Income equality. There is way too much disparity between the CEO and the person performing the labor. 
 

The mega rich should bare more of the tax load. 
 

Nobody should be living in poverty. Children should not be going to bed hungry. 
 

Veterans shouldn’t be homeless.

I’d ask you the same question but I don’t think this site has enough bandwidth to support your response without crashing.

Nah. My answer is probably pretty simple. Universal healthcare for everyone, funded by tax payers. I’m not okay with parents, even those who have great insurance, going bankrupt because their child has cancer, or people later in life spending every dime they have on treatments to keep them alive and see their grandchildren grow up as much as possible, leaving their children little to no inheritance. People being forced to spend a large sum of money on something like insulin to stay alive when it’s just a condition they were born with is also not something I look at and say yeah that’s fine. It’s not okay to me that we see insurance companies denying scans that could catch a disease while it’s treatable instead of later on when it’s not. Also denying certain treatments that doctors themselves say a patient needs, forcing individuals to go without or pay out of pocket. Not sure who thought it would be a great idea to make insurance companies, whose sole purpose is to make the largest possible profit, in charge of our health and well being. The amount of people who have to create go fund me pages just because a drunk driver with no insurance smashed into them and they have to pay outrageous medical bills is just insane.

I guess that is a left leaning view? For what it’s worth, I have more right leaning views than you probably think. Not everyone fits into a tiny bubble. We are all complex individuals and one’s views are almost always way more complicated than conservative/liberal or republican/democrat.

Those are good ones. I think most would agree with all of that. When you actually sit down and talk about every issue with someone, you’ll realize you agree on more than you think. There’s just that minor few that make the divide so large.

Both good points. Wondering what the tax hike would be for said universal health care, though. Not saying it’s not needed. Also, very disappointed the way the VA handled my Dad during his last month alive. They were an embarrassment and it infuriated me.

Still 25th, but I'm still glad most of these dumb fuckers keep driving past WV.  I'm actually surprised WV is lower than Kentucky but then again when you see the shit they are fleeing in Lexington and Louisville, I understand.  Nashville seems to be the go to for them.

Well if it could be done correctly that would be the gold standard. So far in just about every country it's not working as advertised. England, over a quarter of people are now paying private insurance because their "universal health care" does either not provide sufficiently or it takes so long to get your care they can't wait. I agree too many people go bankrupt due to health care costs. I will be the first to tell you how ignorant I was to what a family goes through when there is a cancer DX. First myself and then my wife. Prior to experiencing it I had no clue. But to just say the government should take care of it, you have to ask yourself, Do the folks on medicare get first class health care? Do veterans get first class health care? (Not to make this a trump issue but he really got veterans health care upgraded). But you have to ask yourself, if they can't run those properly, how are they going to run the whole country?

Anybody who thinks government controlled “Universal Healthcare” is a good idea, should spend a day with me at the VA.

Also, let's throw in that the government can't ruin your life because the media created a story?

There are a bunch of innocent folks who have had their lives destroyed just because Trump hired them.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars spent trying to fight the government defending themselves only for it to wind up in SCOTUS that deems it unconstitutional. (OH,​ we paid for the prosecution)

OK, never mind. Sorry you are broke and lost your business. 

Have a good day...

 

This should scare everyone.

Trump fined $1 million for bringing frivolous lawsuit:

"This case should never have been brought,” U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks wrote in a 46-page ruling. “Its inadequacy as a legal claim was evident from the start. No reasonable lawyer would have filed it. Intended for a political purpose, none of the counts of the amended complaint stated a cognizable legal claim.”

“Mr. Trump is a prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries,” Judge Middlebrooks wrote. “He is the mastermind of strategic abuse of the judicial process, and he cannot be seen as a litigant blindly following the advice of a lawyer. He knew full well the impact of his actions.”

Judge Middlebrooks said Mr. Trump’s suit had been “brought in bad faith for an improper purpose” and had “needlessly harmed” the 31 individuals and organizations, including the Democratic National Committee, he had sued “in order to dishonestly advance a political narrative.” The judge added that Mr. Trump’s use of the courts had helped to undermine the public’s confidence in them.

