Considering the police are lazy self-righteous fucks that have the blue flu every time there’s even a sniff of reform/accountability most laws in this country are unenforced, particularly ones linked to crimes that entitled white people commit.

What do you call that? Systemic racism.

MassHealth is amazing as long as you can find a doctor that takes it. During covid the spouse lost their job, my income went down and we moved to a little higher income town - the child was put on MassHealth. Covered every single thing, not one cent of payment.

It’s typical tribalism and labeling.

Tribalism makes those people put them-alike above others.

Labeling makes them wash the humanity of other people and mark/group them using some nasty word, e.g. some lefts calling some rights - “nazi” and rights responding with “commies”. Fun fact- in both cases most don’t understand the meaning of the word they use and when questioned why they call those ppl like this quickly get lost.

I remember when calling my grandmother in Springfield (from Waltham) required an operator. Then we got Direct Distance Dialing and my precocious sister (four years old) ran up the phone bill calling Grandma. Before that the operator made her get an adult on the line.
