It’s time for a general strike. Grinding this economy to a fucking halt is the only way we get what we want from these fucking morons.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

All those old folks and Medicare red state disabled MAGAs that voted for trump because scary darker-skinned people and all America needs is a good curb-stomping gestapo to put all those uppity commie starbucks-drinking protesters in their place are now going to reap the benefits of their vote yet again…with higher drug prices.
Makin' 'Merica Even Greater Again!!!!
You mean this will start right after Democrats have a chance to take over the House and Senate? I feel like I’ve seen this before.
don't worry, this won't happen
Huge tariffs on generic drugs and now huge increases in prescription drug plan premiums.
Trump is a sadistic, malignant narcissist who loves causing misery and death.
Not more than he loves raping children.
I would argue that causes misery (and, unfortunately, probably death, too).
Don't forget all the prescription drugs not crossing hormuz
Thank God all my international darknet market purchases are air mail.
This is objectively awful and will hurt and kill so many undeserving people. The most frustrating part of it is that so many of the 60+ demographic voted for this. They wanted to kick "lazy people" off the "welfare state", and forgot that they need that same welfare state for their medical needs (Medicare) and retirement income (social security).
It's so sad that so many people have to suffer because such a large portion of the US believes that helping other people is too risky because they might help someone that they don't think needs it.
Cue a bunch of these fucksticks saying stupid shit like they "didn't vote for this" or that he's "not hurting the people he needs to be hurting".
Imagine, being motivated to vote for a candidate in order to try to hurt others. Not to really make your life any better, no sir.
My mother back in the 80s proudly explained to us that even though she could get food stamps, she wouldn't since that would make her a bad person.
My mother has bitched about "Obamacare" for years now. I'm sure this will be his fault too.
I mean Trump won the first time in part because racist America hated Obama so much.
Thanks Obama
Remember when he crowed that he was going to bring down Medicare medicine costs by 600%, 700%, 1500%? (Which of course made ZERO sense.)
It's all turned out to be completed bullshit. Just like everything else!
Wow, so so shocked! /s
to bring down Medicare medicine costs by 600%, 700%, 1500%?
Only half lie. Percentage was correct. Direction was not!
He is such a hero. Starving children and taking medication from the sick and old. MAGAts must be proud.
Reader, they are. It’s . . . bad.
ffs somebody do the right thing already!
The right doing their thing is what got us here in the first place!
Healthcare Affordability a focus in the midterms?What midterms? Not the precooked ones lmao.
