I was told all you have to do is claim your tinnitus and you will be given an auto 10%. And trust me… ALL us vets have it. Apparently many people have had success with this.

Exactly. I'd call this moderately uplifting news, one day when people don't have to go into debt to get emergency (or any) healthcare will be actually uplifting

I just saw a few short clips of the lady cussing out people just driving by or taking pictures.

Reply to comment by Ineludible_Ruin in Danske Bank Quits New Fossil Fuel Financing by echosayswhat
It's more likely to do with new projects just not being a good investment anymore.
Projects that have a short time to generate profit after the first major dollar spend also have high operating costs and are in general financially precarious. 2020 made a lot of banks concerned about the reliability of those projects as investments.
More stable projects on the other hand (eg offshore oil) are massive money sinks, and take a long time to start generating profit. They've historically been a reliable investment, but right now a multi billion dollar investment in fossil fuel generation that will take years to even start production and then even more years to generate profit is not looking good. You're not going to fun those projects unless you're really confident it'll pay out more than a decade in the future. Right now it's not clear they will. Even the big petro companies are no longer blue chips, smaller companies died like flies over the last 5 years.
Petro companies also aren't interested in taking on debt the same way they used to. For a long time it was assumed that any amount of supply could be met by rising demand, and in turn that any hole in the ground would pay for itself. It was seen as a very safe investment unless you mismanaged the project entirely. 2020 changed that view dramatically and lots of projects funded on credit had to be closed down because they were no longer profitable to run. Today those companies don't expect new holes in the ground to always pay for itself, and instead aim to fund expansion projects based on their current income and not bet so heavily on future income from new production.
The reality is that the era of "Drill baby Drill" is over, and that it was infact never really a good idea anyways (see again, 2020). There's far less demand for financing, and the details around what demand is left are more complex. Every bank has fewer petro companies looking to them for financing, and we're probbaly going to see more of this over time. The only banks that will still offer funding will be the ones who want to maintain increasingly specialized departments for handling fossil fuel investments instead of redirecting that effort and overhead to other fields.

It's free care for up to 4 months.
30 days inpatient, Plus 90 days outpatient follow up care.
This is per occurrence, not once in a lifetime.

That's BS! 30 days??? It takes snot-nosed civilians who were spanked by their dads years of therapy to get over that, do we really expect a suicidal veteran who survived the horrors of war to need LESS therapy than someone abused by their dad???

The VA is no joke, turned my once homeless dad's life around. It was incredible everything they did for him.

This is such a weird take. People travel internationally to see the palazzo where Micheal Corleone hid out in Godfather II. My kids are 12-18 and have seen (multiple times) and love The Goonies.

I understand that. I'm responding to you calling it "very clean" and suggesting it is so because it's "distilled."
Flushing and non-potable uses are great, but I never implied it wasn't suitable as greywater.

I know virtually nothing about Danske Bank except that they are Danish. Deutsche Bank, notoriously shitty, is German.

Dang that’s wild, I actually remembered my buddy saying he didn’t have VA care because he had 0% even with honorable. They should probably put that info out there better haha
