These are those same people who think single parents have investment income and childcare is only a couple hundred dollars a month. Delusional. 

You’re just as tone deaf as the tweeter - people live in different places with differing obligations. One very easy way to get your head out of your ass is to assume everyone quoting a large salary here also has a student loan debt they are paying off as a percentage of their income. What this poster is saying that…

Mainly it’s the difference between insurance-negotiated rates and non-insured rates that hospitals will charge, which is another universe of fucked up in this country’s system.

COBRA costs are crazy, but it’s also important to remember, it’s just the cost your employer is paying per month for you to have that health insurance, plus whatever your premium was. COBRA is the law that allows you to stay on the plan, as long as you take on the whole premium so that you’re not costing the employer…

I almost make six figures and don’t have a couple grand laying around either. Rent and student loans take over the majority of my take home pay. 

What is hard to understand? No my cost of living isn’t high.  I am a single homeowner in the midwest.  MRIs are expensive. Affording healthcare out of pocket (insurance won’t pay for it, so for this I am effectively “uninsured”) is hard even for me and I am in a good situation overall.

Not just myopic, extremely self-centered.

Few things drive me more insane than people who think they know what other people should be able to afford. I see it all the time in the comments section of articles about childcare/paid family leave/food stamps, you name it. Nothing is more myopic than thinking you can take your unique financial experience and apply…

I make well into 6 figures, have no kids and have the “good” insurance at work and I’m sitting here figuring out how to pay for my MRI out of pocket because I need foot surgery and insurance won’t approve a fucking diagnostic test. Even someone as fortunate as I am to have money and benefits doesn’t have a few grand…

In this  case it’s Y'all Kayda. 

“The Base” is a literal translation of Al-Qaeda.

I assume there will be a Pokemon portion that serves delicious Jelly-filled Doughnuts?

It’s something you learn after being married for a long time.

Trump, who never met dishwasher in his life, wants to do to dishwasher what Connor in movie Popstar did to appliances.

Possibly.

It has always been easy to prognosticate what Trump will do in any given situation.  Simply ask yourself “What would Jesus do?”  Trump will do the opposite.

Bout effin time a few of these Christians stand up and lay into that insufferable jackass. He is not, nor ever will be the bright shining example of what they want. He is not a good and kind soul they want but one of those blithering idiots who preach God while tooling around in private jets and explaining they need…

Today in the UK:

I predict that Galli will get fired within days and CT will withdraw the editorial. This is a crowd that does not tolerate being told things like this:
