It takes a special level of buffoonery to say people were happier in the 50s. This totally disregards the experience of black people. The only people who were happier in the 50s were white people. If you can’t see that because you choose not to see things “through a lens of race”, it means you’re totally disconnected from your own identity. It’s not a flex. Unless you think only white people are humans. Therefore when assessing happiness only their happiness counts.

If we make American great again to be like the 50s, you will not be part of the prosperous class. You’re going back to fighting for civil rights. I can’t believe we’re having this conversation in 2025. A group of black men who want to go back to the times before they had the right to vote.

I’m nauseated 🤢

The 15th Amendment to the Constitution removed racial barriers to voting in 1870, but states continued to practice voter discrimination and continued to deny Black voters a chance to participate in elections.

The right to vote was extended to white women in 1920.

It wasn't until 1965, after years of intimidation, murders, and advocacy that the path to the voting booth was cleared for Black people with the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965.

THE RIGHT TO VOTE, REGARDLESS OF RACE

Just eight days after Martin Luther King, Jr. led a peaceful civil rights march in Selma, Alabama, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced his intention to pass a federal Voting Rights Act to ensure that no federal, state, or local government could in any way impede people from voting because of their race or ethnicity. He signed the Voting Rights Act into law later that year, banning racial discriminatory practices in voting, including literacy tests.

Bemeruca even argued that the 50's were the best time for the US or he might have even said the World.
Make American Great Again right?

🤦🏽‍♀️ the 50s?

Anne Applebaum is a great writer. Thorough yet Concise.

"This autocratic takeover is precisely what Bannon, Roberts, and others admire, and are indeed seeking to carry out in the U.S. right now. The destruction of the civil service is already under way, pressure on the press and universities has begun, and thoughts of changing the Constitution are in the air. But proponents of these ideas rarely talk about what happened to the Hungarian economy, and to ordinary Hungarians, after they were implemented there. Nor do they explore the contradictions between Orbán’s rhetoric and the reality of his policies. Orbán talks a lot about blocking immigration, for example, but at one point his government issued visas to any non-EU citizen who bought 300,000 euros’ worth of government bonds from mysterious and mostly offshore companies," writes Anne Applebaum.

If I were a man nothing would have stopped me from being a Nigerian pastor. It’s such easy money. Those of you who’ve joined them are wasting your male talent.

No wahala, when una don arrange una house drive those MAGA idiots out I go come join una because I still get the ambition to study Law for the United States. Amen. For now make I dey look una country dey observe.

May God strengthen you all, good will always prevail over evil.

Imagine a bright young woman like you applying to study law here and then Trump decides they can’t give you visa because you criticized his govt on social media. As if he alone the entirety of the American people. The revered king who can’t be criticized.

When in American history has that ever been a thing?
We’re truly in the mud now. An international joke.

Saga16:
They'll never learn.

What we've learnt from the Trump experience is that there must have been many Africans in 1942, holding their AM/FM radios 📻, supporting Hitler.

This experience has been truly eye opening for me.

If we didn’t have the social media and forums to document the behavior and reactions, no one would believe us in the future when this story is told.

Crazy times

“But he’s only targeting illegal immigrants”

🙄🙄😒😒

IjeBos:
Your comprehension seems shoddy just like your values.
Maybe find a Israeli thread to express you joy at them "winning" as they genocide an entire population and use Trump's government to stamp out dissent and instill fear in the US immigrant population.
While you are at it, figure out what you "win".
Try trolling somewhere else.

Apparently if you’re not celebrating the death of children in Gaza like a soulless ghoul, you’re antisemitic.
But they’re cheering Elon while he’s doing the Hitler salute. Make it make sense.

