The commenter I replied to said"when it’s no longer a problem" to lower the taxes again, I’m suggesting to not lower them again. People who have multiple homes should be paying maximum taxes on all luxury items- homes, cars, airplanes, income, everything possible, and that money should be used to support social programs.

Or you keep those taxes the same and use the money to reinforce social programs to make sure no one in your area ever has to go homeless or hungry again.

I don’t want to work forever and I 100% disagree with this article, but I also don’t want to be my grandparents who never went anywhere or did anything ever because they were limited to their pension money. I would rather work part time than wait around for someone to visit because I can’t afford to do anything else.

There needs to be some enhanced senior programs to help make it so you don’t have to spend the next 20 years doing another puzzle alone at the table or whatever the stupid ass title was.

Good call, my husband cooks, I bake. It works

She might as well have made box potatoes. Has she tried not doing…all of that?

I know… There are 10 dental schools in Canada, the odds of getting in to one to have any work done are almost literally like winning the lottery. I’m sure it’s not much better in the U.S. plus you have to be lucky enough to live near one. The nearest major city to me is 8 hours away. And typically you have to fit within an income threshold, which we don’t as we are a two income household with benefit, albeit benefits that are quite limited.

And rarely available, and far away for most people. Getting in to a dental school for complicated work is like winning the lottery.

If meta has any part of the fediverse. I don’t need another Facebook. Having profits be the priority will bring down the fediverse.

Probably both Lemmy and Mastodon, if they are a part of the fediverse it spells trouble all around.

If you have a cavity that you can’t afford to deal with go get some clove oil ( yes, I know how people feel about essential oils and I usually agree- but this is legit) and cotton swabs. Soak the swab in the oil to excess and then put the swab in the cavity and squeeze the excess oil into the cavity. This is going to taste like you ate a thousand pounds of cinnamon and your mouth might water- a lot, but clove oil is a dentist approved antiseptic. You have to be careful, it can burn your face skin if you get it anywhere unintended.

I have been slowly losing my teeth over the past decade and am too broke to fix it, so I had to rely on clove oil between being able to afford extractions. It helped a lot. If the oil doesn’t work then the infection is too far gone and you need good antibiotics. They wouldn’t even be able to extract a tooth that bad.

And they should be allowed to. What else are they supposed to do? They don’t exactly have much to go back home to.

I’m sure there are some, there always are, but it will be overwhelmingly bots, and not the bots designed to garner engagement.

I will delete my account.

It won’t be just people, it will be bots mostly.

As someone who has to pay back half of my COVID relief but so many rich people and corporations don’t- I feel this deep in my black soul.

$7000 on top of my student loans👍

I think the point was that roll starting didn’t work anymore.

You might not, but anyone who has to breathe around it will.

I can’t meditate without direction yet. I need the app ( I don’t use this one, but I will when my free year runs out ) to keep me focused while I learn how to meditate. It seemed contradictory to me at first ,too, until I tried it for myself.

I would love a co op

Then we should pay more taxes.
