What a non-story.

These 277 deaths could have been prevented with magazine disconnects. Not a non-story.

That's how most of these accidents happen. Only takes "forgetting" one time.

I think the point here is that anyone without training can pick up someone else's firearm and fire it believing that it's empty when it's not. A child wouldn't necessarily know that there's still a bullet in the chamber.

Edit: Apparently, I said something unpopular.

Once upon a time, I was saving for a Tesla. Not anymore. The end.

we're still blaming stimulus checks for inflation.

Most western countries had inflation as high or higher than the US and did not provide stimulus checks. Gee, I wonder what the common denominator could be...? Certainly not a worldwide pandemic!

Unfortunately, nothing will ever happen. Especially since Republicans have no interest in universal healthcare and hold every position of power now. It's all about money.

I get it, but it's still comparing apples to oranges. This situation could have happened in any country and also in the US with or without universal healthcare.

Well, it's still only 19 percent approval. This country is so messed up.

A pregnant women was refused entrance to a private hospital she was forced to give birth on the parking lot in front of the entrance.

Much different situation than in the US. They didn't go bankrupt. The private hospital just wanted to send them to the maternity room down the road. Was it a mistake by the hospital? Yes. But it wasn't because of lack of insurance or money and the mother didn't got bankrupt.

Just a reminder that Republicans have the Presidency, Congress, and the Supreme Court of the US. Enjoy the fossil fuels.

Instant special election.

American voters have been indoctrinated to think anything that in government initiated is "socialism."

Yet, they keep voting for the opposite. People seem too dumb to be allowed good things.

Sure, but the real culprits are the politicians who are financially supported by the health insurance industry and keep defending this insane system. Bernie for President.

Complaining about the taxes would be the dumbest since the US spends a lot more tax money for a lot less per capita.

I really don't think Raygun could have thought of a much better scenario than the one she's living right now. She's world famous and it's not like she was going to win any medals anyway. She should take advantage of this situation and just run with it. Write a book, make speeches, do events. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Don't get all offended about it.

Actually, he is. He holds South African, Canadian, and US citizenship.

I left live-TV behind years ago. I only consider and watch streaming services that offer an ad-free option. Also don't want my kids to watch all those ads. If we teach the next generation to despise ads, maybe we can change things.

Plenty of his supporters care about the 2nd amendment. Trump is extremely thin-skinned when it comes to his popularity and self-preservation.

But reality has the response covered:

Many European countries has a max wait time of 90 days for non-emergency elective surgery. If the wait is longer than that at a public hospital, the patient can choose to have the surgery done at a private hospital if there's room at no additional cost. Emergencies are always treated immediately, of course. You can also choose to have a private top-up health insurance plan if you wish to always be treated at private hospitals.
