91. No absolutely not I have lost a lot during the first 6 months of Trump's

presidency. I had a great federal contractor job for 3 years that I loved and enjoyed until May of this year when DOGE got rid of it. This big POS bill also affects me when it comes to health insurance since I'm unemployed right now and I'm on ACA. I'm not too old at my age of 41 to get a job but I also know age discrimination has ratcheted up where 40 is now the new 50 for a lot of these corporations. I say this because I maybe left with no options other than working dead end jobs or being self employed. In either scenario I'm going to have to buy insurance from the ACA. This bill is going to make it very hard for me to get affordable insurance where I might have to risk not having insurance and god forbid I suffer a medical crisis then I will be cooked.

Fuck these MAGA clowns. I have a younger sister who is MAGA that I have always despised even before she became MAGA. I avoid her like the plague and would only see her once a year during Thanksgiving at my parents house only because my parents would ask me to come over. I told my parents now that I'm not coming to their house for Thanksgiving if she's there since she played a role in voting for this POS to get rid of my job. They understand the situation since they are also Anti-MAGA.
