Thanks for the added commentary. There should be more of this in schools.

Ah, that explains why he had all those communists and socialists killed. He must not have liked competition from other socialists.

That’s a fair take. I would like to point out that Hitler and other Nazis admired and took inspiration from Manifest Destiny in the creation of their Lebensraum.

Tissue, bandage, bricks, far right extremist authoritarian. Remember, if it doesn’t come from the Germany region of Europe, it’s just sparkling fascism.

That’s about 240 million meals for schools and the less fortunate, or a year’s rent at the US median for about 50 thousand people or 6% of the unhoused population, or a year’s worth of healthcare for over 6,000 people at the median cost (way more than that if it just covered preventative care, which would lower the overall cost of healthcare).

I won’t shed a tear, but Vance won’t be better.

It’ll be framed as “freedom” and “protect children.” It’s not entirely wrong, in a way. It will certainly free many Americans from this mortal coil and protect children from a needle stick.

Decoy Gax.

I don’t actually know, but good question! I pulled it from Pinterest:

Don’t judge me.

I have some thoughts on that:

Over in the US, the Federal government is starting to care more about its citizens with disabilities, too. A new act will be increasing eligibility checks for medical coverage from yearly to every six months, using more “thorough” (by which they mean more “complicated”) forms and requirements. It also introduces a work requirement, so people with disabilities who lose coverage by administrative error will not have access to alternative coverage while they dispute the miraculous cure of their long-term disability.

Co-pays are increasing, in many cases, by a factor of several and the act is reducing the cap on taxes that states can charge to providers by about half. Also, while states won’t face penalties for accidentally denying coverage to eligible people, they will be facing new financial penalties for accidentally covering ineligible people. The Federal health program, Medicare, is backed by the joint Federal and State program, Medicaid, so this means more costs are being pushed down to the states, meaning less funds to cover eligible people.

Moreover, the act establishes a home equity cap of USD $1,000,000. That sounds like a lot, but its only twice the median American home price. $1M rules out most multi-bedroom condominiums in urban areas of large metropolitan cities. There are people who will have to take on a mortgage or lose coverage.

The US government has taken a new and special interest in its citizens with disabilities: squeezing them and their families for every last penny.

I’m using this, and sharing it with everyone I know.
