If people answer the questions on policies and quality of life they want, the left-side platforms match with more things than not. Like healthcare, work/life balance and compensation. Improving both of those tends to improve productivity and innovation, people are more free, untied from bad jobs for insurance that you can still go bankrupt on. We want freedom and it’s available with enough time and majority to do it. Can’t swing back and forth and expect progress, that’s just a wrecking ball that destroys progress and then have to start over again. Support real progressives that want these for everyone.

This is tragic and the result of indoctrination, not understanding reality and lies spread as truth. Use higher thinking skills and Sagan’s baloney kit to see the quack “health advice” and how it adds up to billions spent on junk, rather than spending on real healthcare, higher quality foods and less junk. But nah, just stay in denial, numb with junk food and the tribal safety. Some people reach the stage that differing ideas can be valid, but don’t proceed to reach higher levels, to analyze and weigh proven data, to see what’s healthy vs what was indoctrination. It’s ok, help is out there to leave the unhealthy beliefs and join others that don’t have the conditional belonging of unhealthy systems.

All the economic issues are caused by him this time, the tariffs and war and lies and bs. So much money wasted and much of it to cause human suffering, it’s sick. Biden didn’t cause economic issues, and maga 2 was never going to help. Sadly too many people blindly try the other side, and no critical thinking about it, believe the propaganda and want to fit in their tribe so they keep doing what hurts many of them stuck in the scarcity and stress. This is history repeating itself, but they all said they don’t need to learn history, and they know and feel best so don’t tell them anything!

The orange one said,

Let them hit San Diego,

And the magas cheered!

Yet the 34 count felon, rapist, traitor, document thief among other likely crimes, was not held in jail at all, just got his silly pic he sells now.

Another horrible crime, and makes me question how people become abusive and controlling criminals, and research points to the theory of “cycle of shitty people”, punching down on others, taking their turn, and this is normalized as macho, but it’s toxic. The abuse in homes, military, sports, frats, politics, it’s all related. Yes, not all turn out abusive and help to break the dysfunctional cycle is needed. Some people will read this and let their egos flare up and insist the healthy ways are “woke”. They’ll vote for the violent types again, and their female loved ones are worse off for all this toxic pollution. This is not an excuse, but hurt people need therapy, healthy community and healthcare to recover.

When someone becomes controlling or abusive, the clearest drivers are childhood maltreatment and witnessing violence between caregivers. Research using ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) scores shows a dose-response pattern: people with higher ACE counts face dramatically elevated odds of perpetrating violence later in life. These experiences normalize coercion, damage emotional regulation, and create insecure attachment. The pathway is learned behavior and cumulative trauma.

Wow you went all out and they look amazing!

I removed one related to relatives and gave the reason as life event or loss, so now it will probably offer grief related books or some weird trick to buy more stuff lol! I should cancel it really.

Take the normalized cruelty and punching down that most are brainwashed into, and give the apes ideas, sickness called freedom.

Yes, the plan would have that compensation included somehow, to the workers who earn it or to the universal healthcare plan. This and a revenue system to fund it like successful places, benefits most people in cost and health. No more bankruptcies, like people still have with insurance. If the owners skip out on paying this worker compensation in the changeover, people are still more free to leave bad jobs with “good insurance” and do something else, start their own business, care for loved ones, more education, etc. It’s win win for the vast majority of us when we look at the full picture! :)

No, others demanded that insurance remain in the system and not allow price negotiations, making it cost more than everyone in one pool. Expanded Medicaid has improved lives and better health outcomes where it was adopted if anyone cares to look. Less medical bankruptcy and able to use healthcare to live better, as it should be for everyone.

Some states have healthcare for all incomes which shows proven results. Paid leave shows benefits to human health and business too, yet people still oppose them and vote against good for all. Healthcare pool with everyone spreads the risk and cost the most, remove middle profit waste, set reasonable prices, use the policies that already work great. Enough excuses why this or that didn’t work, and use what does work for high quality of life! We can have nice things too!

This might help look at some reasons that poll majority doesn’t result in votes for it, and how to get this, which would be great, and with protections so maga doesn’t ruin it if it ever starts and people see it’s better than now. We can see how it improved lives where Medicaid expanded.

