    Remember: we treat and help even those who smoke themselves to death while we do it. Empathy is a human quality. By gloating and being cruel, we sink to their level. Even if this women never learns her lesson, please show empathy and help of you can.

      What about people who did not want to get vaccinated, wear masks and self-isolate? They should embrace rugged individualists’ moral hazard and agree to sign a responsibility waiver on healthcare related to COVID (or at least get deprioritized triage whenever the services were overwhelmed). It would still suck, because they’d probably get responsible people who they share a space with into hospital…but it would put the onus on them rather than the big bad government.

        yeah was really, really upset during COVID that the idiots literally bringing the risk to our healthcare workers still demanded healthcare from the workers they despised, convinced it was all a hoax by people who’s medical expertise came from late night infomercials.

        funny how they went from brave loudmouths to mewling, gurgling shitbags so quickly

      Smokers harm themselves. This person harmed everyone and wants sympathy.

      I say this as a (perhaps now former) pacivist: Fuck her. I’ll focus the last bit of empathy on the people that didn’t vote to have people ripped away from their families by masked sociopaths cosplaying as police.

      Did you miss all Herman Cain awards? It’s not a joke. We’ve been telling them exactly what did happen, what is happening, and what will continue to happen.

    The libs are the ones paying the medicaid tax, and who make to much to qualify to use it. The rich don’t pay it on the majority of their income. So what we have here is the cost of socialism but none of the benefits on the middle class libs. The rich get sweet crony capitalism paid for by the middle class libs. The elderly happily use medicare + part B, paid for by the middle class libs, and then vote republican. Socialism’s benefits with none of it’s costs.

    I would say republicans have been owning the libs for quite some time. The libs are tapped out though.

        I was ok with it until they started stripping rights from minority groups. I’m personally done subsidizing people who want me and my family destroyed.

        Now is the time to look out for me and mine, and I will not vote for any candidate unless they will advocate for the socialist contract for EVERYONE, and package that with putting into law the rights important to me and my family. Either the US becomes a petro-techno-oligarchy or it gets fixed. In the former, I look out for me and don’t subsidize people who try to take my rights away, and in the latter we all keep our beliefs from infringing on others and pay our share towards a greater good. I’m not waiting around footing the bill any longer though.

          I agree with your sentiment 100%. In principle, though, I don’t think it’s okay to categorize and lump people together based on income bracket, assign them a political ideology because of it, and then discriminate against them on that basis.

          In practice, however, at this stage of the game, I’m not sure you’re wrong.

    Dear maga shithead:

    Just to add insult to injury: any science that might have helped cure/treat you? That is gone too.

    And its going to get a lot hotter and lot more expensive for you to live, and managing climate change? That is gone as well.

    You fucked us ALL by your stupid choices.

    Perhaps intentionally voting against ones own financial interests

    As a joke that NO ONE thought was funny

    Might not have been a sound idea
