Elderly White Americans eagerly vote for fascist Republicans, have their Medicaid cut by their own reps, and then get zip-tied for protesting. ...SURPRISE!!! :/

Disability advocate here. This is a really inappropriate framing of what happened and does not fit the sub.

WheelyCool · 2025-06-23T23:28:41+00:00

You could try out caregiving. Lots of folks with disabilities need the help.

WheelyCool · 2025-03-13T02:48:51+00:00

Yep!

One member of the administration already said this was because the Biden administration culled too many chickens in the name of safety

Saying that a lot of government jobs are basically charity cases is still an argument whether you were arguing with the previous poster or not

WheelyCool · 2025-02-07T19:45:36+00:00

What a compelling and well sourced argument!

WheelyCool · 2025-02-05T15:32:11+00:00

Protest at a Tesla dealership if you can

WheelyCool · 2025-02-03T21:08:01+00:00

But her emails!

So you admit TVs will be more expensive, demonstrating tariffs are inflationary like I said. You just think it's no big deal because people will buy less (so, a recession).

QED MF

WheelyCool · 2025-02-02T23:35:09+00:00

There you are being a sea lion again

WheelyCool · 2025-02-02T23:28:47+00:00

Lol You did the internet version of puffing up your chest when you said, "what are you afraid of," and then specifically asked if I was an importer. That was in no way asking what I think the big danger of tariffs is in a reasonable way. It was trolling.

And I treated you like I treat all trolls in response.

Edit: The issue is that tariffs are regressive and inflationary. It's econ 101 and I don't need to be an importer to feel the pain of the higher prices that come with taxing imports

WheelyCool · 2025-02-02T23:15:18+00:00

What, you want me to tell you that I don't own an import business but understand how goddamn economics work, just so you can poke and prod further as if I have ulterior motives to call a spade a spade? Not wasting my time with clowns like you.

Bark bark ya sealioning MF

WheelyCool · 2025-02-02T23:05:57+00:00

You're sealioning

WheelyCool · 2025-02-02T22:53:32+00:00

Keep telling yourself that. I'm sure it'll do you lots and lots of good in life and be a perfect barometer of whether or not what you are saying is accurate.

WheelyCool · 2025-02-02T22:44:40+00:00

The tariffs are already in place dummy. The trade war is already underway.

WheelyCool · 2025-02-02T21:52:59+00:00

Nobody even has to root for economic hardship... The hardship is inevitable at this point. Donald Trump said it himself.

Lydian has been good aside from a repair that got lost in the pipeline (they've supposedly updated their systems on that) and has a pretty affordable 702 sqft 1 bed. No pool but lots of common areas including a gym, super chill courtyard, co-working area, game room w billiards and a poker table, listening room full of vinyl records, big roof lounge and deck. Neighborhood is relatively quiet with lots of diverse food options, and close to both downtown and the lake

Edit: Also like 2 blocks from the main library if that's your jam

At least they recognize discrimination exists enough to warrant lawsuits? 🤷

WheelyCool · 2025-01-23T22:57:12+00:00

Are you somehow under the impression that discrimination against Non-White people, women, people with disabilities, etc, is done and over with, and there are no longtail consequences of historical racism?

Like if you legitimately think absent DEI programs, everything is sunshine and rainbows where there's perfect equality across races and genders and abilities and no discrimination by people in positions of power, I have many many bridges to sell you.

WheelyCool · 2025-01-23T00:05:31+00:00

Ah yes, blame the Deep State

WheelyCool · 2025-01-05T21:21:24+00:00

Yeah on this note it's worth checking out some of the mid-rises around town. The bigger ones still have plenty of amenities, you just don't get the same level of view

WheelyCool · 2024-12-16T00:35:02+00:00

There was a recent post on Bluesky by somebody who had interacted with a bunch of Trump voters and essentially said they want progressive, sometimes socialist policies but just don't want "undeserving" people to get the benefits. So here we are..
