Oath, I started reading comments and when I saw a 5 part example, that was then corrected and added to, I peaced out. No health system, private or public, should require a 1500 word essay response to “How much do I pay for this procedure?”

Terrifying. OP- I sincerely hope something changes for you guys over there because that insurance process is lunacy.

Nobody has muscle tissue in their fingers. Everybody’s fingers are “more fat than muscle”. Muscled fingers would make you have a weird hand.

Just got engaged to my long term partner. We live with 2 other people and, with the way things are going, we will be married and still sharing accommodation because 2 full time jobs aren’t enough to cover rent AND food.

My bootstraps can’t be pulled any higher. I work 6 days a week and spend my Sunday working on my web design business to try make ends meet. Thank god I’m paying my landlords mortgage. I can’t imagine how they’re coping at the moment…

Its a clown world.

Sorry if this isn’t the right place. But the comments here spurred this train of thought.

It seems everyone agrees that the ultra wealthy are the real problem. Yet there is always consistent divisive arguments about which group of people that the wealthy should be oppressing ‘more’.

Men and women of every race are being brutalized by a system that doesn’t give two shits about us. This system is governed by people who are incapable of empathy.

Studies and articles are released constantly detailing the destruction of our society/civilisation and instead of humans banding against the monsters that control the wealth (and, by extension, the world), yet we argue amongst ourselves.

We are being systematically turned on each other so that the 1% can become the .1%. Until the 99% can actually co-operate against the system, we are doomed to repeat this God forsaken cycle.

The distinction was being made between Hamas and Palestinian people. I think it’s a safe assumption that Hamas isn’t fighting the land of Israel itself, but instead the people. Sure, Israel (the land, the physical location) is definitely being damaged and attacked, but I’m certain the OP didn’t want to bring attention to some damaged environment- rather the dead and dying people.
