@GGrajab@shipwreckshow This is mostly a true statement. The problem is the US produces mostly light crude, while refineries require heavy crude. So what we pull out of the ground is largely unusable without retrofitting all of our refineries designed for heavy crude out of the Middle East.
@end3of6days9 Who do these peasants think they are demanding food, water, and shelter in exchange for their work? They should be grateful we let them sleep in their car in our parking lot. The sense of entitlement with these people. /s
@frozen_mangoes@MatrixMysteries This is the way. Former insurance agent here. Most private plans won’t pay for pregnancy. It’s not worth it IMO. Employer plans are ideal, if available. Public plans from https://t.co/usUrPwuqsY will pay after a max out of pocket is reached but will be expensive.
@MatrixMysteries It’ll really chap your ass when you learn that the money the bank loans and taxes you on didn’t exist before they loaned it to you… fractional reserve banking only requires them to hold 10% of what they lend you.
@Mousemeta@AMAZlNGNATURE Ran across one on a hike up to clingmans dome with my two daughters in Gatlinburg. They’re actually pretty chill as long as you don’t fuck with them. I believe it’s the most visited national park in the US, so they’re used to people.
@MsterRb4@Mappy6984 Stoic Nihilism has been so freeing for me. Limit material possessions, living in the moment. Release the ego, feel the sun on your face, while appreciating your own mortality. Cherish the beauty of nature, connections, family. Filter out the rest of that noise. The veil lifts
@CNviolations That thing looks Rabid - Make sure you always get a rabies shot immediately after any animal bite. It’s certain death if you fail to do so when infected.
@KevinSabet The majority of Americans want to decriminalize or fully legalize it. Kevin may find himself voted out of office if he pursues this stance.
@MatrixMysteries If it’s an easily treatable illness or condition I’ll go to the hospital and pay $20/month for the rest of my life. If it’s something serious, like a heart attack or stroke, I’ll let myself die. Hospitals must accept payment plans, even if it’s a minuscule amount.
