New York gives Medicaid recipients free Uber credits and for years gave free cab fare for medical appointments

The fact that every old person I saw using that service was unknowingly having that charged against their estate is loving with me right now

"Sure - take a $40 cab you loving poors...you're paying for it anyway..."

it's interesting that the article mentioned how many more people were affected bc of the aca's medicaid expansion. That was (and still is) an issue p. much entirely ignored by democrats at both the state and federal level, even when they have the power (and numbers) to change it.

how do you tell a lib theyve become a neocon? seems impossible

My mom didn't have much to pass on regardless after she died but it was a bit grating that the same system that refused to pay any medical expenses til she met a Your Whole Income Minus $400 spenddown every month (of note, her income was all SS disability after a lifelong career as a nurse because her employer for most of that time did an Enron with her retirement fund) felt entitled to all of that "not much".

I don't really know what the solution is to the problems of generational wealth but ensuring that poor people, specifically and solely, don't have any is probably not that solution.

you don't understand, israel unilaterally launching a nuclear strike against iran, while regrettable, is nowhere near as disruptive as iran having nukes of their own as a deterrent

i'm not going to engage with them, but something they're unaware of or ignoring is that if iran even shared its conventional surface to surface missile technology with the Houthis or whoever Saudi Arabia would be minus a few oil refineries, and far more crucially, desalinization plants which they'd probably notice the loss of in some p dramatic ways

i just want to underline the fact that i am not exaggerating when i say that this was a guiding principle of gwb foreign policy and i literally just had some dude repeat it to my face in defense of the dems

"The concern isn't the Iranian government giving it to "militias." The concern is two-fold:

a) The more extreme/extremist elements within the Iranian government (such as the IRG) gaining control over those capabilities or getting their hands on materials
b) Iran sharing nuclear secrets or materials with rogue states like North Korea"

look, Iran is stupid and insane so they can't have nukes, unlike us and our allies who are sane and not acting violently across the globe. I'm very well educated and smart. Great debate and discussion for adults.

i still like bernie, glad i supported him. it's not his fault dem voters loving succ.

I'm not gonna call you a sheepdog lib wrecker cuck or what have you, but I just can't agree. The only way Bernie could have won was showing a willingness to kamikaze himself against the party, and even if they didn't flinch and instead forced him to follow through with it in a loss, that was still the right thing to do. The party needed to yield or the spell of US electoralism needed to be broken, and Bernie couldn't accomplish the former because he was himself under the spell of the latter

I've posted it plenty here and I still mean it, I'd have gladly died to put the dude in the big chair if I could've, but there's only so much a useless loser can really do. Whatever phantom affection I feel for him now, I'll always regard it as an unforgivable betrayal that he surrendered when he had an army at his back
