LillyPip, to starwarsmemes in Equality

Not gonna lie. I’d watch this movie.

LillyPip, to lemmyshitpost in How I cannot be worry??

People have been fighting for those rights for decades. That doesn’t change the fact some people are destitute because of health issues with no way to improve their personal situation. And if I had the physical ability to organise people and fight for things, I’d have the ability to work. I’m not sure you know what ‘100% disabled’ actually means.

LillyPip, to lemmyshitpost in How I cannot be worry??

Not always. For example, I’m 100% disabled with a neurodegenerative disease for which there’s no treatment or cure.

This is good advice if you’re not locked in a situation entirely out of your control, but for plenty of people it’s not that simple.

LillyPip, (edited ) to piracy in It seems so strange to me that we are locked in battle with providers mining our lives for whatever, and we have to work our asses off trying to stay anonymous, to the point of being denied service

This is almost verbatim the definition of a dystopia, fwiw.

eta: the start of it is nearly a Black Mirror episode

LillyPip, to risa in I hope this ship holds together!

Hey man, this is a Christian server.

LillyPip, to lemmyshitpost in How I cannot be worry??

I agree. Not sure that necessarily means we’re mentally stable.

LillyPip, to lemmyshitpost in How I cannot be worry??

Do you have a problem? Yes, I don’t have enough money for bills + food.

Can you do something about it? No, I’m on a fixed income.

Then don’t worry. Uh…

LillyPip, to memes in Why can't we get our shit together?

German and US capitalism aren’t remotely the same thing. Like ‘it doesn’t even seem fair to use the same word’ different.

Rat?! You rodentiphobe shrew!

Every sign has a story. I’d love to know this one, and is it working?

LillyPip, to memes in Pushovers

Kinky.

Medicare is hugely broken and barely works even for those who are eligible. You still need to get private insurance (called gap insurance) for many, many things.

When I had to switch from BCN to Medicare after I became fully disabled, one of my prescriptions went from $200 a month to $3500, and I started getting denied for routine tests. I was denied a heart cath my cardiologist ordered. I’ve had to stop 4 of my prescriptions because of cost, which of course has made me even more sick.

Even in some utopian daydream, that’s nowhere near ‘universal healthcare’, and expanding that broken system is not a solution.

eta: The US needs actual universal healthcare that’s not inexorably tied to privatisation.

LillyPip, to memes in Why can't we get our shit together?

Most healthcare in the US is privatised. It’s completely based on capitalism, and once you give the dragon your gold, good luck getting it back.

LillyPip, to memes in How to start the day off strong

Yep, you’re right.

LillyPip, (edited ) to asklemmy in When/how do you think capitalism will be defeated?

I think society will collapse first, likely due to mass displacement and migration due to climate disasters which will make more people willing to accept fascism.
