universal healthcare is not broken and anyone trying to convince you it is is delusional and a dckrider for big health insurance. yes there are wait times but waiting for care is Not the same as being denied care.
in america your physician prescribes care and an insurer can still cuck you out of it because someone across the continent who has never met you can say: doesn’t seem medically necessary. Leaving you to handle a bill that is wildly inflated by the same insurers that just denied you.
let me drill it through your head you can pay thousands a year in premiums and still end up sick and financially burdened for years by One incident. no insurance company is Avoiding going broke by denying claims. theyre doing it to profit off your misfortune and your illness. Because healthcare fundamentally does not cost the amount that they claim it to be.
#delete later#out of pocket rant#i hate these god awful takes on universal health care#and i hate this oh he killed a father#how many fathers do you think uhc let die be real with me#oh 8 billion is only 6% profit margin#bitch it could be 2 percent it could be a negative loss#this is me saying oh i resold a shoe for $60 after buying it for $50 when i also made it for 80 cents#i have been denied things like chest xrays and lung exams#i btw have had a chronic cough for 4+ years#in canada i got this done on the same fking day and results back within a month#there are indeed horror stories and on both sides of know ppl who died due to delayed diagnosis#and ppl who died bc they didnt even want the diagnosis it would have cost them too much#but robbing someone of the choice in my opinion is the worse of the two#putting someone in an impossible position like that is evil#this country love god so much better start praying u stay healthy bc thats the most important thing#also like those horror stories of wait times in the er#im gonna be real if u have severe stomach pain are actively bleeding heart attack or stroke#you will be seen asap#yes if unfortunately everyone around u that day decided to have a stroke or heart attack ur appendicitis will be punted down the line#this is a resource issue NOT a cost issue#this is a they also cut funding to nursing school and limited the number of ppl who can pursue medical degrees issue#not a we dont have privatized health care issue#bc ultimately u need a doctor to see u#not someones sister who is taking stabs at it#and every doctor is bound by the concept of time???#u still have to wait in america ur Charged for it also#and yall it doesn’t even have to be a Big incident#ur local urgent care might just be closed after 8pm and at 9pm u need stitches#or have severe stomach pains and just want it checked

hi this is your obligatory reminder from a Mi'kmaq-Saulteaux pal that:
1.) the ribbon skirt is a traditional ceremonial garment worn by many First Nations women to celebrate their connection to Mother Earth and reclaim their Indigenous identity from and in spite of colonization;
2.) the RCMP was literally founded as a colonial police force meant to drive Indigenous / First Nations peoples out of their territory to make way for settlers (see: the "starlight tours")
3.) racism towards indigenous people in Canada is still alive and well (the last residential school didn't close until 1996) and so the RCMP adopting ribbon skirts is not only incredibly tone deaf towards their own history and the role they played in wiping out Indigenous culture, but insulting to the practice of ribbon skirts and what they mean to many Indigenous people across the country
4.) when a government entity limits who can comment on their posts, that should tell you exactly where their priorities and intentions lie.
#P.S. canada is just as bad as the US when it comes to institutionalized racism#we even have the red vs. blue two party system and all the problems that come with it#canada has just done a better job at depicting itself as some kind of wonderland#even our “free healthcare” is a joke#many of us do not have family doctors and have no way of seeking treatment or basic aid#how about we stop running oil pipes thru indigenous land before adopting the ribbon skirt into the RCMP uniform as a form of “reparation"

So in Alberta Canada, there are more than 80 forest fires burning across the northern half of the province, and at least 24 of them are out of control. And this is all in the last 5 days and it’s probably the worst we’ve ever seen.
So imagine my surprise when I finally get off work and check the Alberta tv news and THEYRE ALL COVERING THE GODDAM CORONATION. I HAD TO FIND OUT ON FACEBOOK THAT 2 OF MY FRIENDS FARMS ARE BURNING DOWN AND I CANT EVEN FIND INFO ON IF MY TOWN IS NEXT. This is so unbearably frustrating that I can find more info on the kings crown than I can accurate fire reports for my own community

24 races 🙄
#can they stop#and like yes they’ve gotten slightly better at putting places together but there’s still a long way to go#like do miami and canada as a double since they’re on the same side of the world#but also like why do they have a week off between china and japan cause people will wanna go home#and that defeats the point of putting similar places together#and give us a race in sa!!!!#f1#formula 1

as somebody who has delt with living in a horders house, drug addicted parents, and financial problems seeing lily treat mikaila’s problems as at worst an inconvenience for her and at best something lily can just bring up to get sympathy points for herself is just sad.
#mikaila if you’re reading this don’t wait for lily to swoop you away to canada#find some way to get out of that house even if it’s to a shitty apparent or you have to have roommates it worth it#your life will change for the best in ways you didn’t even know where possible trust me#lily orchard critical#lily orchard#mikaila orchard#mp.txt#should probably add that I’m doing a lot better and have gotten out of a majority of those problems

