Why these people absolutely hate this one guy is completely indeterminable.

it’s like the only thing dumpy really wants is to never be told no, regardless of how wrong his mistake is.

As you get older it’s no joke what kind of medical conditions can make something so simple end up being so difficult. 1/50 is not even a stretch.

I’m certain this can be disabled in windows at any moment as without it loads and loads of criminal evidence would be available for discovery and litigation against the wealthiest people and businesses across the world.

A real fear is being a worker in a world with micromanagers inspecting your workweek, 3 second snapshots at a time.

I’m not ok with shipping anyone to foreign prison camps. There’s zero reason why we should ever do that, with exception of a valid extradition request from another country.

Sure and Santiago is a horrible example. I was just there a few months ago. It feels the most like boston of anywhere else in latin america. When I was in el salvador I thought I was gonna get robbed at the airport, where they pat you down at each departure gate.

The wages are livable, the neighborhoods are safe(mostly), the housing is affordable, the food is terrible (compared to lima anyway.) I couldn’t get enough of the mountains.

In lima I was getting cased by pickpockets, in santiago I didn’t ever feel that way. Lima’s traffic is on another level. Santiago’s rush hour is much more organized and you have way more street lights and better drivers. In lima as a pedestrian you have to RUN so they don’t hit you. In santiago they stop and let you cross - something nearly unheard of in a lot of other latin american nations.

Education quality is a tip of the iceberg.

Talk to someone who went to a public school in say the dominican republic. I’ve heard stories of years of kids just waiting around with next to no actual teaching involved from someone who was physically there in their childhood. If you don’t go to a private school odds are you aren’t going to get any real education or structure beyond what you pick up at home… and odds are your parents were in the same boat.

The US education system has been nothing like that, it is going to get like that in the south though. In remote low population areas it’s very possible to get bad - and clearly some teenage pregnancies disrupt things in the US, but in the DR it’s a lot worse.

You should see major cities in latin america if you think that’s bad. In many countries it’s like they don’t even care.

The US has no excuse though, we should be way, way better.

I swear the nation of israel is trying to go down with the ship that is the trump administration.

No nation, or organization should be able to get away with murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians just because they want their land.

He’s certainly old enough to be significantly impacted by mental decline. Some have it happen much earlier than others.

shipping people to a concentration camp in el salvador without any due process sounds like a violation of many laws to me.

3300/6600 here. 6000/12000 out of pocket maximum though.

I’m basically dinged for 3300 whenever I need health services other than a yearly physical or an eye exam.

Every january we drop 3300 on meds for my wife and she gets eaten alive with copays for all her specialist visits.

The $1000 deductible plan my employer offers costs $1062/month for family and you still pay $40 per visit as a copay, and the employer is still dropping that $1500/month - so you’re effectively paying $30,744 to insure a family of 3 and that’s not all-in on expenses. Plus since $1000 is a “low” deductible you don’t get to keep basically anything you put into your FSA, unless you know you’re gonna use it all. Why medical expenses are ever subject to taxes is beyond me. The whole thing should be single payer… we could probably operate on a third of the budget we have today without giving any worker providing care to patients any kind of pay cut. The middle men (insurance) do very well.

They can only make profits off of something like 20-25% of overall revenue, the rest must be spent on “providing and improving” patient care. Hiring bean counters to make sure you maximize your revenue and reject as many costly applicants as possible is part of the “providing and improving” part, so they spend substantially less than 75% of their revenue on actual treatment.

That’s cute that you think $450 a month gets you an insurance plan. At that price it’s subsidized by somebody.

My employer sponsored plan costs me $300 a month and they pay $1200 a month. It’s still high deductible. It still covers next to nothing. My wife’s necessary life saving meds still hit the deductible each year, costing me several thousand dollars additionally.

Back then I don’t know who could have picked up the reins and taken over.

Vance didn’t have the following he has now.

Ramaswamy wasn’t white enough (I don’t think it’s possible for the right or center to vote non-white-male for president.)

Nikki wouldn’t have worked either, she couldn’t be dumpy and she also didn’t have a penis.

So it’s hard to say. I think the magat mentality is here to stay regardless of if dumpy is around, but the absolute control of the party probably wouldn’t survive him.

There is zero chance that tariffs will go away by trump’s own actions in the short term. He’s committed to using them as the method of paying billionaires off with their tax cuts that have us very underwater right now.

The trade deficit is just some smoke and mirrors that they are using to say “look how unfair they are!” and to decline any rational negotiations for free trade.

he might make short term pauses especially if he will get something from it for his buddies, but he’s not looking to use any other revenue strategy. He’s there to cut anything going to people who don’t vote for him or pay him (don’t forget that the billionaires all just kissed the ring with 1M for his inauguration party.) He’s just going to keep the trump sales tax strategy as his method of enriching the wealthy. Life is cheap when you make vast in excess of the taxed bare necessities with interest or dividends alone.

oh god utah. Can’t wait to see all the mormons without front teeth in 20 years.

Sir! Fresh off the presses, water is wet!

Can my line show up in the press now too?

Bravery or suicidal?

She told the cops ahead of time what the plan was. Did she expect it to go some other way?

She could’ve moved up to mass, i’m positive if she posted online someone would have taken her in to help her get a leg up in a part of the nation that isn’t full of bigoted ignorant dumpy lovers, but she didn’t.

I can’t see Florida, land of the insane, to rule anything on her side. That leaves appellate court or the supreme court… and I don’t see those going her way either.

Yeah, i’m not that deep into gender politics. I was just talking about somebody I don’t know, have never spoken to, have never met, and i’ve been relying on OP’s news article as my source of truth for all information about her.

She made the choice to be where she is. Here’s hoping she has an actual plan and she’s not just victim #1 like everyone replying to me is implying.

If she was just using the restroom without sending out a press release ahead of time so that cops would be there this would almost certainly not have happened. I just don’t know what this is supposed to accomplish in florida, land of the batshit insane people, especially with everything else bombarding us in the news. I get and agree with the desire to change things back to sanity, but I also know that my opinion is worth about as much as anyone on here.

You know, it doesn’t hurt to ask me instead of insinuating shit.
