No, it’s absolutely correct as you broaden it to consider the average adult costs vs the average child.
The real reason you see this is that your employer gets a SUBSTANTIAL subsidy for YOUR insurance via a payroll tax credit. They do not get this for your spouse, so you see the true cost for them.


Gonna be donated to the dumpster out back, more like.


Hell no, people can finally spell it.


Uh huh. Sure. Just like Epstein. We all believe you, just another convenient coincidence…


This is what they’re willing to fight to the death for.
Not indefinite extrajudicial detentions of American citizens. Not targeted legal persecution of political enemies. Not using military resources and drones on fishing boats. Not heavy handed censorship and retaliation on critical speech.
But try to gut the subsidies keeping private insurance solvent and propping up the Ponzi scheme we call a healthcare system, well that’s just a bridge too far.
They can find their spine when something they care about is under threat. They just don’t care about us.


And then not release a single game built for or exclusive to it until 2035. Hard pass.


I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for this. I’ve SEEN real tankies, doing odd things like cheering for BRICS to rise up or Russia to defeat NATO in Ukraine because late stage capitalist oligarchy counts as communism if it’s Russian or something, I don’t know?
But the VAST majority of the time I see it used is by neoliberals as an excuse to dismiss literally anyone anywhere on the actual political left out of hand.


While this is true, I don’t think it matters - the ship combat is so undemanding that optimization is barely noticeable past an extremely minimal point. You’re just going to vaporize everything immediately anyway.


Came here to post The Thing. Glad someone beat me to it.


So the most intelligent, thoughtful, empathetic person on the planet is now President? The entire government is filled with caring, diligent, honest people?
Finally some good luck. I’ll probably be fine, figuring my own shit out won’t be too bad.


I’m sure he was flattered.


Yeah, imagine having a real, functioning government.
Must be nice. As an American millennial, sadly not something I ever really got to experience.


I don’t know, I have a damn hard time stopping to show this much consideration for those who have repeatedly proved they would never bother to do the same for me or mine.
Got burned alive for being a sadistic corrupt fascist living in luxury while the people starved? Sucks to suck, maybe the next one will think twice.


Fascists get what fascists earn.


I think that apparently capitalists won’t be happy until the literal entirety of 1984 is brought into being and every final vestige of joy is driven out of life.
And I say that as someone who mostly likes things like Impossible burgers.


I fucking need this T-shirt…
[Edit] Well hot damn, sometimes the Internet delivers!
I hated this, too for…tangential reasons. Bad things don’t just happen, see, they happen because the protagonist, the antagonists, and basically everyone in the entire book the author bother to give a name takes every available opportunity to fumble around and fuck things up.
If you’ve ever heard of “competence porn”, just imagine the exact opposite and you pretty much get the gist.
