Don't forget long hair, baggy pants, etc. So many threats.. so so many.
Anybody Brooklynites remember Eric Adams' bullshit taxpayer-funded "stop the sag" campaign from about 10 years ago?
I never would've voted for such a fucking douchenozzle.
That's crazy. How kids dress or look is the least important thing in the world to me. You have your whole life to be uptight, let it loose now. My son had a crazy ass 'fro in high school. He could man bun it. My brother in law (wife's BIL actually) is a Navy colonel and professor at the academy. He would ask me about it and complain, but I'd say STFU. Who cares. He'll grow out of it when he needs to. And now he's in college with a girl friend who likes short hair, so he has short hair. Amazing what a little action does to a man. But that's just how it works.
I recall how my sister (and not often, my parents) telling me to stop wearing skin tight jeans and all black metallica/testament/megadeth shirts in summer and cut my hair and all that shit, and how worthless it made me feel.
so I don't dare say anything to my kids about stuff like that.
They were right about your Jordache jeans.
haha, also had a brief run with this style (everyone did here)

I don't know man. He actually might be Marine, but I do think it's Naval. He teaches history there and has written some books on Jackson. We end up arguing about Jackson because he is a fanboy of his military career and I'm critical of his presidency. He's considered a Jackson expert.

Yeah I know. He had to go to Gitmo for two years a few years ago to fulfill the end of his reserve requirements. I think he is technically retired now, as he's about 55 now. I tend not to talk about rank and those sorts of things. I'm not particularly enamored with the military just because they are military.

FTR, he was a hard core Republican. His dog was named Reagan when we met him. I used to always call it Regan (for Don Regan) just to annoy him. But he was and is vehemently anti-Trump. He even voted for Hillary. I'm sure it was painful, but he is definitely in the "never-Trump" camp of the GOP. So as much as we used to argue politics, we were good there.

Well that's right. His policies on slavery and Indian Removal were 'harsh' to say the least. He actually got a chance to sit and interview Robert Remini who is considered the preeminent Jacksonian expert. I read a ton of his stuff in college, but I was always critical of Remini's apologist mindset towards Jackson. Claude and I have argued that a time or two.

You are 100% correct. They are afraid of anything that isn't white, "christian", and predominantly male and wealthy. It is this fear, hate, and ignorance that drives them. Not to mention the fear of white people being replaced. Which is going to happen eventually.

For the bullshit excuse that it didn’t accommodate folks without health insurance but they’re not interested in expanding Obamacare or offering solutions to fill that gap, like a health plan better, greater, and less expensive than Obamacare. They are bereft of ideas and solutions to any challenge facing this country.

Remember these are the same people, including their voting base, that wants to reduce taxes for the wealthiest Americans and raise taxes for the lower and middle class taxpayers.

Unfortunately they only believe in capitalism when it suits their political need. I'd be interested to hear why some voted against the bill. I'm not sure all that's in it.
But when it comes to the MAGAsphere, the cruelty truly is the point.
I don't hang that on all the GOP, but certainly a percentage.

or maybe it's this:
Other GOP members on the panel pointed to a Congressional Budget Office analysis
released Wednesday that appeared to back up insurers’ arguments. The
CBO predicts the measure would cost the federal government more than $6
billion over a decade because it would likely force insurers to raise
premiums. That would increase government subsidies paid through the
Affordable Care Act and decrease income tax revenue because workers
wouldspend more of their wages on their employers’ health plans.
The price of medicine is a concern but isn't what is said above concern as well? We shouldn't just be passing bills that help one group but then harm another. These things needs to be well thought out and there are concerns that this isn't.
Hinson says she doesn’t like the other costs that go with the bill.
“It’s a serious issue we should be tackling here in Congress in a
bipartisan way. It was disheartening for me to see Democrats and Speaker
Pelosi move forward with this legislation — because it will raise
premiums for over 200 million Americans,” Hinson says.
Republican Congressman Randy Feenstra voted against the bill, while
Republican Marianette Miller-Meeks and Democrat Cindy Axne voted for it.
Hinson says the bill gives too much control to the government.
“It also sets a dangerous precedent here that the governor should be
able to control in the private sector the price of medications that
Americans need,” she says. Hinson says the favors another bill that
includes several bipartisan provisions. “It caps seniors out of pocket
for insulin at 50 dollars per month, and it also allows our
high-deductible health insurance plans to cover insulin before the
deductible kicks in. So, the Lower Cost More Cures Act is a policy of
again, 40 bipartisan provisions,” Hinson says. “And that’s the direction
we should be moving, not passing on that premium increase to more than
200 million Americans.”

They'll likely blame it on how much it will add to the deficit. They care about things like this when Democrats are in power but totally look the other way when they have control and are looking at giving the wealthiest Americans tax breaks, as evidenced by the record spending of the Trump administration
I was going to say. I love when R's claim to give a shit about taxpayer money. complete bollocks. they just care who it goes to: their friends and family, donors, and themselves.

I'm not a friend, family, donor or a politician but I respect when politicians are concerned about how their actions could effect my income. I don't want those that have to pay for insulin to be taken advantage of but I also don't want to have to pay for their insulin or have higher premiums.

Why is the Democrat plan better than the Republican plan? Having a Democrat majority is not a viable answer.
but, like I said, R's only care when it suits their needs, and I find many R voters are the same (as you just stated above-you want people who need insulin to have to pay out the nose for it-but you don't want to help-I do). Sure, D's spend, but often it's of benefit of the people, not (as often) the rich.

There are other options than forcing everyone to pay for insulin. I don't have extra money to give anyone. I pay sky high premiums for my insurance and I only have 1 option available to me. I can't afford my premiums to go up because many in America overindulge and then have to take insulin.
Although not everyone with type 2 diabetes is overweight, obesity and an inactive lifestyle
are two of the most common causes of type 2 diabetes. These things are
responsible for about 90% to 95% of diabetes cases in the United States.
you don't usually need insulin for type 2. you need it for type 1, which is not caused by obesity. it's autoimmune. and without out it, people die. and with it, some people go bankrupt.
thank god I live in canada where my daughter's autoimmune therapy, which costs $5,000 every six weeks, is covered. I don't have to worry about people not wanting to help out.

For thread integrity, I wonder what/who is preventing us from obtaining a similar kind of healthcare system down here...

Private insurance companies and their shareholders would be my best guess

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
They are afraid of anything that isn't white, "christian", and predominantly male and wealthy.
It is this fear, hate, and ignorance that drives them.
Not to mention the fear of white people being replaced. Which is going to happen eventually.
cruelty.

Remember these are the same people, including their voting base, that wants to reduce taxes for the wealthiest Americans and raise taxes for the lower and middle class taxpayers.

I don't hang that on all the GOP, but certainly a percentage.
“It also sets a dangerous precedent here that the governor should be able to control in the private sector the price of medications that Americans need,” she says. Hinson says the favors another bill that includes several bipartisan provisions. “It caps seniors out of pocket for insulin at 50 dollars per month, and it also allows our high-deductible health insurance plans to cover insulin before the deductible kicks in. So, the Lower Cost More Cures Act is a policy of again, 40 bipartisan provisions,” Hinson says. “And that’s the direction we should be moving, not passing on that premium increase to more than 200 million Americans.”
