12. Sometimes I Think We're Not Messaging
Thu Jul 3, 2025, 06:33 AM

This the correct way. Certainly, lack of access to good and timely healthcare is going to cause problems. But, let’s be honest, do MAGA really care about anyone but themselves? And they can always fall back on “God wills it”, right?

To me, this is a jobs killing bill. Healthcare in rural areas, besides government, is a major employer that has good benefits. So what are these people going to do when they loose their jobs when federal money is gone? And this will trickle down to local businesses that rely of these folks salaries.

Apparently, economics is lost on most of these folks. Kind of like farmers who vote MAGA and wonder where all their farm hands went and why their soybean, corn and wheat is worth less. Duh!
