My brother in Christ, this concern started many, many years ago. What do you think was happening before "Obamacare"??
You're right, maybe I should have said outraged or afraid.
I guess it just feels like our system is reaching that toppling point
My brother in Christ.......
For fucks sake you give me the adjective you want then
I don't like the way things are. They have me worried our system is on the edge of collapse. Honestly the collapse has already started. Do you prefer pissed and terrified?
Does this work better: 🙃🙃🫠🫠🫠😡😡😡😡
It's not about adjectives. It's about timing. Everything you say we "must be X or Y about"? People have been feeling that way since before Obama, because before Obama's administration, the healthcare system (or insurance companies, I dunno) were royally fucking over tons of Americans regardless of political affiliation.
My, precious, sweet brother in christmas. The moment for realising the healthcare system of the states is the most hellish on the planet was twenty years ago. Your contrymen does not want health to be sure they have clearly stated many times that the lobby industry is more important.
This has nothing to do with me having feelings on the matter. Me being afraid of what's to come does not exclude anything you've said
'If this is true, we should' is a call to action, not a bad one, it's intention and your feelings are in the right place. However, the time to react to your government not providing healthcare to its citizens the pot has been boiling over for more than two centuries, it's been on fire for longer even. Your peers have been dying all along, your likeminded have moved away, or started trying assassination, rebellion anything desperation calls for, as they are killed off one by one because the meds they need to live are price-hiked beyond human comprehension as that's what the lobbying industry sees and uses for income, that industry is your pride and all the deaths along the way has never been hidden from you
I was not trying to call any one to action. I was expressing my dismay over a worsening Healthcare system.
You've read in about a paragraphs worth of extra to my expression of worry. An unnecessary paragraph full of things abundantly clear to anyone living in the system
That was exactly my point and I'm glad you explained it to him.
We're waaaay past the point of realization and adjectives.