Ms. Rachel, the beloved children's educator and YouTuber, is under attack for supporting children in Gaza.
The pro-Israel group StopAntisemitism penned a letter to
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to investigate Rachel Griffin Accurso for being "a mouthpiece for Hamas." The organization's accusations include Ms. Rachel citing internationally recognized statistics, referring to legitimate photos of starving Palestinian children and posting disproportionately about children in Gaza as compared to Israeli children.
Ms. Rachel, who recently welcomed her second child, has yet to respond publicly to the accusations. But it's not the first time she's been attacked for decrying the suffering of Palestinian children in Gaza.
Despite StopAntisemitism's claims, Ms. Rachel has said that she cares about all children - "Palestinian children, Israeli children, children in the U.S. - Muslim, Jewish, Christian children — all children, in every country."

Just very very lucky,

Grand larceny by the commander in thief

We’re not leaving our country for them. That’s what they want. It won’t work. I personally moved for necessity but I still keep my California job and fly back and forth as needed.No fear of the orange man.

If we all leave they win. That’s the real win for them.

No fear my lady 😘

I only feel sorry for the 75 million people who voted for Kamala. The 77 million idiots and over 50 million goats who sat out deserve whatever they get.
If anyone who voted for Kamala can get out they should. It's not going to get better anytime soon.

Someone said he’s punishing the country for rejecting him in 2020. That Tracks

AmazonTopaz:
So the tariff 90 day pause was a lie. He posted on truth social about buying the dip before announcing it then reversed course.

Amelika Plesidentttt dey do insider trading.
Why am I not surprised it turns out that when you elect a criminal crimes happen.

What a global embarrassment. When this slowpoke is done I don't think America will have the credibility to ever caution any foreign leader again. The damage will be for decades.

raumdeuter:
About 12yrs ago, Kaiser used to be great in Southern California especially in San Diego, Escondido area. I am talking from a patient POV, not a provider

I think they’re still great to patients.

From a staff perspective they could be better because they pay less than Northern California market. But San Diego is so expensive. The union over there didn’t succeed in getting them market competitive rates compared to NorCal. So their staff typical don’t express the same satisfaction as their NorCal counterparts

We learn everyday.

Never knew they are in the UK too.

Ibime:
Yeah, they are one of the big providers in UK and their reputation over here is the best among the Private providers. UK is their only venture abroad, though we had some legal setups in Ireland and Luxembourg for tax reasons. UK is about £1 bln yearly revenue and USA about $60 bln yearly. It could be that they are more gungho in USA, certainly our bosses in Nashville were more aggressive if we missed targets than you would expect from an Englishman in a Corporate environment.

Ibime another thing you have to consider with healthcare systems is that depending on who’s heading the regional market, the experience of the employee is going to be vastly different. When I lived in Seattle, Kaiser was the devil according to some nurses and patients. I was a new grad then and I worked for a different system that I loved until they got acquired by another big corporation and everything turned on its head.

Fast forward to years later after goin back and forth to different places I was in California and Kaiser was the angel because they’re in a different regional market. Even almighty Stanford only came second to Kaiser in my region.

But 8 hours down the road to Southern California and Kaiser systems over there didn’t measure up to Kaiser systems in Northern California. It’s all the same corporation but different unions based on the region. Hence staff experience varied.

I guess my point is HCA UK might be great and that could cloud your judgement about what American nurses have to say about HCA here. But consistently they all say they hate it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

descarado:
Speechless.
And his pric came alive

death sentence

Ibime:
This survey was done during Covid. Show me a survey of nurses during COVID that won't show stress when they were all falling out sick at zero moments notice. During COVID, I was almost fully working Supply Chain, that's how bad things were. Army were seizing our inventories sef to divert to NHS, you gast dey go beg Army to release your stock almost every day.

HCA complaints precede COVID.

We have forums for rating places we work so that other colleagues can proceed with caution. No one has anything to say about nice HCA in America.

I don’t know anything about the UK healthcare system so they might be great over there. I didn’t even realize they are there too. Your post is the first I’m hearing of it .

Ibime:
I don't agree with this. Have you worked for HCA or are you going off media reports? I worked in finance for HCA for over 12 years overseeing 7 Hospitals in my regions. As far as the UK is concerned, HCA have the best nurse to patient ratio with 3:1 daytime and 4:1 at night for Acute medical patients (mostly cancer) and 5:1 for surgical patients compared to NHS where you can see 8:1 to even 10:1 for Surgical patients. I believe the same ratios apply in the US but cannot say with certainty. HCA ratios better Circle, Spire, Ramsay and Nuffield in the UK which were our main competitors.

