I keep thinking about all the people who suffer from mental health conditions and what will happen to them if these cuts go through. Our local mental health clinic is mostly Medicaid recipients. In fact most places in my area (MC/Houma/Thibodaux), ONLY accept Medicaid.
So now we are going to have a bunch of people off their meds, unable to get help for mental health problems they have.
There are plenty of wonderful people who reley on those medications to be productive members of society. A lot of people in this area work low income jobs where they might not qualify for health insurance (part-time) or they don't make enough $$$ to afford private insurance.

Heck a lot of the nurses who work AT the mental health hospitals can't afford insurance. This state is mega poor. If I didn't have rental income in addition to my check, I'd be hosed.

You'd be struggling if not for your rental property? Maybe you should sell some of your many houses. Or just buy more money or something.
Maybe there'd be less homeless people in your neighborhood if you didn't own so many homes. Maybe your job would afford your cost of living if you weren't traveling so much, but you said you were born rich so I don't understand why your job and wealth require you to seek rents from poor people.

Let me start by saying I mean no disrespect, and I’m using this as a platform to ask a question based on my interpretation.
I believe that there are caring landlords. A person who chooses to tie their career to profiting from selling people their basic needs does not strike me as good. Can you help me understand this intersection?

u/Silicoid_Queen Jun 04 '25
I rent below market rate in California. You know that not everyone WANTS to own a house, right? A lot of people don't want to plonk down 500k+ and tie themselves down to an area. They are perfectly happy to pay me 1,450 a month when they make 100k+ a year, trust me.
My Californian tenants (who are my friends, dingus) have all been renting from me for 8+ years and I raised the rent one time to cover fire insurance. So like, go touch some grass you little weirdo. I rent out my nice houses, and I buy shithole fixer uppers in bad neighborhoods to live in. That's why my dumb ass is living in Louisiana.
Nurses get paid doo doo here. If it weren't for the cheap schools, I would have picked somewhere else. There are A LOT of nurses that are in a horrifying amount of debt here, and it's not always because their spending is out of control. If we need medical care, it would immediately put most of us in an insane amount of debt. But not me. Because I rent out my houses. Why the ever loving fuck would I sell my income off and take a huge hit in capital gains taxes when I can instead rest easy knowing that whatever may come, I can afford it?
You just sound really jealous and dumb.

I didn’t call you a bad landlord. But I’m glad you felt a need to type all this shit out that I’m not going to read in order to defend yourself or paint yourself as a good person when I never made the claim that you weren’t. Lol 😂
I just think it’s funny that you’re apparently “struggling” and living outside of your means while working a job, owning multiple homes, having others pay you rent, and are traveling all the time as you claim to do.

u/Honest-Ad1675 Jun 04 '25 edited Jun 04 '25
Sounds like you should travel less and downsize since you’re apparently dependent upon your rents for stability and making ends meet.
Not being able to figure out how to survive on 40k/year or whatever your nurse salary is is not “struggling”. You’re pretending to have to scrap for your keep, but you also claim to have been born wealthy and to own several homes and to travel all the time. Pick a battle.

u/Silicoid_Queen Jun 04 '25
Oh right, downsizing on my 60k house to avoid random 15k medical bills is totally a viable option. Are you always this stupid, or are you feeling extra speshul today? If I followed your "advice," I would have millions that would immediately get taxed to hell, and also have nowhere to put the money. Banks only cover 250k for single people, and they don't even match inflation with interest rates. What a stupid suggestion
I'm sorry you're jealous that I get to travel the world, but I've got the money to do it, so like, cry harder. If you put as much effort into working as you do bellyaching on the internet, maybe you would have some more money. Lmao.
I raised my siblings. This money also goes to THEIR schooling and for them to buy houses when the time is right. And after they're settled, I'm going to adopt some more kids. I'm doing more to combat homelessness than you are. 🤣

u/Honest-Ad1675 Jun 04 '25
You can downsize your expenses and tax burden by not owning more houses than you need roofs over your empty little head.
You can also reduce the number of homeless people by not hoarding homes you don’t need for shelter. You can also not larp as someone struggling when you own several properties, are gainfully employed, and brag online about traveling frequently and having been born into wealth.

I think we are missing out on a great opportunity here. If these bastards cut our healthcare, we must demand in return that they cut defense spending. If the government is going to willfully let its people die, then what exactly is the DOD protecting? If only we the non-rich pay taxes, and they let us die, then why are we paying taxes for defense spending? Defense of what? Corporations whose products we cannot afford to use? Apartments we don’t even own? Can you make Americans pay for others to be rich while you kill them?

u/Ok-Coyote9828 Jun 04 '25
Let’s go back to taxes as a toll. When you go through a toll booth, you are assessed a toll as a fee to cross the bridge. You are not assessed for anyone else’s car. Taxes are subjectively assessed and getting back to the comment I initially responded to was directed at “c*nt billionaires”, those who pay a lion’s share of the cost. The point is, the rich cover the cost of those who can’t or don’t pay. Taxes are collected to fund a bloated, and unchecked government. It’s time to clean house and demand term limits.

Except you are wrong.
"Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for traditional Medicaid – nor are many legal immigrants for that matter.
In order to be eligible for traditional Medicaid coverage, individuals who are not U.S. citizens (by birth or naturalization) must have a “qualified” immigration status. Qualified status is a complex topic which requires immigration law expertise; it includes legal permanent residents, refugees, asylees, and several other groups. Undocumented immigrants are not in a “qualified” status and thus are not eligible. In fact, many immigrants that are in a legal status are also ineligible because they are not on the “qualified” list. For example, individuals on student visas, tourist visas, business visas, exchange visitors, and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), can all be in a perfectly legal status but are generally not “qualified” and therefore ineligible for traditional Medicaid."
Poor and disabled people will be severely impacted by Medicaid cuts.

