A VAT tax was floated by to pay for such shit, but was thunderously voted down. Americans don’t want taxes raised. True enough, too. We spend so much on defense we really should scale back and reallocate the money. It’s enough, but we could do better, implement a VAT tax anyway, and put THAT money into actually secure retirement and making state colleges free.
but shortsightedness and small lumps of money win out over common sense.
Yea. The ACA fell flat on its face and fucked over a ton of people. Free Health care is what should have happened, and not forced health care that costs an arm and a leg, and you get punished if you can’t afford it. They really did a grand job there. Hopefully the next guy in office just abolishes it and either goes back to the way it was (I hate spending money on shit I don’t use,) or fights for free Health care.
Can’t abolish it. Best you can hope for is traditional Americanism kicks in, and bit by bit, over the next few decades, you clowns will just keep tweaking with the ACA until it kinda works a little better.
But yeah, the end result NEEDS to be “here’s your health card, show this to a hospital and they will fix you” and that’s as much as you need to worry about it, on your end.
Like I watch movies and TV and see people fucked because of medical bills, or struggling to make ends meet while dealing with $60,000 in cancer bills, and I’m like ‘wtf is this???’ and I really disconnect. Like I just can’t fucking fathom it, at all.
his facebook is hilariously sad. it brightens my day when he cries about not getting a girl or being banned from the canadian fgc. he tried calling out brian james…and every single friend of his was like “you bout to get your ass beat…and possibly murdered”. everyone of his friends…lmfao
in other news so their fixing my cap, pain in the ass. but luckily i had a cute brazilian girl with her big ass tatas smothering my face. made it a bit less painful.
Just had my 2nd shit of the morning, and I was reading a really good discussion.
Women were discussing the letter that Jennifer Lawrence penned, about how female stars make less than male stars. Ignoring the fact that some actors/actresses are stars of a movie, and some aren’t, and some have different drawing power or other roles offering them more money, and all the other things that can affect a person’s worth.
Bradley Cooper’s response to all this was "Well before I accept a movie role, I will try to help my female costars get somewhat equal pay too."
Jeremy Renner’s response was “Not my fucking job. My agent does all the negotiating, I just sign a contract and take on a role, it’s not my job to negotiate other people’s salaries.” which is correct.
But of course the feminist’s had to come in, but surprise surprise, I actually liked their discussion.
They felt a disconnect from women like Jennifer Lawrence, and were complaining that every time a woman is bitching about how men make more than them, it’s shit like actresses, doctor’s, executives, etc. They brought up how it felt more like entitlement at that point, and wondered how they’re supposed to care that some rich bitch making $5 million a year wants to be making $7 million a year instead, when they’re struggling to make ends meet.
Insurance companies are more mad they are forced to use the money people pay into it to take care of sick people. So much has been stated. Their biggest fears with the mandatory 50-100 employee businesses is that only the really sick will sign up while the others, who aren’t sick and can’t afford the health care, don’t.
Here’s a funny loophole found in the law, taken from the NY Times piece:
That’s a really shitty oversight that politicians, who are almost all lawyers, even the goddamn President, should have caught. That means ANOTHER round of legal battles and/or rewriting of the law.
Hey how can one go about learning coding for game design and computers and software in general? Don’t want to enroll in something like Art Institute or Fullsail University because I can’t afford another student loan. Although I do hear great things about Fullsail University, so would that school be worth it?
Install Unity and follow the tutorials on the Unity website, you’ll have to learn C# but I think that can be done in tandem with Unity. There are loads of resources on the internet as far as coding goes. You just have to have the drive and find the time to grind.
Preventative care doesn’t really affect cancer, or random accidents though. People need to know that if something ails them, it won’t bankrupt them, period. Anything less than that is a fail.
After that whole Darkseid death in Justice League, I’m not surprised everyone in the team has some new god-like power. Batman in the chair, Flash becoming that dark flash shit, something happens to Superman and Green Lantern, etc. We just going full MvC2 now.
