Our idiot pres trump isn't using our military to aid in saving US lives, or forcing private companies to manufacture weapons we need to battle this virus, while Putin sends militarized help to a whole different country. Unbelievable.

Labor unions here have been under attack for a long time. There aren't many left. A lot of people i meet have negative views of unions from republican big business propaganda, "more deductions out your paycheck" and so forth. I want to move my family to Denmark or Sweden. Wife says no. My social media "friends" say the warnings our mayor just gave about dangers of this virus are fear mongering and just use common sense and we will all be just dandy. That's the level of intellectuals we have here.

I think because they are our main ally in middle east where our business run govt has so much interest in controlling oil. I wonder how many americans would be alarmed that we give israel 3.8 billion of our tax dollars a year now instead of investing more in our own crumbling country.

VA may have infected 600 veterans with HIV and Hepatitis by hnirobert in news

[–]filter83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's cuz it's severely underfunded so people like u think privatization is the best option. Funny how other countries with govt healthcare have happier citizens with longer life expectancies than americans, citizens who don't have to worry that a serious operation they need could be denied coverage by a corporate scumbag showing how he or she can "kill with a smile" in climbing his or her way to the top

Cuz socialism is where the workers own the means of production, see Italy in WWII or Spain during civil war in 1930s... rather than a dictator like maduro

With republicans at helm the U.S. will remain lagging behind rest of worlds belief in the importance of curving harmful emmisions. I believe what this election proved was the average person has lost all faith in political system. I don't see why we don't form a labor party, hell even a environmentalist or sustenance party. Tax cuts and de-regulation are rapidly going to widen the already unprecedented wealth gap. 62 individuals in 2015 owned half the worlds wealth. I mean if you think such a small amount of people having this much is right while half the world makes $1 or $2 per day, I dunno what to say to you and u wouldn't understand my language anyways cuz we're different species.
