*inhales deeply in American*
Nothing beats working a ten hour day, paying a third of it to daycare, spending the next two hours listening to my kid cry, then washing his face with a cut up old t shirt before collapsing into sweet slumber on a mattress with bullet holes in it
hedging their bets that the bipartisan scraps they throw us later in exchange for gutting SSI and medicaid will be enough to appease the surviving masses as the haves can afford to resume normalcy while the have nots die in amazon fulfillment centers and substandard apartments
tech bros have always talked about UBI replacing current welfare systems; i’m sure disabled people (and childhood is disabling in this society) are a calculated bipartisan cost in the march to automation and AI in the rapidly shifting economy “post covid”
every time i trim a chip bag now i’m gonna think about the fact that tens of thousands of people also thought this was just their own private neurotic behavior
every lead-poisoned relative is saying stuff like “i tested positive for covid but the vaccine side effects were worse than this, not getting the booster” and have no idea how ridiculous they sound
We got vaccines that actually did make Covid roughly similar to the flu (if you're vaccinated!) and a milder variant, and now people are saying, "See, we told you it was the flu!" So stupid.
@thotscholar right, and with how easy it is to be sanctioned from TANF, it can leave child support in limbo anyway, punishing everyone and benefiting no one.
@thotscholar most people don’t know that if you apply for TANF, you HAVE to cooperate with child support enforcement, but even if they put it in place, the state only sends you $50 and takes the rest as payback for you receiving welfare
Why hasn't @GovJanetMills mandated vaccination against #COVID19 for corrections officers and medical staff and anyone working in our jails & prisons? Wouldn't you recommend vaccination for these people?
@tonygovtphd @bennessb it means your neck spine curves the wrong way, (which is usually due to a whiplash injury,) but there is no fracture so no evidence it happened from any one specific injury (i have the same)
It's not enough for conservatives that they be allowed to ensure that the pandemic goes on killing people month after month after month, but they insist they must also be spared from both criticism for doing so, and even the sight of anybody else trying to prevent it.
the worst thing about masking is that it’s just lying. NT people want and need you lie to them so they’re comfortable, no matter how distressing it is for you.
Barcelona has banned short-term private room rentals. The new rule, the only one of its kind in a major European city, adds fuel to the debate over how the city can protect its economy while reining in excessive tourism and addressing housing problems.
