1. Medicare for all

“If true” hooooooly shit you just live in a different reality, huh.

My favorite part of random picture communities is that I get to experience little slices of particularly notable life experiences different people have. This still fulfills that for me.

I won’t touch your statement that someone can house, feed, and transport themselves while being near a university for $833/mo because it’s so patently absurd and out of touch that I don’t even know where to start.

But addressing the costs, you also forgot that tuition is not the only cost of education. The “mandatory fees” part of the calculator you provided is using weasel words and I guarantee there are more fees than the quote. Every class will have an additional lab fee, or computer access fee, or materials fee or some such that is supposedly specific to the class (but really it’s so the administration can hide the fees through complexity). You can expect to pay about $300-800/class/semester for required access to the website you use to turn your homework in (yes, this is a thing now). You can’t buy used textbooks the way you used to be able to because the edition shuffling shenanigans are 100x more intense than they were when you were in school. Also you can expect to pay hundreds per month for a parking pass because anything near transit is out of your housing budget.

The point is that you went from 0-100 and implied that someone who clearly shows compassion towards the unhoused is calling for the bulldozing of tent camps, which is an extremely traumatic and sad thing that isn’t funny.

The useless tiny lawn:tree/shrub ratio in this neighborhood is extremely depressing.

Which part of protist’s statement implied any of what you said?

It’s not a train station platform’s job to solve all of society’s problems. During rush hour a train station platform is extremely overcrowded. It’s a serious issue and one of the top reasons people choose to avoid transit, which makes climate change dramatically worse.

Hostile architecture in parks and other open spaces and actual fucking housing is where you should be spending your lobbying effort.

The amount of student money that goes to professors is statistically insignificant. The rest goes to bullshit management that inevitably springs up when building a utopia.

This hasn’t been possible since about 2008/2010. The cost of college has more than tripled since then and wages are exactly the same.

What are you asking for?

You sure it’s 50A? I thought it was usually 30.

No that would be to plug in to another room that isn’t required to have GFCI.

Unless you join the military.

If you want to successfully toasterbath, you have to plug into a non-gfci protected circuit (the ones with the button that says test monthly that you have never tested).

I wouldn’t really call it socialist because it’s not self-funding. The 99% of non-military people put a huuuuuuuge amount of money into the military community to fund its creation and existence.

It’s important to remember that living in this kind of utopia is highly unsustainable and everyone comes out of it with heavy debt that can take half a lifetime to recover from.

I’m not serially online enough to understand what you mean, can you expand on this?

Pay2win garbage

It bothers me endlessly that people who advocate for keeping the tipping system are directly asking to perpetuate racism. Many of them don’t even know thats what they’re doing, but I’m slowly learning that most people (including minorities) actually like systemic racism.
