If it isn't called The Giant Spoon I want no part in it.

I saw this and gave him an upvote in solidarity. I was gonna comment but don't really wanna deal with contrarian bullshit stress today.

I'm reading Killing Hope in chunks and according to that text, it's unsure who did what to start the actual Korean War but it sounded a lot like the whole ass scenario was basically a powder keg waiting for any spark.

I've also read that a majority of the population was for communism.

I also read that McCarthy tried to unexist all of North Korea until China intervened since the US was shitting all over their doorstep.

People say "learn history" as if there isn't 4 different accounts depending on what narrative you are after.

Like sure guy, what history do I need to learn to satisfy your western take on a situation that happened on the other side of the planet 40 years before you were born?

Is this revisionism?

So this will be us Millennials' 4th or 5th once in a lifetime crisis? I've simply lost count.

I might. I feel like I need to do a full unload post to just get shit off my chest.

I might wait for an update on if we are gonna be allowed to get chip.

I can't help but lose it every time he gets sick though. He has basically been sick for 9 months straight with 104 fevers and a bunch of tests that always come back with nothing. It sucked before but we at least had some form of health care but now we are on the glorious ACA and I just... I don't really get it.

But like every time this happens I just go back to this mood of pure hatred towards our healthcare system. I can't help but feel like every one of my family that are against universal care would just be fine if my baby died from his 10th fucking bout with pneumonia because this time he isn't covered. I will never understand how people who call themselves Christians would be ok with poor people suffering because they couldn't afford our outrageous health care prices. It will never make sense that we could pay 8% for example to cover everyone but people would rather go the selfish route and pay like 30% for their employer picked healthcare.

Would you say this is a solid source? I don't use SQL that often but each time I do I end up having to relearn it all over again. It would be nice to just have a single source saved.

Fast update but found out that he does have pneumonia. So like treat him out of pocket and not get benefits, or what, let him possibly die from untreated pneumonia?

[–] roux@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Insurance here is also about 30% of our paycheck.

Right now I'm unemployed, we are on ACA, the affordable care act benefits. For people outside of this shitty country, that Obamacare. Our toddler is sick. We are trying to get our kids on CHIP, which is actually affordable benefits for our kids. Just found out that when my wife took our toddler in for possible pneumonia or liquid in his lungs, that since he isn't currently covered, if we pay for this visit out of pocket, we could be denied CHIP.

So like what the fuck are we supposed to do?

30 acres sounds like a farm or something which probably means he owns some form of capital lol. Poor... he can get the fuck out of here.
