I realize this is advice not everyone can use, but I keep throwing it out there just in case someone can. If you’re in the US and struggling, but able to move states, Ohio practically saved my life. Expanded Medicaid paid all of my doctor’s bills until I got SSI, and now the MPAP program pays my partner’s Medicare fees. PIPP keeps the electricity and gas at 6% of our income each. Property is affordable in a lot of areas because it’s economically depressed, and jobs are scarce. We used the covid stimulus as a down payment on an FHA mortgage on a legitimately decent 5 bed 3 bath house, for $345 a month.
In California we’d be living in our car.
Okay, if The Donald is welcome here, and people are just coping by blocking, how about r/watchpeopledie?
Personally I detest Drumph and his Nascar possum farmer fans, but I loved seeing people eaten by escalators. If Lemmy’s cool with the one, I’m recreating the other. I mean why not.
I’d happily live without the joy of gore, if it meant that flat earthers and conspiracy theorists weren’t welcome either. But if the one is fine, then the other should be too.
