@lemmy.worldI pay over $12k in insurance premiums a year. My child has to spend the night on the general floor because the ER wouldn't let him go home after what ended up being a minor pneumonia. We only saw the nurse once, low acuity, respiratory techs only giving him inhaler puffs, probably the healthiest kid in the hospital. Got a $17k bill and they wanted over $4k from me after insurance.
Also found out if they didn't charged my insurance first, my total bill would qualify for 90% off. But that is a double edge sword because my insurance has a max out of pocket each year. The US is broken y'all.
I'm white and I would never speak to the racism you have experienced. But I can tell you that conservatives are more likely to say racist shit about Mexicans around whites.
If you want to vote Republican, that's your right. We live in a democracy, I don't get too upset just because someone has a different POV. But stop lying and saying your vote towards a party full of openly racist politicians is actually the Democrat's fault. No bro, conservatism is just your POV.
You make it sound like if people told Latinos they can't vote for Democrats then they wouldn't want to vote Republican anymore. But we all know that ain't true. Grievances only go direction way in the USA, from the right.
The GOP is the party for people in a bubble that want to feign victimhood while oppressing working people who are actually the oppressed.
There's a conservative Latino in my family who married a white karen, he's always bashing other Latinos. It doesn't matter what color their skin is, rightwing Republicans act the same in my experience.
Instead of writing paragraphs complaining that users and sourcing widely understood facts, you can spend a few seconds searching yourself.
It's well known the Israeli government moved troops to the west bank to help settlers and many Israeli allies warned of chatter of an impending attack.
Here's one story but it's behind a paywall: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-11-20/ty-article-magazine/.premium/the-women-soldiers-who-warned-of-a-pending-hamas-attack-and-were-ignored/0000018b-ed76-d4f0-affb-eff740150000
Also Israel has delivered cash to hamas to prop them up to justify further violence against Palestinians: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/10/world/middleeast/israel-qatar-money-prop-up-hamas.html
These "why I left the left" grifters, if their prominences don't lead reasonable people to believe how society engineered to stear us conservative. Then recall James Comey a couple weeks before the 2016 election. Which candidate's investigation did he tell the world about, which did he stay mum on? Which investigation was BS, which one showed strong links to foreign agents?
Neoliberalism y'all, TSA's equipment and all the services that go along with it are actually revenue streams invented by mega donors. The "free" market in action.
It's not Israel, it is Western leaders, who act more like a Mafia boss that doesn't get their hands dirty.
Our leaders aren't politicians, they are a class of cosmopolitan billionaires from all around the world. Genocide is bad for business so they are trying to suppress the coverage. As that fails, I think a reckoning will happen to the Israeli leadership. See South Africa.
Why is it so important to you that it remain controlled by the Chinese Communist Party
That's a lie. If it was under the control of the CCP it would never be this profitable. Governments don't want the responsibility of operating a tech company, they just want all the user data which tech companies happily comply with. The US has been among the worst in user privacy.
Governments are the bad guys here. The US could protect it's citizens, instead they project their own tyranny onto China. Patriotism is making you blind.
