Republicans are destroying our country. They are sick fascists.

wearing a mask shouldn't be a political statement.

So sad, so true

The aholes in the government want you to believe nothing you do will make a difference. They are wrong, it’s all propaganda. They want you uneducated, poor and too busy to care or pay attention, it’s evil, it makes the USA weak and vulnerable. It’s why the illicit drug scene is thriving. Watch some Robert Reich YouTube videos and hold onto whatever hope you can. Vote, write letters..do what you can to be a part of the solution not a part of the problem

So true. All these bastards should be in jail, including the orange stain!

Lots of issues with prescriptions and access to care that need to be changed.

Had a huge debate with a nurse back in the 1980’s when the medical system changed from being compassionate snd having the patient be the main focus to having the guy who writes the checks be in charge of care. I said this is going to flat out till people, she disagreed. Sure enough within a year young poverty stricken kids with serious multiple medical problems began dying. Within another year free clinics were popping up to care for rural patients. One of the suits at Aetna insurance went to visit his father in rural Maine, read the paper advertising the free clinics, got up at 7am convincing himself nobody would show. The line had started forming at 5am and was a quarter mile long by 7am. Dude stayed all day, learning about how bad things are. He quit his job the next day, could not stand the contradictions of the opulence his company afforded him and those turned away from care fir “previously existing” issues or who lost everything due to outrageous billing practices.

Don't forget the ultimate 'feat' of the 21 century - the Great Wall of Trumpia.

Thoughts and prayers are one thing. Actually *doing* something is quite another

It took me a moment to realise the first tweet actually came from a legitimate account

So, these are apples that grow on peoples trees. Extra apples, you give them to your neighbours (or people walking past)

That's appalling and unforgivable. So very sorry for your loss and that you live in the US.

Some Americans. Please don’t disregard those of us fighting every single dah to change things (it’s what many of us boomers are use to doing, and instead of acting like a Chandler Halderson by calling us names and acting like spoiled brats you millennials might want to pay more attention, many of us have been doing this for decades and know one thing is true about persistent common sense ideas and policies and getting things done, but we will keep that tidbit close to the vest until you learn to play nice together).

And yet people in America constantly trash struggling fellow Americans…the disabled, the poor, the mentally ill, homeless vets, as if those people wanted to be in those positions. Then they are victimized again for self medicating because in reality there is no access to effective affordable long term mental health professionals. Yet few complain about the BILLIONS of dollars going to Wall Street welfare or to the losses the 1% cost everyone in loss of taxes due to the hoarding of billions in off shore accounts

Also this doesn't really illustrate how people don't help each other. If the crabs simply didn't help eah other, one by one they could just pull themselves out of the bucket. It illustrates how people love to actively mess with each other.

Exactly.

I remember hearing about this years ago and was appalled at the injustice. I understand that the homeless man got more of a sentence because he was armed with some sort of weapon but he was desperate and needed the money to survive. Maybe if there were better services he wouldn't have had to make that choice. He even felt remorse and handed himself in. The CEO did it out of greed, tried covering it up and showed no remorse.

Republicans are warmongers. Bush should be in jail for his WMD lie. Trump should be in jail for treason. It's bullshit.

Its time we actually had the Punisher around.

I feel this. My husband had cancer. He was only 60 and it took him fast. Here I sit, still devastated, knowing I used all his life insurance to pay medical bills, and now I lose my house in June because I can't pay $4600 in property taxes. Is this the American dream? We both worked and paid taxes for over 30 years!

Seems like it? Our politicians are greedy sell outs.

"I won't wear a face mask because I am not gonna live my life in fear!!!" ... wears machine gun because you know, just in case something scares him.

As a European we will take your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Life expectancy for males in the USA is ranked 39th. That's not something to be proud of. https://www.worlddata.info/life-expectancy.php#by-population

If it ain't white, it ain't right. ~Donald Trump.

Hungary should not be on this list either. We don't get automatic (mostly) free healthcare like in the UK. (Well children do.) If you're an adult, you have it as long as you're employed and the insurance pay is deducted from your salary, or you're self employed and you pay for it. When you lose your job you can still have it for a little while if you're a registered job seeker, but after a few months that's gone too. From that point when you have zero income you can only keep your access to healthcare if you pay the insurance rates. You know, out of your zero income. If you don't, you're not insured and you'll only be treated if it's a life threatening emergency. The pandemic took away lots of people's jobs and I'm sure not all of them had enough savings (Hungary is one of the worst when it comes to people having savings) to pay for a continued insurance, therefore saying 0 lost their coverage is just not true.

i dont get why you even have to pay for your health

Not true, there are some very brilliant people working hard every day to try to change things for the better.

If I recall correctly, weren't there several tweets and similar wondering why Obama didn't do more to prevent 9/11? That man hold so much real estate in their heads - amazing how threatened they feel by someone with more intelligence in his left foot than in their entire bodies. (And I'm not saying he was perfect, not by any stretch - he was just a well educated man sandwiched between an idiot and a moron)

I never understood why they just don't cut out the interest. Apparently it pays more to service these loans every year than it is worth keeping them.

Can someone translate WTF that food is supposed to be? I can make out the applesauce but the other two?

Ooooh I felt this. Hard. Hard truth.

The USA didn't abolish slavery. They just re-branded it.

My cancer medicin is US$7.000 a month but I am a lucky to live in Denmark so I get it for free

We actually were prepared. Obama had set up a council for just this contingency and we had plenty of stocks of the above. Trump disbanded it, when he got into office and sold off the supplies, because...Obama.

And being a woman or a woman of any other heritage that white European.

A Black Friday sale on health insurance plans? Seriously? Ugh!

Wow, that headline is REALLY insensitive

I sooooo wish there were more police officer supervisors like Sheriff Grady Judd in Florida. He advises his newly hired officers upon that he expects the citizens and visitors to his county to be treated well, that officers will be held to a higher standard and anyone unwilling to get on his program or is foolish enough to test his authority are immediate dealt with and they are publicly shamed.
