Then, you also have the fact that a lot of the elderly that can afford to get healthcare in the first place have a lot of the three things I mentioned earlier due to them having planned ahead for a long time for the years where their bodies would start to break down.
false. the times back then are not equal to now. You had mutliple economic crashes reversal of polices. and also the fact the minium wage was more up to date with the people of the past than the people of now.
Right now the federal minimum wage is 7.25.
You have the fact there has been countless attacks on workers unions, practically giving companies free reign to do whatever the fuck they want.
The federal minium wage back at 1980, which was 3.10. when adjusted for inflation was 10.53
You have the fact that the rich are not being taxed as much as they should be, despite the fact making many many times over what the normal person could make and 100x times more than what they could make in the past.
This essentially means that those in the past who made decent amount of money in the past were perfectly fine. But people from ages 30 and downward are completely and utterly fucked.

And that's what insurance, having savings, investments that you allow to grow over the course of your life is all about; having money for unexpected events, emergencies, and for any rainy day in general.
Cool but you realize that 40% of the average workers pay goes to rent alone? what about other expenses? food, water, car expenses (if it breaks down or something happens. I'm sure you had to change oil plenty of times at this point)
Oh and let's not forget that jobs are not required to provide health insurance, so go add that too. Oh your diabetic type 1? go add another 5% To those expenses. Your going to quickly realize that there is very little to save.
Let's not forget to mention in 1963, you could pay for collage with a job.
In the modern day, that is completely infeasible. You could work two entry level jobs, and still not make enough to pay for collage.

But when expenses start rising thanks to government suddenly stepping in to power their way over private insurers, you have to wonder what the government is mandating that would cause costs to rise so high in the first place.
Meanwhile united states is the highest spender in healthcare already, while having the worst care. Meanwhile the UK spends less money on health care but has some of the best care.
Didn't really catch the memo didn't ya.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

oh and let's not forget the cost of housing went up by 60% all on it's own. even without a minimum wage increase.

Optics are important.

Worldwide, we are all seeing Biden fail as a President.

We are all seeing the narrative from the mainstream media is biased and untrustworthy.

We are seeing a nation where the government is not trusted, whether it be the legislative, executive, or judicial.

...

And BTW @Silent_Gunner, I appreciate your comments in this thread. But at the end of the day, it's not the sheep's fault there are where they are... the blame lies on the herder. I have been told a few times, "If you're young and a Republican, you have not heart; if you're old and a Democrat, you have not brain." Consider this thread just a small reflection of today's society... and you will not be surprised to find a hate mob that despises free thought. #cancelcancelculture

Biden got voted because he was the only Democrat who had something going for him, despite being senile. Bernie could not win a primary, let alone a national election and he would sooner die of a heart attack than become president. The other dems are either too old or about to be voted out by disgruntled progressives such as Pelosi and Waters.

It looks like the days of the Democratic old guard are numbered.

Kamal Harris could never win a national election on her own and i highly doubt Biden will run for a second term considering his deteriorating health. If Biden can not form a proper sentence at 78 years, how will he look like in his 80's?

Putin knows that Biden is just some senile old fool, thats why he challenged him to a live-debate which he or rather his handlers outright refused because they know that Putin will run circles around him.

Biden will sooner or later have to face Putin and the other world leaders.

Flashback to Trump's first year in office... bringing peace to the middle east and Korea... something the mainstream media would have us believe was impossible.

Old Ben Hiden has not done anything except for make this country worse off. People actually believe this election was fair and free, and yet it has not been allowed to be investigated. I cannot wait until a court allows for discovery, which is going to shine a big bright light on the darkness that is the DemoNcratic party. I mean, you literately cannot argue that this election was not rigged, because there is not the evidence to support it yet... at this point, it is nothing more than an opinion.

President Hiden is the personification of the pussification of America. I mean, he even misses Trump... at least that is one thing he said that the majority of Americans can agree with.

Biden holds a press conference without mocking and ridiculing one journalist. Apart from not one single journalist asking a question about the situation RN, it was a pretty boring press conference. Like it should be, boring. Politics isn't something the average person should be involved. It should just work and you as a citizen should benefit of it. In elections you should've to decide between the person which is better, not which is the lesser of two evil (while Biden is still a thousand times better than the former guy).

