I agree that emergency care should be provided to illegals, and an ICE officer waiting to take them into custody as soon as they are discharged.

Should law enforcement be waiting for anyone who has any legal issues after emergency care or just illegal aliens?

Anyone, of course. And if police know a patient in the hospital has a warrant out they will. It's only illegals that get a free pass.

Living paycheck to paycheck is almost always a choice.

Even lower income earners. If you make $40,000 a year then live like the guy that makes $38,000 a year and you'll no longer be paycheck to paycheck. Everyone wants to say they live paycheck to paycheck regardless of their income. People just like to spend what they earn and never want to make any type of "sacrifice"

Well the reality is immigration status isn’t run by the hospital and neither are warrant checks. It would have to be circumstantial reasons for either to occur, but please go on with the nonsense

True, $8,000/mo. IS a hefty tax bill. But, oh well...

If you wonder, who's paying their bill, just take a look at your health insurance premium.

If your employer is paying it, so you don't "see" it, then it's free, I guess...

Well, it's free until you share a room with one, and they brought MRSA with them...

Then, it isn't so "free" anymore...

By the way, this never happens in a hospital. I oughtta know, as I go back tomorrow @ 7 am for patients...

Strange is it only illegals that can’t pay for emergency care and carry mrsa? Or do legal residence have the same issue?

Obviously the problem isn't confined to illegals but I think the odds of an illegal not paying for their health care is significantly higher. We simply do not owe illegals the same benefits that we might extend to our citizens.

You can't pump a sky high stock market with interest rate rises and QT going on... it got so ridiculously high in the first place because of MMTers wanting to pump liquidity into the markets so they could pump up their asset prices.

Top and bottom suck from the middle. Using QE to pump up the S&P 500 is basically welfare for the rich.

As long as they continue QT markets will go down.


Now the smart money who sold last October will use their proceeds to buy residential real estate and other assets during the collapse.

This whole thing was orchestrated to concentrate wealth upward, while throwing the people in the middle a bone because they thought their $400 investment into Tesla turning into $1200 made them super rich, lol.

Throw the sheep a bone while the super rich fleece them while they aren't paying attention.

We can only hope there is some deflation, because the irrationally exuberant heroin addicts finally need some withdraw pains. We have become a society of stimulation addicts, from screens, to drugs, to monetary stimulus, sex, you name it, try getting people to settle down and be present for 20 minutes.... to stop consuming and stop the hamster wheel grind of dopamine driven hedonism.


Most people where I work spend recklessly... my guess is that high income earners do the same... spend right up to their income limits and live paycheck to paycheck. Their only saving grace would be sky high real estate prices from supply demand imbalances. Hopefully a good deflationary implosion can take care of that.
