Didn't California recently also pass a Public Option for healthcare, aiming for full coverage of Californians in general?
Great steps in the right direction.
I mean, this amounts to that, since by definition, an undocumented immigrant has no documentation. So anyone in California now has access (assuming they didn't already, I don't know) to the state insurance plan by claiming to be an undocumented immigrant when they go to the doctor.
Great step for what? Mental healthcare in the state is horrible. Can't care for its own citizens but here we are.
Speaking with some authority here as I am guardian of a mentally ill family member. California vs Texas both are equally shitty when it comes to dealing with crazy. Housing is part of the major problem and no one dare fucking tackle that.
Fuck Newsome soundbite cowboy ways.
Must be very recent because I was without insurance due to cost back when I lived in california just a few months ago. Moved to china for obvious reasons
Because you like living under authoritarian regimes?
Do you just repeat CIA propaganda without giving it any second thought? It's actually a nice place to live.
It isn't CIA propaganda. They quite literally welded people into their houses during COVID, there's video of them doing it. They then absolutely decimated Hong Kong, making countless protestors disappear. There's obviously the whole situation where they use mass slave labor of the Uyghur Muslims. There's the constant lies the CCP spews that are demonstrably false (we're talking North Korea levels of laughable propaganda). There's their blatant theft of intellectual property with government support along with the global corporate espionage. There's the horrible working conditions, with companies needing suicide nets around the buildings to prevent workers from jumping. There's the laughable safety issues with various engineering projects that when they fail are swept under the rug. The list goes on and on. China has an interesting and impressive history, but China under the CCP is absolute dog shit.
Dude people in Hong Kong used to be living in closets. It was awful. Now that mainland china has had some influence it's greatly improved
Are we still on about this when it's been long disproven?
Funny to hear that coming from a capitalist apologist
Literally citing a legal fiction as if it's some sort of atrocity that everyone would agree on.
I almost killed myself in America and those thoughts went away when I moved to China. Turns out when your life isn't shit you don't want to kill yourself
Remember that time a train derailed in Ohio? Oh right, y'all's "free press" was too focused on the Chinese spy balloon hoax to give any airtime to it
Yeah, lemme know what you think when you get opinions from sources that aren't funded directly by congress's anti-china propaganda fund that y'all openly create
Wow, they already did a number on you. Sad.
Tell that to the hordes of homeless people in San Francisco. I almost killed myself when I lived there
I’m so sorry for your poor choices.
Oh yeah, living in America for any longer than I had to was probably the worst choice I ever made
Hope you aren't a Uighur or a Tibetan.
Nah, but I'm visibly queer. And it hasn't been a problem
So you think 'Uighur' and 'Tibetan' are secret Lemmy code words for non-CisHet?
No, I just think that you think that anybody who isn't cishet han in China has it just as bad as anybody who isn't cishet white in America
When did I even imply that? What on Earth does being queer have to do with what I said?
Oh btw, just found this news on Xinjiang's "forced labor". It always goes the same:
Because the admission that they're wrong is always buried, people who still believe the lie are plentiful as fuck and finding the confession is a pain in the ass.
I personally know an Uyghur guy who can't get a job at any international companies because the international companies are afraid of the forced labor allegations
This is like saying "hope you're not a Jew" if you live in Nazi Germany and you telling me that you're a blacksmith so you're fine in Nazi Germany.
Believe it or not, being a blacksmith has nothing to do with being a Jew and being queer has nothing to do with being Tibetan.
Lmao so stupid. You believe there's a "genocide" because you saw a news article once. What was it's source? Another news article. Keep following to try to find the original source and the whole thing loops back on itself like a fucking Mobius strip. Any actual evidence? The birth rate is declining, just like it is everywhere else in the world because birth rate is inversely correlated with prosperity. Also some out of context footage with mistranslated subtitles.
Please quote me using the word genocide or explain why you want me to give a source for something I didn't say.
Or is this another irrelevancy to avoid addressing what I actually said like the whole queer thing?
lmao what a take
So I never actually did. Got it. Are you ever going to address anything I do say to you?
Not a single reply you have made to me has made a lick of sense. Including that one.
But you sure do seem agitated that I said I hoped you weren't a Uighur or a Tibetan considering how far you've gone to avoid even mentioning either of those two words as if they had never been written.
Once again, you sure do seem agitated that I said I hoped you weren’t a Uighur or a Tibetan.
Ok, let me fucking spell this out for you.
I talk about how much better life is in China than in the US
You mention those two races
I mention they don't apply to me and go back to talking about my personal experience in China, and how it is evidence that China isn't as bad as the west thinks
You fucking hyperfocus on minutea rather than what it's actually fucking like to live here.
Of course I'm agitated.
You never said they didn't apply to you. Not to me anyway.
bruh
Why on Earth do you think I would click on a YouTube link you sent me unsolicited?
Putting words in my mouth is not going to get me to watch your childish Rickroll or whatever it is.
Care to address the fact that you never told me those didn't apply to you?
I did, it was one of the first things I said, and you're a fucking liar and nobody should take anything you say seriously
Interesting how you've spent post after post putting words into my mouth and now you're calling me a liar.
Sorry, that still won't get me to click on your Rickroll.
Lying again
Are you really going to pretend you weren't putting words in my mouth just a few comments ago?
Are you going to claim this is a photoshop job?