So. They’re really gonna send the Canadian head coach home bc two members of her staff did something stupid. And they let, and essentially make allowances for the Zambian head coach to coach players he is actively being investigated for sexually assaulting… for the second major tournament in a row (World Cup).
But no. It’s about protecting the game more than the players isn’t it.
#woso#olympic woso#do better FIFA#or the IOC whoever made the decision#or both#this is insanity#as a US can I generally do not like Canada#but I want to beat them straight up#not because their manager is gone#and don’t even get me started on the Zambian head coach#the players deserve better#protect women#period#am I conflating two issues? yeah probably#do I care? no

just thinking abt this again because I was learning to make mooncakes on rednote but I feel like there’s gotta be such a massive cognitive dissonance for someone to genuinely believe Americans are lazy and self centered and uncaring for not intimately understanding other cultures as so similar to their own while having clear and objective evidence that our entire system is desperately trying to convince us that both of these apps are security threats from a country that took all our jobs and is basically our biggest threat or whatever. like none of these are accurate but they’re literally enacting laws that only work because they’ve pushed for xenophobia so hard our entire lives.
#and like I knew other cultures were very similar and people were people but#when I visited Canada i was fucking baffled. it was so much better. and I don’t mean I was surprised it was good#it was the first time I could visibly see what rundown muck we live in.#they literally do not want us to know it can be better than this.

guy who is both the chronic overthinker who needs to worldbuild and the fearful scared when he sees how much ground he needs to cover to flesh out said worldbuilding
#sprite.exe#repeating THE TIME WILL PASS ANYWAYS to myself to stop being scared#already considering scrapping a huge chunk of stuff to replace with something more sci-fi generic bc the amount of geopolitical research i'#have to do to make it feel Good is. a lot. a Lot. um#shoves the current events to the side and starts rummaging through my star trek and gundam knowledge for bits n bobs to stick on my stuff#like what ive done so far spawns from seeing current events and thinking about what a better canada would look like#but overall i think its better to just like. exchange it for something more generic and easier to bullshit so i dont feel as daunted by it#IDK . more art will come before more lore will i suppose

Okay I'm sorry who the FUCK was gonna tell me that Mr. Piece-Of-Actual-Human-Garbage-That-Got-Reelected-(Somehow) is threatening to annex Canada? As in basically take invade and take over Canada? I thought I was safe over here!
No no no no no no no no no no I thought it couldn't get worse I thought it couldn't get worse no there's no way this actually happens. There's no fucking way this country is actually gonna just let this happen. If they fucking try anything and the rest of the world just lets it happen I am actually fully serious when I say this
I will commit arson. I will commit so much arson. I am not joking. I'm not a coward like some of you guys on here. I will burn down several buildings. Because if that happens, there's no hope for me having a good life. If that happens and the everyone else in the world lets it happen, I will lose all hope that things will improve.
If if people let that happen. If it succeeds... Do people understand how serious that is?
Someone please I don't fucking care if you die in the process I mean like I'll think about you a lot and I will be so grateful for what you did whoever you are but please PLEASE SOMEONE KILL THAT STUPID FUCKING MAN! HOW ARE PEOPLE SO BLIND? HE'S NOT YOUR FUCKING GOD STOP TRYING TO SUCK HIS DICK.
BRUTALLY MURDER HIM THE SAME WAY HE'S ABOUT TO DO TO SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE AND ALREADY HAS
This is not an exaggeration. This man is the Hitler of the 21st century. He has to die.
#you cannot seriously just sit here and expect things to get better if you just hope things will improve#that's now how it works#Have we learned nothing from history?#can we please just pretend to be french for once and do exactly what the french would do in this same situation#I'd already be setting fires and committing vandalism if I wasn't in high school#call me crazy but I don't want to get murdered#wow what a controversial opinion it would seem#y'know I'm in an especially revolutionary spirit today#maybe it's the french blood coursing through my veins#canada#canadian politics#politics#us politics#america#I support basic human rights#I also believe said rights include the right to absolutely abolish any government that turns into an authoritarian dictatorship#And publicly execute that motherfucker#I will be dancing in the streets the day he finally drops dead

it’s genuinely fucking disrespectful to the sport for norris to keep winning DOTD despite poor performances when other drivers deserve it more, but don’t have as big of fan bases
#him winning in Canada was insane when Alex had that crazy overtake#and him winning in Spain despite bottling pole to a slower car#like it’s ridiculous#and im a hater but also don’t understand why#like I’m a huge Charles fan but I don’t even vote for him every race if another driver performs better#like either people need to start taking dotd seriously or they should stop doing it cuz#its just a popularity contest at this point#lando norris#mclaren#formula 1#spanish gp 2024#driver of the day
