@cafreiman political myths that refuse to die:
that SS and medicare are somehow handouts even though you pay directly for it your entire career. if your dumb ass wants to cut it off suggest a way to pay back all the money that was stolen.
@Eusapient@beyond_capital the current right wing literally took ownership stake intel, forced a private media company to give up control of its US division, looking to take more ownership stake in openAI. maybe look at the party in charge before you scream about a communist boogyman on the left.
@bullfrog2651@ZaidJilani private for profit healthcare 5x's the admirative costs for hospitals as they make getting claims approved a nightmare as the fight tooth and nail to deny coverage and keep the money they milked from you and your employer for decades. nice try though
@bullfrog2651@ZaidJilani the government is forcing employers to provide healthcare right now...as we speak. that money can either be funneled towards for profit companies who's sole purpose is to maximize the amount they get to keep, or to non profit govt ran insurance whos duty it is to provide .
@Gabby_Hoffman can you retards at least update your red scare playbook from 1950. democratic socialist countries operate just fine while maintaining private industry and private property except you can get healthcare, childcare, housing and education without going bankrupt
@MissD1131464@SharylAttkisson these are administrative jobs because private insurance tries to drown you in administrative bullshit in an effort to avoid paying out claims.
@Eusapient@beyond_capital no country is socialist, they're social democracies that maintain capitalism and private ownership that levy higher taxes for social programs. this isnt 1950, the red scare is played out and boring.
@Patrick53437@cremieuxrecueil yes half the things are cheaper ie junk manufactured overseas and half the shit is more expensive. its nice to have a 20 dollar tv but if you can afford a place to live it doesnt make your life better.
