We’re like the only “first world” country that has no healthcare and we have more billionaires then any other country and soon to be one trillionaire, what do you think?
And a crap load of people living on or under the poverty live working two or three jobs with zero PTO, crippling student debt ratios, sky high childcare costs, no family leave, and on and on. No, you don’t seem well.
It’s insane that you have people working multiple part time jobs totaling 40+ hr/week but still don’t have employer-subsidized healthcare because employers don’t have to offer it to employees working under a certain number of hours/week. And there are businesses that deliberately offer only part time jobs for that exact reason.
I’m not well versed in this but I was under the assumption that anyone who worked 32 or more hours was eligible for some kind of insurance through their employer, which is why so many people are stuck at 31 hours a week.
I’m not super well versed on it either, but yes, 30 hours or more is considered full time employment, and businesses that have 50 or more full time or full time equivalent employees are required to offer heatlhcare. But a lot of small businesses aren’t going to meet the 50 employee requirement. The situation I was focusing on was a person with several different employers, none of which is required to offer health care to their employee who works for them for let’s say 15 hrs/week.
Tbh… When I visited Denver last week from melbourne, sadly I discovered the people there were doing better than here. It seems like a few people here have gotten far more toxic than the US.
Everyone there was super nice.
That being said though, the same kind of voter here causing things to be bad for everyone, seem to be the same as US
I mean when Trump was shot at, people here had a quite similar sentiment.
Also all the “violence is not part of american political culture” hurrdurrs of politicians and celebrities afterwards are just completely false. Violence and political violence are an integral part of American culture. I think no other country had as many successful and attempted assassinations of their presidents.
I don’t think political violence is all that uncommon in the world. Since the 19th century Japan’s had 7 out of 64 PMs assassinated with another ~dozen plots or attempts.
Ffs, America. You’re not well, are you?

Capitalism at it’s finest. Working just as intended. Nothing to see here, move along, serfs.
Oh, look, someone who’s different. Let’s get angry at them instead!
I like the cut of your jib!

The whole country going insane makes me feel like I’M insane, because a rational world view no longer applies.

Denver is one of the more educated and civilized areas of the US.
