Vote against perscription only drug laws, vote against medical cartels, vote for public funding of healthcare. Make them pay some of those taxes back to us!

    The trans sport thing is probably the one thing the right is correct on when it comes to trans issues and the one position where they have popular support. Dont fall into that trap. They will use it as an emotional wedge to paint trans people as irrational and unreasonable. Most people do support trans rights, but a large majority of people do not want them competing against biological females in sports. Its not fair for them, and it sucks for trans people because they have no option, but its the only good solution we have right now.

    not fair for cis women isn't true. trans women who go through HRT are pretty much the same as cis women in terms of strength

    This is very close to true after a few years or maybe people who take hrt before puberty but generally most teenagers shouldnt be doing full dose hrt imo. A mild dose it better, it gives them flexability to go either way later in life.

    Also there are a few advantages males who have had tedtoterone are going to have, like wider shoulders, denser bones and stuff. Im not against it but its a hard sell for most. Around 2/3rds of americans are against it.

    This is why most of the world literally laughs about the US. Civilized countries have long removed finance from the worries you have when getting into an accident.

    Yeah, normally this meme wouldn't be about life-changing consequences to ones personal finances but about life-changing consequences on someones body due to a medical emergency.

    I've noticed that a significant majority of makers on YouTube that I watch are Canadian. It's easier to bootstrap a channel when you don't have to pay out of pocket for insurance or emergency care. Americans won't take that risk so they start channels while they have another job and most don't make it to a sustainable size to quit the regular job.

    Step 2: Don't get disowned for being neurodivergent, gay/lesbian, transgender, having relationship with someone of another race, etc. And kiss ass a lot, your life is under complete control of your parents until they die.

    funnier because, in America, it can be a traffic accident that IS the medical emergency!

    It's the very reason I left the US, abandoning the PR effort in 2k4 within my H1Bs, and came home.
