I find it interesting how you have no power to change anything yet live in a community of people with the same experience. I think rather you all just live alone in close proximity.
You are right. I don't have power to change anything on a federal level or state. I vote for people who will take care of my interests and those around me but I am outnumbered by vote fraud and people who make foolish choices. As a result we now have bad policy that everyone is forced to live with. We all can't live in a nice sheltered country where the citizens pay taxes and the government actually gives back to them service that is worth paying taxes for. It would have been nice to be born in the Netherlands so I could talk down to the rest of the world and tell them of my magnificence. With every comment your synthetic ivory tower of morality grows ten feet taller.
"Geressen, post: 362610, member: 677"]It is not about you, it is about everyone. This is what people don't understand. Many who actually complain about the ACA are the same people who make back what they take from them twice over in a matter of days it's ridiculous. Just because you as an individual can afford healthcare doesn't mean everyone else can in fact most can't, take away ACA and companies WILL raise there expenses higher and higher to compete with each other, lower class and a good amount of middle class heck even others with a good substantial amount of money won't be able to get the treatment they need. And yes premiums will STILL raise. ^Idk wth happened here xD
It sucks to be anyone in this world right now it frankly sucks. And I personally believe the fall of the US is the fall of civilization as we know it. At least as WE know it.
Let's not all panic just yet. I know people are worried, and there's plenty of reasons to be (though unfortunately some of them were fabricated, which makes some turn a blind eye to actual reasons), but I think saying that the US (let alone civilization as we know it) is going to fall any time soon is premature.
its not going to fall, but its going to happen something drastic. When you make the space between wealthy and poor people wider and wider, getting less rich and more poor people every day, you get the poor angry. Not everybody is going to accept it. Some of them will not accept it peacefully. It's how you build fanatism. Like the problem with fanatic islam in Europe and middle east. Its not like the muslims got fanatic. More like the desperate/angry fanatics found a way to explode and expose their rage against the system into radical islam.
Just stated IF the US were to fall chaos would be sure to ensue at least with the way the world is set up right now, if it's now or later remains to be seen HOWEVER we just elected a madman who is more concerned about his inauguration crowd than actual issues, North Korea is growing increasingly more dangerous, we are at odds with Russia, probably soon to be China the way this man speaks and he basically saying F all of our allies.. I hope not thought personally I believe we are more than strong enough to prevail.
OMG if the US is to fall. Fear porn everywhere! Fema death camp. Robots taking our jobs. Help. If it happens it happens. No use spreading fear. Stop watching melon head Alex Jones. I have a bag packed in my trunk with supplies and a sleeping bag in case of any emergency. I will just do like I did when I was a boy scout and make for the forest and mountains.
robots are taking jobs, though. rather, they're increasingly forcing job markets to reevaluate the worth of human labor in different context
How the Firk would you know? Lol. One very bad mistake foreigners can make is to think that Americans are so politico-aggressive like the news that you probably get about our country. I live in an awesome community, my kids go to awesome schools, I have a great job, all my children will go to college/join the military as is their wish but they'll have plenty of opportunity. I have lots of guns, I can shoot people at will. This is fukcing great!
I just shot my brother with an Airsoft pistol because of this post, does that count enough? He wasn't very pleased.
but our hypothesis is: Baskit can shoot people at will so the current experiment is: baskit can shoot at least 1 person at Geressen's will. we are now waiting for data, further experiments or change in hypothesis pending results.
I was testing the new hypothesis that my brother would be not more pleased by being shot with a real gun. I keep telling him to get up so we can test again, but the slacker seems intent on napping on the job.
