They're already "looking into" how to legally "deport" US citizens, they want everyone who doesn't fit their definition of an ideal white, Christian, facist into a concentration camp or out of the country.

Then nowhere has ever had a golden age.

Large segments. There's never a perfect golden age anywhere if we only look at poverty.

And yet houses were affordable. The rate of home ownership was 65.6% in 1980 and was 65.6% in 2024 as well. The Volker shock started under Carter and continued under Reagan was much more impactful in the strong growth economy to follow than the Reagan tax cuts.

You're not wrong but it allowed a few generations to be quite comfortable. Stole our future for their comfort at the time but that the comfort existed and could have continued without such greed is just another nail in the laissez faire capitalist coffin.

Think my tracker is behind only shows me down like 5% from peak right now.

Fall of the republic, rise of the empire. Rome. We had some good decades with an actual middle class. Always room for improvement but the 80s-early 10s were overall pretty good for most Americans.

Oh we'll get there soon enough in Greenland, Panama, and probably Ukraine on the Russian side

Even liberals have been saying that now in modern times. Isolationism is a prime Republican message for a reason.

The line must go up so lobbying+no spines has ensured we haven't do anything about it. There have been are a couple rare earth mines here in the US but it hasn't been profitable and has been heavily subsidized. We needed some other source ready before doing something like this and we don't have it. So it's just stupid.

It's been about 40-60y since our last go at it, they've forgotten and should be reminded. Kindly first, then with a bottle of chianti if necessary.

With Medicare and social security cuts how old you are doesn't matter anymore(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ

To Republicans that's a women problem. They're trying to make no fault divorce illegal. And they'll keep pushing beyond that as well, martial rape will be relagalized, women won't have bank accounts, etc.

As other have said Tinder was the biggest shift and the prime reason as stated is there's a lot of fear that gets removed when you know you're both there to date and you both at least superficially like each other.

This was before it was enshittified. Superlikes weren't a thing, you had unlimited swipes and the algorithm tried to get you a match. Post-enshittification the algorithm tries to keep you hooked and paying. So there's been a slight shift back to in-person but life is busy and expensive.

Shift happened well before 2019/2020.

There's elections every year so 7 months not 19 before we may start to see effects. Heck Florida has special elections June 10.

We're also talking about a state election not nationwide. This should be an apples to oranges thing in terms of spending.

Think the point is that so much money shouldn't be available to spend on politics like this. This was more money than the 2000 presidential campaign by either side (and even then people were talking about how campaign finance was broken).

Cory Booker just filibustered for 25h against the social security and medicare/aid cuts.

They're a lot better in terms of tracking. No white out, backdating, loss in natural disaster. Better privacy as who looks is logged and requires note of reason for a non-provider to look. Tracking helps bill you yes but it can also help fight if records don't match.

Even if records can't be directly imported across systems it can be sent a lot faster and easier which is important to efficient, effective care. If you stay within a given hospital/provider system integration works pretty dang well.

Paper records are worse in many ways getting rid of them was a big push of the ACA for a reason. Obama admin did choose implementation before integration at the time but that is a reform to what exists you don't have to reinvent the wheel so to speak.

The insurance dildo is a mostly separate issue from ehr.
