Going bankrupt from a random hospital visit.
A lack of KD but the All Dressed is trickling in.

…are you joking right now?

The radioactive fascist clown squatting in our Whitehouse and kidnapping people off the streets in broad daylight has made a couple news publications. Maybe you’ve seen one or two headlines.
Oh, and by squatting, I mean literally squatting down and taking an actual shit on our constitution, not squatting like inhabiting illegally, because apparently the majority of our country actually asked for this.
Unpopular opinion, don’t think he actually got the votes.
I’d be less surprised by that, than if literal Vulcans with elf ears landed in Montana tomorrow and gave the Vulcan hand sign.
Surprise medical bills; random shootings; a fascist dictator leading the country; the complete and entire erosion of the rule of law
a fascist dictator leading the country; the complete and entire erosion of the rule of law
It’s more relevant in the states right now, but this is something we should all worry about all the time.
To clarify for anyone who missed it:
Trump made a law that states that the president of the US is above the law.
This means that, even after the next election, he could remain president, since the laws that prevent this don’t apply to him. He could also just straight up shoot one in the streets and wouldn’t be able to be punished.
To clarify, Trump passed no such law. It was a supreme court ruling that happened last year, during the end of Biden’s presidency. It only applies to official actions, so could be interpreted to not apply to violations while campaigning for office (but this is the same supreme court that put the presidency above the law)
It gives the president unchecked power, if they choose to abuse it
Wait really lol? Idk how this could legally have happened? And why isnt this across the news (nobody is allowed to say some degree of “but that’s what they want you to think”) lol

Yeah, I don’t think it got a lot of coverage.
What makes you think this did not get a lot of coverage?
Wtf lol
Food. Shelter. Healthcare. In a lot of places water. Just staying in general is markedly more difficult.
Trust me, we worry about shelter and food and electricity
Have you seen Canadian house prices?
Canada has some of the least affordable cities in North America but it also has some of the most affordable cities. If you are able to move then Canada has some very affordable options. But I appreciate that the ability to move is a luxury that many folks don’t have because of circumstances like family commitments.
No but in my neighborhood it’s 3.5kUSD/month for a one bedroom studio
Ay, you live in Boston too?
Aw shit I mean uhhhhh no?
Ah yeah, of course not. Who would live in a hellscape where having an apartment to yourself is a fantasy?
Getting shot anywhere you go
🙄I’ve never been shot even once as an American.
I practice my quick draw relentlessly so I always shoot first.
I think we might need a book to answer that. A comment seems insufficient.
A friend in the US told me: I cannot work more hours because I need to keep my income at specific range to be able to qualify for provisional or federal medical insurance.
This is so fucked up.
Literally the poverty line
Being stuck in a shitty job, because you now have a medical condition, and the insurance of the job you want refuses to cover you.
I do believe the reputational damage caused by the orange one might be one of the things. That and obvious tariff issues. Hopefully it’s temporary , or you have people who just don’t care.
Having moved from one to the other
- Health insurance (it’s not perfect but it’s something)
- Random shootings (they still happen but are not as endemic)
- Corn syrup in literally every food
- Having clean streets (particularly in cities)
Starting a war, forgetting your gun somewhere and only having your spare one to work with, making the payment on your medical bills, remembering if the McRib is back, worrying that the exploited people who did all the things you don’t feel like doing will be deported, and forgetting to tell the President “thank you” every day as a tribute to their brilliant leadership.
The chance of a nationwide maple-syrup shortage.
