tumblr users when you present the concept of a tradeoff

it went well

Still no news 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I have to go work on a garbage fire assignment at work while i wait to hear news from surgeons about how it went for my father in the OR

We are so lucky private clinics have a yearly quota of ‘basic insurance’ patients to cover because it’s early in the year and they haven’t yet met it

This means he gets his coronary bypass surgery done by a better doctor AND doesn’t have to pay the private clinic surcharge since he’s part of the quota

Father’s in the hospital for his heart again 😐

that blue eyed man is not ur soulmate be serious

wilson outbidding cuddy to buy an apartment to live in with house...so cuddy doesn't move in with her bf....

so now the goalposts have shifted enough that it's accepted that certain people (well, trans and queer ones...) are 'LGBTQ++ by choice' but actually that's fine and nothing that should elicit any reflexion ! being LGBTQ+ is now a process of finding fulfilment, you can just pursue LGBTQ-ness, or even inspire it in others, you see, and if you remember it any different that's bad because...uh...well let's not look into it!

especially if it means 'we' (who's we?) 'can't win' by pretending the real lgbt population is just a fixed preexisting proportion of the population. never mind that some pretty significant legal achievements were attained making that argument because...well..maybe the 'wins' being aimed for here have nothing to do with those obtained in the past...

I don’t claim to be celibate for political reasons but I’m too frightened to attempt to date men again so I guess I will be forever alone.

men will do that :( wish you the best, anon <3

I like the idea of a safety net for those who need it as much as anyone but it’s just not realistic for that to be available AND generous, you realize, if nobody’s paying in, and especially if many are receiving it

We really need, if we are to maintain social and economic resilience even through contracting population size, an economic system that rather makes it easy for individuals to save a large portion of their much higher real income to weather bad spots. The cost of living needs to be drastically lower than it is relative to income, so that you can be your own insurance, and that social security be reserved for people who genuinely never are in any condition to provide bc or themselves. Taxes and redistribution can’t achieve this and have already failed

How anti imperialist are you really as a ‘communist’ when you want delirious levels of state funded services, which in itself requires the following:

- endless population growth to sustain the financing of said services, which isn’t happening with local births…leading to this necessarily requiring:

- above desired (by the mother) fertility in the global south, and conditions which makes the global south’s population desire immigration into your country

It’s totally cool that most women globally are coerced if not outright raped into producing the workforce you so nobly want to see move to your country to get taxed for socialized services (that will never remain solvent unless ever more people come in) 🤗 good job and a good grade in being a leftist tm

Like all the focus on gender, sexuality, racial diversity, feminism, whatever, you gotta understand none of that is in any way relevant to the theory in communism, none of it was written at all time where companies had quotas and DEI policies or whatever, and neither would they be fond of the large scale immigration seen today, nor of its racial implications. You all just have headcanonized alternative facts as part of what you call communism. What it actually is is an economic and political analysis of labor and capital relations in a given country.
