When I saw this, it reminded me of the old SNL bit on Weekend Update, Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation With at a Party
As they say in the South, that woman is drunk as a skunk.
Um, yeeeeeeep
My guess is that this is the first step in them pushing drugs over OT, even though OT is cheap, effective, and necessary because it gets seniors moving and doing regular exercise. OT and other therapies like this have been shown to be incredibly effective at helping old people stay independent for longer because they work on things like balance which is tougher as you get older. I'm thinking that CMS made the cuts so they can set aside money for higher and higher cost injectable rx--like these new oncology drugs where each injection cost 5 figures or the drugs for rheumatic conditions which are also 5 figures per injectable, or hey, even just them trying to combat the rising cost of insulin. I just drives me crazy. These are the least expensive settings for seniors to be in. They are excellent for prevention of falls which is a huge thing for older people because one fall could make the difference between independence and life in a care facility--which costs a ton of money. This is the wrong thing to cut. The science behind these preventative services are sound, but we aren't operating on logic any more.

I'm not a fan of Republicans, honestly, I'm not a fan of Dems either a lot of times, but how do Republicans let this insanity continue? They have mouth pieces literally telling them not to vote in GA, I mean, yes, keep telling them that, but what the actual F**K is the Republican Party's logic here? I mean I understand they're trying to circumvent the voice of the people and get the EC reversed on a state by state level, but it's not going to happen.............then what?

I had two thoughts while watching this. If liberals want to get people to listen to them they need to get people that their target audience can identify with.
the second thought, I have never given to a political campaign. If people are looking for a return on their investment why do they give money to political campaigns. Only until recently have I even thought about giving, but I just don’t do it.

Yep, I’ve seen his videos here before.
Well investing in political campaigns is well known to get a huge return on investment, provided you're rich enough and the donation is big enough for them to notice....
For the likes of us its a fools errand, id only donate if it was someone I really wanted to support.
Oh great, more new and wonderful ways that Gen X and Millenials are going to get screwed--covid depleted social security trust fund.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects that in the aftermath of the pandemic, the trust fund will deplete its $2.8 trillion reserve over the next decade unless changes are made. Inaction would lead to cuts of 20 percent or more to benefits starting in 2031.
The decreased revenue stream stems in large part from the millions of lost jobs during the pandemic, which has led to fewer people and employers paying into the trust fund. That drop, paired with a scaling back of hours at remaining jobs, has been the biggest blow to the long-term outlook for Social Security, according to a report from the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC).
But COVID-19 has impacted the fund in several other ways. The recession has prompted older workers to retire earlier than they previously expected, meaning they’re drawing down funds instead of contributing to them. Also, low interest rates mean smaller yields for the bonds held by the Social Security funds.
Provisions in the record $2.2 trillion CARES Act passed in March let more people dip into their retirement savings funds sooner without penalty, raising concerns among experts that many Americans in the long run will be more reliant on Social Security.

Yes, this is my Dad's version of socialism at work. He voted Trump because Biden will rob him of his retirement he worked so hard for. Basically, fuck all the future saps, I'm getting mine.Oh great, more new and wonderful ways that Gen X and Millenials are going to get screwed--covid depleted social security trust fund.

Pro-Trump legal crusade peppered with bizarre blunders
Spelling errors, misplaced states and client mix-ups are the main results so far of Sidney Powell's legal efforts to overturn the election.
