“rapid unscheduled disassembly.”
Or in laymans terms…shits broke!
Yeah. Back in december I thought “I’m barely making my head above water…” and decided to take a second job. Which, I hate the job itself, but the people are pretty good people. I’m used to new workplaces where you’re new to be filled with just the worst people. I’m used to toxic chaos. And if that had been the case, I’d have quit by now. But, it’s an extra $100ish dollars a week after taxes. It adds up.
So when I saw I was above income level, I was like “Whooooa, maybe I should just quit my second job if it means keeping my medicaide”.
Then I heard how low the threshold was, and I said “Well, actually…the second job had nothing to do with it…”
So I guess someone who makes 12 dollars an hour is too rich for medicaid now.
This is a problem affecting me, but it’s a bigger problem thats going to affect millions. I don’t have money to go out and pay $400 a month for health insurance.
I’m not even making my bills now as it is. Rent’s going to go up in July. Yet somehow I don’t qualify for food stamps, or now even medicaide.
You think I’m alone? You think the medical industry isn’t about to collapse on itself? Imagine all these people who go to the ER. And then get billed 3 million dollars. No I’m NOT exaggerating. I got a statement that said “this is not a bill”. It showed my services used. In a 3 month period, I was over 1 million dollars. I’ve been doing this since 2023. I’m fairly sure my total is closer to 5 million dollars.
Now…imagine they try to collect that.
Most they could do is arrest me. So now you got millions of prisoners. In a 1 year period. Where are you going to put them?
So, more likely they won’t arrest, but they won’t get their money. Now compound this. Millions of people all rendering services, which are now emergancy services. Which cannot be denied.
And then never paid because nobody has millions of dollars lying around.
How would the medical system NOT financially collapse?
Edit: I don’t always know how I come off to others. I typed this up angry. If it comes off as me being angry at you, I appologize. I’m not angry at you, or intending any direction at you.
I’m just angry.
I’ve been on medicaid for the past 10 years. This year my renewal was denied for “too much income”. I asked what the cutoff was. I was told $803 per month income.
My 1 bedroom apartment that may as well be called a studio is $795 per month, and will be going up by at least $70 in July.
In 2023 I was diagnosed with cancer. Which I beat. But now you’re telling me
“Oh well, you’re on your own now. Your last 3 month period cost over 1 million dollars. You WERE on medicaid, so you’re covered. But that runs out in 3 days. Good luck asshole!”
Hey Gen Z, first time being gaslit by boomers? Heh, yyeeeaaaahhhhhhh…they do that. Now imagine having them as your parent, and you’re 5, and you have to just live with their bullshit.
~Sincerely, Gen X and the older millenials.
I love this. With that ending, I legit can’t tell if you actually momentarily lost your shit, or if the reply too is a shitpost.
“The normal amount is zero”
“…since when?”
See, I’ve reached a point of total zen. Which is not as great as it sounds, but compared to this hot garbage, it’s pretty great.
See, my simple trick is, I looked at my life, realized nobody loves me, nobody will ever love me, and everything in life is just me perpetuating the lifestyles of landlords, and billionaire elites. My life doesn’t matter. Your life doesn’t matter. None of this matters. All we’re doing here is being a slave to the system that oppresses the masses for profit at the cost of their suffering.
So when I walk into work, they say “oh, here’s a new rule you have to follow” my response is “Yeah, I’m not doing that. You can all lick my sweaty asshole for even suggesting that.”
And then I go about my day. Doing whatever the fuck I want, because if they want to say anything about it, I remind them that nobody respects their opinion. Nobody likes them. Their time on this planet is in vein. They’ll never be happy, and all their dreams are dead.
Now most people have this mask they wear in public, where they pretend to have their shit together. Where they feel like they’re working towards a goal. Where they envision a life where they’re happy. Where their life has meaning. But I don’t have that mask, and that intimidates people.
Some people think people don’t want to hear the truth. That phrase carries this weight that if someone is telling you the truth about yourself, they’re doing so maliciously. Like the truth is an attack on you.
What most people don’t ever consider is what they feel if someone just tells the truth. Not out of anger. Not as an attack. But rather as a factual nuetral statement. That’s the kind of thing nobody realizes scares them, until they have it happen to them. Just someone coldly telling them that the entirety of Earth doesn’t matter.
So now I just walk around, doing what I want. Nobody bothers me. It’s peaceful. It’s zen. It’s also depressing.
Knowing that happyness can only come from time travel, and magic, and fantasy.
