    Nobody is ashamed of people making money. But born-rich, Hyde Park NIMBY Ann Kitchen proteges who openly hold disdain for the homeless and the poor and have no shame about flaunting their privilege are an embarrassing, predictable, and boring stereotype.

    Assumes I was born rich. I paid for my college and lived on food stamps which is why I am so pro-gov support. I wouldn’t be where I am without gov assistance.

    LOL. I have no idea who you are, so I went through a few pages of your posting history.

    - Your parents are rich and own a bunch of real estate

    - You are shooting to have $20 million for retirement

    - You have negative feelings towards the homeless

    - You defend your candidate for defending corporations against asbestos victims

    - You live in Hyde Park

    - 50% of your posts are stock market day trading and in the IPO thread.

     

    You are far, far more Republican than me. Sit your silver spoon ass down and stop talking to me.

    Omg, I can have money and be liberal!! Why does money = Republican? 

    Re: asbestos was a gross misrepresentation of what occurred 

    yes, I have one of my homes in Hyde park. But live in multiple cities :D

    Someone has some views that aren't far left: "You are a literal Republican"

    Candidate that literally was a registered Republican: "My socialist savior!"

    GTFO. You've got nothing.

    Omg, Lizzy admits she changed party when she became political!

    you have a posting history of pushing for any D candidate to R policies and complaining that they don’t have more centrist policies.  

    I am sorry you have minorities moving into your round rock suburb neighborhood.

    If that were the case, poor people wouldn't die on a daily basis because of insufficient health care. The "charities will pick up the slack" is an absolute pipe dream. And I say this as someone who has quite a lot of little l libertarian stances.

     

    Anyone with common sense knows you mean that you are a closeted Republican that pulls the D lever because you can’t stomach kids in cages.  In this environment it is sadly admirable, but let’s not pretend you wouldnt trade lower taxes for degrading someone’s rights.

    So, I’ll ask you a favor. Educate me a bit.  Are the not a pot to piss in type poors not already given Medicaid/Medicare?    The fact that loads of late 20’s types who spent 150k on college and need that midtown apt and a 3 series are skipping (rather expensive) health care  isn’t a concern to me.  If they want to take that risk, then I say go for it.   

    The truly poor should be taken care of to an extent, but opting out because it’s too expensive to maintain with your lifestyle is bullshit. 

    I still don’t see why it needs to be government mandated.  As stated up thread (by you I think) why can’t those who want the cheapest of the cheap go with Uncle Sam and those of us who are doing fine stay course?   Oh yeah, because the best doctors and facilities are going to stay with the private for profits     Y’all can have Dr Nick and the govt ward.  

    I have a white trash cousin who’s baby daddy makes well over 100k (think chemical plant hand) but being not married they paid jack shit for when having their kids.  That’s the shit we need to shut down.  

    She wrote a whole book on this issue 

     

     

  6. LONDON (Reuters) - A decades-old U.S. government policy reinstated by President Donald Trump in 2017 that restricts international aid to NGOs that support abortion is linked to a 40% rise in abortions in some parts of sub-Saharan African, a study showed on Thursday. 

    The “Mexico City Policy”, also known as the “global gag rule”, also led to more pregnancies and lower contraceptive use among women in African countries reliant on U.S. foreign aid, the study in the Lancet Global Health journal showed. 

    The policy prevents U.S. federal funding from being used overseas to support any organization that performs or provides counseling on abortion. Successive U.S. administrations have flip-flopped between rescinding and reinstating it along partisan lines since it was created by the Republican administration of Ronald Reagan in 1984. 

    “Our findings suggest how a U.S. policy that aims to restrict federal funding for abortion services can lead, unintentionally, to more – and probably riskier – abortions in poor countries,” said Nina Brooks, a researcher at Stanford University who co-led the work.

    Looks like another manufactured distraction in the making.

    The idea that we’ve underestimated China is borderline laughable.  We’ve always known they were the emerging super power after the fall of the Soviet Union. 

    This is a major policy shift. The DC elite always assumed that engagement would lead to reform.
