Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

"But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians."

People don't vote for candidates to make life better, they vote for stopgaps to make it stop from getting worse. Harris was the stopgap candidate, she was merely going to clot the bleeding.

Best is when have good insurance and they still refuse to cover the meds wife needs. just use the manufacturer program to let them pay for the drug we refuse to cover.

Okay let me go do that, oh just make over the cut off for the program.... Guess she just won't get meds she needs because no one not making millions can afford $1200 a month prescription.
