  • Americans are slowly realizing they're living in a plutocracy

  • I absolutely agree with you on that. Although I see many of them are choosing to be super stubborn about it again spreading the 'vote blue no matter who' bullshit again. Already, before the primaries. I am so exhausted over it already.

  • There is a lack of class analysis among normal American citizens because of the work of the three branches of the U.S. government and state. The state actually works with mainstream news platforms, so they are at fault for that in particular. What you have just explained is exactly the work of both these things. However, there are a lot of academics such as Michael Parenti (who unfortunately died recently) who have talked about this extensively for many decades, and there are many left political commentary from from leftist creators online such as Kyle Kulinksi on YouTube. Many people are having the conversations, it's just whether or not the other people are willing to let go of the narrative they been fed this whole time to have us moving in the right direction at a faster rate.

  • Is US healthcare always paid even in the most extreme circumstances?

    Jump

  • Generally speaking, no. However, depending on the hospital in question and their policies, there are hospitals who will waive the cost if you are a victim of a crime. I happen to know this because there is a local hospital near me that do exactly this. Some other hospitals-- again depending on the individual hospital-- have programs where they can assist (or at least help somehow) with the cost for patients who are unable to foot the bill due of a lack of resources. But that is not every hospital, and more than likely you will be expected to foot the bill no matter what.

  • I assure you that many Americans realized that we live in plutocracy as far as ten years ago starting with Trump's first presidency. I think what many people in general are not aware of is that there is a difference between government and state, that they are separate, and the state protects class interests (aka the Epstein/pedo class). Unless of course some one in government decides to go against their interests. Which is why sudden deaths and assassinations happen at all. Congressmen in our government can absolutely try to get Bondi arrested and tried, but the state could and will try to protect her unless Trump decides otherwise or the state still finds her useful.

  • Americans rarely refer to the US as America

    Jump

  • I actually use both, depending on the context of the conversation and the people I am speaking with. I do this partially because I understand we are one of three Americas. If I am speaking to someone who isn't a U.S. citizen, I'll say U.S. But to other U.S. citizens, I'll say America because we know the implied meaning when we say it.

  • What’s wrong, babe? You barely touched your Spaghetacos

    Jump

  • That's a sin.

  • I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people (especially in the US) regularly demand that their food be chauffeured to them.

    Jump

  • The thing is that these types of services eat away at money anyway. It's better to go get the food yourself just to save yourself the money. If you must eat out rather than cook. Although, I understand that this may be more difficult for those who live in major cities such as NYC or LA, as examples. Food delivery has always been a thing for a lot of major U.S. cities. In my opinion, food delivery apps such as Uber Eats and Door Dash are not worth it or smart for many, if not most people.

    Be honest what are your thoughts on my living situation?

    Jump

  • I agree with everyone else. There is no shame to live with your parents at your age. Especially if you have a disability. Many people nowadays in our age bracket and outside of it can't afford to rent a place, anyway, with a job or two. So, why not take advantage of that as long as your parents are okay with it? I would definitely take this time to be involved with an organization or club, or anything that can definitely help you in some way.

  • No surprise there. It's good is being called out.

    Former President Joe Biden diagnosed with 'aggressive' prostate cancer

    Jump

  • What I find so annoying is how there are so many people (outside of this platform) who are just shocked and devastated about this news. I am over here like...the man is in his eighties. He is an elderly man. We should not be that surprised about some illness popping up at that age.
