Democrats are continuing authoritarian restrictions wherever they can, anyway. Ending the emergency was mostly about cutting emergency funding, but they want the restrictions on freedom to continue as much as possible.
Everyone should entitled to their I guess god given right and freedom to infect people with diseases without any regulations whatsoever, Vote GOP for FREEDOM!
So you think small children should remain forced to mask forever, got it. You are a Stalinist anyway, so that's not surprising. Also, the recent Cochrane study showed that masks are useless - but don't let science get into the way of your authoritarian fantasies.
Ending the emergency halts lots of Income for states. It prevents billions in funding for hospitals and also restricts how hospitals can set up their icu when it comes to covid patient. It also halts funding for free vaccines and other remedies. Right wingers always forget that Biden never issued a single lock down order. Schools opened up during biden time not vice versa. We're all over covid except the fringe right wingers. No offense or not to sound condescending but I own a medical equipment that generates more income in a month than what you make in a year. I've been doing medical sales for over 15 years and have a better understanding of the economy in my sleep than you ever will. I work in the real world and see real injustices unlike you right wingers . Thanks for the good laugh. Right wingers pretending to be smart about economics is hilarious. And if you can't tell I hate lefties aka bernie bros. They're poison for the party and want to do nothing but implode the party. I'm not a hack like you.
I'm a anti monopolist whos agaisnt corporate america. I own a medical device company that sells CPAPs/Bipaps in rural America in Ohio and Indiana. I've seen first handed how corporate America screws over rural America and daily Americans. PPBM (Pharmacy benefit manager) have forced Americans into paying ridiculous prices for medicines while limits the quantities of pharmacy. If you ever go to rural America most small towns don't even have a independent pharmacies within miles. It's easy to talk about woke corporations and whatever other bullshit culture wars. It's another to Crack down on corporate America and rebalance corporate America. Biden FTC has declared war on corporate America. They're cracking down on Healthcare mergers nd consolidation. Mergers are down close to EIGHTY PERCENT in America this year alone ! Bidens ftc has sued amazon, is attempting to break up Google, about to sue Apple for their app store, and has already sued meta. His FTC is the most vigorous ftc that we've had since FDR. They have more pending litigation right now agaisnt corporations than AT ANY TIME IN FTC HISTORY! Trump had better trade views than both Clinton/Bush/obama. I actually think trump had some really good ideas but the issue is that he wasn't a politican and had no idea how to implement them. Biden has taken trumps ideas and actually implemented them. There's not a single trade deal that biden nixed from trump. The people who complain that biden is too old have no idea how transformative his policies truly are.
Certainly not disagreeing with you on PBMs. Pretty crazy system. Coming from another country to the US and seeing some of the stuff regarding how the healthcare system(s) work here...quite interesting.
PBM war is just one way that the ftc is fighting corporate America. The FTC launched a war on right to repair. Go talk to a farmer and they'll tell you how it's effin impossible to repair their john deere or other equipment. Well the ftc announced they're going to war with corporate America over this and look what happens You're seeing REAL time results. Go to rural America and they'll tell you how non compete clauses destroy rural America. Most small towns and cities only have one hospital and the doctors who work for the hospitals are forced to sign non competes. This forces patients to go through the system which is hard for alot of folks financially. I've had doctors tell me for years that they wished non competes were banned so they can independently see patients without their corporations telling them they can or cant. Well biden just banned non competes which would impact FOURTY MILLION AMERICANS. The entire American system is structured to benefit corporate America and screw over ordinary Americans. No other president would be as tough as buden because they still have a post presidential life to live. If you want to be corrupted then the easiest way to go is having a lax ftc that allows corporate America to do whatever. (Which Obamas ftc did) Biden is too old to be corrupted and has no life to live after presidency which allows him to go big.
I was going to vote for Biden again, but since he picked the losing team for the super bowl, I'll vote for the Republicans.
@basso literally waited the minute after it ended to post it as well. He has to be the most committed right wing troll here. The funny thing about libertarians is the life that you want can never happen without strong anti trust enforcement. If the FTC doesn't police bad behavior you'll have exactly the broken system that in place today. I can literally name you thousands of issues that corporate consolidation is causing which none of which you will like. Always remember we have a binary option in this nation. It's either: 1. We allow billionaires and corporations to dictate what society should and shouldn't do. 2. We have a strong FTC that is accountable to the American people through free and fair elections. There'd no third option. We either have billionaires make rules for us or we have the ftc fight for a fair and just system. Goodrx was literally selling patient demographics to social media companies. This is what happens we have no enforcement. Libertarians live in a effin bubble.
Not only do you not understand the economy (whether you managed to make some money is irrelevant, and your bragging is embarrassing), you also do not understand what a libertarian is.
Libertarians don't understand what a libertarian is. No chance you're considering yourself one...are you? Because you would have a problem with your favorite governor using the government to punish private companies because they disagree with him and his policies. That's literally the opposite of being libertarian. I have yet to see or hear a person who claims to be Libertarian actually live up to those principles.
lol Biden escalates fight over Social Security and Medicare, frustrating Republicans WASHINGTON — After President Joe Biden pummeled Republicans on Social Security and Medicare during his State of the Union address, drawing shouts of outrage from the party, Republican leaders urged him to stop telling Americans that the GOP wants to slash those retirement programs. Then Biden paid a visit to Florida and did it again, exasperating the party and escalating a fight that is poised to play out on Capitol Hill and in the 2024 presidential election. “The president, for a few weeks now, has been falsely saying that there are people that want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare. And it’s been inaccurate for a long time — and you saw last night when he tried to pin it on us,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told NBC News one day after Biden's speech to Congress. “I just hope he stops going around the country telling that falsehood because there’s no truth to it."
"I don't understand how the economy works" lol says the person who supports DeSantis who voted to cut Medicare and social security. It's hilarious how right wingers pretend only they know how the economy works when under them we've had a **** economy. Bush was responsible for the recession and Regan was responsible for destroying American capitalism. I'm sure only you know how the economy works LOL. I have a MS from Bauer kiddo. This happens all throughout our economy. I can give you a million examples how corporate America has rigged the economy. I see it every day. Difference now is we have a ftc who's actually fighting for workers