Like, can you imagine traveling back to 1992, and flying on a magic carpet, trying to seduce a 16 year old? Because that’s the plot of Alladin. We only liked that movie because Robin Williams was a treasure. Need proof? Show of hands, who saw the Alladin remake with Will Smith? No? Nobody? Ok. Who would watch a remake of Mrs Doubtfire without Robin Williams? How about Mork & Mindy without him?
These projects on paper sound like a chore to watch. He just brought a talent level that made anything work. Honestly, I wish they had made a Godzilla movie with his face and voice CGI’d only Godzillas head.
He’s just walking around, destroying the city, cracking one liners, as city planners try to stop him. See? That is a terrible idea, but god dammit, you KNOW you want to see it now. You’d go to the theater, and pay for $18 popcorn. And a $20 ticket. And a $12 cup of flat soda.
All to just watch a movie that may as well be called “Robin Williams is Robin Williams for 2 hours as a lizard”.
And ya know what? You just proved my point. You just spent like $50 for a 2 hour movie that you admitted from the begining was a flawed concept to start with. Just paying these billionaires. Like they need your money. This is what the world is. This is the world we built. It’s not going to get any better. Don’t look for improvement in your lifetime. 1000 years ago we used to carve out peoples eyeballs for believing in the wrong invisable man in the sky. And now two nations go to war.
It’s taken 1000+ years to take a half step forward from that. This is just what humans are. This is what the world is.
So you’ll excuse me if I stopped giving a fuck about filling out your little forms to move one set of numbers from one column, to another column, which ultimately has no effect on anything, and nobody will ever check or care.
If your dog is fitting inside your little asshole, there’s a whole dark side of the internet that we don’t need kids to see THOSE videos…
Ok…but the official choices? Those suck.
Hero. Ok. That one’s cool.
Companion. That’s just someone you hang out with. A hobo on the bus is a companion for 20 minutes because he won’t shut up about how working at McDonalds is a life threatening job.
Worker. That’s everybody over the age of 8. What the hell???
Replace Hero with Super Hero. Replace Companion with Champion. And replace Worker with Boss Bitch.
Yeeeaaaaahhhhh!!!
“Dude, why are you selling a microwave from the 60s?”
Worked for Cena vs Rock in the 2010s. The first Wrestlemania match was billed as once in a lifetime.
They did it three times. And they planned for it to ALWAYS be three from the innitial stages of planning.
Which means they FULLY could have billed the first match as literally anything else.
Now, you may be wondering what this has to do with trump. Well keep in mind that vince mcmahon was trumps single highest donor by far. It’s been said that vince single handedly paid for trumps first presidency. And now his wife is head of small business under trumps cabinet.
My point here is that trump and his cronies are a bunch of carney scam artists. And he surrounds himself with carney scam artists.
So for rudy to say once in a lifetime, knowing damn sure well it isn’t? That’s par for the coarse.
I’d take all but the blue one. Once my powers become known, my crush would love me! Together we’d run my campaign for mayor. I’d win on the promise that the browns will win the superbowl. Yes, I’m making a fecies joke about the BROWNS wining the SUPERBOWL.
I just gotta make the other team shit their pants at the right times.
Jim Cornette is a pro-wrestling personality who’s known for his fast loud mouth on-air.
He’s also known as being hard to get along with by most people.
So in the 1980s, when he was first becoming nationally well known, he would have bickering arguements with his coworkers. He made a list of people he didn’t like.
Then in the 1990s, he worked with a guy named Vince Russo, who he still to this day HAAAAAATES. He’s quoted as saying “Spite is a hell of a motivator, and it’s the reason I’m going to live one day longer than Vince Russo. Just so I can piss on his grave.”
So after dealing with Vince Russo, the WWF hired someone he worked with years earlier, and found he wasn’t as mad at him as he once was.
He was quoted as saying “You used to be much higher on my shitlist, but you’ve moved down a few spots simply by not doing anything differently!”
I’ve always taken that last quote to be an interesting take on perspective. How things can be exactly the same, but your perspective may shift with experience.
With all that said, I see this picture, of something that is being called “Pizza”, and I realize that pineapple on pizza isn’t the abomination to the form of pizza that I once percieved it as.
And this is what I get for reading the comments. NOT having to read the article.
I’m confused why they’re singling out women in this. 60% of women died from a family member or partner.
I’m honestly surprised it’s not higher. Who else would kill them? And do you not think similiar if not higher numbers are true for men?
Would it be more comforting if the statistic were “60% of women who were killed, were killed by a total stranger, for no reason”?
If anything, the 40% scares me more.
Yeah, but just do it the Charlie Kelly way. Just say “FILIBUSTER” over and over and over.
Whoops!
Whoopsie!
