I get so tired of the bs about socialism & how Ds play into the misconception Rs push. The type of socialist gov't, like USSR, they're evoking w/ horror is one where gov't takes over all means of production and runs it all. Please tell me which Dem has ever suggested this? 1)

If Fire Departments acted like Health Insurance Companies in the US. #satire #insurance #MarketDriven #SocialSafetyNet

Essential services and our social safety net should never be for profit. They should be supported by our tax dollars. That's not socialism. That's the common good to give everyone a chance to thrive. Destroying that will end the middle class and return us to serfdom paying homage to our financial owners - the morbidly rich. All that will do is throw hundreds of millions into poverty.

“We forget that a funeral home needs to be a profit center,” says Haneman. “Every death is an opportunity for them to drive costs.”

Living long enough to watch the United States become one of the most backwards among the developed nations of the world was not in my plans. But here I am. #ReproductiveRights #Healthcare #QualityOfLife #StandardOfLiving #SocialSafetyNet #Authoritarianism #ChristianNationalism
