I work in fundraising and this can happen, and it’s a worst-case scenario. This means that the donor has either a) gone broke and can’t fund their pledged gift or, in this case, b) became such a nightmare and the relationship is so bad that it’s detrimental to pursue the funding. Especially if the donor is powerful…

A question from a Canadian. From most things I hear, even American’s who identify as Democrats, or left leaning in their politics are against public health care. Why? Is it taxes? Because I mean shit, if you’re paying like a grand a month in insurance premiums I can assure you your taxes wouldn’t be that high. It just…

My favorite part is how Marco Rubio starts off menacingly chewing gum and by the end has to reach out to lean on a desk for support.

This was quite a solid coke-rant. I’ll bet he didn’t pause to take a breath the entire time.

This. I’m a police officer who has arrested some really bad people. They were totally guilty. And I defend and respect the right of the accused to have a defense attorney, even when they are dead to rights guilty.

Linkin Park was once my favorite band, so....

*Scans list*

I know this is a troll article but putting both Ænima and Sargent Pepper On this list is a travesty.

Except that renters do pay property taxes when landlords pass it on in the rental costs you dumbass.

No, what makes you heartless is not realizing what this does. It takes everyone from the age of 18-26 off of insurance, a group that traditionally has never insured themselves due to extreme cost for those in that age group (punctuated by shit plans to begin with).

No argument. But apples are not oranges. Nobody wants to remember that veterans exist as a human waste product of warfare, so it’s hard to fight for funding that they need. Everybody wants shiny jets and tanks and spy sattellites instead, and wants to forget the physically and mentally injured people who come back.…

I started to take a few swings at this, but notice that many others have also.

Oh, sorry for my single mistake in which I clearly meant “world”.

How do you pay for health care right now? If the answer is “I have a large bank balance and can afford to pay for my medical needs out of pocket”, you don’t really belong in this conversation. Regardless of what happens, you’ll be unaffected. If the answer is “I have no health coverage, because I’m healthy and take…

Prior to 1973, health care as a profit-making enterprise was illegal. For two centuries in our fine and beautiful nation, health care was understood to be made available to all who needed it as an ethically correct practice. It was only after Nixon that health care as a for-profit corporate enterprise existed, and not…

My honest questions to you, no judgement...I just want to understand:

But don’t worry, we will have plenty of money for the wall and tax rebates for the wealthy. Trickledown. right?

Also, your premium from today? If ACA is repealed, it will double. You will pay much, much more for even shittier care than you currently possess. Your wife and child that you claim to have will not be able to afford care if they get sick, which means they’ll die. You’ll have participated in their death by supporting…

On some level, someone could make that (very presumptuous accusation), because with humanity and with community comes the understanding that we should all be in this together on some level. You get to sit at home in your AC, on your couch, and not have to worry about a neighbor who can’t afford to heal themselves if…

You paying for other people’s stuff is how any insurance works. Insurance isn’t a savings account that you’re paying into. You not understanding that doesn’t make you soulless, but it doesn’t make you educated on what you’re talking about either.
