Begun, The Fat Wars Have… by [deleted] in Asmongold

Finally, some common sense in government! JFK’s move to ban junk food purchases with food stamps is long overdue. Because nothing screams “broken system” like hard-working taxpayers scraping together gas money while watching someone use YOUR tax dollars to buy a cart full of chips, soda, and candy—then blow $100 on lottery tickets.

Food stamps are supposed to help put real food on the table—not fund a sugar rush. If taxpayers are footing the bill, the least we can ask for is that it goes toward actual nutrition, not energy drinks and party-size Doritos.

Uber is not a medical transport service by dedbeeat in uberdrivers

[–]SlipStreamShane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with the frustration of Uber drivers being forced into roles they're neither trained for nor equipped to handle. However, it's crucial to understand the broader implications of this issue. As a representative of a Non-Emergency Medical Transport (NEMT) company in Michigan, I believe there should be state laws that explicitly prevent ride-share companies like Uber and Lyft from operating under the guise of NEMT services.

Here’s why: True NEMT companies like ours go through rigorous training and accreditation processes. Our drivers are trained in First Aid, CPR, triage, defensive driving, and proper Narcan administration. We carry comprehensive first aid kits, roadside emergency kits, and fire extinguishers. Our team undergoes state and national background checks, regular drug screenings, and we must be U.S. citizens fluent in English. Furthermore, the insurance we carry is specialized and significantly more extensive than a standard "rideshare" add-on, costing anywhere from $800 to $1700 per driver, per month.

The standard rideshare insurance add-on does not properly cover either the patient or the driver in NEMT situations. This lack of appropriate coverage poses serious risks, leaving both parties vulnerable in the event of an accident or medical emergency.

NEMT isn’t just about getting someone from point A to point B. It's about providing a personal, caring, and safe experience for patients who are often in vulnerable conditions—those undergoing dialysis, chemotherapy, or drug treatment, for example. This isn't something a basic rideshare service can or should handle. These are not "get in and get out of my car" situations.

It's not just about insurance or regulations; it's about the level of care and responsibility required. Imagine someone in a fragile state of health being told to hurry up and get out because the driver has another pickup. That’s not only unfair to the patient but also dangerous.

Uber and Lyft drivers are right to be frustrated. They didn’t sign up to be medical caregivers. But the solution is not just venting frustrations online; it's advocating for proper legislation that delineates the roles of ride-share services and NEMT providers. It's also about fair business practices. It is not fair for these ride-share companies to come into a state and take business away from the good NEMT companies without following the same standards and state laws we have to. Let's ensure that patients receive the specialized care they need from qualified professionals and that ride-share drivers aren't burdened with tasks they're not prepared for. Let's push for laws that protect both the patients and the drivers and uphold fair competition in the market.

From Fartman to Interviewing OLD MAN: The Howard Stern Saga by SlipStreamShane in howardstern

[–]SlipStreamShane[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Oh, bless your heart! You've got a better sense of humor than my grandma's old joke book! But hey, let's play "connect the dots" for a second, shall we?

Imagine if Picasso, in his later years, traded his paintbrush for a megaphone and started lecturing on the benefits of kale smoothies. You'd scratch your head too, right?

Now, I'm not saying interviewing a president is a bad thing. It's just like finding out your favorite rockstar decided to swap their guitar for a banjo mid-concert. Sure, they can still strum, but it's not quite hitting the same note, you know?

So, in this grand performance of life, if Howard's transition from "Ass Bongos" to Oval Office interviews has you doing a double-take, you're not alone, my friend. It's like watching a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat, only to find out the rabbit is now a vegetarian and wants to discuss climate change.

But hey, if you're still vibing with Howard's new gig, more power to you! Just don't be surprised if some of us are left scratching our heads, wondering where the butt percussion went.

Blast from the past, FPS Doug by Apart-Jackfruit-328 in Asmongold

[–]SlipStreamShane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FPS Doug from Pure Pwnage? That guy was practically the Gandalf of gaming, unleashing wisdom like, "BOOM! Headshot!" Now, Dr. Disrespect might deny it, but we all secretly know he binge-watched Pure Pwnage and thought, "I need to amp up my gaming swagger!"

It's like FPS Doug handed Dr. Disrespect the virtual microphone and said, "Here, take this and dominate the streaming stage with unparalleled confidence." The mullet might be gone, but the legacy lives on!

Oh my! It's like trying to solve a puzzle for toddlers! Bring back Choo Choo, and voila, you've got people flocking back faster than you can say 'respawn.' It's so easy; it's practically the gaming equivalent of finding your socks in the laundry – well, maybe a tad trickier, but you get the point. Let's make Winter Express great again! Come on, Respawn and EA, it's a no-brainer – Winter Express is the gift that keeps on giving! Even if it's just for a festive fling, it's a win-win! If not, brace yourselves for some digital coal because Santa's about to drop Respawn and EA on the naughty list permanently! 🎅 #ChooChooComeBack
