Alt text: C’mon Dad don’t be so lazy. All you have to do is get out there and work 80 hours a month and you can have your healthcare back!

80 hours a month sounds great!

Whaat, disabled are supposed to somehow work?

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

In America yep. You can't qualify for disability (at least in my state) unless you're permanently blind, quadriplegic, or have worked a certain number of hours in the last few years. You get a disability at 14? Cool, hope your parents enjoy fighting with the disability claims people every other day! Until you're 18, at which point you get to basically start all over again!

Played a game years ago with myself. If I saw a headline mentioning a new or proposed law, without political attribution, I would guess Democrat or Republican. The game consisted of asking myself a simple question:

Does this bill hurt people?

Didn't matter who, or even if I felt they deserved it. You can guess the results, and I wasn't wrong a single time.

Also attempting to privatize healthcare, because no one could possibly suffer from that.

They don’t care.

Project 2025 says the ideal US population number is around 100 million. That means we need to shed about 250 million people.

This is all according to plan.

Dad needs to pull himself up by his bootstraps and stop expecting handouts from his health insurance. /s

Worst part is the racist old bastard probably voted for the orange guy, too.

Just like those who died while on a ventilator throughout 2020 in their barely open (and now probably shuttered) rural hospitals swearing every moment that the vaccine would have been worse... coughing up blood until passing out - never to wake again.

Seems like we're missing the face that it's stealing money that has been paid into it. Unless those lines on my pay stub are bullshit.

*For an amount of money which they would brag to their friends about wasting

Also, forget all the times before that we did this and there was no job growth or increase of wages from it, this time it will be different!

258,000,000.

I'm sure people are going to get sick and tired of reading it, but that's what this all ends with.

And democrats did nothing to stop it
