@ExileGrimm Heaps of fraud in Medicare, but it’s Rick Scott, not benefit recipients

RT @jsnbase: Guys, they're Nazis. They're just regular ol' Nazis. Don't feel bad for calling them Nazis, they're not actually offended.

@qhxj28ny94 @MarkAmesExiled Love the strawmanning. You think this one man is singularly an expert in every area of public policy? You think he’s not twisting things for his own personal gain, like he’s done his entire life? Get real

@qhxj28ny94 @MarkAmesExiled lol there’s the dickriding again. have fun buddy, you got what you wanted. it’ll come for you or someone you care about soon enough

@qhxj28ny94 @MarkAmesExiled Yeah dude, there’s lots. Never said there weren’t problems. That doesn’t mean these idiots are fixing things. How does gutting the CFPB or DoE help people? They enacting a libertarian wet dream, not eliminating waste. If they wanted to, they’d start with the pentagon.

@qhxj28ny94 @MarkAmesExiled lol what am I making up? Hold yourself to your own standard, loser. What makes Musk and Co qualified?

@qhxj28ny94 @MarkAmesExiled How? He’s trying to cut the CFPB. It hardly costs anything and protects average people from getting fucked over by financial institutions. Musk is trying to turn X into a payment app and falls under their regulations. Direct conflict of interest, you dickriding clown

@qhxj28ny94 @MarkAmesExiled Bureaucrats or not, they tend to have relevant experience and context in the area in which they work. They’re not all buffoons. Musk and team don’t and are making cuts arbitrarily and capriciously. Not to mention attempting to kill regulations that affect his private businesses

@joshgondelman I live next to a Walgreens in Brooklyn where everything is locked up (when it’s even in stock). Two doors down is a family-owned pharmacy, with fully stocked shelves, nothing under lock and key. The family one is a touch pricier, but holy shit is the experience miles better

@TravelsCharlie @CyberBepis Zuckerberg & Meta attempted to launch a cryptocurrency. Why wouldn't the agency in charge of protecting consumers from financial scams want to take a look at that. Zuck is playing the victim, and you're falling for it
