I think we’re all fucked, because the monsters who run all of this value money over other’s lives, and it helps with military retention. I’m sure there are people who wanted to get out of the service, but were worried about healthcare costs.
The private sector doesn’t care, as long as the lines keep going up. And the government doesn’t want to lose one of their sticks to keep people on their bases and ships.
So they’ll buy mansions, and yachts, and travel the world. While I have to sit at home, just waiting for the day to be able to afford a vacation. And I’ll sit and watch as our tax money is used by private businesses for stadiums, or mine-resistant vehicles for suburban cops, or to turn brown children into skeletons.
All the while, you’re sitting there with constant pain and all the world cares about is the amount of testosterone in athletes at the Olympics. That’s what’s driving conversations these days. More circuses to distract us from the real problems.
It’s genuinely fucked up. One of my coworkers is 19 and already has medical debt. Fucking 19! She’s still in school ffs.
There’s so many people in worse positions than me, and it’s so wrong in so many ways. Like… gofundme campaigns for folks with cancer shouldn’t need to be a thing.
No one should have to forgo medical care due to expense, or lose their home because they got hurt in way that can’t be ignored.
And it’s even worse because you’re right about the stupid bullshit controversies that keep us distracted from being mad about the real, everyday issues you pointed out. Its… really demoralizing sometimes.
