@Alittledrewish@mmm_lemonheads@pattonoswalt Is believing words written by some dudes ages ago a prerequisite to being American? It makes no logical sense to "believe" in the Constitution (or the Bible)
@MMatvikov @emilysnowau@DavidPocock I don't think the problem is where they want to look. I don't really think someone should make $60 an hour to help me fold clothes and drive me to the shops, but they certainly should to care for someone who needs lifting, bathing, etc. But aged care workers don't even make that.
@MMatvikov @RosscorpLtd Honestly the NCIS doesn't make my life *that* much better, mostly because often you don't get given what you'd actually use and it's impossible to talk to anyone about your plan. If I could trade my plan so that the guy who needs a catheter isn't told to "hold it", I would.
Because it does fully confuse me as an Australian why the USA considers itself the arbiter of societal greatness, interfering with other countries politics and problems, when the rest of us look at them like "how is your country so backwards with its inequality and violence?"
If all the funds from USAID were diverted to ridding the US of poverty then there might be a case to be made but the same people who want to dismantle USAID also think that poor Americans deserve to be poor.
USAID has been fighting disease, feeding children, and promoting goodwill around the world for six decades. As this article makes clear, dismantling this agency would be a profound foreign policy mistake - one that Congress should resist. https://t.co/MSsgZ82QbX
@alberta_woman @alltoojen_xo There basically wasn't a "dress" element involved though. I don't think we can say the lower half would've eventually come out - free the nipple movement, toplessness not being illegal in some states, etc
@PeterDutton_MP Those settings being paying them money to turn around at sea so it doesn't count as a maritime arrival and you can say you "stopped the boats"...
@jan_ruscoe@antiark1@Leo_Puglisi6 What is the point though? People have clearly been leaving school knowing nothing about history or biology *gestures to politicians and voters*
