  1. These are the systemic problems that people turn a blind eye to and insist don’t exist

  2.  @allyk7476  memories run short and racism and misogyny runs high. People seem to also forget that Bush raided the Social Sec trust of billions of dollars to pay for his war of retribution for his father and … never paid that money back. Likewise that trump raided to social sec trust to pay for a rusting wall that I guess … Mexico was supposed to pay? Maybe his first order of business is getting Mexico to pay that money back. 😂

  4. @A H not sure why you’re shouting. There was nothing in the video that said the kids lived with them if that’s what you are trying to shout at me about. Maybe try listening to the video again, and turn down the volume in your head.

  5. Most people have no understanding of even the basics of economics micro or macro or how the world works or why there is global trade.

  6.  @skapunkoialternativeliving6522 one does have to utilize some common sense. The only place that I listed that may require you to buy something is a store. But I’m not in the habit of sitting inside the store. There’s usually some seating outside of stores. The shopping center usually has public spaces outside of shops but still indoors. Libraries are great places. But hey, if someone purposely doesn’t want to find the resources or find excuses in using those resources that’s on them.

  7. Illegals don’t get Medicare funding.

  8. Good grief … “illegals” don’t get federal benefits. They do not qualify for entitlements. Stop the lies.

  9. Frankly I would hope that you’re an ally and fight against racism.

  10. What Project 2025 says about Medicare Medicare is the federal government health insurance program for people age 65 and older and younger people living with certain illnesses or disabilities. More than 67 million Americans are currently enrolled. As for Medicare, Project 2025 proposes making Medicare Advantage, the bundled alternative to Original Medicare, the default enrollment plan for Medicare beneficiaries. Medicare Advantage is offered by private insurers with federal government contracts to individuals who qualify for Medicare. It functions similarly to health insurance plans offered by private employers, in which policyholders have a set network of providers they can visit. About half of Medicare recipients are currently enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans. While Medicare Advantage adoption rates have risen, Original Medicare remains a more flexible choice for many recipients. Unlike Original Medicare, which can be used to visit the roughly 90% of doctors in the U.S. who accept Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans have provider networks. Medicare Advantage plans can also require prior authorization for certain coverage, meaning that the plan can approve or deny certain services. Original Medicare plans don’t have any prior authorization requirements. Medicare Advantage plans are built on contracts between the federal government and private insurance companies, in which the federal government gives money to the insurance company to “manage” patient care. Because insurance companies charge the federal government for patient care, Medicare Advantage winds up costing the government and taxpayers more than Original Medicare.

  12. Free medical or very low cost medical to those of very low income status. It’s also done on a sliding scale based on state guidelines in relation to how the affordable care plan is set up. Ever state has some form of it, some states are significantly better than others. So it depends on where you live.

  13. The country should be ashamed that they voted for a grifter and con again.

  14. I’m sure the post office is back on the chopping block as is the department of education and likely national health.

  15. As the writer above noted … spend a little time googling Project 2025 and then make your decision. It shouldn’t be particularly difficult to make a decision after spending some time with key passages. It’s primarily written by those who were on trumps team during his presidency and are likely to be put into key positions again if he should win.

  18.  @juliecastagnaro2868 the shit show has started. Good luck. It’s one thing for trump supporters only to screw themselves but unfortunately they’ll take down everyone else with them. He’s already turned back the Medicare pharmaceutical caps that Biden put in.

  19. Actually the first amendment does… personally I think it’s more concerning that women don’t have control over their own uterus in some states. He voiced an opinion, everyone else is able to offer an opinion back … many on here have deemed him worthless. So whose the better person there?

  20.  @hokey-os3rx republicans have had a problem with it for a very long time but it really seemed to have take off during the Regan administration. That’s the crowd of pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.

  21. You seem hugely uneducated about what the Biden administration did for seniors over these four years while also cleaning up the mess left behind by the prior admin. But if think this grifter has your best interest in mind, keep on dreaming. Ignorance is bliss.

  22.  @Tipperary757 the solution to that is busting unions, no paid overtime, and getting rid of minimum wage. I believe a couple of those items were promoted in the campaign prior to election.

