    Well said. We don’t have control over a lot of things but we do have some control over how we respond to our emotions. Finding peace amidst the chaos is not easy. Creating peace from chaos is even harder.

    Helping others find peace might not be pacifism. I don’t know what you’d call it. I dont really care what you call it. But I do know that often the catalysts of change are not the most downtrodden, but rather those who have been empowered to effect change. Thus, change begins by overcoming yourself.

    Anger is a poor long-term motivator. What we are looking for is, indeed, resolve.







  • Oh shit Zero just linked a dictionary, I am ruined! But sorry, no. One is not “ignorant” in a vacuum. One must always be ignorant TO something. There’s always so much we don’t know. Apparently you haven’t figured that out yet. Or maybe you have, Zero the All-Knowing. Why else would you be throwing so much shade to people who don’t know random bullshit about your own proximity? Anyway, bye forever, Star of the Universe.







  • Damn. That’s gonna be really hard to get to in the US. Several steps at least. I’m guessing the next step that we can work for is just guaranteeing universal coverage. But there’s gonna be bloody battles over just removing an entire industry from the US market in our lifetime. So I guess this problem is here to stay, even if we’re lucky enough to get guaranteed coverage regardless of employment.

    Can someone explain how universal healthcare would solve this issue? It seems like an additional problem beyond the fact that prices are gouged based on insurance that not everyone has. On top of that bullshit, insurance does this stuff. What about universal health care, if implemented tomorrow in the US, would make it different?

    (Side note: I love how I get all these downvotes for trying to learn more! What a fucking asshole, right? Yall are too used to trolls, grow up and humble yourselves. Learn to distinguish asking about how barriers work from advocating for those barriers to stay. Jesus fucking christ some of you are so much dumber than you realize you are.)
