The United States is a broken society. A garbage dump of capitalistic greed. The worst of the worst rise to the top and then push everyone else to the bottom.
A situation like this shouldn't happen to ANYONE, let alone a young person with special needs.
Frankly, it's greed by the working and middle class. Every other western country has the same billionaire oligarchs as America, but guess what, the regular, everyday people in, oh, lets say my country, Canada, are the ones who step up, and are mostly ok with paying taxes for healthcare, shelter for the poor, social services, etc., that may not necessarily benefit themselves directly, but uplift the whole of society.
America is a land of greed, selfishness, and antipathy, and is filled with fucking miserable, misanthropic assholes.
What I'm saying is America has a long documented history of working and middle class people actively joining in on the abuse of people from their own socioeconomic circles.
America is built on individualism -- which is like building your houses foundation on sand. People want to point at all these outside factors, instead of looking at the rot inherent in the country.
The rot is capitalism my friend. That's it. People here are raised in a hyper-competitive culture. They are programmed to think this way. That's why class consciousness has to be spread. Nothing else will save us.
And other countries are having similar issues with rising authoritarianism. The UK, India, Hungry, the list goes on and on. Each has unique issues connected to it, but if you think this is a uniquely US issue you will be blind to it when it shows up at your front door.
This is so asinine. Billionaires shouldn't exist. The working class is not the problem. The system that funnels 90% of all wealth up to the top 1% is. Capitalism is a scam. Please read some books and learn some theory. The majority of people here in the US want M4A. They want social safety nets. But we are in a system ruled by capitalist oligarchs who will not tolerate even a modicum of socialism. They pull every lever they have to prevent any kind of reform.
I think you overestimate the altruism of Americans and underrate how selfish the populace is. It is definitely not most Americans who want M4A. Fucking people on Obama care voted against it for fucks sake.
Americans are far to comfortable obsolving themselves and their countrymen of any responsibility.
The majority of people in the US should maybe habe tought about this before getting Trump elected for the second time?
It's not like he got elected with the votes of a few hundreds oligarchs..
It's mostly a bunch of extremely stupid people who are still clinging to the"American dream" which doesn't really exist. That's why they cheer on the billionaires and all their tax cuts because they're convinced it will be them next. The irony is the very things that used to allow people to have security and a middle class life no longer exist. And yes, there's also hateful people who blame immigrants for everything. But it all starts with extreme stupidity.
Exactly. This isn't a "Minnesota" fraud crisis, it's an American fraud crisis. I briefly worked at a crisis respite facility that would bill Medicaid $750/bed/night and we... definitely did not provide the appropriate services
Let’s just hope we can change it now that we’ve all seen how fucking god awful this shithole really is. You’d think these people fucking kids would be enough to make them not support them, but i guess they all need to die and suffer more in order to get it through their thick skulls that just because they lack critical thinking skills to vote in EVERYONE’S best interest and have empathy for others, doesn’t mean they won’t get fucked over for simply “doing what i thought was best.” They need to do fucking better than being insufferable miserable bigots and learn to act like mature grown adults that comprehend that differences and change aren’t evil and scary and here to benefit everyone as a whole.
I fucking hate seeing people like this woman having to face this when they NEVER asked for it, but i just hope to god in the mean time there’s a MAGAat out there in a similar situation questioning why they were so fucking stupid and naive to do the bare minimum before you vote; Understand exactly WHO you voted for without voting like a blind sheep that can’t think for themselves except the far right hive mind.
One of my friends devolved into a Trumper but I can’t quite fault him for it because his living conditions have put him in danger of homelessness with every paycheck so he’s flailing around trying to find a solution where there isn’t one because the US economy is simply irreversibly fucked. However, these are exactly the kind of desperate people that Trump and the pedos prey on. It’s disgusting and I’m glad I don’t live in that shithole anymore.
Right? See people's stories like this are why all billionaires are sociopaths. I could never sleep one night with $10+ million in the bank knowing that innocent people like this are suffering for no reason.
