Still not single-payer, still a half-assed solution. The rest of the world figured out healthcare ages ago, long before ACA was written up. There’s no excuse for this insurance industry enabling nonsense.

Yeah when I say fix healthcare I mean universal healthcare. ACA was a bunch of half-assed bullshit.

I wouldn’t say that fixing healthcare is a prerequisite for fixing transportation. Shitty people on transit aren’t as big of an issue as people on reddit (and now lemmy I guess) make it out to be, and frankly I’d prefer those people were on buses or trains instead of behind the wheel of a two ton death machine. Besides, there are plenty of shitty drivers who aren’t mentally unwell, so it’s not as though solving healthcare is going to do much to fix the issues with transit.

But yeah I agree, dismantling capitalism and the fascists supporting it is necessary to fix either problem. The oil industry is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, anyway, so there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be getting rid of them.

How about advocating for better access to mental healthcare instead? Banning people who shouldn’t be driving cars from public transit is just going to make it harder for them to get around without actually solving any problems.

Nah I’m just highlighting the contradiction in them saying “we need mass surveillance because of crime” and in their very next breath “if you don’t feel safe you should just move instead of expecting society to change for you.”

If you want to live a more peaceful and calm life, that’s totally okay. But it is probably better that YOU looked into a new place to live (a house by the beach or the woods perhaps?) rather than expecting society to adapt to your needs.

So if you’ve been robbed three times, why don’t you look into a new place to live instead of expecting society to adapt to your needs?

Seconded. The whole cake day thing is one of the most reddit things ever, and I mean that as a slur.

Draw something unexpected on it for extra fun. Like dickbutt.

Transphobes are very much not welcome, and this loser is one.

Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains.
