Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Please just make society good instead of bad, why is this so difficult? Universal healthcare, please!

jokermala brandon obama hillary good-morning

Sorry, we can't right now, there's too many obstacles! Maybe if you donate n+1 to ActBlue and we get n+1 senate seats in the midterm!

I'm pissed that Joe Biden dropped out of the race

he said he was gonna codify Roe v. Wade and build in other heathcare protections if he got re-elected to the position he was in at the time and is still in now

hopefully if we subscribe to Kamala for 24 months in a row we can get a free NatureBox

Buddy, then investors in health care companies would have to realize some of that "risk" they keep blabbering about. It would make them sad!

Because that requires paying money, not keeping money. We can't have that...

Normal country where you have to become a world class athlete just for the chance to get routine medical examinations

I think Coca Cola & Samsung paid for health care for elites.

I don’t think this is communism.

To any USians who need glasses: buy them online if you don't already. If you know your prescription then you can get a pair of glasses for like twenty bucks on whichever website, without health insurance.

Also, Transitions™️ lenses are a brand. You can get generic photochromic lenses for a fraction of the price that work just as well.

US is the 3rd world country

I wish. If it was, it would trade with both capitalist and communist countries, playing them off each other, putting the pressure on both to be on their best behavior.

No, this is the first world, reaping what it's sown.
