“If somebody wants to eat that stuff, they’re welcome to it — they’re just not gonna find it in Nebraska grocery stores.”

So they are not, in fact, “welcome to it”.

Yes. It’s projected that if nothing else changes, in 2033 they will reduce payouts by 23% and thus continue operating for the foreseeable future.

But unlike debtors, Social Security can unilaterally reduce its expenses at any time. That’s precisely why it cannot go bankrupt or become insolvent.

A declaration of war requires an act of Congress.

Social Security has (a) no debt and (b) a perpetual source of revenue. Therefore, it can never go bankrupt or become insolvent.

The only question is if it will be forced to reduce its expenses by up to 30%.

Were you one of the Lemmy users who thought Trump was “universally hated”? If so, you were in for a big surprise there too.

29% of people have “very unfavorable” views of Luigi Mangione, compared to only 13% of Brian Thompson. The vast majority believe his murder was not justified.

No, they generally do get health care. In fact, most insured adults give their health insurance an overall rating of “excellent” or “good”, even if they are in poor health.

It’s true that there are horror stories, but those are not the majority.

When someone stops paying their insurance, they stop getting healthcare. Most people don’t want that.

It’s kind of like saying “If everyone said fuck it and set their car on fire, then oil companies would suffer”. Yes, but they aren’t the only ones who would suffer.

You’re the one who doesn’t know whether Trump will be better or worse on Gaza.

I already know.

In other words, you are entering the “Find Out” stage.

So on Brand

They can still catch screw ups (check to confirm if the doctor really wants something). But if the doctor insists that they want it, then the hospital/pharmacy has to provide it.

This law doesn’t really restrict what doctors do. If anything it gives doctors more power.

It restricts hospitals and pharmacies, basically preventing them from vetoing prescriptions from idiot doctors.

That’s not what it says.

Under the proposed law, a doctor can prescribe a drug (or not) as they already do. It requires hospitals to dispense the drug if a doctor prescribed it (exception: the usual religious nonsense).

Currently hospitals can refuse to fill a prescription under some circumstances, if they disagree with the doctor.

Judge Lopez didn’t say it was corrupt, quite the opposite. But he did think it was flawed.

By all accounts, Trump genuinely wanted Gaetz to be his AG.

It’s either that or simply confirm all of Trump’s nominees. But given what happened to Gaetz, they don’t seem to want to do so.