Biden yet broke a promise, he promised 100mio vaccinations in the first 100 days, sadly it took him only about 56 days, shame on him!
Yes I know some will say "he inherited the plan!!1!11!" No, he didn't. The former dude just slipped away without leaving any intel on ongoing and planned operations, the new administration had to came up with a distribution plan from scratch.

You want to go off at the media? Sure, no problem with that. Most are biased. It's virtuall impossible to be not biased. The problem is: people want to share their opinion about things, they want to share that something good happened, when smth happened you can condemn. Now most people can perfectly differ between an opinion about some refugees seeking help, some people protesting for climate and politicians speaking out against racism and agree with protestors AND between "ThE pOlItIcIaNs ArE bOuGhT". You can clearly see lobbyism and corruption in like every other government, but right wingers tend to not be able to differ between "well, they actually stand in for these topics and want to change the future and living situation RN" and "they do it for fame".

Second to the media: the "mainstream media" is like the last which you can consider "moderate" in any way. Everything besides the big 5-8 news outlets does lean into a direction so strong, the actual value of true informations is lost.

Oh, you've a problem with politicians having stocks in some corporations or any other side income? Well, that's how it works. Most democrats pledge that while you're in office, you shouldn't be allowed to have any income besides your official salary. Guess what, not a single republican tuned in.

Overall the government can be trusted. Yes, it's dangerous to do it blindly and should be viewed with a critic eye. But hey, you surely would do better, wouldn't you?

Last thing: "cancelculture" no one, not a single living being wants to cancel something. BUT there's no reason to tolerate intolerance. Most people think that racism, ableism or overt sexism is ok to produce because "it's my opinion daw¯\_(ツ)_/¯" No, neither of these are opinions. IF something gets "cancelled" it's most likely due to the reason someone can't sell it because the society just won't accept or tolerate this kind anymore. Should old books be burned? No, never. Old movies not be sold or hosted? Nah man. But there's nothing wrong to put a reminder at the beginning.
Cancelculture my ass,
Throughout history certain "opinions" always got canceled, like women in jobs or having a vote, like poc, like the whole social security, depression/mental health.
If anything, society didn't cancel but opened up.

How many times I gotta repeat myself? Literally all but one of our presidents have been old white guys. Biden is in better shape than Trump, and Bernie is in better shape than Biden. All you have to do is take one look at each of them to know that. Besides, the candidates' health ultimately had nothing to do with the outcome of the election.

A) Yes, we should all be more involved in politics... less we have our rights taken away from us.

B) Biden has broken promises that he made on the campaign trail. As for the previous Administration not working with him... well, if he stole the election unlawfully, then that should be what happened. Time will tell...

C) Career politicians and family dynasties should not be a thing, but it is. T) his is why the "average" person should be more involved in politics, and not less.

D) The government should be trusted in a sense... in the sense that you know they are going to hide the truth from you. How many more government whistleblowers will it take to understand this?

E) If anything, society is pretending to be opening up, while in reality the walls are closing in.

I'm sure he will end up breaking some of his campaign promises, but he's got three and a half more years in office bud. Slow your roll. He's also fulfilled certain campaign promises already.

Time already told. The election's over. The results aren't suddenly going to change a few years from now. The only reason the Trump administration wouldn't work with him on the transition is because it was full of petty toddlers. Same reason Trump never hung his predecessor's portrait in the White House, as is typically tradition.

D) The government should be trusted in a sense... in the sense that you know they are going to hide the truth from you. How many more government whistleblowers will it take to understand this?
"Government doesn't work. Republicans would know, we're the ones who make sure of that."

E) If anything, society is pretending to be opening up, while in reality the walls are closing in.
Good, the walls should be closing in on bigots. Force them back underground where they lived before Trump gave them permission to be the worst version of themselves in public. The rest of us are tired of dealing with their idiocy and blind rage, not to mention all the mass shootings that result from it.

E) If anything, society is pretending to be opening up, while in reality the walls are closing in.

A) yes, you should be kinda political active, as in voting, protesting things which are wrong. Not trying to stop the government from what's right.

B) for all the accusations of "stole the election" nothing, not a single trustworthy source with any kind of actual credibility has anything which can really prove the "rigged election"

C) yeah, I'm with you. Being a politician shouldn't make you rich. Never. But that's nothing what you can just stop. Especially not with screaming or protesting. That's a thing which only ever can end with a hard break in politics and believe me, you absolutely don't want to have the gunslinging people to have the majority after the money is taken away from politicians. You only can abolish this mismanagement when moderate people are at power or else you risk a civil war.

