I credit Dems with making Mitt Romney’s healthcare plan worse, by removing the public option - the thing that would have actually improved the lives of poorer people. Instead, we simply shoveled some 30mil Americans right into the pockets of predatory insurance companies.
The only silver lining from that legislation was preventing them from denying care due to pre-existing conditions, and that point has been an all out battleground ever since.

World News@lemmy.ml•Israel Targets Government Buildings in Syria’s Capital
1·1 year agoIsrael once again sets out to prove it is the top terrorist nation in the world. Top. Terrorists.
Part of the problem is that we, the people, don’t get to determine the requirements. Our elected representatives do, and wouldn’t you know it - corporations pay them off to siphon money to the richest among us and give us nothing in return. Legalized bribery is the bread and butter of American politics, it’s why things are so incredibly corrupt here and why we’re living in an oligarchy, not a democracy.
definitely feeling this content. as always, thanks for posting
They could have helped us by including the public option in the bill, as it was originally designed to include by republican Mitt Romney. Instead, they simply used it as an opportunity to shovel 25 million Americans right into the pockets of insurance companies. Then-senator Biden dropped the public option before negotiations even began, as a “show of good faith to his esteemed Republican colleagues.” They left the insurance requirement in though, and even tried to add a system where we had to report it with taxes if we wanted refunds.
The part BBB is fucking up is honestly a travesty to begin with. It’s what allows Walmart to operate without insuring their employees, specifically training them to earn under certain amounts and work limited hours so that they can go on Medicare instead of the giant multinational corporation paying their fair share for their employees’ health.
Do you see the pattern here? Fuck these corporations for buying our government and using it against us to rob us blind. Both parties do help them with this, and it has got to stop because we’re at a breaking point.
Dems constantly let republicans get away with “causing more damage,” yet never seem capable of helping the working class when they get voted back into power. It’s so disingenuous, at least Republicans are honest about their evil intentions. But sure, vote harder next election sweetie, and if you vote hard enough the still not prosecuted Orange Traitor will just cancel the election altogether.

10·1 year agoFiber is just better, period, and these Comcast fucks have been teaming up with the likes of ATT to fight it every step of the way. Organized regional monopolies, incredibly subpar service, inevitable price hikes, and terrible customer service - fuck em.
There are some distros which completely handle this for you, eg popOS. I game on Linux with a 3080ti and it’s ez breezy

Memes@lemmy.ml•What a shit show to catch up to, but give em hell Iran! Fuck Israel!
8·1 year agoI think another major reason for Israel to stoke this conflict is that it benefits Netanyahu politically. Without an active war he would be out of office and likely being prosecuted for his many crimes. So long as he can keep Israel embroiled in conflict, he can stay in power.
Iran has a right to defend itself from its terrorist neighbor.

This is only a problem because Americans continue to support Democrats. Unfortunately, we need to be even more clear that their corrupt and ineffectual politics are no longer desired than we did in ‘24, because the bozos are pretending they didn’t get the message. The corporate Dems work tirelessly to enable disastrous Republican policies all the time, usually at the behest of their common donors - they should just stop the charade and switch parties.
In the meantime, there are efforts to get leftist 3rd parties off the ground. This Is our only hope to “vote” our way out of fascism, and yes, I’m aware it’s a minuscule chance of success. People typically don’t vote their way out of fascism, historically speaking.

Agents are supposed to be self-sustaining automated services, this is a misappropriation of the term but perhaps it doesn’t matter as it’s all novel tech anyway. Marketing folks going to do their thing.






Israel is the biggest perpetrator of terrorism in the world. Facts being true don’t require a vacation to make them so.
