In fairness to Trump and Ryan(I hate typing that) I dont think either quite understood how much the HFC members and their constituency want a full ACA repeal. Not a fix, not a replace, a full loving repeal with nothing else. My rep isnt a HFC guy but still local new sites a full of local losing their minds that even the tiniest piece of the ACA might remain and that is UNACCEPTABLE WE SENT YOU ELECTED YOU TO REPEAL IT. Either way, gently caress em all

Here are the final modifications to the AHCA. https://twitter.com/frankthorp/status/845098251825168385 I don't know what the "requires states to determine essential health benefits" line means. I think that means it makes the essential health benefits non-mandatory, which would kill the bill from even being considered in the Senate. .... if it even gets there.

Trump's going to be wildly successful in convincing his base that he had nothing to do with this dumpster fire and 'courageously stood up for them against the corrupt and inept Republican congress'. Truly the God Emperor cares only for them, and only a further Meanwhile the rest of the country continues to stare on in fascination and horror.

Hot Karl Marx posted:https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-03-23/inside-alabama-s-auto-jobs-boom-cheap-wages-little-training-crushed-limbs I don't work in the automotive industry, but I work for a parts supplier that makes parts for a similarly sized company in the deep south and this article is 100% true. Thankfully there haven't been any fatalities since I've been working here, and only a few injuries that warranted an ER visit (and one that if not for some extensive surgery would have been an amputation). Safety rules, regulations, practices etc. are only followed as long as they are convenient (don't slow down production). I've even seen supervisors encourage less safe practices if it means speeding up production along with a healthy dose of "back in my day, we didn't have guards and I'm still alive" from old timers that should be the ones promoting safety. Safety is only worked on / improved after a major injury, and then the word from management is not so much "we need to keep this from happening again to protect our workers" than it is "we gotta do something so OSHA doesn't fine us". All the while during plant meetings and such talking about how "our employees are our greatest assets". I'm pretty sure mentioning the word "union" in a positive manner could get you shitlisted.

All the while during plant meetings and such talking about how "our employees are our greatest assets". The company I work for would do the exact same thing if they could but our shop is a closed (union only) shop so that protects us from a lot of that crap. I have 0 doubts in my mind they would be paying us half as much without the union. I've also had 2 injuries on the job but those were kinda my fault and a construction environment is a lot different than a factory. I think the thing in the states with unions is that a lot of the south don't want the union to be 'promoting abortions and etc' by making donations to democrats and socialists (bernie), so that's how a lot of anti-union guys frame it, that being part of a union is anti-christian type of thing.

So Canada passed an 'anti-islamaphobia' bill which is basically a non-binding resolution that will start a committee to try and curtail all the religious (ANY) descrimination and advise the government on how to do that. So the right goes ape poo poo saying this makes it illegal to criticize Islam etc. And it's even worse on social media. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/03/canada-passes-103-motion-islamophobia-170324074557381.html Edit: social media is going to be the downfall of democracy, you loving watch.

I'm doing that thing again, that thing I shouldn't do. I'm hoping the republicare bill fails publicly and spectacularly, bruising Donnie's ego so he goes full tinpot dictator wannabe claiming the rest of the party betrayed him, he's the only hope for his base and chaos reigns within the GOP. His Twitter hate-cannon gets turned on everyone who opposed him, Paul Ryan gets thrown under every last bus ever by both sides of the issue and the MAGA warriors declare white Jihad against all the impure among them.
