>>936725603
He did, certainly, but medicaid has been stagnant because of obamacare. It was an unnecessary element of Healthcare. Everyone complained about medicaid and shit not ever changing and that obamacare was much better and here we are, obamacare created the opportunity to get rid of a dinosaur health policy. Change is scary, I know, but it'll be fine

it's a right wing thing to cut down spending on stupid stuff, every right wing president everywhere has been doing it lately, check Bukele and Milei for example, they cut down spending on stupid stuff, Trump is just doing as he should and more important than that, he's doing as he promised he would, which is a good thing no matter what, cause he's setting a precedent for the next presidents after him

Literally what I voted for, he's cutting out deadbeats from medicaid. Literally not my problem it's going to fuck over rural people and blacks the most.

Thanks for the mentioning the lamy accent. that is a model you dont normally see in the online shops so it flew under the radar for me. It has an interesting design where you can swap out the grips and it has that sleek modern design AND it has screw cap so it has potential to be pen for life. But lmao at that price tag. They cannot be serious with that. It costs more than lamy 2000!
I have this romantic idea of buying a pen and drawing with it for the rest of my life. I think i will buy a few of my current candidates and see for myself which feels the best in the hand + on the paper.
>Kaweco Special Brass
has that octagonal shape like pencils so it wont roll on table, which really annoys me with my current noname pens. exotic material and kaweco really makes WRITING things, the nib and feed is screw in so you dont damage it during cleaning or replacing
>Monterverde Ritma
Basic cylinder pen, but with magnetic cap and is very thick so hopefully it will be comfortable to hold. Again takes standards nibs and international cartridge's like kaweco so you know its made for writing and easy service or spare parts
>Lamy Aion
And lastly i am looking at that cigar shape, because in practice you cannot know for sure if your ideal grip is 12 or 11 or 11.7mm, so in theory with tapered shape your hand will find its own ideal diameter. But lamy uses its own nibs and its own cartridge's, so i asked if there isnt similar pen from diff brand. Like for example Cross ATX Matte Chrome also has that shape, but its grip is polished chrome so grip will be ass. And on top of it it has section bump yet the cap is not threaded so it will get loose over time. And it is thin. I already have thin pencils and ballpoint pens and old chinese pens (parker 51 knockoffs) after my ancestors at home. Fuck thin pens.
Maybe this is foolish idea and the meta is to buy faber castel grip or the platinum preppy or twisbi eco and when it falls apart like all cheap plastic does buy the new one.

It must be the "other guys". Seems to be a common problem.

>>936729491
>How about everyone gets rid of "their guy" so there's no "other guy" to complain about?
What other guy is there in an elected office that was in charge(chariman and ceo) of a company defrauding the united states?
>Also what about the bureaucracy?
So by increasing the bureaucracy(having people send in proof of work/volunteering and checking it) it somehow makes the bureaucracy more checked?

>>936729626
chairman* not chariman

>>936729626
It's pretty simple. Next election everyone votes their guys out, so there's no one left to blame, then you clean out the bureaucracy by also doing the same. Firing everyone and starting over.
But boohoo, it'll be rough cuz hiccups n shit! Can't do that! Gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelette.

I don't think it's hard to see how people get played on their biases. Look at Mamdani, no one cared until it looked like he was going to win the primary, then all of a sudden it's "he hates jews", and once he had it wrapped up, all of a sudden for the right-wing sphere it's "He's a radial muslim, don't you remember 9/11?" ,"this is because of immigrants!", "he's an actual communist" and "he literally eats with his hands like a savage". Democrats doing the first part in the primaries and do the same type of shit elsewhere too. It seems like they(both political parties) put the some of the shittiest candidates forward and then say "well yeah, they suck, but this person isn't a communist(or a nazi) unlike the other guy, and totally cares about you!"

Medicaid/SNAP


Nationwide Work Requirements

- all able-bodied adults aged 19-64 on Medicaid will be required to work or participate in approved activities for at least 80 hours per month to maintain coverage.
- Exemptions exist for people with disabilities, students, caregivers, pregnant women, and parents of children under 14.
- These requirements go into effect on January 1, 2027.
- States must routinely update and share enrollee addresses and Social Security numbers with a new national database to prevent duplicate enrollment.
- Quarterly checks against the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File will be required to promptly remove deceased enrollees.
- Federal Medicaid funds will not cover abortion, except in cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening complications.
- The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will create a single, nationwide system to detect and prevent dual enrollment in multiple states.
- Pregnant women remain exempt from work requirements.
-

There is no provision in this bill that defunds rural hospitals.
Some are concerned that tightening Medicaid will result in reduced revenue for rural hospitals, but this bill focuses specifically on things like
- ensuring that deceased people are scrubbed from Medicaid,
- re-evaluating recipients eligibility yearly.
- preventing Medicaid from being used to pay for child transition surgery.
- prevents federal dollars from being spent on abortion
- gives the states more control over how Medicaid is run in their states, taking that power from the federal government.

>>936730019

the 'cure' for that is something called 'reality' for which we all live. your fantasy nonsense isn't reality & isn't happening or going to happen.

>>936725474
You are an ignorant asshole - if you cut $680 billion from Medicaid - its not fine, it will not be fine. It was a vindictive, underhanded and malicious way to undercut the Medicaid expansion that was negotiated under the ACA so as to provide coverage to now nearly 28 million Americans. Now, at least half that number are going to lose it - Congress is counting on folks being pushed off by work requirement snafus, unable to do the administrative and paperwork hurdles specifically for a tax cut for the upper most brackets. People are going to die as a direct result of rural hospitals and nursing homes disappearing.

