    Hey but we are all going to save like $8 each (assuming everyone pays equally) a year on taxes! And when you think of it, that’s a better trade because you can buy like one vegetable at Whole Foods and that will stop you from getting cancer in the first place!

      You know what is fucked up? It won’t stop with his death. While a lot of his shit does come from his absolute wanton ignorance and sheer evil heart, the evil and mentality that he has and has spread is not unique to him. All of his underlings are just as evil as he is. They do not give a fuck about anything other than their wealth and their own self-preservation.

        Yes, exactly like with most terrorist organizations even when you cut the head off, you will just create a power vacuum and whatever replaces it could very well be much worse than what was there before.

          And to tinfoilers like me, Trump dying is already part of the plan. But perhaps it’s happening sooner than expected.

            I fully agree but I can’t wait for the day when Donny dies. When that happens I’m going to get wasted out of my mind. Then the next day I will panic for the events to come as a result of his death.

    Every day I think I cannot see worse news. I try to avoid it a much as I can and have killed all my accounts on any sites except here. I’ve curated any news google sends me to everything but actual news. Then I scroll 3 times on lemmy and omg. This is insane. Do they think only dens get cancer? Complete lack of any thinking - never mind critical! Who is going to pocket all that saved money? My whiskey intake has increased exponentially.

      GOP, The Pro-Cancer Party.

      Who else but Krasnov? Marcelo might be senile, but he was right.

    Yeah thousands of people will be murdered by the administration due to their horrible decisions.

    EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN knows someone affected by cancer. Cancer causes keep increases as well as the types of cancers. By stopping the research into them for the majority of the population, what benefit does that give us?!?

    I would love to hear the thought process behind killing Americans to give billionaires more money.

      I am very likely to be one of those deaths when the Medicaid rules change on January 1st, 2027.

      Washington state minimum wage is pretty high and increases based on cost of living every year. The income cutoff for Medicaid is pretty low.

      I will have to be working at least 20 hours a week in 2027, and there’s a significant chance that in doing so I will end up making more than the Medicaid limit and be forced to pay for health insurance that won’t cover nearly as much of the $18k a month without insurance meds that I very likely may have to take for the rest of my life to stay alive.

      To not have to do this I would need to give up working and apply for disability. Even though I have cancer I would need legal disability status to avoid the work requirements since I don’t have children. Even though I am in my forties I am considered one of those “able bodied young men abusing Medicaid to stay home playing video games.”

      It’s fucking sickening and I am furious about it.

        I think that’s a fairly small part of it. There were two big things that happened:

        1. Scientists were able to show that the HPV vaccine prevents cervical cancer. This gets rid of the treatment/cure payment thing entirely.
        2. Air pollution turned out to be a lot more harmful than people realized, which means that there’s a much stronger reason to get rid of combustion as a routine thing that happens, and Trump’s bribe-payers would be out a really huge amount of money if that happened.

      That’s how Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Leopold II, and so many others achieved massive amounts of death.

      Executions don’t do that. The Heritage Foundation is interested in thinning the population, and executions are useful for fear and removing specifically interfering and troublesome people from the picture.

      Why are they so fascinated with eliminating so much of the population? I do not know. The only thing I can rationalize is that a smaller population is much easier to control and rule, and much less threatening.

      Genocide by attrition. Same way they kill off the indigenous. Same way they oppress minorities by making life extremely difficult such that successive generations dwindle.

      The indiscriminate is the “funny” part here - GOP voters are slowly waking up to the fact that there’s no way to “punish” only the libs, illegals and sexual deviants.

      Exactly … most laws state that manslaughter is when your actions without your knowledge cause the death of someone

      Murder is when you knowingly do something or take a series of actions knowing that it will definitely kill someone or a group of people
