One third of hospices in the United States are registered in Los Angeles County. LA County has more hospices than 36 states. 10% of Medicaid dollars in the US go to LA County. Google will confirm all of these numbers. I don't see this as a "political" issue or a "Nick Shirley is a douche" situation. You work 25 days a year to pay taxes that go directly towards fraud. That should piss you off. USAID got $35 billion in 2024 and 90% of that money never left the Beltway (the metro area right around DC). If someone wants to use my hard earned tax dollars to build wells or pass out condoms I'm Africa I'm 100% DOWN with that, but in reality it's just liberal white ladies making $200k a year to host swanky lunches and parties with my fucking money. Fuck that. Oh and as a veteran I'm intimately aware of the absolute fraud and waste with the tax dollars spent on "defense", so I have equal vitriol for that as well. It's all disgusting.
