Those Ukrainian Democrats are known for inaction actually

Wait what? $5 footlongs are only like 6.5 inches long? Not that there's anything wrong with that length. It's above average really.

Me too. What's up with that? Gnats too.

What quote is misattributed? Also it appears to be a blog post, I don't really think its intention is to report on the facts but rather provide analysis. Fuck OpenAI for this and many other things, the ire is well deserved.

How so?

To outlaw that while also not providing any replacement would be the same as sentencing tens of millions to die or suffer from treatable illness.

Who the fuck is saying that? Literally I have never seen someone ever suggest that

No one would need to directly be paying for healthcare or insurance in order for folks to have good care. In a system that doesn't greatly reward antisocial behavior and policies is there any reason we couldn't you know, maybe NOT require folks to pass any kind of barrier, financial or otherwise, in order to get care? The problem is not just that it's done for profits. Even if all insurance companies had to be nonprofits, as long as we keep doing things this way (the system at large that is not solution focused with the goal of meeting needs effectively and responsibly, but is instead profit driven) they would still have to deny claims to remain afloat.

Also, don't pretend you give a shit about people suffering or not receiving adequate care when you're an apologist for fucking UHC and Mr Dead CEO.

You have to be fucking kidding me 😂

net positive compared to no health insurance

Let me stop you right there. Health insurance is a blight on humanity. They do NOT provide healthcare. We have invented the need for insurance, the need for an intermediary who does not have medical expertise or training to be involved in decisions about healthcare. This is not a net positive in any way. A single denied claim makes it a negative. The millions of deaths caused by insurance companies were largely preventable. For everyone keeping score at home, that does appear to me to be what we call a "net negative", unless they provide some incredible benefit that somehow wipes that all away.

If people don't want companies making massive profit of off peoples' sickness and debts then there is a political party with that stance

But the US en masse keeps choosing suffering, choosing to create CEOs like Brian.

What a fucking heartless statement of victim blaming. You appear to have no intersectional understanding, and no awareness of the actual reality faced by a large majority of USians.

Add reddit. FRAGMAT? MAF G RAT? MAGA FRT? Oh thats not bad

Yes, I'm pointing out what you prioritize is really weird and not consistent with what you're saying, in my opinion. I make comments willingly, as you have mentioned. Your behavior is more your concern than mine (and also certainly whoever is subjected to it in your real life, whatever that looks like)

Weird how quickly you respond when adding nothing of value and treating others poorly, but when asked questions about the specifics of what you prefer to what you're shouting down, you sure take your time.

I mean I was punished for not doing it one time. Agreed otherwise

Not ironic when you realize it's this but literally. He wants to own all speech.

Okay? I stand by my saying you're wrong.

Still waiting on the response to the other one btw

What? Why do you think that observing that no one is coming to save us = not caring about the outcome or not doing anything to affect it? Btw, since you're so against apathy I'm pretty curious 1. What steps you're taking to prevent the spread of fascist policy and ideology and 2. What do you recommend to the average US citizen who feels overwhelmed and helpless to stop the hostile takeover to both make change and feel empowered?

Lol what? No. You are either deeply misunderstanding what I'm saying or trolling.

More like a bail fund

Is this a joke? Where is the precedent for interceding in fascist regimes simply to stop fascism? If anyone from the outside steps in in any way it's not going to be to save us, and it's more likely IMO to be from someone with interests in acquiring US holdings, I.e. not because of the spread of fascism. I would be very surprised if I was wrong about this.

Oh shit you got me good

You accused them of saying buying from China is what we should be doing and they didn't say anything like that. You're obviously a bad faith troll.

This is the dumbest take I swear. If it's that bad to burn ONE, what do you think happens when you take the richest dude on the planet who directs slaves to extract the metals from the earth to make many more of them a year, the supply chain for which is incredibly polluting, and many of them just randomly do that themselves, requiring THOUSANDS of gallons of water to put out each time, and put him in charge of US govt's spending priorities?

Spoiler alert:

It's not good (etc.)

Forget climate change

Lol what?

And just like that, worrying about climate change has become a thing of the past.

To you, apparently. Not those of us who have our eyes and minds open and are actually trying to make positive change.