I don’t know what the UK system is like but HCA is the devil in American healthcare circles. Never met a nurse who worked for them in America that had anything good to say. It is possible that other non-patient facing roles won’t have same complaints working for them because they’re not the ones bearing the brunt of low staffing issues.

However those two were just examples. And all of this is alleged because I don’t have money for lawsuit. The fear of HCA is the beginning of wisdom.😫

America didn’t become a laughingstock until a 34 time felon got into the White House.

He is fighting for his personal wealth and to stay out of prison for his crimes.

He doesn’t care about anyone
Not the elderly
The poor
The average middle class citizen.
The sick
The veterans
He would sell us all if he’s promised he can turn a profit.

The party that consistently votes against affordable healthcare, livable wages, paid parental leave, safety regulations, unions and labor protections etc are the republicans. That’s the definition of hating Americans in my opinion. You can easily search up who proposed what bills and who voted against them.

A truth social tweet is not proof of love without meaningful action to back it up.

descarado:
Some people here know the drill but their problem is that the one championing it is the orange man. Democrats really really hate America cos this should be a welcoming and exciting news that your president is fighting for u.

They have reduced America to laughing stock.

After 90 days he’ll give you another excuse why it won’t happen. Meanwhile he’s crashed the market and cost millions their retirement. While him and his billionaire cronies make away like bandits.

Sure. The world noticed that America can act indecisively and chaotically under a man child president

Whatever you have to tell yourselves to come to terms with your support for this wild circus in the white house is fine by me.

I ain’t gon hold ya.

raumdeuter:
American jobs will not come in 5 days, Its a 90 day pause to give room for negotiations before the resume while the country that flouts trade rules the most China still remains under the tariffs

Now the world will notice that America can actually act and the do nothing Democrats are no longer in power

raumdeuter:
This is why capitalism encourages competition so another Healthcare system can come and do what HCA is failing to do, win more people to their side and if HCA does not change, they die off

Anyway tariffs paused. I guess American jobs stopped being a priority after 5 days.
My head is spinning from the chaos and inconsistency.

Maeve7:
Maybe a change of perspective can help you. He is consistent in his madness.

Exactly. Consistently chaotic

Maeve7:
And the products are even cheaper.

he’s giving me vertigo with the inconsistency 🫨

AmazonTopaz:
I just need red states hit the hardest in all of these. I have no sympathies left for anyone who enabled this madness. May everyone of them suffer under this man. His supporters home and abroad. Amen.

If wishes were horses I’d wish for everyone who voted for him to be in their own section of the country and implement the policies he wants

While non trump supporters will be in our own section and live under Kamala policies. Let’s see who cries and who thrives

He’s nothing if not a stone cold liar

The manufacturing jobs have magically appeared after a few days of tariffing

Xisnin:
Fake 75 countries.
Every sane person knows that he is lying through his teeth.
The childish man claimed they were begging him on their knees, yet he couldn't name one of them who did.

Why will he pause the tariffs that was designed to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the US?
Is he tired of winning?

armyofone:
Chai! Kai !

Wakanda game of throne is this on and off switch dark and light upanddown

Hmmmmm

I guess in the few days since the tariffs, manufacturing jobs have arrived in the USA.

Sister I’m tired

happney65:
Werey don pause am ooo..

He thinks the rest of the world will be begging him.

Useless bully with his yeye supporters who dont reason with their brains

Omg 🫠

basilico:
Gaslighting again. The deep state is the entrenched bureaucracy that runs DC. The Federal agencies, the judiciary. I can also throw in the bankers and the Rothchilds to make you feel good

So why aren’t his right hand people not investigating and ratting out all the culprits?
I mean democrats supposedly planned Jan 6 and made y’all do what you did.
They tried to kill Trump too 🙄
And don’t let us forget Epstein island.

What’s with the cold feet?
