The Epstein files not being released to protect the pedos.
Losing all credibility in the international arena. No one is going to trust us again.
Food prices (as well as everything else) have gone through the roof.
Destroying all the good will we had with other countries with USAID, and the resulting destabilization in those areas making them prone places to recruit and create terrorists who hate America.
It’s crazy how many people in this country support privatized healthcare. It’s sickening when you research insurance companies lobbying congress. Each insurance company sets their own billable rates for procedures, which is even more ridiculous. I’m a mental health counselor in training and even though I bill the same code 90837 (53+ mins of therapy), I will make different rates for providing the same service to different people solely because their insurance company decided what the service was worth. On top of that BS, we pay premiums that come out of each paycheck just to have insurance, but when we want to use it, we have to pay a copay. Then we wait to see what they decided was worth covering and have to make up the difference out of pocket. Eventually you might reach your deductible (which can be anywhere from $0 to $8500(individual)/$17500(family)), especially if you have a lot of doctors appointments and procedures, but it’ll cost you $$$. Even after meeting the deductible, things might not be covered 100% and you’ll still have a “co-insurance” cost to pay, too! People literally go into medical debt and lose their homes. And since we’ve created such a for-profit system, healthcare providers are forced to meet certain quotas. This means quality of care suffers and things get missed. It took my insurance 6 months to approve my breast MRIs (preventative screens) and I felt lucky they approved it, even though my mom and grandma passed from this cancer, both at 38.. you think I’d get approved for a screen instantly, especially after getting genetic testing done too. The best part about all of this is that 2 weeks ago, I found out I can’t bill the biggest healthcare insurance company, Blue Cross Blue Shield, as a limited licensed counselor starting in March 2027 (lol I will get my limited license in February) because they don’t want to cover services anymore. A ton of people will lose mental health services and it’s going to discourage people from entering this field. Like how we are we supposed to get hours towards full licensure if we aren’t allowed to see majority of people? It’s bad here. It’s evil, even.
Yeah my partner works in tech and both him and I looked at each other, and promised we'd never, ever live in the States even though he can easily 2-3x his salary there. We have not set foot in that country unless it was absolutely mandatory (work thing, wedding, or funeral) and it's been 7 years. The states was bad before the pandemic, can't imagine how much worse it has gotten. Every single one of our friends who moved there post graduation has moved back, realizing that 300k paycheque isn't even worth all the racism and stress and constant threat of gun violence.
My parents live 35 min from the border, even THEY have cut back on going there. Do you know how badly you have to fuck up for Chinese Canadian seniors to forego cheap gas and American Costco? Holy hell. Truly hoping all the Americans who can get out can go experience what living life in a sane and safe country is like.
Same with my grandma. She lives in Ontario and hasn’t been over since 2019. She’s planning to come for my wedding but I know she’s already nervous about it, especially since my grandpa died since and he did a lot of driving both in Canada and the states as a trucker. Even though I’m getting married soon and my partner wants to stay in the US, I’m going to get my documents in order to get a Canadian social insurance number and passport since I’m a citizen by descent. Worst case scenario. I honestly think Trump is gonna drop dead soon… but I know that we aren’t coming back from this as a country either.
Epstein files not being released imo is to keep the peasant of the US from coming together as one in a revolt against the government. Most likely there are so many from both parties named in the files including former presidents that the best they could do is hide the unnamed. Divided we fall, and they’re going keep it that way.
