          Americans, forever incapable of imagining solutions above the level of individual behavior (though at a certain point one suspects you’ll fall back on any talking points that allow you to avoid actually doing something).

          70 will hit you faster than you think- if you want to be considered an invalid at that age, be my guest.

                  Could start with another Brian Thompson.

                  We’re talking here about someone who has already given up. He could do nothing, or he could move the needle a bit.

                  You know what isn’t going to help him? Waiting for you to get off your able-bodied ass.

                  “Smug European” - this is cute. It’s like you don’t even clock how MAGA-adjacent you are.

              The one just north that’s been telling you for 30 years to get your house in order. ‘What country are you from?’ bullshit is clown-ass deflection from comfortable white liberals. We’ve been telling you for decades you were on this path, you refused to fix it, got belligerent, and renamed french fries in response, NEVER changed your tactics while the far right continually escalated, and now your failure is spilling across borders and becoming everybody else’s problem. You don’t get to export your Nazis and then suddenly discover nationalism when somebody outside your borders points out that your self-satisfied, shitty inaction is responsible. Keep sitting on your ass, you pants-pissing coward, while 30% of your country “jokes” about annexing mine. Fuck you.

            That’s disgusting.

            Kirk was a racist asshole and we don’t need to feel bad for him to say it was shitty of you to post this.

              Every Charlie Kirk moves the needle.

              Every piece of MAGA trash needs to think twice about opening their mouth or stepping out in public.

                  Nobody gives a shit about Kirk anymore. I’m honestly surprised how little anyone cared a week later.

                  More Charlie Kirks every day, please.

                True. But those who own you, you cannot just shoot as you will never ever even get in their rough vicinity. And those matter, not the legions of dumb kirks.

        What are you going to do with your guns? The army and police doesn’t have better guns, vehicles, high tech surveillance gear, AND the law on their side?

        You can’t do shit even with your guns. You can protect your family and that’s what they are for.

          This bullshit argument has been shut down every time it’s been leveled, and always results in a page full of moderator-deleted comments.

    Long- and short-term disability need regulation. Companies cut funding to their own employees at times when it hurts the most while also throwing them to the health insurance vultures.

    It sends the message fuck you, find your own way or die.

        Murica, the ultra rich making anything related to the welfare of others “communism”

        Basically 100 years of social engineering to convince 50% of the country that any that benefits them is evil and wrong

          The funny part is that the second you actually need disability coverage, the companies are all too happy to throw you over to the government for that as fast as they can.

    No vitals for 10 minutes doesn’t make sense

    1. Anyone without vitals for 10 minutes would he dead

    2. They should have still had vitals with a heart attack

      That’s not the case.

      1. people round numbers. In a casual setting 8 minutes and 10 minutes are the same.
      2. 10 minutes without detectable vital signs is survivable, albeit extremely serious.
      3. If you have sudden cardiac arrest and get CPR from a random bystander you have a 20% chance of surviving to leave the hospital. The sooner a defibrillator can restart the heart the better.
      4. I’m not sure why you say they should have still had vitals with a heart attack. Most heart attacks don’t leave you with none, but it’s not all by any means. Lack of blood flow to the heart can easily cause it to stop beating.

      Ultimately though, the part that matters is that the part you found implausible was the medical details, not that someone would go back to work shortly after a severe emergency while still concerned about their own sudden death because they can’t afford to recover.

        Random bystanders are way too concerned about breaking ribs.

        If you see me on the ground with no heartbeat, break my fucking ribs when you do that shit. If you don’t hear them snap, you aren’t trying hard enough.

          Fun fact: people are often hesitant or uncomfortable to do effective AED and CPR on peeps with breasts because they either weren’t taught about it or are too embarrassed. Get out my tits if I’m buying the farm. I’d rather my girls get exposed than fucking die.

          For the curious: It’s ok if you end up touching breast tissue when performing CPR. It happens, especially for those with large breasts.

          When using an AED you need to expose the chest and remove/cut off the bra to get the pads placed correctly, to avoid arcing with an underwire, and to get gel on the skin under the pads.
