Nothing about it was quick.
Had to drive nearly an hour over to the next town. Then wait in a lobby for the same amount of time. Then drive to a pharmacy to pick up the pills. Half of my day when I knew I just needed a basic antibiotic.

Ignoring the snark in your comment...
I assume you take issue with UBI?
Would you feel different if we 'required service' for UBI? For example, some countries have mandatory military service. If we nationalize these giant corporations, we could make working there a way to qualify for UBI.
Do you think UBI is just taking money from the average person and giving it to lazy people who do nothing? Or do you enjoy the separation of the rich while the rest of us struggle for scraps? Do you understand that the UBI would apply to you as well?
Or am I missing deeper thoughts given to your comment?
How would there be thousands? There aren't thousands of nations, and everyone would still use Google.
If you break it up, that's how you get thousands of shitty versions.
Maybe some countries might disable Google if it was owned by the US, but I have a feeling those countries already have their own issues with Google as it stands now.
I just think if the monopolistic corporations are too big and too essential to take down, then nationalization is a solution with many more positive traits than negative.
This last winter I was unemployed and I got sick enough to need antibiotics.
I couldn't prove that I didn't have a job, so the 'sliding scale clinic' charged me $586 to talk to someone (not a doctor). I knew what I needed. I was forced to take an unnecessary STD test ($180) and to promise I would go in for additional testing and scanning (undisclosed price, to be determined AFTER).
The meds were around $40 for a week of pills (15 pills).
I knew my issue, and just needed a prescription for the antibiotics.
I have a job now. They want about $200 a month for the basic coverage. I have on average, $20-$30 at the end of the pay period. So I could get insurance, but it means skipping more meals (I already skip several a week to save money).
So I just hope nothing ever goes wrong because if it does, I'll need to be close to death before I get help that will take me years to pay for.
Don't 'break it up', nationalize it, and do the same with all these other giant corporations.
Profits could support UBI instead of encouraging billionaires.
The camps are already built, they just aren't being used yet.
I think what they may be trying to say is that the majority of Trump supporters are not the rabid followers. This is why they are so dangerous. The majority of his support is not the crazy people you see on TV. They are your friends, family and coworkers, your neighbors, people you know.
Trump is selling a solution to the political corruption that nearly EVERYONE is sick of. This is what makes him popular. The people voting for him will tolerate non-direct racism but they aren't choosing that side because of it. What you hear about from the media is the crazy people that make good stories.
And yes, Trump brings along a con-crew with their own agenda who are just as corrupt as those that Trump complains about. They've been scheming long before Trump, he's just the current tool.
Got stopped by a rando while trying to build up the courage to jump. Told him that my car was broken down and that's why I was stopped in the middle of the bridge in pouring down rain.
He got out and offered to help me, despite the fact that it was 3AM and the rain was coming down hard.
Awkward.
The car of course started just fine and I thanked him and continued my drive home.
I doubt he had any idea the difference he made.
I did maintenance for a low income building. They would have me upgrade specific units so they could Airbnb them while they denied low income applications to keep those units empty. Disabled people who needed housing were denied because it was more profitable to leave it empty and rent it out to tourists a few times a month.
We also didn't do maintenance on specific units in order to get tenants to move out. There was a specific unit that was given to new tenants that would routinely flood. They used it to get rid of people that complained too much. If you only complained a little and cooperated with their bs, you could eventually move to a unit that stayed dry all year.
What a weird choice for a photo
Does BK still say "Have it your way"?
Or M&Ms "Melt in your mouth, not in your hand."
He was milking them.
