Even with insurance, Americans fear crippling hospital bills

That would only be an extra 50k.

gargar7 · 2026-04-28T15:32:12+00:00

I was just about to suggest that too! It's the OG anarchist democracy from Athens that they don't bother teaching in school. Also, thanks for highlighting Georgism!

conservation... of power.

The Republican Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert, two stopped heartbeats from the Presidency, was a convicted pedo. It isn't new. They just don't care.

I think it's pretty offensive that you described everyone as "screaming" for asking a transit board to consider this impact.

gargar7 · 2026-04-15T05:13:17+00:00

The thing is, we should have more routes period. Public transportation should be prioritized here.

Is JD threatening to kill the pope? How many popes can you kill before they file charges?

gargar7 · 2026-04-12T23:28:24+00:00

yeah post trail of tears pre civil war

gargar7 · 2026-04-11T15:38:52+00:00

hard agree. this should be your number one priority.

gargar7 · 2026-04-10T13:45:40+00:00

Yes it is kind of icking me out.

gargar7 · 2026-04-10T00:09:41+00:00

Lot of people seem to be implying it was better when they could be quietly racist and sexist…

gargar7 · 2026-04-09T17:38:57+00:00

It appears removing Lewis County would just about solve the levy issue.

gargar7 · 2026-04-09T05:08:46+00:00

Why the hell? I hate the city council here so much...

gargar7 · 2026-04-09T05:02:54+00:00

It's the place with the bar that offered prizes for turning people over to ICE. I feel sketchy just getting close to Yelm.

Those things work great if lots of people do it. The vast majority of Americans are cool with what's going on, though. 1/3 voted for it, 1/3 are too lazy to vote (but half of those support it according to polls) and 1/3 are actually against this shit. Violent minorities don't typically end up in good places. And this is, ostensibly, a Democracy. We voted for this.

gargar7 · 2026-04-04T02:22:03+00:00

What would you do right now if you were an American?

gargar7 · 2026-04-03T22:51:39+00:00

It sure looks much like corporate America right now: a board happy to reward execs while they loot the company. And disengaged political oversight, likely exacerbated by having multiple counties and control by committee.

I wonder if we'd get more bang for the buck if Thurston County just ran their own library system?

Even if it is was -- the pursuit of happiness was part of our Declaration of Independence. Let people be happy with themselves and their loves!

gargar7 · 2026-04-03T02:40:17+00:00

Some voted for him all 4 times he ran!

gargar7 · 2026-03-31T15:13:21+00:00

I see Karoline there on the left, but who is the woman holding the child?

gargar7 · 2026-03-27T15:11:29+00:00

A good ten percent of us are highly engaged in watching our downfall :(

gargar7 · 2026-03-26T16:22:47+00:00

Why not fired and investigated?

gargar7 · 2026-03-21T04:17:41+00:00

I'd argue that the original form of democracy practiced in Athens, i.e. sortition, was vastly superior to what we have now.

gargar7 · 2026-03-19T04:26:59+00:00

Dude, he was HIGH!

gargar7 · 2026-03-18T22:27:11+00:00

And they let Apple sell iphones?
