) day hospital stay was something like $130k.) Luckily we had good insurance so we just punted the insurance and hospital against each other and they mostly left us alone, although not before trying to bill us for like $28k first. Nowadays it's not so simple, and in any case even if I was in a bad state, if I was conscious I'd at least refuse the loving ambulance ride because gently caress paying three grand. God help the people who are sick and have poor/no insurance, if the virus doesn't ruin them the debt will.

The last time I went to see a doctor at my local medical clinic here in Australia it not only didn't cost me anything, I didn't even have to fill in any paperwork because I'd been there before a few years ago so they already had me in file. I just walked in, identified myself at the front desk (name & address & date of birth), waited about half an hour until the doctor was free, then walked out after the consult. I didn't even have to make an appointment. Edit: oh I forgot, during the consult the doc went "Heyyyy fatty, when's the last time you got a blood test? How about we get that done so we can see how you're going for diabetes and stuff?" so she booked me in for that (it was a separate consult at a blood test office attached to the clinic) and then a third consult after the results came back to Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 20:32 on May 1, 2020 |

Declare bankruptcy! gently caress shame or we, the system is broken. This talk of killing yourself is overkill. Separately, my boomer mother is losing it. She cannot cope at all. I've known for weeks now that she is taking out her fear and frustration about the pandemic on me; as a fanatical Christian Scientist she has spent her entire life [it was even her career!] denying the germ theory of disease and the reality of any illness. It's been incredibly painful living with someone who hates me, I'm pretty emotionally damaged already. I am determined to preserve though, I am lucky enough to be in CA on UI so I drat well better suck it up. Today she finally said she can't cope in the midst of cursing me when she lost her temper over something I don't recall my cat doing when he was alive around 4 years ago.  I know this is kinda E/N, my real point is that boomers and brainwashed Fox news chuds REALLY can't adjust I think- we are seeing this everywhere. Already having realized America was super hosed up gives us goons a huge advantage in handling this novel situation imo.

FlamingLiberal posted:The billing is completely insane. My dad got sick and eventually died from leukemia complications in 2012, and I'm glad he had very good insurance because the bill for 8 months of treatment before he died was like $1.2 million. It's an insane racket that needs to be thrown in the wastebin of history like every other sane country has. Part of the reason why our health care system is so abysmal is because you have wealthy rear end in a top hat lawmakers like Lindsey Graham who have no interest in engaging with factual information or reality itself, which leads to him seriously contending that unemployed workers struggling during the worst epidemic in the past century were making $17/hour, instead of, uh, maybe $11/hour, after they lost their job working the front desk at their closed hotel... and that's a high wage for many workers in our terrible economy. The people who dictate health care policy in our hosed up horrible nation are so out-of-touch with actual society time and time again. That's one of many reasons why we've never thrown it in the trash.

I declared bankruptcy when I was 19 or 20 due to appendectomy. The best part was my lovely retail assistant manager was like "if you cut this shift I'll have to write you up" while I was telling him I felt like I was loving dying. It was worth it though because when I went back to work 3 days later I got to say "yeah they rushed me into the OR as quick as possible for surgery you dumb gently caress."

FlamingLiberal posted:The billing is completely insane. This reminded me to check my insurance carriers site for the status on a claim from a heart attack I had back in November. Insurance and the hospital have been playing volleyball with a 140k claim since. Seems that as of Wednesday insurance finally accepted a partially reduced claim and my portion is *only* another $125. I should be excited that is all it is but I already paid max out of pocket (3k) for last years claims. Makes me consider whether I should just shut the gently caress up and pay it and let it be done with or fight them over it. hmmm