  24. Hmmmm. I hope to be somewhat delicate here. First, I agree regarding knowing what one’s skill level is for the work they are applying for. I’m quicker than my younger peers but there are older people who have more knowledge and perfectly capable of completing tasks in a timely manner. You can’t go by age. You also can’t go by appearance. I look at least 20 to 25 years younger than my actual age, but I feel every bit of the late 50s that I am, but I’m not looking to do an Amazon job where I have to be on my feet all day because I know I can’t do it. Regarding racism. Sure you may be sick of hearing about it, but would you have to hear about it or live it? supremacists are banking on you being sick of hearing about it so you turn a deaf ear to it and it then can continue to persist. Also please note because blacks (and I also mean browns throughout this conversation) don’t have systemic power they are NOT the racists. They can be prejudiced and they can exercise discriminatory behaviors, but they are not the racists. If blacks managed and held the power and the wealth of the country and whites were then maligned by inequitable practices then blacks would be practicing racism as they would then have power. Which I suspect, is the reason for whites to keep power away from people of color, certainly wouldn’t want to risk them holding power and treating the majority culture the way they have been treated. I would agree with you, all of us are likely to practice or have some discriminatory behaviors. There’s more than a “few” people who are racist. And you must understand that you in your experience wouldn’t know it because you don’t live it. You don’t have to walk around with the color of your skin shouting what you are. You aren’t a black man trying to catch a cab… the cab driver is racist when he passes him up to go pick up a white women and the cabbie would be sexist if he passed up that white woman for a white man (because women do not hold the power in this country). Black people are shot pulled over by police while white men can brandish a gun in front of police and they don’t get shot. White men can conduct crimes and not get arrested and certainly not get incarcerated to the same percentage of the population. My white friend and her black boyfriend were at a spa in Santa Fe NM… the lounging room for the showers was coed …. Two white women approached the boyfriend when my friend stepped away and told him he shouldn’t be in there. There was another white man in there. 🤷 what’s up with that? If it were my boyfriend I would have also told him not to be in there because those white women can allege sexual assault and he would probably be found guilty. But my white friend doesn’t have to think that way because that’s not her life experience. The bird watcher in NY, the woman screams to the police she was being assaulted by a black man, that could have gotten him killed. On the west coast in San Francisco a black guy was writing Black Lives Matter in chalk on his front walk. A white women and her husband said that that was not his property and he should not be writing on someone else’s property, they further said they knew the person in that house and they were going to call the police. It was his house. I don’t feel I can freely travel across this so called great country… the least irritable thing that would happen is someone calling me the N word, or if they are quick enough to figure out my Asian heritage a ch!nk or a j@p; the worse they can do is maybe string me up to the back of a pick up and drag me along the pavement until I die (I’m looking at you texas). A couple of weeks ago I’m at a stoplight in Arizona waiting for a green light, a couple of good ole boys in their truck pull up and say “N go back to Africa”. So tell me, would you rather hear about it or live it. I think I’ll leave your “another block woman suing” comment alone. Racism exists and it’s in is full glory and was revitalized by trump and made to be ok. And those who continue to support him are supporting to continue the behavior. I’m not saying you have to go democrat … but for common sense and the betterment of this country find some other repub. Again I’m going to ask everyone who says they are tired of hearing about it. Would you rather have to hear about it everyday or live it every day? And you wouldn’t have to hear about it, if an equitable playing field was established. If it was established as recently as 1960, within the lifetime of many people who are watching YouTube videos … you wouldn’t have to hear about it now. It continues to be a problem and will be for future generations if people contour to turn away from it. This country is not making any progress, really burning books? Women don’t have rights over their own body? People don’t have clean water to drink? People don’t have health care? Unfortunately for 9/11… the country might have come together, but unfortunately it came together against Muslims and Arabic looking peoples. The country didn’t come together for COVID and thanks to trump China flu rants crimes against the API (Asian Pacific Islander has increased).

  25. Well given that all the Build Back Better infrastructure bill that Biden had gotten signed in his term should be taking effect in the next year or two which would add more infrastructure jobs and economic improvement to the economy. That is as long as trump doesn’t tank the economy by putting tariffs on everything and shipping back everyone who is working the low levels jobs in agriculture and meat production.

  26. When trump was in office the amount was $600. He has managed to create the greatest deficit which we’ll be paying for for decades because of his tax cuts for the top 1%.

  27. Or just go ahead and explain it. If you are a rewards customer the hold is $ if you are not the hold is $$. “Can I offer you a rewards customer card right now?” It would have helped just to explain that there are different tiers of a hold particularly when a situation like this comes up. Or print out the policy. I’m sure there’s a ten page policy on stuff that none of ever read.

  28.  @sunshine3914 better to get on a list list sooner than later. Waiting doesn’t help anyone. Nor does not making an effort to save from the very beginning.

  29. You’re still going to pay a lot. What American do you know who is willing to work pennies on the dollar so you all can get your cheap stuff at Walmart and dollar tree. Once they get rid of all those criminal brown people working in agriculture and meat processing I guess those positions can get filled by all these poor and struggling van lifers… oh wait. Nothing stops them now for applying for those jobs.

  30.  @JuliaB1955 the heritage society was relevant enough for the orange party to put in 3 conservative Supreme Court justices who made laws negatively impacting your Medicare in 2025. It’s interesting that all you people whining about immigrants didn’t have enough forethought to have a better financial plan other than winging it with social security. The orange party is the party of trickle down economics and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. It seems that people still aren’t capable of figuring it out yet. Now there’s a 1000 page hard document, that you can read, about the party of trickle down economics and pulling yourself by your bootstraps and you don’t want to believe it. You can’t fix willful ignorance.