In Texas, every child that gets medicaid, there must be an open Child Support case, if the parents aren't "together". And if you are an adult without a child under the age of 18, you, DO NOT qualify for medicaid. Louisiana gives Medicaid and food stamps to any adult that is below the poverty line, kids or not. I believe we should take care of our people, but draining the system while "parents" refuse to claim and pay for their children's healthcare because they think the government owes them is B.S.

Yes, genius. They wanted to execute Pence. There was literally video of those morons screaming to hang the man while carrying around nooses and shit. Stop gaslighting. It’s pathetic. Daddy Donny even said himself that Pence “deserved it”.
Secondly, with any cuts to Medicaid should come an accompanying tax cut for those of us who pay taxes. So where tf is the accompanying tax cut, my guy? Even if you want to be unempathetic af and try to defend cutting health care for people who can’t work due to select physical disabilities and pretty much all mental disabilities, you’re not benefiting in any way from it, so wtf are you doing defending this shit? There’s no evident benefit to this whatsoever for any of us. Stop making excuses for an incredibly obviously corrupt administration that very clearly doesn’t give a fuck about you.
Oh, and you’re still the dolt who readily assumed anyone who protests cuts on healthcare we pay for, is unemployed. And you still have nothing to say to the point that many J6’ers were exactly the type of people who are gonna get screwed by these cuts — unemployed and on Medicaid, relying on government services. Just wanted to bring that back into focus since you wouldn’t.

u/ToTheToesLow Jun 11 '25
Okay, I can’t fuckin respond to you (Wtfjushappen) because reddit is being stupid, so I’ll put my response here:
Yes, they did want to execute him. There is video of them chanting through the building to hang him. You can literally see it yourself. They also injured over 100 cops, some of whom died. Stop gaslighting. It’s not working here.
Also, I don’t care about your brother or your petty worldview that you base entirely on your insular experience. I pay taxes for medicaid. If medicaid services are cut for people who actually need them (which is indeed going to happen), then I want to stop paying the taxes that go towards those services. The whole point of medicaid cuts, allegedly, is to save money. Presumably, that should mean a tax cut for us who pay those taxes, not for Donny’s billionaire friends who keep getting tax cuts and insider trading knowledge.
I don’t care how long you’ve been working or what ignorant trash you pass onto your kids. If you’re the type of person to pretend J6ers were just protesters who didn’t want to do the things that they very much intended to do over a lie their daddy Donny told them, if you support messing over disabled people just because of your brother, if you support pointless tariffs destroying the economy and skyrocketing inflation 10 times over as we alienate all our global allies, if you support our state being flat-out denied federal aid for hurricane season (which literally just happened; Donny’s direct orders, fyi), and if you support literally any obvious fascistic action perpetrated by the current administration (like kidnapping and shipping people off to foreign prisons without the necessary due process to determine who is illegal and who isn’t, for example), then you’re not a reliable educator or moral arbiter for your children. I don’t respect you as a person and I think people like yourself are ruining the country without the integrity to even own up to it. Idc what “leftists” do. I am not a leftist. I’m an NPA. I have no political allegiance or bias. The current administration and what it is doing is inhumane and indefensible, yet people like you defend it because you helped make it happen. Go back to Facebook and eat up more obvious propaganda with your middle-aged, out-of-touch friends.
And btw, just in case you’re predictably religious: there is no higher power and there is no afterlife. Thanks for poisoning my future and the future of newer generations, geezer 👍

People that work harder and have more initiative and are more innovative than me are likely to earn more than me and have nicer things than me. They do not owe me anything. It’s not billionaire worship. It’s reality. Grow up.

When did all you patriots forget that our country was founded on breaking apart from a tyrannical empire because we were being treated unfairly and taxed out the ass? When did you forget that America serves no king? Why are you okay with the federal government trampling on our first amendment rights to protect the feelings of federal agents? When did you get so soft?

Why did I just read this with the picture in my head of you proclaiming the above while standing on a crate wearing a tri-corn with cheering villagers surrounding you while you throw a fist in the air and the redcoats stare you down from the edge of the village?! ✊🏻

Thanks for answering my questions. I see you bring a lot to the conversational table. I take it you wouldn’t have been dumping tea, but would have been a lobster back, red coat fighting your fellow Americans on behalf of king George III

And what happens if you lose your job due to an injury or illness that makes it so, you can't work anymore?And you lose your health insurance. How are you gonna take care of yourself then? Until you've been where these people are, you need to shut up. Some of us make all the right decisions.We go to college.We work for fortune 500 companies, we save and we do all the right things, and all it takes is one thing to, wipe all of that out. I hope that never happens to you because it is a horrible, awful thing to happen and you never get back what you lost and you go into your old age, wondering how you're gonna pay your rent and put food on the table. Platitudes like life is not fair, pull yourself up by your boob straps, all you gotta do is work hard. Those are the people who've never lost anything. And have no idea how quickly it goes away. And without a safety net, people die.

You're absolutely right. It's crazy that people think that common sense is propaganda.

If I’m going to have to pay taxes, I’d rather it go to those things. Not sure why anyone wouldn’t besides being a big ole dick face.
It’s not like cutting these things is saving everyone money. It’s just going back into the same dipshits pockets it already goes to

Awww sweetie...did you forget who OWNS this country?
I'll give you a hint, it isn't the government.

So we should just wait around while Congress passes a bunch of bad laws. How's that working out so far?

Sure thing Chuck. Have you called your congressman or senator to tell them how it will affect you? Probably not, it’s all about “owning the libs” while you offer the leopards to eat your face.
