I thought they had the opportunity to apply for a $1m grant, but they’d have to put up $72k and they decided not to.

I think you answered your own question.

As an aside, there’s growing evidence that not taking the full course of antibiotics if the infection is already resolved is the best course of action.

I believe the theory is that by continuing to take the antibiotics, you kill off the bacteria that isn’t drug resistant and just leave the drug resistant bacteria behind.

No. They had the opportunity to apply for a ton of money for the system and didn’t.

You’re thinking is incorrect. The only way their plan works is with slave labor.

Not all of us voted for this

Oops, my bad. My eyes fucked up the comment levels.

Seriously, if I were a practicing Jew I’d be pissed as fuck at Israel for being antisemitic.

It’s actually a bug since they plan on using these people as slave labor.

Lol, looks like you can’t read after all.

No, you’re confusing two separate issues.

If it’s before the point of sale, they can refuse any form of payment. If you’ve already accrued the debt, they can’t refuse it.

At no point in this entire chain was I talking about payment for goods and services. My original statement was about fines levied by the city or state, which is a debt that the debtor legally has to accept pennies for, or discharge the debt.

Even then, if you can “only” afford $5m, you’re a criminal when you can’t pay the next round of dues.

If you expect the Trump administration to refund anything, I have a bridge to sell you. (This isn’t to you personally)

It won’t be low turnouts, though. The majority of people who go to those things are wealthy, and the US doesn’t have a problem with them. Shit, wasn’t the last world cup rife with human rights violations?

I totally agree with you, but it feels weird saying things like this, because it’s what the xenophobes would also say.

Like foreign students. Telling them to stay away because it’s dangerous for them here feels wrong, even though it’s factually correct.

Except there will be no refunds.

They won’t be missing the cheap immigrant labor once they get to the stage in their plan where their concentration camps provide that labor for ‘free’.

like the Mafia dealings he’s more familiar with he fantasizes about.

You have to realize that by the very nature of being on Lemmy, you’re vastly more informed than the average voter.

If the only news you consume is from Fox, you wouldn’t be able to see all that stuff.

It was enforced once in 94. That’s it.
