Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Every job you've had has been better than the job I had. You do know they don't have any legal obligation to do that, right? It's almost if you didn't have the job I had.
No, it means my wife has a decent job.
You don't fucking know me or my life. You have no idea how much work I've put into my health. I'm going to the Mayo Clinic in March due to illness. Do you know how hard it is to get into the Mayo Clinic? Do you know how much work and effort that takes?
No, you fucking don't. Because you've had a cushy job and a cushy life.
Holy fuck dude. You are fucking mental.
I've been broke and struggling my entire life. My parents fucked me over, my father gave all of our money (what little we had) to the church of scientology. I've worked retail, restaurants, run my own pc repair service, helped a few people build websites, delivered furniture, did outside sales and more than I want to go into here. My last "real" job was as a utility locate tech making $12.50/hr. Now I work for myself (again), yesterday I made $250+, today I'm at $90 8 hours in. Does that sound cushy to you?
You have to stand up for yourself because no one else will. When I worked foodlion I literally wrote on the time off calendar that I wouldn't be in the state and if they scheduled me that's on them. And yes, they legally have to allow you to take off for health stuff. There is also fmla which they can't deny.
Seriously dude. Stop being a fucking victim and whining about how bad you have it. We all have our issues and personally I've been able to survive being out of work for over a year without being evicted or losing weight. I've had 2 sets of seizures that fucked my back up, the last one I also busted a shoulder. I've been hit by a car biking to work and more and I'm still around and not bitching about how much my life sucks (except venting to my wife when I need to). As I said up chain, you make shit happen when it needs to happen. Or you can sit back and bitch and whine like a toddler.
You might consider spending less time on here and more time figuring shit out. It's clear by how active you are on here that you are tantamount to a shut in. You can't actually be working a job that let's you spend all your time on here but doesn't allow you to take time off for medical stuff.
I'm done here and I'm going to block your whiny victim ass because I have to actually work and keep building my business so I can maybe, sometime in the future, not be worried about my day to day finances. Oh and I'm dealing with a headache just shy of a migraine that is probably related to the dilantin I was recently prescribed. So basically, you can fuck off with your (my life sucks worse than yours) bullshit.
Lecturing me, then insulting me, not one single question about my situation. Just assumptions about my life and what I was able to do and not what I knew I would get fired for.
I mean for fuck's sake.
Also, I just love that you see our broken healthcare system and think people who are unable to get the care they need are just whiny and need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
