the world is slowly healing
Why? Nobody in Curtis will get this message. It’ll just remain in our own little leftist pockets. Everybody left any social media sites that this could have been posted to. If any leftists are left in Curtis they’ll probably post something like “harharhar you stupid MAGA racist facist idiots. FAFO”. There’s no healing. No bridges being built.
So no way the world is healing. It’s dying, slowly dying.
If the MAGA part of the world dies, I won’t weep for their loss
It’s because they’re blaming trump for it instead of listening to fox news bullshit about how it’s all dems fault. They seem to be learning.
But the real trick will be to see if they keep voting R in the future…
dying can be a part of healing
Looks like this town takes the separation of church and State very seriously.
Keep touching that hot stove!
Those damn leopards. Cover your face! It was all a lie!
I feel bad for those who didn’t vote for him.
The world’s smallest violin would play for them, but it doesn’t give a fuck either.
Have the day you voted for, idiots.
Having a day they voted for.
It’s not just Trump.
The GOP could stop all of this tomorrow.
That needs to be hammered into their stupid skulls until it sticks.
Been saying, we need to stop talking about Trump and point fingers at the GOP, GOP, GOP did this.
The very wealthy who back campaigns did this. It isn’t any specific party. We need to address our wealth problem.
Groomers On Parade? Group of Pedophiles? What is the GOP really?
At least there is SOME heartwarming news popping up.
This is tragic not heartwarming. Yes they brought this upon themselves but let us not celebrate the suffering of others.
Sorry, the vote for celebrating the suffering of others passed by 74 percentage points
Let’s not forget about those who didn’t vote for Trump, not least of which the children of this town. Their suffering is tragic.
“They blame Trump”
No, they didn’t. The medical facility didn’t blame trump, the article didn’t blame trump, and there’s no proof that any of the citizens blame trump.
This is actually what the article says:
Curtis Medical Center to close after 30 years, citing inflation and uncertain federal funding
And then, later in the article it mentions how there’s supposedly $50 billion coming from the feds to assist rural providers, and how disappointing it is that they’ve made this decision before the federal aid has been finalized.
This is being portrayed as a business decision to close this town’s only healthcare facility. Anyone reading the article would have to believe that trump has anything to do with inflation or cutting funding, and a community that has over 85% of their people voting for trump doesn’t believe that.
Kinda pathetic reflection of the community, that the post you’re commenting on is one of the highest-ranked on Lemmy right now but no comment like yours is near the top of the comments
“Something is eating my face but it’s definitely not the leopard I voted for, it’s all business as usual!”
“excuse me i voted for leopards in bowties and i clearly see no bowtie on the leopard eating my face”
There’s a reason hospitals get bigger and bigger. Economics drive scale and communities that cannot drive scale will fall behind regardless what the government does.
And that is precisely why we have a government that provides essential services. We don’t want a government that runs like a business that runs like what you just talked about.
This is incredibly obvious if you ask what the most efficient government setup would be. Quite clearly, the most efficient setup is to not exist at all, because then there’s no overhead. And of course you provide no services but it comes at no expense… That’s what you were driving at, but I think almost no voters in the US actually agree with your stance. But they might describe things just like you did perhaps unaware that they are fooling themselves or others or both.
This is a product of healthcare being treated as a for-profit endeavour. Small healthcare facilities shouldn’t need to be profitable (neither should large ones, but as you highlight, economics of scale means that larger facilities do better financially).
The government does have the power to change this, but it would require recalibrating to recognise healthcare as a basic human right
Every rural community is a temporarily embarassed metropolis.
No, it’s these equity firms buying up hospitals, giving loans to themselves, and then bankrupting them.
Which ones that were bought by private equity ended-up going bankrupt? Do you have specific examples?
Remember when leftists took responsibility for things like this as a failure to organize the working class? Pepperidge Farms doesn’t remember either.
So x + (x+74) = 100 which means 2x = 26 -> x = 13
They voted non-Trump 13% and Trump 87%?
I wish they’d just given the % instead of this metric smh
87 - 13 = 74, so yeah
A big effect of comming ACA premium changes, is instead of paying $10k more per year, people dropping their insurance, using less medical care, until it is something major that results in their bankruptcy. People’s mass medical related bankruptcies cause hospital bankruptcies/closures, as does less “routine” medical use.
Feds are orchestrating massive civil unrest possibly a civil war so expect it to get worse before it gets better
Have the day you voted for.
Somehow the people in that town need to get this message, but I fear they wont hear a word of it on any of the media they consume.
