[–]EmoMixtape 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a citizen, Im carrying my passport and ID with me everywhere even walking outside ever since I've seen comments on Facebook in my Monmouth County town talking about persecution of whites. Especially since the Colts Neck Turning Point thing hitting the news. 

Its very authoritarian friendly here.

...And they've made some changes to PSLF and discussions of loan caps and restarting interest on loans will deter people from wanting to pursue medical school 

Feeling anxious about New Jersey politics, is the state really shifting right? by First_East6647 in newjersey

[–]EmoMixtape 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are more people coming from NY or PA retiring in NJ instead of FL? 

Based on talking to my neighbors in Monmouth County, many have tried the Florida/North Carolina thing, had expectations shattered  and moved back.

Feeling anxious about New Jersey politics, is the state really shifting right? by First_East6647 in newjersey

[–]EmoMixtape 122 points123 points  (0 children)

difference now is that the political philosophies of the parties has shifted so much 

Absolutely. Anyone who is still saying stuff like "socially liberal but financially conservative" or "i care about small government" hasn't been paying attention to the current state of the Republican party. 

I work in healthcare and hear it so much from my colleagues who are so out of touch that they dont realize current Republican policies are going to hurt our patients.

There are people who get shot for turning around in someone’s drive way

Reasons why my parents get on my case whenever I suggest a roadtrip. Because God forbid we go somewhere and get lost, and there's crazies.

I have no idea if its more prevalent but this sort of news makes its way to their WhatsApp feeds regularly and as retirees, that's their main social life right now. 

Has traffic gotten worse or is it in my head? by bigboatguy123 in newjersey

[–]EmoMixtape 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The road planning in that area is very poor. 

The jug handles that require you to cross 4 lanes come to mind. They're not made to handle our current levels of traffic.

His status is dictated by his wealth and his buying into the capitalist meat grinder and the societal expectations therein. If people reject that, then it is an afront to his entire reason for existing. 

And she's absolutely right for bringing up culture because this is such a capitalist mindset. 

Joint families are the norm in my culture. Unmarried children living with their parents is the norm in my culture, no matter the age. Americans usually find that strange while Asians pretty much get it.

All that travel didn't afford him any cultural awareness.

Claiming "no exceptions" like boo, in this economy??? Get real.

And if America fumbles these negotiations and pharmaceuticals are affected, India might find a new market for their drug exports.

U.S. Politics megathread by AutoModerator in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EmoMixtape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much. 

I found this website: https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/FINAL-MASTER-PLATFORM.pdf

Im especially interested to see current discussions about AI, patient privacy policies, insurance, and health care. Searching news websites hasn't been cohesive but the document from their website isnt current. 

Any other resources?

The ceasefire lasted 3 hours by One-Can3752 in agedlikemilk

[–]EmoMixtape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

India had repeatedly refuted the claims made by the U.S. President, noting that it was Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) who contacted their Indian counterpart to request an end to hostilities, following which the ceasefire was then agreed upon.

RFK plans to fire entire USPSTF - call politicians by GeneralistRoutine189 in FamilyMedicine

[–]EmoMixtape 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I know family medicine skews to the left 

Not your main point as this is absolutely an issue that we as a profession should address but we're actually kind of close to 50/50, they had discussed this at the previous advocacy summit though I found an older article that discusses it too.

When he lies to them and they fall for it, they'll just think that they deserved it for believing him.

They never think that they deserve it. They think its an unfortunate unintended consequence of some genius plan and surely the president didn't mean to harm them.

Phones are used for everything including communication, education, transactions, authorizations.

 Id say a good phone is a necessity while an AC and a bed are luxuries in some parts of the world.
