2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

The toll free number WAS available and 15,863 of those ticketed DID NOT CALL THE NUMBER.
All they had to do was call it. They never made it that far. The number was active, it was funded, it was ready to direct people to services.
137 out of 16,000 actually called it.
That is NOT an insurmountable number for what is already available:

Because they knew that there was no real help available.
The more you keep relying on that single point, the more you prove that you have no understanding of this bill, what it was supposed to do, and how it failed the people.
All you’re doing is using circular logic based off your own ignorance, and you have already cited sources and I have already cited sources that debunk your one and only claim.
You can keep asserting this false claim over and over, but all it does is prove that you’re both wrong and ignorant of the matter at hand.
There IS real help available, and if they had actually bothered calling the number, they would have been directed to it.
The facts prove you’re wrong. Your own links prove you’re wrong. The link I provided prove you’re wrong.
At this point either you’re completely diluted or you’re lying. At least lying to yourself. Frankly, you seem to be the one who needs help.
I’m blocking you. So don’t bother replying.
Again, help IS available. All they had to do was call the number.
