This is the world laughing at you…
The rich are laughing at the idiot poor people who think this helps them
My mother is in her late 60s and is diabetic and needs Medicare for her insulin, this is going to killer and countless others.
The cuts are to Medicaid, not Medicare. Although the debt is increasing so much, there may need to be cuts to Medicare in the future to account for the increased interest payments
I didn’t have any hope to shatter.
If you can emigrate, now’s the time.
If you can’t, now’s the time to buy guns and ammo.
This, coupled with the corrupt Supreme Court deciding presidents are above the law and that courts can’t stop unlawful executive orders, means this nation’s collapse is imminent.
If you can leave, seriously consider it.
How? Where?
I’m one of the privileged people to have studied engineering and was able to move to Germany relatively easily (due largely to luck and some good planning). If you qualify for an EU Blue Card that may be an easy path towards a new life outside of the US.
If you are in college or younger it’s easy to start making plans to give you your best chances of success. And if you’re retired, approaching retirement, self-employed, or something akin to a digital nomad you should have less problems moving somewhere close like Canada or Mexico.
Not saying it’s easy, but there are paths. The cool thing about borders and countries is they’re all made up. French people need the same goods and services as Americans (with variation of course) and thus most labor is needed in most places. With declining birth rates nearly everywhere, the smartest countries are opening their borders to immigrants or have been open for a long time.
Big Billionaire Boondoggle
On the bright side:
The vote was 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie after three Republicans joined all Democrats in opposing the legislation
The Democracts actually stood against Trump.
Even Fetterman?
Hold up… Some republicans stood up to trump/didn’t vote party lines? That’s surprising!
Goddamn, America
RIP
Relevant username.
I saw. News is still more fixated on the Medicaid cuts and rural hospital closures, rather than the ICE part. The rich people getting tax cuts extended was obviously going to happen either way, though.
rural hospital closures
Less MAGAts is a good thing. But I do feel for the non-MAGAts that need those hospitals.
I mean, I felt the same urge but at the end of the day we shouldn’t be pro-death. They might paint us that way, but doesn’t mean we should cheer the death of rural communities, lol
I’m actually a huge fan of death. People don’t change their minds generally. They just die. We make progress one funeral at a time.
Trump taking a big beautiful shit on poor people and still causing the debt to go up. MAGAts must be proud.
Are there protests? Are people lining up in DC? I feel like the left is just broken and disorganized and losing on every front.
Maybe Americans shouldn’t have stripped all power from the left’s representatives and given it to fascists.
The next protest will be the one! So long as nobody gives Trump a reason to make a mean tweet about the protests and there are at least 6 viral signs held up, he’s done for this time
I do feel like protests need to transition from “We’re here with signs” to “No more labor until these problems are addressed,” but I don’t know how to get from here to there.
More cities need to be like Philadelphia apparently. They are striking.
Seriously, just stopping and forcing the assholes to show their hand is at least a start. People then agreeing and dumping their garbage on the government for causing the issues is a great second step.
I’m just so tired of everyone just continuing on like it’s bold to do nothing but pretend like it’s normal and decorum will get us anywhere.
A lot more people unemployed and un-homed. We are altogether still way too comfortable. I still have way too many gadgets that facilitate escaping.
Are there protests?
There are protests near me. I’ll probably go on Friday. Check out what’s near you: https://www.mobilize.us/
I’ll see you in the streets on the 4th
Nah were waiting for someone else to do something.
One of the more notable was a lopsided 99-1 vote to kill a provision in the package — written by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, the chair of the Commerce Committee — to establish a 10-year moratorium on state and local artificial intelligence regulations
Well, at least they offered a warm towelette while fucking everyone but the ultra wealthy.
Everyone hates Rafael Cruz’s fucking guts
siiiighghhhhhh
ohh well I guess. if things go well, cool
if everything goes to shit, I won’t have to go to work anymore… cool
And the judicial branch of government is officially dead.
Yup.
Stripped of power to keep a mad king in check.
Now we pull up a seat and watch this nation collapse in realtime.
LET THEM EAT return2ozma’s CAKE day
Hah! Thanks!