“A continuing pattern of misuse of the courts by Mr. Trump and his lawyers undermines the rule of law, portrays judges as partisans and diverts resources from those who have suffered actual legal harm,” he wrote.

Looks like a lot of vital members are in favor of mis-using the courts. Talk about “the man” trying to hold you down…imagine having the President of the United States, suing you when you’re scraping by to make a living as a contractor.

Brother, I’m just a realist. 
 

Something does need to be done about healthcare, but I believe it lies in regulating the insurance industry and cost of medical supplies. Q tips in the Hospital shouldn’t cost $8 each. Reminds me of $490 toilet seats in the military. Ridiculous! 
 

Never mind the cost of medication. By this time we are all aware of how big and strong the pharmaceutical lobby is and how corrupt our politicians on both sides of the aisle are.

It’s sooo funny, to me…that there are those of us with a rather conservative mindset; yet, we favor fairness in most things for the working man: but, not in the status quo format that so many others seem to follow to their loss.

I can never support outright Socialism. Again, I’m a realist, I’ve travelled the globe and seen the evils that men do, first hand. 
 

But yeah, deep down I root for the little guy, probably because I am one and recognize my caste.

Owning a bunch of vacation rentals, I have had lots of people stay in my rentals because they were here to get medical procedures because their countries universal health care sucks so bad and they say arguing with Americans about it is tiresome when they are the ones actually living it.

By Jeremy W. Peters and Katie Robertson

Feb. 27, 2023

Rupert Murdoch, chairman of the conservative media empire that owns Fox News, acknowledged in a deposition that several hosts for his networks promoted the false narrative that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald J. Trump, and that he could have stopped them but didn’t, court documents released on Monday showed.

“They endorsed,” Mr. Murdoch said under oath in response to direct questions about the Fox hosts Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo, according to a legal filing by Dominion Voting Systems. “I would have liked us to be stronger in denouncing it in hindsight,” he added, while also disclosing that he was always dubious of Mr. Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud.

Asked whether he doubted Mr. Trump, Mr. Murdoch responded: “Yes. I mean, we thought everything was on the up-and-up.” At the same time, he rejected the accusation that Fox News as a whole had endorsed the stolen election narrative. “Not Fox,” he said. “No. Not Fox.”

Mr. Murdoch’s remarks, which he made last month as part of Dominion’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox, added to the evidence that Dominion has accumulated as it tries to prove its central allegation: The people running the country’s most popular news network knew Mr. Trump’s claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election were false but broadcast them anyway in a reckless pursuit of ratings and profit.

NYT's, fox news, Trump, Nobody fucking cares.

 

It's your obsession.

 

On Jan. 5, 2021, the day before the attack at the Capitol, Mr. Murdoch and Suzanne Scott, the chief executive of Fox News Media, talked about whether Mr. Hannity and his fellow prime-time hosts, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, should make it clear to viewers that Mr. Biden had won the election. Mr. Murdoch said in his deposition that he had hoped such a statement “would go a long way to stop the Trump myth that the election was stolen."

"According to the filing, Ms. Scott said of the hosts, “Privately they are all there,” but “we need to be careful about using the shows and pissing off the viewers.” No statement of that kind was made on the air.

Dominion details the close relationship that Fox hosts and executives enjoyed with senior Republican Party officials and members of the Trump inner circle, revealing how at times Fox was shaping the very story it was covering. It describes how Mr. Murdoch placed a call to the Republican leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, immediately after the election. In his deposition, Mr. Murdoch testified that during that call he likely urged Mr. McConnell to “ask other senior Republicans to refuse to endorse Mr. Trump’s conspiracy theories and baseless claims of fraud.”

Plugging Carl into a certain side of the argument that’s being put forth by followers of the narrative defines “Ironic”.

I agree, that's why we refuse to let the traditional media and big tech bamboozle us. No matter how hard they try. The constant stream of colluded disinformation over and over, and censorship of the truth so people can never hear the truth, and yet we stay strong. Why, because your bamboozling campaign is nothing short of stupid. Please tell me how many here are going on vacation with that extra money Kami said her and Joe saved us by lowering our energy and heating bill. Yes she actually said that just last week.
