If you can't get elected without promising welfare checks and taxpayer funded sugar water than the country is fucked beyond repair.
They can win elections. Trump did. The Republicans just have to stop fucking with poor people. Which they can't seem to do with this medicaid work requirement. Looks like the Democrats will be back in power.
If you're too good for McDonald's, you're too good for Welfare too. It puts some skin in the game and makes the Bennie recipient pay a little back into the system. Fuck off.
Ok Boomer.
 
It's called creative destruction in economics. The speech therapy was only expensive because of government manipulation of healthcare and enriched themselves on Medicaid always paying a high $ amount. Perhaps a new cheaper speech therapist can come in to take it's place.
This is what I thought too. It makes no sense for someone to shut down their practice because they're not getting enough Medicaid payouts, unless they were scamming the government. They can always take regular insurance and keep their practice going. It sounds like they were one of many, many fraudsters.
Does / did Dave have TDS? Like others have said, its the effects from drugs, alcohol, and the rock and roll lifestyle.

Dave was known has a hard drinker for a while. He got fired from Metallica for being too much of a drunk in their early stage. And Metallica had the nickname Alocholica back in the day. IIRC, Dave was known to be a mean drunk while Lars and James were more funny drunks. Those two drunk types don't match. Idk if Cliff drank.
I always thought he was conservative, but lots of conservatives have TDS so who knows. I so envied his hair back in the day, though. These old rockers are still stuck in their fem/androgynous hair band styles and it doesn't work once you hit a certain age cohort.

Kind of unrelated but there's a YouTube ad featuring Paul Rudd playing video games (also what is UP with all these celebrities shilling games lately? I understand the gambling ones but I'm supposed to believe Christina Aguilera is always playing some Farmville looking game all the time?) Anyway, I wasn't sure it was Paul because of his bob haircut. He now looks like your aunt Karen. I'm hoping it's for a role not a personal preference.
I heard that Trumps bill passed and the Republicans managed to sneak in a work requirement for medicaid which is basically a soft cut to medicaid. A nice way to cut medicaid without actually cutting medicaid. It takes people 6 momths to a year to find even low paying shitty jobs these days. If you manage to find a job you might make too much and won't qualify for mediciaid anyway.

The Republicans are heading towards a loss in the midterms as this rate. Fucking with people's bennies and wanting to ban porn nationally. This is why the Republicans lose. They can't stop fucking with poor people. They can't help it they have to shit on poor people. This also why the Democrats will never completely disappear as a party.

Republicans are over stretching just like the Dems did with all their BS.

The Dems should take the news about Medicaid and use it as much as they can. I am sure they will. There was always a good chance the Republicans would lose the house and or senate anyway given how normies usually vote. A Republican in the White House usually means the Democrats will gain control of the house and or senate. The same goes for Republicans. But this just raises that chance even higher. I imagine it will get worse when it goes into effect and starts impacting people. The emergency rooms will fill back up with uninsured people. It won't be pretty.

No, Medicaid is not for old people. They already have Medicare.
Old people get Medicaid if they outlive their money, no matter how much money they initially had. They have to declare that they're indigent and turn over any remaining assets to the government before they get it.

The idea of the work requirement is to combat fraud. It's also making them put skin in the game. This is what I voted for, because while I'm fine helping out people who legit can't work I am NOT okay with able bodied people stealing from me when they can go out and get a job. Dems have had decades to fix the fraud problem and all they do is squeal and whine that the Republicans are going to demolish Medicaid, so they have zero leg to stand on here.

ETA:
The Republicans just have to stop fucking with poor people.
This is an entitlement, poverty mindset. I, a citizen with a job who is a contributing member of society is supposed to give up some of my money from my hard work to people who are scamming the system. And why would those people ever want to go to work when they have no incentive to do so because I'm forced to give them my money? Again, I don't mind if people legit can't work. But it's disingenuous to say that every person getting Medicaid is getting it legitimately.

idk if Riley Reid is the most famous porn star of all time. But she has done a lot of work.
incoming deviants and Islamic contents:

Modern era, I would say yes, or at very least, one of the most known of the 21st century.

Assuming the qualifications are as followed:

1: Hardcore/penetrative sex was the vast majority of their content (I wouldn't count OF "Nude models" like Sophie Rain as pornstars. it's the exact same thing as like, a Page 5 girl in the UK, or Gravure models in Japan. it's modeling, if in the nude.)
2: AVN Hall of Fame/Award Winner (pretty much industry standard of Porn. Could be bought off, but otherwise used as the sign that "You Made It" in Porn.)
3: Real World knowledge. (Memes, News, etc. Stormy Daniels fits this bill.)

If you had to say most popular ACTIVELY? Most likely some OF girls who actually do hardcore scenes and posts them on PH, getting millions of views, then Riley Reid would be in the top 5. She was for sure the most popular actor for a while in the late 2010's and 2020's, alongside Danger, Rhoades, etc.

