Really disappointed in Robertson this year, damn. Thought he'd be a lot better.

we have to let people assemble to protest unfortunately. even if they are angry. we can anticipate that a protest may eventually get out of hand and have sufficient police present + advise families with three small children it's not good idea to be there. i am not totally surprised someone in...

well, shit, I probably would’ve told the man with small children who found himself in the middle of a pro Palestine march to try leave the area also, tbh.

Any cis woman who looks anything less than a picture of femininity probably should also be concerned about confrontation going forward unfortunately.

people really just making anything up to get mad over eh.

Yuck

Yeah I thought she’d do better with her own. Yikes

he’s promised that he’s firing all the generals. I’m just not sure there are any guardrails he hasn’t dismantled or promised to dismantle in Project 2025.

Yeah I’d agree. Trump and co ain’t doing any of that regardless though of course.

I’d imagine taxing some food that might be considered “junk food” might be pretty hard for poor people so I think it’d have to be thoughtfully done. I’ve lost a bunch of weight from counting calories before and it does get expensive to have a ton of fresh healthy food in my fridge all the time.

yeah noticed that, he already accused me of wanting to "live off the teat of the government".

the other thing is that a big risk factor for a lot of cancers is... obesity.

yeah i know quite a few. a few people have told me it's helped them cut down on drinking alcohol too.

it's amazing how clueless the people that say "i don't want my tax dollars to pay for x" are that parts of their own lifestyle are also being funded by tax dollars from people that don't benefit at all.

the reason to subsidize it is it likely would save taxpayers money in the long run, imo. also just better to have more people healthy and able to work.

i can't really fathom this kind of attitude really. my tax dollars go to all sorts of things that don't affect me directly but i can see the bigger picture. you can subsidize a pill now or tie up the healthcare system with all sorts of problems down the road. and yes, *of course* you should...

it seems like a fairly easy solution for it to be subsidized for people who actually really need it, no? i'm not talking about celebrities here.

you have to be at a certain bmi for most insurance companies to cover this, at least from people i know who've taken it.

because some of these patients are dangerously overweight and might never lose the weight on their own and we want to keep them alive.
