  • This poster makes no sense in a few ways. Implying 900b for Nevada but below it has only 35b? Lines pointing at a small slice of the big military pie implying this would just take a small part of the budget but actually proposing to cut 90% leaving that small slice for the military budget and the big gray section for spending on other stuff.

    Why are you only repairing one city's roads, funding one county's schools, and one transit system? Why only building a few thousand housing units?





  • That's kind of how HMOs like Kaiser work. They are really good at dealing with issues that could get severe. But things that are not going to turn into something that will cost them money they don't really do a good job at, such as mental health care. Diagnosing you with anxiety or ADHD and prescribing you drugs for it just costs them money, so if they can make it super hard for you to get the diagnosis then they don't have to spend it. It's not really something that will eventually land you in an expensive hospital stay or long term PT.


  • I'll never understand why the white collar folks agree to scab for a job they weren't hired to do. That shit is not their job, they'd be plenty justified saying no. What's the long term thinking? You're gonna work in a factory for a few weeks or months until the strike ends so that what? The union gets a worse deal and the company looses less money and now all your project are behind? It's not like management is going to be happy to delay all those projects. I guess it's just the fear of being fired for being the only one to say no. Almost like everyone needs a union.
