"Let them eat less cake"
To bad americans don't have balls like the French.
Worried about medicaid cuts? Just stop getting/being sick, duh!
It's really that simple!
Need infinite power?
Big electric doesnt want you to know this simple trick
Me is very smort

Alternatively, you could stop being so poor. Simple as that!
you can buy your 5th house to rent and draw from your multimillionaire trust fund.
You can also borrow 100 million, build some commercial properties, and lease them to tenants.
Alternatively, you should try being a velociraptor. I hear they don't get sick nearly as often as humans.
When was the last time you saw a velociraptor coughing from pneumonia? Never. How about a velociraptor with depression, anxiety, cancer or heart disease? Yeah, never seen any of that either. Those guys just handle it like it's nothing.
We have never not needed these.
We just forgot that they are required.
I'm sure the French could give us some pointers though.
We should just start building guillotines and placing them in town squares. Just as, like, a message.
I got banned from the r-place for saying something like this.
Carry on.
Some of the lemmy.world moderators come down hard on "calling for violence". It's kind of an eye roller
Job market is tough right now. Gotta advertise those carpentry skills!
Geez, talk about out of touch with the average Joe.
No man, Yesterday I only didn't eat 3 cakes and I was able to run a 12 mile drive to work... In my car! The other weekend I didn't eat a wedding cake and that cured my diabetes that In didn't even have!
Let them eat less cake!
This is the whole crux of MAHA. Make health a completely personal choice by denying any external causes of disease and then when you completely cut any possible health assistance then that's fine because health is a completely personal choice and responsibility and people should just try harder to he healthy
Didn't forget the part where you get to blame people for their own illness! Being sick now becomes a moral failing because you didn't do enough to stay healthy.
Being sick now becomes a moral failing because you didn't do enough to stay healthy
But if you do try to stay healthy (e.g. wearing a mask and social distancing during cold and flu season) you're a $insult_of_the_week
It's "prosperity gospel" but for health instead of wealth. I'm healthy because I'm a good person and you're not because you're a bad person. It's literally the same talking points too. Point at the minority of folks in a demographic who actually make genuinely bad decisions and apply that to the group as a whole.
Mary Antionette: "Let them eat cake."
"Dr." Oz: "Let them stop eating cake."
Funnily enough, just had an exchange with someone here about doctors needing to always be empathetic towards their patients so they can't say "get fucked, fascists" and such.
Dr. Oz is a still practicing (to maintain his license) cardiovascular surgeon.
he needs to upkeep the image that he can sell snakesoil to the plebs. its the same thing "llmd" for the fake disease "chronic lyme" sells pseduoscience to patients, they are even more dangerous oz.
J'ai des rêves de expulser toute l'administration tout de suite

Eat less cake, peasants.
I know many red states have been trying to defend Republican Medicaid cuts by blaming residents for being unhealthy.
"We tried to give you healthcare, but it wasn't sustainable bc y'all just don't know how to take care of yourselves."
The cost being unsustainable is pure bullshit anyway, but even if that were true, the idea that when looking at the cost of covering healthcare in the United States, their go to argument for why it's so expensive, places the blame on the patients for needing healthcare.
As if nobody has ever pointed out side by side bills comparing the cost of the same hospital stays in the U.S. vs just about any other county.
Peak authoritarian government acting like a narcissistic parent and gaslighting America into believing the reason they can't take care of their kids is bc the kids are at fault. Not bc they just suck as a parent and shouldn't have kids if they can't take care of them.
And the rich part is that if they wanted to go down the route of "healthcare is expensive because America is overall unhealthy" that's "fine". As the folks in charge do something about it?
Invest in better education on the importance of proper diet and exercise. Invest in providing cheaper and more readily available whole foods. Subsidized or provide classes that teach people how to actually cook. Do the things that would actually help "make America healthy again" instead of worrying about fucking food dyes and weather or not a trans person is getting healthcare.
If they did that while spouting that kinda bullshit at least they would be intellectually consistent, but they don't and that's how you know they're full of shit.
Modern "Let them eat cake."
These people are so fucking out of touch.
This is somehow worse, the "let them eat cake" was said from a very out of touch person who just did not understand. While this is comming from someone who willingly is going out of their way to blame the peasants for the actions that they are doing to those same peasants.
He is completely wrong, while being right too. Americans could benefit from a better diet.
Maybe the American government could provide proper health care and not support junk food industry.
He is completely wrong, while being right too. Americans could benefit from a better diet.
Yes. Let's actually put some reigns on the food industry, sugar in bread is not normal. Also walkable places that have public transport, but the Auto and Food industries have the Government of America by the short and curlies.
the Auto and Food industries have the Government of America by the ~~short and curlies.~~ wallet.
Americans could benefit from a better diet.
Sadly, yes, living a healthier lifestyle is going to be a person's best option in the wake of health care being even more enshittified.
Hard to do in a nation where there are food deserts, gym memberships a luxury, and the nearest health care provider is upwards of 50 miles away.
This, to me, stinks of the same garbage people are fed about recycling, when we all know that it's the billionaire class and their institutional, astronomical waste and energy usage that is the real problem, not individuals tossing out the dozen soda cans they drink in a week.
In my opinion this is why unhealthy foods should be taxed to all fuck and back. Don't want to spend money on healthcare, tax what's making people unhealthy. Then with that extra dosh maybe you could fund healthcare a little more. Unfortunately there is no population on earth who'd accept their luxuries being taxed like that.
yeah taking out the grain subsidies and moving them over to fruit and veg based on lowness of sugar content and highness of fiber and nutrient content. That might be something to do.
I get what you're going for here, but the lowness of sugar isn't really all that important if we're talking whole fruits.
Mangos for example would be considered high in sugar, but I would argue they shouldn't be discriminated against in comparison to something like an apple. Mangos are also quite filling compared to something like a candy or juice of similar calorie content just like other lower calories fruits such as apples or strawberries.
Potatoes and other starchy vegetables could potentially get a bad wrap too for similar reasons.
people arnt eating cake 24/7, hes just being extremely ignorant out of touch like the rest of the gop, and he ons the grif ttoo.
"Let them not eat cake!"
I would try cannibalism and eat this man. I think human skin is close enough to pig skin to for us to harvest MAGA bacon.
I can say confidently there isn't a person in this administration I would eat. with the rampant drug use and sex trafficking I don't even want to look at their diseased riddled bodies.
bobby brainworms is all worms. noem is all plastic, plus blondie and levitt. and oz? does he consume his own snakesoil.
I think he'd get along great with my old dentist. The guy gave me a bad crown, then when I complained about it, it was "eat less chocolate" and "you just need to floss more."
