  • Haven't these MFS been saying they won in a landslide have a mandate since January? Or am I just imagining things?

  • The Democrats are asking for the following:

    • Extension & expansion of health-care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This was set to expire at the end of 2025, and would drive up insurance costs for millions of low-income and middle class families if not subsidized.
    • Reversal or protection against Republican-led cuts in Medicaid / other health programs. The BBB removed a lot of people from Medicade coverage, they want to prevent it from getting worse and guarantee protection for US citizens.
    • A meaningful say in any continuing resolution (CR) or stop-gap that reopens the government.

    Essentially, Republicans are trying to ram through legislation that fuck over a lot of people. Democrats are trying to prevent a lot of people from being fucked over, and have essentially told Republicans that you need to work with us on these things....like, you know, a functional government is supposed to do.

  • Not sure if you're just blatantly ignorant of what's actually happening or if this is just an attempt to smear Democrats, but it'd be nice if a Republican could take the extra 5 minutes to actually read about what's going on. I'll do it for you (you're welcome).

    Sen. Hawley introduced the "Keep SNAP Funded Act of 2025" on Oct. 21st. It's currently with the Senate Appropriations Committee, as of that time. It's not likely to go anywhere though as REPUBLICAN LEADERS, are not prioritizing it. From a Politico article, there were several quotes from Republicans stating that they don't want a stopgap, that it doesn't actually fix the problem.

    But hey, it's so much more convenient to just blame Democrats for every problem, isn't it?

  • You know how much specialized farming equipment costs? That's like you owning a plumbing business and the government then screwing over your business somehow and someone going, well, you can always just start a electrician business. Like, sure you have some basic tools that might crossover, but it's an entirely different field that you know nothing about. There's significant risk as you know very little about that new crop, you may not have connections for distribution, you might not be scaled correctly to handle the nutrient or water needs. It requires extensive planning and if you fuck up one thing in that crop (i.e. you now have a weird blight or mildew or destructive animal you never planned for), you could be properly fucked.

  • The tariffs are absolutely fucking up our country right now, and I live in the US, and we absolutely deserve it. It's affecting every single one of my projects (I work in an engineering/manufacturing company). Turns out 10-25% tariffs really cuts out a lot of the margin for people so we've had to significantly bump prices on aerospace components. This in turn will drive ticket prices up eventually as well. It's also affecting our groceries. And then the side effects of all of it, is the boycotts from numerous countries. It's absolutely crushing our trade.

    That said, all of the boycotts are absolutely fantastic. Keep it up. Our lead-addled half of the US needs to understand what isolationist policies do to our country. Maybe it'll be the wake up call that people need to understand that international cooperation is the key to success.

  • I always understood it as your immune system gets weaker from being in the cold and makes it easier for viruses and such to propogate in your body. We're constantly fighting off minor infections and disease, and thankfully our immune systems are pretty strong....cold does not help it.

    I'd say this one is sort of true...in the right context.

  • Bummer to hear that your still constantly in pain then. :/

    I've used it for joint and back issues and it's absolutely been a game changer for me. Helped with a couple pretty bad burns as well.

    Anyways, good luck. Hope you find something that works.

  • Mate, I'm going to urge to to try cannabis gummies. Your body actually has natural cannabinoid receptors that help regulate your mood and pain management. Cannabinoids are 100% natural. I wouldn't recommend smoking, because I feel you on trying to avoid poisons and such, but cannabis is such an amazing and natural pain reliever for chronic pain. It's also anti-inflammatory so it helps massively for burns, bites, scrapes, etc. It can also help boost your mood.

    If your worried about "getting high", CBD gummies do the same thing but minimize the psychoactive THC from the mix. Let me know if you have any questions.

  • I mean, we've seen what ICE does to non-white people with no actual evidence. Christ, I'd want to go back to the evil I know, rather than the evil I don't. I wouldn't want to end up in some random prison in some random country for the crime of having the wrong skin color or ethnicity.

  • Yeah, but the people controlling him, like some sort of geriatric meat marionette, are that smart. They are the ones putting the Executive Orders in front of this senile bag of burgers and controlling exactly what he says. The only time you get a glimpse behind the scenes is when he nervously flagilates on Live TV and doesn't have a prompter to guide him along.