ALL TIME? I would say whoever was in Deep Throat (First major porno to be released to theaters, she for sure had a higher peak than any modern porn star ever had), Ron Jeremy had a multi year career acting in Hollywood and porn, Jenna Jameson was a huge actress as well, same with Sasha Grey. Reid would most likely be in the 8th-10th most popular all time.

Ok Boomer.
Allow me to posit a hypothetical to the both of you.

Millennial aged individual works various jobs through the 2000s-2020, ranging from entry-level retail, all the way to working for a very large household name multinational software company. While this person is fully self supportive, saving money was difficult, given they were born with a common but life-altering autoimmune disorder.

Still, they worked diligently, up until the past several years after circumstances forced them to quit their job at said company to return home (like a good member of their generation) at the age of 40 to help take care of family. In doing so, this person inherits a substantial amount of money, allowing them a few decades of not working - even indulging in their interest in the arts - and live comfortably, and taking care of their parents. During this time, further autoimmune disorders appear, adding further difficulty in securing further employment.

This person is on Medicaid, the only welfare they receive. No SSI, no social security - which they did pay into - will most likely be forthcoming. Hell, this person is even a staunch Trump supporter.

Should they not feel just a little screwed by this decision?

I will give an example. Joe Badluck works at McDonald's. He has a job but no health insurance. His contribution to society is small but still something. He pays taxes, all that shit. And he's basically just stuck. Good worker, but he just cant climb up for whatever reason. Why shouldn't he have access to Healthcare but some NEET does, who doesn't contribute in any way? Fuck off.

Aren't you the same guy that admitted to being above 30 and still living with your parents shamelessly? Also why mention bans about porn, were you personally affected by it? Atleast John Badman got angry at Trump because he lost 400 bucks, you got angry at Trump because you are now "forced" to get a job and because your porn was banned.

Edit to prevent doublepost:
Regarding the matters about employment, my opinion will be based on averages and not the exceptions. There might be a guy with a disease getting fucked over but for every 1 good soul there are thousands more that abuse it. Society dictacted by extreme cases and exceptions cannot run in the long run.

That person likely can apply for disability. Even then, we all have to work my man. Pick up a part time if you want to spend time with your parents and still qualify. Not asking to work in a mine bro.

Spiritual Boomers just don't get it. They are too out of touch like their actual Boomer parents. This is your typical Boomer conservative mindset. It's also one of the reasons why they couldn't win an election till Trump came along. Trump never said he wanted to get rid of Obama care he said he wanted to fix it. There are Republican shitbags that want to actually get rid of it. The medicaid expansion especially. Republicans hate poor people. They think everyone in the US makes 100,000 a year and has a good job. They are very wrong.

I never said anything about myself. It doesn't matter if a ban on porn would impact me. It most likely wouldn't. I'm not a Boomer and I know how to use a computer. But it would definitely piss off a lot of young normie males.

you're not stupid this is something people are deliberately miseducated on

the irish potato famine is called an gorta mor, the great hunger, in Ireland because it was not a famine, it was an attempted genocide

you are correct that ireland had excellent productive land. this land was not in irish hands, it was owned by english what we would now call agribusiness. the irish had been being excluded from ownership for the good agricultural land for centuries and were subsisting on shitty land. if the potato hadn't been introduced they probably would have died out completely/been assimilated. but the potato allowed them not just to live on shitty land but for the population to boom.

this large rural population was entirely dependent on the potato. The potato began to fail in the 1840s. The blight was not contained to Ireland, it was widespread throughout Europe and a major contributer to political unrest. But elsewhere, peasants had other food sources.

the english landowners let the irish die. commodities were shipped out of ireland for sale rather than distributed to people literally starving in the roads.

you were deliberately miseducated on this because this history makes totally clear that the racial narrative of the evils of European colonialization is complete lies. There is nothing racial about one people doing this to another.
Have Brits ever done anything good literally in the history of ever?

If you honestly respect the political opinions of people who vote based on the policies about porn, then I would suggest you just rethink your life because I am honestly speechless by how retarded that is.

You don't deserve to vote if you vote based on Nutting economics. Should get drafted into the Army for some discipline at that point, they're the only ones that can save you

I mean, Paul Rudd has been in Vidya ads since forever.


That ad you're talking about is a call back to the above.
 
Ain't no ghetto on the moon.

Only whitey.
As an aside, I love posting that song and referring to it as a goof, but I've been listening to jazz more and more over the last decade. Recently I was on a long drive and thought after mocking him so much, I could give him a shot, maybe he's actually a good underground artist. I mean, that song does unironically slap...

I couldn't get through more than a few songs on the album. He is so viruently anti-White and just 100% All Black Power, All The Time. I mean, he had talent, but his stuff was just clearly and definitively Not Made For Me. I can watch Kung fu movies and Blaxploitation flicks that are so bad I ironically like them. Others are legit well done and even though the culture they depict is alien to me and they aren't made for me, I can unironically like them, like the Poitier/Cosby Uptown Saturday Night trilogy or Willie Dynamite.

But Gil Scott Heron...that dude just seethingly hates wypipo.
