Political Discussion

Going to try to phrase this as neutrally as I can: is linking it here a solicitation for feedback? Or just an appeal for eyeballs?

I'm happy to accept feedback on it. I mainly posted it for anyone who wants to learn more about her candidacy and history.
 
I've been clicking around the site overall, including the About Us section. I think I have a better idea now of what this site is (and what it thinks it is). I don't think I'm going to have much constructive criticism about it, I'm afraid. Withdrawing my original question.

Fair enough. I appreciate you looking around nevertheless.

Golden Girls is becoming a reality in the United States.

Intense financial pressure is leading to senior citizens getting other senior citizens as roommates to help ease the burden of the cost of living when living on a fixed income.

Women are more likely than men to live together as room mates or be a house mate to an other senior citizen couple.

I don’t see this as a bad thing. We live a pretty solitary existence in this county. My wife has had family members move their mothers and fathers over to the US when they get old. They usually return citing loneliness.

American culture is unsusally individualistic in the way it organizes the family.
 
This right here really saddens me...

When a 16 year old boy rapes a 16 year old girl and prosecutors ask the courts to try the boy as an adult because he got the girl drunk and was unable to give consent, not to mention, legally, she could not give consent due to age the family court judge responded with the following reasoning for denying the request...

$1200 for a Bed, not a bedroom... A company has created the idea of making beds available to give people access to affordable housing in cities that have high costs of living.

$1200 sounds like a lot for a bed, but I'm assuming these cities are not reasonable at all. Something like this could probably work in Boston as the cost of living is just as high. Over the last 10 to 15 years only luxury housing has been build targeting people who make $100,000 a year. In all new housing or remodeled housing costs of rent are insane. For example, when I looked into it 3 years back when picking a place to live when I got a job in Boston, I found that studio apartments started at $4300 a month in such places :oops: No way could I ever afford that. Most people I know at work who rent in the city have room mates. They their rent is $4000+, but split between two or three people in two or three bedroom apartments in older buildings.

Though, too me $1200 sounds like way to much for me for a bed. Go to Rhode Island or Wester Mass and you can rent a 3 bedroom house for that much. It's also double my first apartments rent.
 



Bully In Chief? Idiot In Chief? What is Trump going for?

I see things like this and think......... I know his base loves his non-pc approach, but if this ass hat ever figures out, or listens to anyone on his team about "How" he speaks and starts being a little more PC, you'll never get him out of office. So in his own eloquent choice of words, he's too stupid to see that.
 
KY dems are running a pro trump democrat against McConnell next year in addition to a centrist democrat who have both handily lost state elections within the past two election cycles.

This party is so fucking pathetic and inept it is absolutely unbelievable. Like holy shit, all you have to do is put up somebody who doesn't SUCK. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK.
 
The appeals court is will start hearing the case about striking down the American healthcare Act today. No decision is expected today at this time.

Taxes lead the charge and was joined by 19 other republican led states. Last year a federal judge in Texas struck down the Affordable Care Act.

In 2012 The Supreme Court upheld the law. However, changes the Republican Party made to the individual mandate that were baked into their 2017 tax reform have changed things. The issue is it's unconstitutional to have an individual mandate under the exercise of Congress's Tax Power because the penalty for not having health insurance no longer exists.

While California is leading the charge along with many other blue states to appeal the decision, it appears the republicans have found the loop hole and legal grounds to get the ACA thrown out. Unless we can can get the penalty back in place and signed off by the president by the time this case reaches the Supreme Court the Affordable Care Act will likely be ruled un Constitutional.

What does that mean? It means the end of Obama Care and its market. The Individual Market was near non-existent in many areas before the Obama Care Market, and will likely be worse once the Obama Care market closes. This means if you are not eligible for Medicare and don't have insurance through work, chances are you may not have any options for individual insurance depending on where you live.

What the fuck is a pro-Trump democrat? Isn’t that a contradiction in terms?

I take it Amy McGrath is the centrist you’re referring to. I can’t vote in KY, but I think considering it’s McConnell, who is worse than Trump, in this case it’s “literally anyone else” than him.

I have insurance through work, so I’m lucky...for now. However, my 13 year old boy had a brain tumor removed when he was just 3. He’s fine now, but this means that he would be uninsurable, even though he has been cured. After the removal, he had already racked up about $300,000 in charges (covered by insurance). But with this and lifetime maxes possibly being reinstated, he could very well be screwed.

Fuck the Republicans.
