Move over Supreme. $1400 Mama Skate pants are in town.

[Newphone]

Can’t she just sell 29 pairs of pants to fund this?

[mindfuzz]

Regardless of how you feel about her, the fact that people need to resort to gofundmes in this country for healthcare costs is so fucked up.

[el chino]

Why do people feel the need to jump down big shit before getting actually good enough to try jumping down shit?

100%. Moreover, setting aside the $1200 pants nonsense, that injury is no joke. I would think even the most irony poisoned among us, if they actually are skaters, would sympathize.

I agree, says a lot about our prorities unfortunately, but I guess so do $1400 pants.

[ThomasShitt]

looks totally sus to be honest. how could we know she 'needs' to resort to this? plenty of instances where that would be true for those old or unfortunate. but this is an opportunist here. looks like a clear chance to squeeze some sympathy out of it and not spend a dime to make your recovery a story. hence the ass shot and over detailed explaining

This. The poor circulating its own meager wealth.

I guess Cariuma plants trees but doesn’t provide healthcare lol

[ToySanta]

Heartbroken I missed whatever this thread was about at the time its events originally took place.

This is a job for the guy that calls himself GOAT.

Brah that slam was gnarly  fuckkkkkkk

[close]

Fuck yeah it was..her knee went left while her body went right. 

I like how she threw this in at the bottom of the gofundme as well, like if you don't feel sorry for her enough to donate here is a pic of her ass to help persuade you.    Does she have an onlyfan?  Might have better luck there than gofundme.

This is an excellent point. Otherwise, she’s just thirst trapping GoFundMe donations.

Best economy in the world and it can't even afford a model resembling free healthcare for its citizens. What a joke lmao

[changed1]

She had it the first try, just slipped out

[JugeL]

Do people really need to go gofundme route or are they just trying to make others pay their bills?

[TheDingus]

Can’t she just hit up cariuma for some Brazilian Scientology loot?

[metchup]

Just talking about the ethics of it I don’t think I would ever start a go fund me unless it was a last resort life or death situation

[6ix9ine]

Fucking great ass. I won't be donating any money to the gofundme but I WILL save that pic. Thanks!

Don't think there's many countries that just give away free ACL surgeries. 

[EdLawndale]

Wishing her the best. Heal up!

You ever notice how any thread relating to a woman is always like minimum 20 pages and more or less cannot be killed?

I wish women's switch tre thread had +20 pages

It's not technically "free", but when I'm in the hospital I pay a fixed 25 euro per day rate regardless of whether I'm laying in bed or being operated on. All procedures included. And a couple of physio visits afterwards.

And what's the waiting time/chances you'll ever actually get surgery?
Australia isn't as good as many places with it's free healthcare (altho still better than many others) and I've known many people (and been one myself) who are just on an endless waiting list for surgery and have had to find a way to take care of it privately or figure out a way to live without it. Even still with something like an ACL the options for free surgery may not involve something that can get you skateboarding etc and just be something that can get you able to work again.

I'm not an expert and I have no recent experience myself, but in general it's been getting a lot shittier in the recent years. There are definitely a lot of people waiting in queue. Sometimes in those situations the government will give you a voucher for private healthcare, but I'm not sure how common that is.

There's also this wage gap thing now that people who have good jobs usually also get employer-provided private healthcare. In some of my past jobs I was basically able to walk to an MRI and say beam me up and not have to pay anything. That's how I know I have a bulging disc that doesn't really affect me.

But even still, if I would go to the private side to get ACL surgery, the cost is to my knowledge 2500-4000 euros. If you have medical insurance, you pay the deductible which is 150-500 euros. So this example of having insurance and still having to pay $20,000 on top sound cuckoo-bananas. But I guess that 20k is for the LA-physio 3x per week for a year, which equals to 128 per visit which is not a totally unreasonable price maybe?

My comment wasn't necessarily about the specific instance of an ACL surgery but rather the state of the US healthcare system at large. It's absolutely egregious that the US is still caught behind in their model of healthcare when other similarly adjacent countries have proven a mixed model economy with universal healthcare has proven quite successful.

When the argument "how long do u have to wait tho durrr" comes up, people are usually referring to the bad wait times in Canada. However, it's important to note that the Canadian healthcare has its own complete set of problems (defunding of public healthcare, monopoly on pharmacies, low pay for healthcare staff, pandemic). All these contribute to the slow lag in the Canadian healthcare that otherwise would be fine if public healthcare was properly equipped. It's also important to realize that Canadian healthcare is done on a provinical/state level, so there's going to be big variation between locations.

It's just upsetting because common conservative rhetoric is to blame poor people and immigrants socially and politically for things like crime, onlyfans, when realistically, the cost of living is so enormously high people sometimes HAVE to resort to these things. This isn't a defence on criminal activity, but just an observation of the hypocritical logic of blaming someone for selling weed when it costs three to four digits for every visit to the doctor.

I get that, and I took it to specifics as an example but of course it applies across the board. But it seems to me that especially after covid the heathcare has taken a beating in many other civilized countries as well, so the long waits might be more universal now as well.

[urbneathme]

do you feel like countries’ public healthcare is getting jammed up on purpose bc people in power see how good the cash flow is in the US and want to get their hands on it but know they can’t just reverse course now?

[figureitout]

Isn’t It ironic/karmic it’s a knee injury after all the thieving she did from children & their parents selling $1400 pants …I find it so
