You gotta be fucking kidding me. What sort of disconnected boomer statement is that!?

I hate using such terms as "boomer", but how else am I going to describe this?

I'm in Denmark, and I can just about get by on one job. I have friends from America struggling to make ends meet, and they're working TWO jobs!

So the fuck is this guy talking about!?

I mean Republican assholes is a much better and more accurate adjective.

They're close to saying the quiet part out loud here. The reason (one of them) universal healthcare gets so much pushback is because an employer provided healthcare is a major way to keep the working class in their place.

I know so many people who have stayed in shitty abusive jobs because they can't lose the healthcare. Imagine if people could fuck off and decide to live a less resource intensive life? Would be terrible for the economy.

I'm pissed at the state of ~~healthcare~~ health business in this (u.s.) country, and I think you should be too!

Theres people that was scared of losing their jobs that they didnt disobey managment and leave the factory before it was washed away in the helene floods... many died. But dont worry, the family got a $100 walmart giftcard for compensation...
