Is Fox news unironically the best place to learn about your new favorite social dem?
What’s funny is the MAGAts that live there will HAPPILY take those things… But then still badmouth the shit out of the man who made it possible.
penis mention
And MAGAts are losing their mind on xitter
He’s the new Boogeyman, because he has a Muslim name. Much like with obama. And memhet oz whitewashed his name and skin
I have no idea how anyone can think that baby baskets for newborns is a bad thing.
I actually have no idea what that even means… Could you help me out with some context?
I’m from Scotland and here, every time a pregnant person is registered with the NHS (we have universal free healthcare, which is normal in Europe, so this is pretty much every pregnant person), they’re automatically enrolled for a baby box to be mailed to their home a couple of weeks before the baby’s due date.
The baby box includes a ton of stuff designed to help parents take care of a baby in their first few years, including the box itself doubling as a cot. Loads more details here, it’s been super well received since they introduced it 10 years ago ish: https://www.scotland.org/live-in-scotland/progressive-scotland/baby-box
CA also does this. they give you a lot of baby supplies as you leave the hospital with the baby the first time, it’s super helpful.
Good to know, everywhere should do it!
I’m guessing even in California you have to pay for it though?
In Scotland, doctors offices and hospitals don’t even have cash registers cos money is not something the citizens ever have to think about when it comes to healthcare, I feel sorry for anyone who has to exist in the US where money and healthcare are tied together
In Finland, parents of newborns receive a cardboard box that doubles as a tiny sleeping space. It’s filled with essentials like diapers, a sleeping bag, small mattress, toiletries, etc.
It’s like your new player gets basic gear at Level 1, minus the bronze sword and 10gp.
10 GP probably isn’t a bad idea
That’s the buying price in the market section of town.
Love the video game analogy lmfao It paints a funny picture
The right: Birth rates are declining!
The right when they see no cost child care brought up: Socialism bad!

I believe that this is part of the Christian dogmatic pipeline. If you require social services, check your closest church. And of course you will need to be a member in good standing to keep access… Etc
My former religion used to do this a lot. to the point people I didn’t know who heard I was one of them, would ask about these kinds of services. The church doesn’t do any of it anymore. they stopped all their charity efforts of this kind as it doesn’t line up with American Republican values, and those are clearly more important than shit Jesus said. reading any manuals, teaching plans, and so forth that the church puts out makes this abundantly clear. Used to be Mormon. Finally gave up with the anti-lbgtq bullshit and the church hording tithes. literally against the dogma and doctrines of the church. 100%. They still teach in Sunday school for kids that tithes stay local and help people in need Mormon or not. it’s a full on lie at this point. Other than child abuse lawsuits I’m not sure the church spends money on anything.
It’s also convenient that churches tend to be de facto segregated by race. We’re not racist, we just setup institutions that happen to work in racist ways.
“That should be the role of the church!” The church proceeds to not do what they said it should.
Hey man, after my local church finished paying off their pastors mortgage they used the last of the money to host a bake sale!
You people are ungrateful commies
Don’t forget about the expensive TVs!

And usually praying at any evangelical church
It’s ok. They’ve trained their monkeys to hate objectively good things.
Remember when Fox News called workers “dogs” that need to be starved to make us obedient? Never forget, never forgive
Monkeys surpass magats in intellect
I love how “socialism” is a smear in a country that has “e pluribus unum” on its money. Unum, only up to a point, I guess.
That’s not American English though. They didn’t know what it says.
unum -> military ✅
unum -> bailouts ✅
unum -> healthcare for you ❌
That’s it. That’s the campaign ad.
$30 minimum wage and two parent households might be able to raise their child themselves
Ok, so these are the promises. Now actually… you know…
Take all the funding from police. Hire an army of nannies for day cares instead. You will save lives, produce more for society and have extra to give everyone $30 minimum wage
Gotta get elected first, ya know? Kinda hard without that first step.
“Mayoral primary victory”, looks like that might happen.
Anyone taking bets yet on how long it will be before he gets “disappeared”?
Or gets stringed along by the state at the behest of the billionaires, much like they did with Luigi, and gave trump so much leeway in his trials
He won’t. But an insane amount of money is going to be poured on a smearing campaign and support of an independent candidate, because to ultra-wealthy dems donors, better a Republican than a socialist.
Isn’t that most of history? Liberals, “centrists”, et al would rather side with fascists than give an inch to labor.
There will be a billionaire-funded recall campaign
Or constant 24/7 news propaganda against him
I am pretty sure whoever really Luigied Brian Thompson will Luigi any conspirators.
But in all seriousness, he needs a major security detail at all times, and he needs to be pragmatic about public appearances.
Everyone knows hemesley and witty conspired against him. In reality UHC was actually be investigated for insider trading, and he would be a weak point that can bring them all down.
I bet it won’t happen, or at least not until 2030. A perpetual “this person won’t vanish” is really difficult to say with confidence.
Hey Foxies, how would you like to have an easier life?
But how are you gonna pay for it!!!;)!!! Raising taxes? (Insert smug face thinking the speaker just played their Trump card)
/S
“No way. It’s only fair if everyone has as miserable of a life as I have!”
USD$30 is a pretty good minimum wage. That’s almost twice as much as I made at my first full-time job.
what year, and how much exactly per hr. I would love to point out how inflation works to you. the average worker in the 50s at an entry level, no high school diploma required job, was making A LOT MORE than you’d guess after factoring in inflation.
Was it in New York and was it recently?
canada, last decade
You know the USD and CAD are not the same thing, right?
It may or may not compare, I guess. Hard to tell.
Edit: with inflation and location in mind
