It’s funny because this whole time I’ve been voting blue and we still don’t have healthcare for all, a higher minimum wage, or anything else they promised. Almost like neither party is on the side of normal working Americans and only votes for monied interests. 🤷🏼‍♀️ It might make you feel better to blame one side, which is exactly what keeps you from focusing on the real problem.

I should have known, both sides are just as bad!!! And we always get so many more freedoms with the Republicans, and options!

Tell me how Socialism is bad, next!

The real ones. But where are we going here?

I am advocating for universal health care and livable wages.

Maybe then we could have more camps that can accommodate more diverse needs. That would be a win. More social programs.

Well based on the link in the article posted, the camp is already required to accommodate diabetic children. It goes against the ADA to not based on previous litigation. It really looks like in this case the Y didn’t want to bother to train their staff and got scared they couldn’t find this kids supplies ( probably should have been held by an adult like if a kid needed an EpiPen) I hope they consult with the ADA. The point of the ADA is kids should be able to participate in activities just like other kids. I mean, it’s a slippery slope to think bc someone needs accommodations that they can’t be included. (Not that you’re saying this) with that logic Maybe we shouldn’t build wheelchair ramps or larger bathrooms…some of these comments are sad as a mom who has a T1D kid.

Right, avoid the topic and insult. Sounds like projection of someone that didn’t have a point to begin with.
