A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

As someone that has to deal with the VA on the regular, it does work.

They have given me the mental health care, medical care, and medication that I need to live a normal life.

The VA is by no means perfect, but many people complain about the VA, when THEY are the problem for not following up, or maintaining appointments or even following general instructions.

Yes, it's a complicated annoying system, but it can and does work. They will drop you quick as fuck if you don't keep up with your shit.

I have had a few bad experiences with the VA as well to be fair, but two things happened, I learned how the system worked and I started going to a different location and had a completely different experience, with a Dr that actually seems to give a shit, unlike the civilian Dr that kept trying to get me to make 5+ appointments for an issue that should have only taken two, just to squeeze more money out of me.

So yeah, I'm sure the VA is corrupt just like everything else but they are one of the main reasons I don't have a bullet in my head right now.
