Found in a post today on a discussion of whether ACA has been harmful or helpful:

quote:

He was working a job he hated so we both could have insurance. With the ACA he could retire which kept him healthier since his stress level was off the charts at work.

Under the ACA we both got better insurance than he had from work at about the same rate he had to pay for his employer supplied crap.

This January he went on Medicare. I start in July. But our ACA policies carried us through while getting out of an abusive job situation has made the last few years much better than they would have been.



What in the ever living frick? Abusive job situation? fricking walk out the door. Leave all of your shite behind if you don't like your job.

Political extremists are always victims on both sides. For reference, look how many "omgz white males are the real ones being oppressed" threads that get posted here per day. You guys are just on the other extreme.

Abusive job situation


I had an employee quit a few years ago(walked off the job) and called me the next day wanting her job back which I politely declined. She filed for unemployment. I fought her all the way to the third level administrative hearing where she claimed abusive job situation for her reason for quitting. When my time came to speak at the hearing I simply asked if it was such an abusive situation why did you ask for your job back the next day. The administrative judge smirked and dismissed her case. Some people are just loons

I often wonder who is really oppressed. Especially when I go to Wal-Mart and have to choose between chicken and steak. The food stamp bitch in front of me has a basket full of everything she wants while I ration until the next paycheck.

Given that the majority of this board voted for a populist on the message of blaming immigrants and international trade for all of your problems...yea...This board has no room to talk.

You should go to Tony's Seafood if you really want to get pissed. I was there a few weeks ago and the woman in front of me bought a $150 worth of fresh shrimp and catfish with a LA purchase card.

Why is it that old (retirement age) people think they shouldn't have to suffer to get us out of this fricking shite hole of a mess the country is in? Most of them had a hand in putting us in this position.. Now they cry about Medicare or Social Security getting taxed and or cut.


As far as this dumb bitch, She has no feet grounded in reality.

The average food stamp monthly benefit is 125 dollars in Louisiana. How is it possible for her to full up here cart with that amount of money? Remember, that is for the whole month. If somehow she is able to do it (why call her a bitch, what did she do to you?) then she has to make that cart last 30 days.

Just go frick off with your inaccurate lying nonsense Propaganda.

Obama's Admin ENCOURAGED lawlessness, especially WRT not enforcing the law against illegal immigration. We the People got tired of his blatant and proud lawlessness.

The trade deals in many cases are unfair to the USA and hurt US workers. We the Workers got tired of this blatant punishment of the people that make this country work.

Obama has contempt for the working people that produce and make this country work. He sees them as bitter clingers and The Goose that Lays Golden Eggs to support Globalist Socialism. It's a rich pocket to pick for him and his ilk.

Trump is POTUS because the right thinking people got WOKE and said, "I'm as mad as Hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"

And when the people elect a leader who agrees with them that the System is rigged and that the Establishment rigged it -- the Establishment will try to destroy that leader BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, including using the Apparatus of Der Staat to spy on that leader.

I have a family member that argues for ACA so that she can retire early. So she wants to retire EARLY, get subsidized premiums and have me pay for it.

That conversation didn't go over very well.

Workers have gotten screwed much, much more by computerization and robotics than trade deals.

I love how people rail on the "globalist elites".

Then we will see a thread about fast food workers in some liberal town like Seattle asking for 15 dollars an hour.

This will draw a response about how this will only cost them jobs as fast food franchises turn to automation.

Then there will be a link to some article about robots serving food at Wendy's and kiosks at McDonalds and many posters will be all excited about how those greedy workers are getting their comeuppance.

For some reason, people do not realize that the only people winning in that situation are the Global Elites they are bitching about in different threads.

It makes no sense to me.

1. Global elites suck!
2. Fast food workers want a raise? Who do they think they are!
3. Yeah robots! Screw you hamburger flipper. Lazy bum.
4. Global elites suck!

No, I'm also winning because a robot won't frick up my order every single goddamn time while bitching about not getting paid $15 an hour.