How does the psychological strain of artificial scarcity, like the threat of medical bankruptcy or social displacement, create a cognitive trap that drives people to vote against their own material needs and embrace exclusionary, fear-based politics instead of universal safety nets that could relieve their suffering?

Some of the pros around here are not very good and take longer than I do, but the Aldi ones are usually fast with those giant barcodes! The last one, however, charged me for two melons but I didn’t have any, removed one, but not the 2nd so I had to go back over. My data points and the workmanship around here show sometimes quicker than me, but not if a line for them and none for diy.

That sucks, I DIY if the store has baggers since they don’t do it well 8/10 times and I check the prices as I scan to see if the discounts applied. I’m pretty fast, and now if they remove them, I could do the job really well and bagger, I gained skills from the experience for possible future use.

“Refusing election observers is usually something that countries in a position of weakness do, when they know that they have corrupt or unfair elections,” said Dan Baer, a former U.S. ambassador to the OSCE during the Obama administration. “It’s very strange for the United States, which has been historically a standard setter in free and fair elections, to refuse observers.”

There is enough for all, the scarcity is fake and controlled by the wealthy, to maintain their place at the top, in this punching down system they invented. Read a summary of Democracy In Chains to learn more and all the propaganda they used to fool the public for decades with coordinated lies and distraction to keep their wealth and prejudice safe.

If this wins and not struck down or delayed for ages, it’s supposed to bring income over five years with delayed payments so they can sell stuff lol.

Mr. Money Mustache’s latest post is about this and I hope is right. Basically he thinks it will not destroy retirement, viewing market panic as a recurring historical pattern driven by fear rather than fundamental economic ruin. Instead of reacting to macroeconomic anxiety, he emphasizes that true wealth stems from human productivity and resilience, suggesting individuals ignore the news cycle and focus on personal financial habits. Also recaps the basics so a great reatd. We can do it one step at a time to increase freedom!

Q: What policies for work, health and environment help the most people and promotes a high quality of life index and freedom to try new work or care for loved ones, and why don’t they result in everyone quitting work? Is there enough wealth in the world to avoid artificial scarcity?

I can help with official U.S. government services, benefits, and how-to information. I do not provide political commentary or economic analysis of policy choices.

Lol fail

Wake up, be alert to the truth available here and now if you choose! Look up questions like this to learn more! “How did the Powell Memo, the Gingrich/Luntz linguistic strategies and modern algorithms systematically construct a framework to restrict majoritarian democracy, as exposed in Democracy in Chains? Why haven’t Dems done the same strategy based on misleading and lies, and how can society transcend these systems to build healthy, human-centric public policies that foster liberty and justice for all?”

Culture war is due to the oppression against people, human rights, by high-control groups, indoctrinated prejudice and punching down. Dems stepped up to support human rights, as compassionate people do. There is a clear division between healthy systems that defend human rights, and unhealthy ones that punch down and other ways those at the top of the hierarchy benefit from and protect. To vote against the rights of supposed loved ones is wrong. Some claim socially liberal but don’t support it in action, just hollow words.

This was purposely twisted to make Dems the instigators of a “culture war”, when it was support for rights to life, liberty and justice for all, supposed founding values. The propaganda that Dems don’t care about workers and men is more lies. It’s actually courageous to support your queer loved ones, rather than joke along with the slurs against them. Something about integrity and what you do when no one is looking. Supporting human rights is basic decency and does not take away from majority. It’s not zero sum as the controlling types want to believe and preach.

The propaganda that too many people still fall for, so, yes, maga should stop using it and focus on human first policies to reduce costs and increase wages and benefits. Dems support liberty and justice for all and don’t put trans rights above other issues as the brainwashing says. No politician is perfect on these issues, but some support helpful policies for us more than others. If they ever get enough time and large enough majority to pass big things it would be nice, but can’t blame them for the swings that easily destroy progress that took time to build. Maybe the dnc powers try to limit their majority so they can’t to do what we want? I hope not, but candidates not bought by big money and promote healthy ways should serve us better, if enough ever win at once to do much, hmm.