  31. So then you tag all federal workers as such, that justifies aimlessly and randomly firing hundreds of thousands of people? That’s just plain hatred, jealousy and ignorance. I have a number of friends who work at a couple different VA facilities, I have two facilities near where I live. I know no one who doesn’t put in more than their 40 hour week to try and meet the need. When you work in services that meet the needs of people, most people put in way more time than they are compensated for because they aren’t motivated by the money and we are usually short staffed for all the needs that must be met. People who believe that mess by the current administration are drinking up the schit they are being fed by the elite. Im a mid level manager working with abused children and adults… not only would I make more if went outside of govt I probably would not often have to work 60 hour weeks but only get paid for 40. It’s the nature of the job, when there’s an emergency you deal with it, you don’t close shop and go home. Do I occasionally take a 90 minute lunch … you bet I do because on most days I choke down my lunch at my desk in 10 minutes, when I’m in the field seeing people, I might not eat lunch at all. Are there slackers? There’s slackers everywhere in all segments of employment, private or govt. Their managers need to deal with that, not a couple of guys that are hugely removed from that working segment. People need to clue in that no matter how many 400 year olds you think are getting SS checks or the ‘millions and millions’ of govt workers who are slackers…. Whatever you feel they are stealing out of your personal pocket taking a 2 hour lunch comes to pennies from what the top <1% are stealing from you.

  32. Republicans have always wanted to privatize social security nothing new here for at least 40 years.

  33.  @iamv482  not sure what you are talking about. I said people need to be careful how they vote. Democratic policies are kinder people who are in this guys position, republican policies are usually going to go against people. Republicans feel this guys situation as with the continuing generational poverty of people of color is because they need to “pull yourself up by your bootstraps mentality.” No need to be nasty with me. I invite you to re read what i wrote and actually try and understand it. I vote for policies that are more about people. But if you want to vote for a man who doesn’t want to have a minimum wage law the cycle will continue and Hanks situation will continue to escalate in the future for all races of people.

  34.  @iamv482  you clearly don’t have the capacity to understand what I wrote nor does it seem that you are interested. No one knows this man, Carol doesn’t even know this man well and before anyone starts throwing their hard earned money at him. They should better understand his situation. By the way if you took the time to read what I wrote, it’s white racism and supremacy that has lead to ills of this country. It perpetuates because people continue to vote against their own better interest.

  35.  @iamv482  I’m telling this man and everyone else who votes, they need to think about who they vote for. There is only one political party that has demonstrated that they care about community issues. It doesn’t matter what race you are, but if you continue to vote Republican situations of senior including Hank will surely have these kinds of problems.

  37. It’s not so much the council members it’s actually the community members. The council members are voted in by their constituents. It’s the people of Oceanside who have an issue with it. A lot of communities have a not in my backyard mentality. Orange County is probably even worse.

  38. Why do people keep voting for republicans. All of what you mentioned is be a use people voted Republican.

  39. Well for a lot of them it’s going to depend on where they live. I feel really bad for parents who are stuck in certain states with children who can’t get gender affirming care or those who are too poor to leave the state to get what they need.

  40. It’s not likely that the group that conceded are the types to raid the capital. Nor is the language from those leaders calling for any violence. And in the odd case that there is, I’m sure the current leadership had put in some stop gaps and would be quick and efficient in dealing with it since the country had to live through it just four short years ago.

  42.  @anybodyoutthere3208 Gas prices had already gone down. Biden opened up more land drilling leases than anyone. The reason why fuel was so high was as a result of the pact trump had made with the saudis to stop importing because gas companies were loosing their profits with people driving less as a result of Covid. He was already aware of Covid in the summer and fall before it hit us. Please do your own research before commending information that isn’t particularly thorough. Inflation rose because money was handed out to people during the hardship of Covid, which didn’t need to be that hard or deadly. PPP loans to businesses that weren’t paid back, stimi checks for people, funding to people whose jobs had closed as a result of Covid. The US managed to recover from Covid better than any country on the planet, interest rates have been coming down and the feds dropped interest rates another quarter of a point the other day which further is a statement of an improved economy.

  43.  @kathleenkhadra4519 probably. Certainly Medicaid is on the chopping block. I suspect with snap they are going to want the “lazy” people to go to work. I’m sure Steven Miller has a definition of those people outlined in Project 2025. It’s a good read and not difficult to understand. I read it about a year and a half ago so I don’t really remember a lot of the specifics regarding things like snap.

  44.  @sylviahill9973 those in a red state voted that in, no blue state wants someone to come and have that same ideology in the blue state. My blue state while strongly blue is still fragile, that could be lost at any time. Particularly if those who voted that stuff realize they don’t like it after all and all start migrating to what .. 6 blue states?! 😂
