- Comment on I got out easy, I'm assuming 4 days ago:
The really weird part is, a friend of mine on Medicare with supplemental private insurance was recently diagnosed with a mass in an area known for developing rapidly metastasizing cancer and had to wait several months to be seen by an oncologist, who confirmed they do indeed have that form of cancer. They were then scheduled to begin radiation a month out but for some reason had to wait an additional month. I'm betting your friend got immediate treatment because they paid much better than Medicare does.

- Comment on Three-quarter of Brits support a wealth tax, YouGov poll finds 6 days ago:
Scrapping different income tax levels and replacing them with a “flat” income tax that is set at the same level for everybody – 20% in favour
😖
- Comment on Why don't police use rubber bullets instead of live rounds? I get if someone is holding a loaded weapon. But wouldn't a rubber bullet have the same effect with out putting holes in another person? 1 week ago:
They're rubber -coated and can and do maim and kill.
- Comment on Why do so many boomers and even some gen x believe so peristently that if you dressup and show up in person anywhere you will get whatever you went there for? 1 week ago:
I meant in addition to online applications.

With fake job posts and AI resumé scanning, showing up can't hurt.

Toyota has quality on their side. "Cheap" can be over-priced, but sometimes "less expensive” can be "better quality."

I guess people just associate Nazis with swastikars.

Somewhere on your instance page, usually at the bottom, you can click "instances" and see which are federated and not.

With the right organic produce, that won't be necessary. 😅

Organic produce. High-fat soap.
- Comment on Monkey see, monkey bitch 3 weeks ago:
"how it should have been to begin with" is of no value other than a historical data point from which to begin. Anything more than that is at once hobbling (Cathy Bates in Misery), and an unnecessary burden along the way. Or more succinctly, "he was always greedy; though what he grasps with one hand he flings away wit the other."
- Comment on Pubs could stay open until early hours in move to boost UK growth 3 weeks ago:
Schism is highly valuable to societies organized on eternal growth, and the failure of keeping the masses divorced from understanding profit, abundance, and value as more than actual money is highly profitable to those societies. Although in indirect ways, these things are indeed monitarily profitable.
Something about the cost of everything and value of nothing.
- Comment on Monkey see, monkey bitch 3 weeks ago:
A tale as old as time. It's amusing watching generations behind me discover it like it's brand new, just like I did. Multigenerational trauma is real. Multigenerational growth can be, too.
- Comment on When did Cash for Chritianity become a thing? When even Jesus the son of god wouldn't stand for it in a church? If they preach why don't they practice from the bible? 3 weeks ago:
Exactly. But people have the idea that Jesus was against money. He wasn't, in fact he lived off money given to him by "women of means," and spoke about how one should give. He was against greed and using G*d like these charlatans. He didn't tell regular people to give it all up, just greedy people, because they worshipped money, which is idolatry, adultery against the their marriage covenant to the father. And that's the issue.

Note Jesus didn't disdain giving alms, but said the poor widow gave more than rich men, who also flaunted giving. Women and orphans were the beneficiaries of these funds as well, I am guessing, as temple upkeep and scribes, priests maybe, etc.
He was enraged at the selling of animals for sacrifice. I can't imagine it was for usurious rates.
You'd have to further research it on sites that specifically address Jewish law, preferably from Aramaic and Jewish translations. I have fur babies hindering me rn