>>936725398 (OP)
Medicaid is primarily used by democrat voters and he didn't cut anything he just made it so the leeches have to contribute.

Yeah, tell that to 80 year old Alzheimer's patients in a nursing home. Who exactly is going to determine "healthy people who can work" after these cuts go into effect?

A majority of people of course want freeloaders on the system, but they fail to understand how much they can be fucking themselves over if something happens to them. The whole shit of "if you want insurance, just get a job" is bullshit because unlike congressional members, a lot of people don't have access to workplace healthcare, or it can be very pricey.

>>936746832
and the money is going to billionare freeloaders instead.

MAGA morons lose again.

>>936745257
If you really believe this shit, you are a willfully ignorant MAGA moron. Explain to me how you actually cut Medicaid spending by $650 billion over 10 years by trimming "abortion and child transition surgery". Explain how giving states $85 billion less every year in Federal Medicaid dollars is giving them more control over how Medicaid is run in their states? How about we get these requirements for gun ownership - you know these single nationwide databases to detect and prevent folks who shouldnt own guns? See, you guys are such blind cult members, ignorant about how government works - everything can be slashed and burned - and dozens of kids at summer camp drowning in your state is never connected to cuts to NOAA and FEMA and thousands of lay-offs at these agencies.

I think it was highly intelligent move. Think about it. The MAGA cult already treats him as an infallible messiah. There is no rational well-thought argument you can bring to a discussion to convince them otherwise. Their devotion is undying. If a couple of them have to die so that Trump and his billionaire friends have more money then so be it. They'll just call it the will of god when their friends and families start to die.

Dumfuck, do you know how many folk work for corporations like McDonald's or Walmart and still cannot afford health insurance because their employers do not offer it - even with Obamacare marketplace?

Did that sentence make sense in your head - cuz it doesnt out here. Another victim of the American pubic edukashun system, eh?

For starters, these behaviors are mostly isolated and no way representative of the species behavior at large. All it shows is that some individuals will engage in them. This does not describe the generality that each and every members of the species will engage into. So this is to be kept in mind.

Then I'd like to remind that as of now, intelligence isn't even properly defined, and that all systematic attempts at having it be described in a system that is capable to account for all its nuances following a scientific method have failed to be 100% so far. Animal intelligence and hence the intellectual superiority of some of them is also hard to define. For the sake of the argument I'm going to use Leary's interpretation of intelligence under the 8 circuit system. I feel this is relevant because it describes symbolic-tool-using intelligence not as the finality of intelligence, but as one of its component. A cherry on the cake that likes to imagine itself as the whole cake. Much the same way that being capable to articulate ideas under symbols, plan things on, make maps, languages and use them effectively is an intellectual feat that does not guarantee that an individual will shine in the other aspects of intelligence, such as emotional-territorial or moral intelligence. This way, while a person can be a genius of mathematics and referred to as 'superior', he might be a complete dumbass in other areas of life. I think in the case of these species, the same pattern can be relevant. Belonging to a species generally considered more intelligent does not guarantee that members of this species will not engage in destructive, deviant, or plain unintelligent behaviors. If anything it just highlights that these behaviors are to be dissociated from the development of intelligence overall, because these acts serve no intelligent purposes.

Boomer trump voters are going to be studied by historians and anthropologists for their baffling antagonism toward their own interests.

>>936746805
The argument that freeloaders are even the reason we are having any issue is VERY unproven, and doesn't correlate.
The areas of our deficit that we are cutting account for 2-5% of our total expenditures, and of that, less than 1% is fraud, or abuse; in areas like Medicaid, SNAP, and SSA, even Trump's own teams LOOKING for fraud and abuse, had the same assessments, less than 1%.

So we COULD BE talking about cutting less than 1% of 5% of hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars, and that would be something we were entertaining to somehow solve our budgetary issues which, frankly, were caused by supply side policies during the 80s, and poor financial legislation during the early 70s.
That's IF we were talking about fraud and abuse, waste is highly subjective, so really anything can be waste if you consider it to be wasteful, even if it benefits millions, and would consequently not be considered a waste by those people; or even if it is mathematically efficient, or even demonstrably lead to secondary effects which cause it to actually gain more money than it loses, you could still argue it is subjectively wasteful based on the subject matter morals, like the argument with SNAP and SSA, and Medicaid.

I digress, the argument doesn't hold up, we aren't cutting wasteful spending if the spending is more than quadrupling after the bill, we seem to just be cutting social safety nets that demonstrably lead to healthier, more effective workforces, and higher levels of innovation.

This is, unironically, how some people do think.
I talked with some older fella on the street during a rally. He really believed immigrant veterans shouldn't be given expedited citizenship hearings, even after combat service. He believed the VA was too costly, and should be shut down, and I clarified he really did mean "Shut down," as in, not remade, but just 'no more veteran healthcare.'
I couldn't possibly understand how this person was accepted by the MAGA around him. They had no issues with his opinions, they didn't argue at all. Saw a skinhead, he was just blending into the crowd, he wasn't completely separate, it wasn't like a bunch of skinheads and racists, but seeing the one dude just comingling with a dude in a redhat with a rebel flag, I couldn't do that.
