It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

There are TV commercials all the time for "Yes you may be on Medicaid, but you're only on Medacaid part A, what you really need to not die in agony is Medicaid part C. Why is everyone not just automatically on that plan? Shut the fuck up and go fill out several days worth of forms."

Part C is a privatised program in which the government hands over your Medicare money to UnitedHealthcare or whomever so that they can instead put you on basically just a dogshit marketplace plan. You then have to deal with all of the worst problems of insurance in exchange for... Uhhh... Maybe a couple added benefits like super limited dental coverage?

It fucking sucks and should be illegal.
