ByteWizard , in Trump says he won’t return to witness stand in $250m New York fraud trial

What’s the point in testifying in a kangaroo court? Where the judge is CLEARLY not interested in a fair trial?

It’s all going to get thrown out anyway.

mateomaui ,

LOL

He keeps appealing “unfair” rulings and they keep getting upheld by other courts. Cry more.

zalgotext ,

Yeah, much easier to control the narrative for your base from Truth Social than from the stand, where you actually have some obligation to tell the truth.

“The truth shall set you free” …unless you’re a criminal.

Empricorn , (edited )

sigh He broke the law. Do you actually have evidence that this judge is not being *unfair to Trump, or are you just upset he’s actually being held accountable for once?

EDIT: Of course they don’t.

ByteWizard , in ‘Don’t get sick. It’s too expensive’: medical debt is putting more Americans in financial crisis

Better to have expensive service that is actually available when you need it. Socialized medicine means you’ll be waiting MONTHS for an appointment. Or they’ll just tell you to kill yourself. No joke.

Chetzemoka ,

Says the person who clearly doesn’t have to see specialists in the US very often. We already have to wait months to see specialists.

ExLisper ,

Weird, last time I had to visit ER in socialized hospital it was quick and free. Where are you getting your info from?

Americans: “Hey, can we break up the insurance companies and tax the billionaires to get some sort of single payer affordable healthcare?”

🤡: “Can’t have socialized medicine! Death panels! Euthanasia! Long waits!”

Banks: “We gambled away your retirement money and we need government assistance.”

Also 🤡: “Ack! We gotta save capitalism with some collective action! Won’t someone think of the bankers?! Where do we mail the check, Senpai?”

Ataraxia ,

Who are you not needing to wait months for an appointment? Especially a specialist?

Lol… and when you have no insurance they kick you out of the hospital.

voracitude ,

Maybe in the UK, nowadays, after the right-wingers gutted the NHS to try and move the country to privatised health care. But generally, you’re completely wrong on every count. I grew up with social health care and lived with it most of my life, and it’s better. No worrying about medical debt if I get sick, no prolonging waiting to go to a GP and letting it get worse, and no waiting if it’s urgent. The only time I had to wait for treatment was for nonessential surgery to get a ganglion out of my wrist. In the US they just told me to hit it with a heavy book and charged me.

You’re either an idiot or a ghoul to think that private health care is better. Edit: I see by your post history it’s both. You’re reprehensible, and blocked.

Krauerking , in Why Americans are going hungry despite a strong economy

Biden is definitely helping the economy by bringing in all that cheap import child labor so he should know

dangblingus ,

Yeah gonna need a citation on that one.

Krauerking ,

Biden’s health and human services secretary was specifically calling for the camps that Biden has done nothing to dismantle to release children quickly which is tossing then into forced labor

Biden has still failed to do anything on immigration with it only ramping up and making him more reliant on new private ICE facilities that are well known for their atrocious methods.

We have no official Labor Secretary at the moment and haven’t for months. In the same timeline of Biden stating he would have his departments crack down on child labor we have gone an additional 10 months of silence.
An attempt at passing a bill to push against child labor and to use the already existing framework of banning sales of items made with child labor both failed with no support from the white house.

So, sure, both sides. And yes, the system is already broken and split. But at best Biden is complacent, and at worst happy to look the other way while his investors make money.

fosforus , in Why Americans are going hungry despite a strong economy

If you’re individually fucked, then it of course hurts, but generally speaking the US economy has been doing pretty well in the last 20, 10 and 5 years. Covid-19 was a bit shit but it was a bit shit for pretty much everyone.

If you wanna see an economically mediocre previously well-off area, check out EU.

ExLisper ,

“If you’re rich you’ll doing fine actually. If you’re poor you don’t matter”

fosforus ,

I believe USA has a rather large middle class still, don’t they?

ExLisper ,

They do. And poor people don’t matter so you’re all good. Just be careful not to get sick and fall below the middle class line.

fosforus ,

Over the last 200 years, it has been more likely for people to climb out of extreme poverty than go the other way. The amount of people in extreme poverty was ~75% in 1820, and it’s now ~10%.

But perhaps you were talking about poverty, not extreme poverty. That figure has been rather more or less same for a long time in the US.

ExLisper ,

In the last 20 years vastly more people climbed out of poverty in China than in USA. If that’s your metric Chinese economy is doing amazing and USA has stagnated 20 years ago.

fosforus ,

It’s pretty much a fact that the Chinese economy has been doing great in the last 20 years, and since most of the extreme poverty used to be in places like China, it’s not a large surprise that the most climbing happened there. It’s easier to climb when you’re at the bottom – there’s way more room above you than below you.

Drusas , in The Census Bureau wants to change how it asks about disabilities. Some advocates don't like it

This change would reduce the number of people the government considers to have a disability. That information is used to provide funding for various programs and agencies which deal with disability. This means that, if this change is adopted, less federal funding will go to disability programs, at a time when disability levels are unusually high and still increasing due to the long-term health impacts of COVID-19.

Dio , in Pennsylvania Governor and Senator Denounce Antisemitism at Rally
@Dio@lemy.lol avatar

When are the masses going to realise that, “antisemitism” Covers more than just the genocidal Israelis. That word gets thrown around so much and most only consider, “Jews”

Any how, this victimhood fetish is so overplayed and worn out.

    @rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

    Sounds like it would have been a win for the other body, sad to have no known fam. I wonder if they were to be cremated anyways?

    Buddahriffic ,

    I wouldn’t say that anything happening or not happening would be a win for a dead body. They are already done with all of that.
