  • I don’t even know if we have to bankrupt them anymore. I think a Biden executive order just stopped or severely limited credit reporting on medical debt, and I don’t think trump or musk has fucked that one back up.

    But what they did do is fuck up the CFPB, so these debt collectors are going to get away with more fraud fueled bullshit. But I wonder if you can simply report any medical debt that does show up to be inaccurate based on the Biden EO.

    There still are laws in place, the dumb dickheads just fired some of the enforcers. Now, debt collectors are going to have to try to garner your wages, and if you’re smart enough, you’ll go into court with evidence that you have been following the process of law, and they haven’t since the enforcers are gone, and it’ll just further roadblock the debt collecting scumbags.

    That is of course, in a just world. In the real world, very few will know about their rights and recourse, and all it takes is one shitty judge with prejudice to ruin lives, as usual.


  • So let’s get this right.

    They currently have care, including preventative care. If we remove them from Medicaid, they will no longer be able to afford care, even preventative care.

    The only doctor’s office that can’t turn them down based on their ability to pay is the emergency room, the most expensive form of healthcare in America.

    So instead of preventing large medical bills and keeping emergency rooms manageable, we’re going to instead shift the burden onto hospitals, fill emergency rooms, who as usual, shift this burden onto the paying customers (also us, btw), at the most expensive rate possible.

    Yep, sounds like a republican plan to me.



  • That honestly doesn’t sound like a bad mission, but it seems like there’s a couple other requirements they should impose on their mission and then there wouldn’t be any controversy.

    They should require that their package works as well as the upstream, and, in the even that it doesn’t, they need to be very blatant and open that this is a downstream package, and support for it will only be provided by Fedora Flatpaks, and that you may have better results with the official packages.

    The primary issues in this case is that it doesn’t work, and it’s not been clear to users who to ask for help.



  • The people you’re arguing with and you always seem to want the same progressive candidate, but it ain’t reflecting in the vote counts. I’m not even gonna argue from my viewpoint anymore, cause it doesn’t matter when we want the same thing. What can we do together to make sure that changes? Especially in local and state elections, that seems to be where we can make the most impact.

    You’re going out and voting for every primary for progressive candidates, right? Cause we both gotta do it, cause there’s just that many Nazis out there. And we need our friends and families to do so too, and I imagine you are just the same as I am and talking with them.

    So if everyone is doing their best in their small world, what’s the next step, or what are we missing in your opinion? And I’m asking this with sincerity, whether you believe it or not.

    And since it’s a while to the next voting time, do you see any worthwhile plan of resistance? There’s a couple of general strike/don’t work days planned coming up, but pessimism seems strong there. How are you feeling about them or other options?
