I guess that's just the reality we grew up with and we're used to it as messed up as that sounds. There's always bankruptcy.

Obama could've codified Roe and he didn't. He ran on doing it.

That was happening under Biden too, they just weren't being as vocal about it. Also Roe v Wade was overturned when Biden was in office with a Democrat majority in Congress and they couldn't be bothered to do anything about it.

I've oddly had the best experience with United. Avoid individual at all costs. It's rough out there.

For me personally, I have a family that would be on the streets without my income. If I go protesting and get arrested, I lose my job and it's GG. I'm sure that's by design. If I was 20 years younger and didn't have as much riding on me I'd be out there making some noise.

Yes because even if Kamala would've won, even with a Democrat majority in congress, Republicans would've kept Republican'ing and Democrats have developed a habit of not doing anything to stop it because it wouldn't be civil or whatever the excuse of the week is.

I've heard Kaiser is pretty good. I had an employer suddenly switch all their plans to Kaiser, and we had to go individual because we had a few specialists we liked that didn't work for Kaiser. Plus i couldn't get a straight answer on what would happen if I got hurt outside of their areas.

Still too much to lose, plus the cops have surplus military gear.

Both parties are doing everything they can to make sure it doesn't.

I went to the ER in a wealthy part of the Denver metro with abdominal pain and a significant fever. I was in the waiting room for at least 8 hours for them to decide I might have a perforated bowel and I was admitted. It ended up being diverticulitis.

It makes my head explode when people say wait times are longer in countries with public systems because all the hypochondriacs will be abusing it. Motherfucker, wait times are ridiculous now.

A lot of people mark that as the downfall of the internet.

Trump winning only means we're ratcheting to the right at a slightly faster pace.
