    So people are just going to die right?

    We’re going to have old people cut off from their health care, rural areas will have their hospitals closed, and people are going to die.

    Why is the world such a sick place?

            A few years feels optimistic. I’d wager on by the end of this year, at the rate everything is getting defunded.

            I think people vastly underestimate the effectiveness of annual mitigation efforts by multiple agencies that have either already been cut or on the chopping block.

            Many of these agencies go unnoticed because they work well, but will be immediately obvious once they’re gone.

              Agreed but they’ll need out of this wave of fascism first.

              I sincerely hope the whole world turns against the US-Russian axis of fascism. But y’all will have to do some doing to get there.

              I sincerely hope this is the world’s last go around with fascism but I’m not so delusional as to think it the case. But I am delusional enough to think maybe someday it will be. Maybe someday we’ll win.

          Or we’re aware or our country’s effect on tge world, especially negative. Some of the US aid and our previous acceptance of asylum seekers in my opinion was required because the US either caused or was complicit in tge reason such aid was needed. Especially in South America, with all the coups and school of the Americas etc.

          So I am thinking the plan is to simply discard the weak/disabled starting with the old sick folks. The rich have no need for them, as they can provide nothing of monetary value to the rich. Why would they waste good money, time and effort keeping the weak alive. What I don’t understand is a blood thirsty vampire like Miller…he’s never going to be a billionaire, he’s just pushing his Nazi wet dream to simp, he’ll never be in their club.

          PS forgot to add…the physically well of the 25,000,000 left after this cull get to live life in fudal times serving what is to become something akin to monarchy.

            Have you ever seen photos/video of the Nazi high command? Not exactly the picture of “Aryan supremacy.” Some part of it has to come from a place of deep self-loathing I think.

      I don’t know if this one is considered insider trading. The bill was public record and we all knew how he was going to vote. I guess he could have known the result before the official vote, But at the same time anyone can look up party affiliations and vote history.
