Such a stretch for campaign advertising. Where is the funding going to come from for this "Universal Basic Income"? What bearing will it have on us in the long term? Also, who the hell is this guy?

 

Again, definitely a stretch. I do like part of what I'm reading, though.. He's an "entrepreneur"? Boy that's what we need right now......... - _0

 

Seems like the main thing is a VAT and reducing, if not getting rid of, inefficient welfare systems.

Making medical drugs safer and more reliable doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.

 

What policies are you mostly against?

 

In theory, the FDA does a lot of good in making sure prescription and OTC drugs aren't hurting people. Hell, I'm all for regulating an industry that consistently abuses the free market. In this case more regulation hurts the consumer more than the companies. Drugs become prohibitively expensive to recoup the cost of complying with excessive regulation. Not to mention the DEA's meddling with opioids has made them increasingly difficult to get for people who need them, and having little to no effect on the addicts and black market dealers besides higher street prices. It also led to the abuse and importation of fentanyl. Unless his plan to end the opioid crisis is to make the safer alternatives more readily available and end the fentanyl scourge, I'll urge everyone I know not to vote for him. That, and I don't believe in Socialism.

 

Actually yes, there's virtually nothing preventing an employer from firing an employee due to sexual orientation, at the federal level at least. So one of the common "shock factor" arguments that I've heard is that in many states it's entirely feasible for a gay couple to get married on Sunday and lose both their jobs on Monday

 

Oh yeah, that one too

And also I agree with the paid family leave thing, America is quite literally one of the worst countries to work in for maternity leave, and has next to no options for paternity leave

 

The health insurance in our country is fucked due to all the regulations that are in place that sky rocket the living crap out of them. Insurances companies have to include a bunch of BS I will never use/or want because the government says so.

I actually didn't know that was a thing with LGBT rights. Thanks to you and total for letting me know.

On family leave. It isn't the companies job to work around your life. It is the other way around. That is why they hired you. If you are a good employee they will normally work with you. However yes the company does come first for them.

 

The thing is that ultimately the workers control the fate of the company. However we've become so wrapped up in the mundane stylings of the 9 to 5 that we fail to realize this. I make it perfectly clear that I have no care for the company over me and mine before being hired. So far its worked out rather well. Of course, you DO have to show you're a worthy candidate and one to be trusted.

 

No problems there, but I have adhd, do you know how much of a pain it is to get your meds/how people are not diagnosed because they are afraid they will be looked at as addicts looking for a fix?
