A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Adding $660,000,000,000 to the federal deficit annually and still not making a dent in people's healthcare costs?

A single-payer universal healthcare system would be cheaper, as almost every other country's systems show.

The real trick is to get private equity and for-profit corporations out of healthcare. All they do is drive up costs while lowering outcomes.

Healthcare should be a public service, funded by the government.

Yeah, the US actually pays more PUBLIC funds per person than most other nations. Then the private cost on top - all for worse health outcomes.

We need more Luigis just from a financial perspective.

You can take out the "almost" here. Literally every other country on Earth pays half or less per capita than what we pay in the US, and this has been the case for decades.

UNH, CVS, ELV and CI share holders disagree with you and thanks to the SCOTUS Citizen United decision they have to money and the legal framework to legally bribe politicians. I'll suggest to invest in those companies rather than flight them.
