Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

“Healthcare in other countries is cheap because we [the US] subsidize it for them” - ok but why is this the only thing you’re willing to give handouts for, and it’s not even for your own country? Lmao (hexbear.net)

FOOD AND GAS PRICES ARE OFF THE ROOF. WELCOME TO BIDEN AMERICA

I THINK INSURANCE IS MANAGED BY SATAN AND MY MEDICAL BILLS WILL BANKRUPT ME SOON

but I don’t want to change anything about this. I think it’s the most superior system and nothing else should be even remotely reformed.

Clown ass country rightfully complains about how everything is expensive and miserable and exploitative but demands that nothing gets changed otherwise companies will retaliate by rising prices artificially anyway

It’s a common chud line, they claim that because of Americas ridiculous and absurd military budget everyone else is “made safe” and can spend the money that would otherwise go to “defense” on social spending.

Another common refrain is trading costs would be higher without the naval spending because “we prevent piracy” lmao. We can’t even stop attacks on specific ships in a small area, I’ve heard less of that second line since the blockade started at least.
