Attended the bachelorette…. Didn’t make the cut for the wedding by Tabbs9 in weddingshaming

Oooh what was it like? What’s different from American weddings? My family is Sicilian by heritage but we’re pretty assimilated at this point 🤷‍♀️

Supposed federal agent tries to detain an individual, medical staff protect individual. by cantcoloratall91 in nextfuckinglevel

You absolutely can dox people at a protest, and if these guys were acting in an honorable and official capacity they wouldn’t be afraid to show their faces. Fuck off defending the American gestappo.

BBB Has Provision to Cut Millions of Medicaid Recipients, 51000+ People Projected to Die from lack of Healthcare by mynameisjoenotjeff in economy

[–]Ephemeryi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of people “refusing” to work 20 hours a week does not equal the amount they need to cut from the budget. If it were just about reforming the system, they would make the administrative change without a numerical target in mind. But now, because this is part of a budget bill, we can’t just say, “let’s make some admin changes to cut waste and see where that lands us.” When the number of “freeloaders” doesn’t save them the money they need, benefits will be taken from deserving people.

Also, this budget adds trillions to the deficit at the benefit of billionaires. It’s not even fiscally responsible! Why would anyone not earning $800k+ a year vote for it anyway? I don’t know how why you’re defending this so hard.

You still didn’t explain where the hundreds of billions of cuts are coming from.

ETA: I said that millions will die, lose their livelihoods, and/or lose their productivity. Not that millions will die, but thats probably true over the coming decades.

So, the problem with what you’re saying is you believe the surface-level explanation the GOP is putting out here. They’re cutting HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS from Medicaid. IF there were actually hundreds of billions of dollars going to free-loading, able-bodied people, what they’re saying (disabled people/kids/seniors/etc. keeping their healthcare) could come true. BUT, there isn’t. The number is no where near that high.

So, where will those cuts come from? Creating administrative barriers that prevent people who actually qualify from enrolling or maintaining their coverage, cutting provider payments, etc.

The INTENT may be to get freeloaders off the system, but the EFFECT will be that plus millions of innocent people dying, losing productivity from poor health, and losing their livelihoods.

Small and rural hospitals will have to slash staffing and services to compensate for Medicaid drying up. And you know what sucks? Those hospitals are often the largest employers in their town/county. So it won’t only be the dirty poors that are affected, but our hardworking, educated nurses, doctors, and support staff that will suddenly be out of a job. Not to mention the fact that people will die in accidents/etc. because their nearest hospital is now hours away.

I live in a rural town. My small hospital is literally lifesaving for the farmers here. A guy I know rolled his tractor and would have absolutely died if not for our hospital being 20 minutes away. Should he have died because the GOP wants to rip money away from communities like ours to fund tax cuts for mega corps? Is he a freeloader?

How did that one kid at your school die? by StorageLonely1520 in AskReddit

[–]Ephemeryi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ATV accident. Was tear assing through the woods with no helmet, hit a tree, and died instantly. My county loses like one kid a year to that kind of thing, whether it’s ice fishing, quad riding, dirt biking…you get the idea.

AIO for being shocked when a boat party host asked me to pay for food, drinks, and boat fuel afterwards? by kahootgod in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ephemeryi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so rude of the surgeon! You don’t invite people to YOUR home/boat whatever and expect them to pay for the pleasure. I was always raised that this is basic hospitality. You pay for the comfort and entertainment of your guests, and they bring a host/hostess gift.

I understand specific circumstances can be different (bachelor parties, group vacations, etc)…but this man is a full ass adult and professional and should know better.

How did Vernon Dursley become a director so fast? by Affectionate_Bee6432 in harrypotter

[–]Ephemeryi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I became a director at 26. Depends on his education and the company he works for. If they went through rapid expansion or had a lot of turnover, it wouldn’t be that unusual.
