“I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone.
Every day, older patients call us confused.
They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link.
Some of them do not know what a portal is.
Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.
He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.
He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.
But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.
Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.
Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.

This is one of the BIGGEST SCAMS, and no one talks about it. You buy a truck, but you're not allowed to fix it because "You could get hurt?" So instead, they force you to bring it in so they can "fix" it, which is 10 times more expensive than if you did it yourself. @Ford
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, says that US Government raising taxes doesn’t do anything to help the average American
He says raising taxes does nothing because Congress just launders the money to their friends, special interest groups and “17,000 lobbying groups”
“I don't know anyone, and you guys in the room, you might be Democrats, Republicans who thinks that sending another trillion dollars to Washington D.C will actually improve anything. So when you say raise taxes, if you said raise taxes and directly give it to the people who need it, do it. That does not happen. It goes to all these interest groups, and they give it to their friends and all that.”
“Which is why the people are considered a swamp. It's kind of a swamp, the 17,000 lobbying groups. But bank companies are guilty too. They're just fighting for their one self-interest as opposed to what's good for my country”
My insurance is trying to determine if they're going to cover Littlest Mans NICU stay and called with questions.
Ins: Why did you pick X hospital for your child?
Me: I didn't, I was told after I came out of surgery at Y hospital that they were transferring him to X because it was the closest NICU and he was not breathing on his own reliably. They'd already started the process without me.
Ins: Okay and why did you pick Y hospital initially?
Me: Well I was actively bleeding out from a ruptured placenta and it was the closest one, I was trying not to die. Are you not aware this was an emergency c section at 34 weeks? And also Y hospital is in network.
Ins: Yes but if you had gone to in network hospital Z you could have transferred to an in network NICU.
Me: *Googles* That's 2.5hrs away. I was bleeding out. I had to receive 2 pints of blood and I was only bleeding for 30 minutes before they started my transfusion. I would have been dead if I drove there.
Ins: Well it transfers to the appropriate NICU for your plan, next time please try to go there.
Lol okay, next time I'm pregnant and bleeding out I'll be sure to do that. This is insane.
@5149jamesli Look into a V See box it has all the streaming services for no monthly fee – just the cost of the box. I read about it on another X post and was doubtful, but I was able to cancel all my streaming services. Walmart or V See’s website.
@MorningBrew Look into a V See box - all the streaming services are on there with no monthly fee, just the price of the box. I learned about it on another X post, was doubtful, but I bought it and was able to cancel all of my streaming services. Walmart or V See’s website.
@TheStevenDwayne Get a V See box- all the streaming services are on there for no monthly fee, just the price of the box. I read it on another post and wasn’t sure if it was true - it works great! Walmart or V See’s website.
THE HUNTINGTON COUNTY INDIANA NEWS ·
Steve Harrison · ·
OPINION...
I’m being taxed on money I never made. Let that sink in.
I bought my property outright for $138,000 in 2001.
Now the county says it’s worth $246,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $246,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper — and now I’m being billed for it.
If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.
If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax.
So why does owning a home work differently?
Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?
A house isn’t just an investment — it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.
You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.
This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.”
It’s about being charged for value you never received.
And people are starting to notice.
Congress: exempt from Obamacare mandates. COVID mandates. Freedom of Information Act. Insider Trading. They settle sexual assault claims with your tax dollar anonymously.
And they get to skip the line at the airport.
Soon we’ll have to bow and call them “My Lord”.
I want to see politicians held to the same standards as everyone else.
Waiting in long lines for flights.
Working 40 hour work weeks.
No more taxpayer-subsidized, high-tier healthcare.
No more legal immunities.
No more voting on their own salary increases.
No more burying their own misconduct.
No more lies.
Equal justice. Full on transparency. They’re not royalty, they work for us.
Quick questions:
Whatever happened with Nancy Guthrie?
Whatever happened with the Somali daycare thieves?
Whatever happened with Ilhan Omar committing treason and immigration fraud?
Whatever happened with the Autopen Administration?
Whatever happened with Leticia James going to jail?
Is it just me, or is everything being introduced into the news cycle just to distract from everything else?
"News" explodes for a week or two - then POOF, gone like it never happened.
No trials.
No consequences.
No RESOLUTIONS.
Just silence, and a new outrage takes its place.
And we the people get THE FINGER again.
This is why I cancelled my Fox News.
Because if NOTHING is EVER gonna happen to the REAL CRIMINALS...
...why do I need to know about the crimes?
@CultureCrave Get a V see box, all channels are free after purchasing the box. I was able to cancel ALL streaming. They sell them at Walmart or on their website.
I have to VENT! Yesterday, my guy went to @WellsFargo in Florida to withdraw 7k, in cash. The teller called the manager over, and he asked what he was using the money for. My guy said, how is this any of your business? The manager said, we are required to ask. Then he told him he would have to come back tomorrow. My friend went to @TDBank_US in NJ today to withdraw 3k, and the teller asked her what she was using it for. My friend was furious and refused to tell her. WHAT IS GOING ON? THIS IS OUR MONEY! We earned it, paid taxes on it, and it we want to take it home and burn it, we can do that! Has anyone else experienced this?
> The US collects $2.4T in income taxes
> The fraud & waste is $1.5T
> If we got rid of fraud, we'd only have to collect ~$0.9T
Anyone earning <$500k/yr could pay nothing. Literally $0 in taxes
We don't need to "raise taxes on billionaires", we need to cut fraud.
NEW ‼️ FDA Commissioner Marty Makary announces he would like the FDA to make essentially all prescriptions “over the counter” and no longer require a prescription in America
“In my opinion, everything should be over the counter, not requiring a prescription, unless it's unsafe, unless you need laboratory tests to monitor how it's being received by your body, or if it could be used for some nefarious purpose, or it's addictive.
If it doesn't meet those criteria, why shouldn't a drug be over the counter”