D) the government doesn't gain anything by hiding. There's some things which have to be confidential, some things which no one should know about. But what's the gain from hiding "truth"? Nothing. Government doesn't like to "keep the sheeple uneducated". No. If so, it could be so much easier (looking at you, north korea). It's come this far that people can just disagree with scientifical facts and just get away with it. No, 2+2 doesn't make 5 just because some dude on the internet said so. Government doesn't benefit of doubtful citizens which get deceived by opportunistic third parties which want to "get the elites to scrumble!". What this whole "whistleblowing master plan" led to is pretty clear by now. Grief, trauma, misery. Just because people believed some dudes on the internet that the government is openly lying.

E) sociology wise, that's just not true. Society is so open and divers, people a hundred years ago would fall into a coma because of what's possible now. Close-minded (or bigot) people mostly just don't understand what they don't know or what doesn't affect them. To a heterosexual it may mean nothing but for homosexuals to be able to call each other officially husband/husband or wife/wife or any respectively means the world.
Yeah, homosexuals where considered equal but still different in many countries. Some don't allow them to adopt children.

Yeah, homosexuals where considered equal but still different in many countries. Some don't allow them to adopt children.

A) Actually, yes, we the people should be fully aware of our constitution, and what our forefathers demanded of us, including taking back our government from tyrants if it ever came to that.

B) There is not trustworthy evidence that the election was not stolen either. There are more red flags in regards to the opposite in fact. The fact that the powers that be are scared to even shed a little light on the subject speaks volumes.

C) The problem with the government is there is little-to-no oversight. While it would be awesome to break the chains, without a civil war it seems like an impossibility.

D) I mean, yes and no. The government hides things like the fact it spies on us in all aspects of our lives, and even when Snowden exposes this as a fact, they do nothing to change it. And education is successfully made progressively worse and worse with each passing standardized test. For instance, let's say the tests show Americans are doing bad at math... do they in turn focus on bringing them up to speed? No, they just teach them math that is not as hard, so everyone can pass.

And speaking of science... don't get me started. I am a very very scientific minded person. I like to look at all opinions and question everything. That is not what is happening today. Scientists are being silenced and murdered. I mean, the mere idea of "laws of science" goes against the nature of science. It's like they need to dumb down every aspect of our lives... because we are seen as a commodity. Let's not kid our selves, America is the land of consumerism.

E) I agree that America has made grand strides in change, from abolishing slavery, to given rights to so many individuals, etc, etc. The problem nowadays is that there is an attack on free and open speech. One side gets away with murder (or at least threats).

E) I agree that America has made grand strides in change, from abolishing slavery, to given rights to so many individuals, etc, etc. The problem nowadays is that there is an attack on free and open speech. One side gets away with murder (or at least threats).

A) well as I always understood the constitution and the thoughts of the grounding fathers, they intended that every new government actually came up with a new form of Constitution. Keep what's working, get rid of everything what's wrong. Because they knew that future generations will be brighter and in other circumstances. Like the whole point with guns. Yes people should be able to defend themselves, I can't agree more with that fact. But please, there's not a single reason to have weapons designed to kill hundreds of people in a blip to be carried by triggerfriendly people in the middle of the day in the streets. If scientifical evolution is allowed and accepted there, it should be equally accepted anywhere else.

B) Well to me, the OSCE is a pretty good source. As a European, I tend to agree with them more than some people with "bad feelings about the election".

C) It absolutely can work without civil war. Problem with corruption and lobbyism is, once you give it a let-go, it's nearl inevitable. Watch at sport. People throwing a ball some 30m earn more in that 2h than the average person earns in a lifetime. But people just gave them a pass, society didn't actually acted against those, neither did society against corruption and Lobbyism. It can be abolished, but certainly not as long as people are taking part. Vote!

