  • I read that as in she is unable to work or research, in the medical field, not as a patient.

  • My father has Parkinson’s and my mother, who was his primary caregiver, passed a few months ago. They went from being comfortable with their finances and having a small, but nice home, to my father now going into a nursing home and likely lose everything he owns because of how expensive nursing care is. We are looking at $7k a month with zero assistance from Medicare and he has enough money that he doesn’t qualify for Medicaid but will burn through all his assets in just a short time. It’s ridiculous that people work hard and save and it’s all gone in a flash.

  • My mother passed recently and was the caregiver for my father who has Parkinson’s and can’t live alone. My parents managed to save some money but not enough to afford him moving to an assisted living facility but has too much to qualify for Medicaid. There won’t be enough money to care for him let alone any sort of inheritance. Fucking system is so fucking broken.

  • Weirdly we were literally watching YouTube shorts of people farting into pots.

  • That was a great show and had so much potential.

  • There seems to be more and more stories of police hurting animals. What a POS.

  • Ooh! I love Rhys Darcy! Is it going to theaters or something like Netflix? My Google fu is not giving me any details for some reason.

  • Interest question. I would guess (with no scientific evidence) that it wouldn’t have a significant impact but that is only a guess.

  • I want to say the going rate is around $40/hour for registered nurses but I’m sure it varies depending on city/state in the US.

  • Well that is a small bit of relief.

  • I have many hours in Slay the Spire and would absolutely buy the game again in support if the moved.

  • Oh that is great! Thank you, I will check it out!

  • I don't believe the GOP would ever let this pass but this would help considerably towards getting out of debt, although slowly. The student debt loan relief would have been even better but obviously that didn't happen.
