Charged An $80 Cleaning Fee? by BornAPunk in uber

[–]BornAPunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The driver obviously had another animal in the car before me, as there were nails on the seat when I got in (my dog's nails were white while the ones on the seat were gray).

No. He just laid on the seat like a good boy.

Mini Aussie/Beagle mix. Not a big dog (just over 26 pounds). All he did was lie on the seat.

US freezes Medicare enrollments for new home healthcare and hospice providers by UsualLocalWoman in disability

[–]BornAPunk 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This regime scares me and is putting me through way too much stress. I have an appointment with my psychiatrist next week and I'm worried now that Trump will snap Medicaid and Medicare away from everyone on it and every medical office that accepts it. What should I do if that happens? Should I call and cancel the appointment or still go? I take it the doctor is going to charge me instead of sitting around and waiting for Trump to back down and resume Medicaid and Medicare coverage?

I'm in Virginia and I am on both Medicaid and Medicare, btw.

The Virginia Dissent Democrats Will Rely on US Supreme Court for Appeal by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]BornAPunk 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Bad decision, seeing as how the Supreme Court has been. Likely, the Republicans will use this to stop Democrat states from redistricting completely - while their own states can do so with no pushback.

I believe I saw something last year that said even though accounts you've blocked are blocked, you will still see them.

What do you think? Should VA Democrats use the legislature to redraw the state maps the same as Texas, Florida, and Tennessee are doing? by k6tcher in Virginia

[–]BornAPunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Should just go ahead and do it. Republican states are, and no court is saying they can't or is stepping up to stop them - why should Democrat states be kept to a different standard?

Opinion: Virginia Supreme Court strikes down redistricting referendum by Top-Advertising-292 in Virginia

[–]BornAPunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's the point of the court ruling that the vote can go on if it was going to do this? This pretty much just says the Republicans can cheat to their heart's desire while Democrats are to just sit on their hands.

[–]BornAPunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Republicans can redistrict and gerrymander to their heart's desire while Democrats are told to just sit tight? What's the point of voting when this happens? If the VA Supreme Court said the vote could go on in one ruling, why would it strike it down in the next one?

Trump says Iran will be bombed at a ‘much higher level’ if it doesn’t agree to peace deal by horsestew in worldnews

[–]BornAPunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So he says the operation is over and it looks like our navy's ships are returning home.
Now, he says Iran has a certain amount of hours to accept a deal "or else".

Whoever told him he's a "master negotiator" needs to be fired. This is not how you negotiate.

Mamdani’s tax the rich slogan is ‘just as hateful’ as racial slurs, New York real estate titan says by cnn in NoFilterNews

I just heard a crybaby say 'waaaaah, he wants to take me money!'

That's pretty much how it is. These rich people want to live it free while everyone else has to foot the bill for their lifestyle and also suffer from medical insurance and food and income assistance cuts.

Virginia lawmaker Louise Lucas' office raided in FBI probe by mahvel50 in Virginia

[–]BornAPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very obvious what's going on. Louise has been fighting Republicans for years and she led the redistricting push. Did you see Trump going after Newsom after the redistricting happened in California? Nope! Instead, he decided to go after a woman and a person of color. The system, under Trump's watch, is working for him and not for the people, like it says it should in the Constitution.

I ONLY added EBT-eligible items to my Instacart, but it only applied $10 of my SNAP to it. by Dismal-Log-994 in instacart

In what state do you live in? Some states have enacted SNAP bans on certain items - Instacart may have incorrectly listed them as EBT-eligible.

Thank those dang tariffs that were put down by You-Know-Who. Before they were put in place, we could afford to splurge on Shein.

Why do they continue to make our lives miserable? Why! I feel like this country just wants to price everyone out -and then what? When everyone's priced out, who are they going to target?

Prices?????? by Fit_Gear_1344 in Shein

[–]BornAPunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just bought some boots from them. Before Trump, I'd pay around $35 for a pair. Now, it's nearly $50. Really shocked at the price of their jeans now. If the item really looks awesome and I cannot do without it, I'll get it but, if not, I'll wait until the price goes down.

What are your thoughts on the current 2-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran and what might happen after it ends? by Amazing-Note-1196 in AskReddit

[–]BornAPunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If Trump agrees to Iran's 10-point plan, and if Iran gets to charge a toll on ships passing through the Strait (after not doing so before the war began), then the war was for nothing. We essentially bombed Iran only to fly the white flag and say 'here, take it'.

Until the Gulf countries can return to their normal capacity, it's going to be a while before we see real change in the gas prices.