D1) government doesn't really care or gain anything from spying on the average person either. It's more corporations wich want to earn money. The whole Snowden whistleblowing affected what, a 100k on the high side? That's nothing id never not expect from the US to do. I always thought "how could anyone be surprised by this?"
D2) I work in education and "making tests easier" wasn't a thing in the past 40years or so. Well, maybe some sport tests but they don't really matter. The curriculums do grow exponentially since years. Today, Students do have a weekly workload of what students in the 80s had in a semester. There are weeks where I literally do nothing apart from writing assignments and correcting papers. It's not that (your example) the us does bad at maths, they are at the same level. But in comparison they didn't adapt to even higher expectations. So as the knowledge I have to teach grows, the expectation that students will just accommodate to it grows (but even faster).
D3) well, last time scientists got murdered is long time ago. The reason why everything has to be "dumbed down" is that in the last 30 years (like education) science has made so astronomical huge steps that the average person just isn't able to understand. If you'd say to someone 20 years ago you'd be able to videocall someone with your wristwatch while you called your car to park itself, you'd be laughed at. Tbh, imho most people which "don't trust science" just don't understand it. And that's okay, not everyone has to have the knowledge of 20+years educated and working scientists. The fact that people are critical and try to disprove facts is a good thing. But the scepticism has to stop if you aren't able to disprove, that's when the dangerous "well they are hiding, they silenced etc" is really getting a problem today.

E) free speech isn't really attacked at all, companies just now start to take a stand in that racism, bigotry, etc aren't opinions. "You can't tolerate intolerance or you may end up with no tolerance at all" ~ the tolerance paradox by Karl Popper.
Let's say you'd insult your boss, shouted that the company your working for is garbage or you just lie about your work, is it a violation of free speech if you get fired? No, because the freedom of speech just protects you from governmental consequences. You can say "this government is shit" even protest this in front of the white White House, day by day. But you can't really think that insulting your workplace or boss is protected by freedom of speech. It isn't and certainly never was.

Flashback to Trump's first year in office... bringing peace to the middle east and Korea... something the mainstream media would have us believe was impossible.

Old Ben Hiden has not done anything except for make this country worse off. People actually believe this election was fair and free, and yet it has not been allowed to be investigated. I cannot wait until a court allows for discovery, which is going to shine a big bright light on the darkness that is the DemoNcratic party. I mean, you literately cannot argue that this election was not rigged, because there is not the evidence to support it yet... at this point, it is nothing more than an opinion.

President Hiden is the personification of the pussification of America. I mean, he even misses Trump... at least that is one thing he said that the majority of Americans can agree with.

Apparently, an audit is occurring in Arizona, and I read about a similar effort occurring in Wisconsin just this week. Not sure if the latter is an audit or recount.

Apparently Bigfoot was seen riding off into the sunset on the Loch Ness monster's back. Oh and there was a Kraken involved somehow.

Seriously, are you gonna keep moving the goalposts for Trump's imaginary inauguration back until we're in Biden's third year? It was funny the first several times, now it's just pathetic.

And why is what I assert on here worth that kind of response? Or have I finally transcended into a being that can live rent free in people's heads...kind of like Trump still does!?

Aww, did a cat get your tongue, @Xzi? Or are you out of talking points you learned from r/atheism?

Quite a lot of what you've been asserting on here lately has been on the loopy side, to say the least.

Republicans are free to spin their wheels with audits all they like if it makes them feel special. The documented numbers aren't gonna change. Goes to show just how little interest they have in actually doing their jobs, aka governing.

Heh, and you know they called the whole Pepe thing that on 4chan back in 2016, right?

And you can go say that an audit should take place and govern at the same time. And an audit might reveal things that a casual glance, or, IDK, something covered up by white pieces of cardboard over windows wouldn't. Or what, you don't think accounting practices that were put in place after the Enron scandal weren't necessary when an audit revealed how full of shit they were, and that the same principle should apply to who we elect as being the most powerful man in the US, if not the whole world?

And trust me, when it comes to the loopy I've seen, what I'm saying on here is normal in comparison.

Look, I know you like to argue because it seems like you have all the time in the world to do so, but I actually want to play games as opposed to arguing with someone who won't even listen to all that the opposing side has said.

Recounts were already conducted basically everywhere the race was close, old white dudes who spend most of their time golfing aren't gonna turn up anything new. Like I said though, they're free to spin their wheels, since the more time they waste on playing detective, the less time they have to focus on stripping away rights from their constituents.

And trust me, when it comes to the loopy I've seen, what I'm saying on here is normal in comparison.
Oh I'm sure, the shit on some of those alt-right sites pretty damn far down the rabbit hole. So like I'm sure your momma has told you before: don't believe everything you read on the internet.
