Someone hit my dog because they were looking at their phone.

Wasn’t the car.

For decades, American roads were steadily getting safer for pedestrians. But around 2009, the trend reversed.

We wondered why.

Most other wealthy countries haven’t seen similar increases, suggesting that smartphones don’t tell the whole story. https://t.co/t7sFzmNcY0

Someone didn’t like the bad PR from the Met Gala and all the bad press about his super yacht.

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.

It’s all so tiresome.

The corrupt UN wants to pass a resolution blaming Europe for slavery.

"it will label the European-led slave trade as history’s greatest crime ... the 1,300-year-long Arab trade in African slaves will not be mentioned."

Heard a new one: insurance company denied treatment because the patient lives in PA… and his doctor is in PA.

Insurance is the biggest scam in America… and that says a lot

[The Phactual Pharmacist @phactualpharm]

I’ve seen insurance companies do this with cancer patients. It’s a sick game of chicken. They hope the patient dies before any appeals win…

Insurance is the biggest scam, hands down.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

American Doctor Caleb Masterson reveals that 50% of patients that have been approved for a prior authorization before surgery, then have their coverage denied after the surgery is completed

He says UnitedHealthcare is the insurance carrier doing this scam

“Half of all united Surgeries that are prior auth approved get subsequently denied”

Americans health insurance companies are running a racket

He says they make them jump through more pointless hoops just to get the same approval they already had. The are dragging out the process hoping people give up

Had a convo with a Swede & an Indian about marriages. Sat politely for 10 minutes listening to how the Swede thought Americans were too materialistic about weddings & said nothing about Indian weddings.

I stopped taking them seriously after that, they just hate America.

[Labrador Skeptic @SaysSimulation]

This thread did numbers in Europe overnight, 1.5M and climbing. Ratio is ~50:1 in my favor, but as usual, the negatives are the most interesting.

A large portion of Europe absolutely hates America. This isn't really Trump, they hated America before Trump,

There are meds that will legitimately make you gain a ton of weight, she’s not wrong…

The correlation to blue hair and the lack of critical thinking skills should be studied

This map makes it much clearer when you consider Trump has been saying we need a golden dome.

[Hunter's Crack Pipe @PipeHunters]

@st_louis_stan @CovfefeAnon Well articulated. I largely agree w everything written, though this is, IMO, the driving rationale behind the Greenland acquisition-- it's not a land grab, it's a necessary hardening of our defenses.

This is why you don’t see any celebrations in Venezuela after Nicolás Maduro was captured.

When I see this, I assume this side is losing.

Very likely two hours of absolute agony. But sure, Lila. Sure.

[The Phactual Pharmacist @phactualpharm]

Affordable seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting here…

It’s almost like Inflation Reduction Act that did not help reduce inflation…

[Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand]

Without key Affordable Care Act tax credits, a person making $65,000/year in Tompkins County, NY would pay close to $10,000/year for health insurance. And that's the cheapest plan available.

If Senate Republicans let the tax credits expire, people won't be able to afford health insurance. Period.

[The Phactual Pharmacist @phactualpharm]

Weird, I’d want it to fix American issues like drinking water in Flint, MI…

[Justin🦩Boldaji @justinboldaji]

A billion percent would rather have my tax money go to immigrants in the ER than fuckin Israel lol

[The Phactual Pharmacist @phactualpharm]

I’m sorry, but if you believe in letting ppl die in the ER because hospital staff are too busy dealing with illegal aliens overloading the ERs with head colds and flus and using the ER as a primary doctor, then we really aren’t having the same conversation

[Hayden @the_transit_guy]

I’m so sorry but if you believe in letting people die in emergency rooms because they don’t have proper worldly documentation it’s an affront to God.

[The Phactual Pharmacist @phactualpharm]

… uh, exactly what do you think professors do? It’s the Socratic method of teaching.

Honest question, how do they come up with these rankings?

[Hayden @the_transit_guy]

50th ranked in education, btw.

Heroine is not the same as heroin.

Unearned superiority is really undercut by these little errors

[The Phactual Pharmacist @phactualpharm]

No… Tylenol has been around longer than most FDA safety & efficacy standards, that’s why.

And the liver tox issue isn’t just for kids, that’s well documented for a long time for anyone.

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

🚨 JUST IN: RFK Jr. reveals Tylenol use doesn’t just have links to autism, but ADHD and LIVER TOXICITY in children as well

Why is TYLENOL available over the counter but Ivermectin is not?!

Because our politicians are OWNED by big pharma. But RFK Jr. is telling them to get lost.
