A) no it wasn’t. The vast majority of healthcare reforms in the EU took place shortly after WWII and explicitly due to the fact fascism was fresh in everyone’s mind so they could just remind everyone of nazi healthcare practices.

Literally has nothing to do with anything. Sane people realize that a fundamental shift in how health care is managed and delivered constitutes a reform. You only need to invoke the Nazis and all this other bullshit because if you stick to the facts you’ve got nothing.

B) Assuming you’re on ca due to your location, look up literally anything about native Americans in your country since you failed to learn about it in school (or went to school before courses on actual Canadians were added). Starlight tours still happen to this day and native women still disproportionately ‘go missing.’

Literally has nothing to do with anything.

Par for the course for the “burn down everything” people.

A) those countries had far less embedded capitalists. They did not reform, they advanced in a linear direction.

This is based on literally nothing. The way that health care was funded and delivered was reformed completely, many times in many countries, and was opposed on exactly the same lines, and that opposition was overcome. Your insistence that the whole system must be torn down or whatever is without rational or historical backing, and will guarantee failure.

B) you’re a north American, half of you are fascists and the other half are conservative Catholics. Don’t you people specifically still kill native women so regularly there’s multiple euphemisms about it?

Nobody knows what you’re talking about, including you.

A) yes, it is impossible to reform an embedded regime of wealth. You need revolution, which will likely require tanks even in the age of drones.

Plenty of countries managed to enact universal health care coverage, facing down the same embedded regime of wealthy special interests, without full revolution. You’re just flat out wrong.

B) tankie is anything to the left of burning children alive for warmth, at least how it’s used on this site.

Lol k

Private equity is salivating over the idea of running his carefully built brand into the groundmaximizing value extraction from steam.

The current meta here is that things like brand loyalty and reputation are not really worth preserving, and are only as good as whatever short-term gains you can squeeze out of them.

Yeah this is one of those suggestions that sounds great on the surface but will just completely break government. Every single decision will result in a lawsuit, and the only beneficiaries will be lawyers. The inability to sue the cabinet isnt the problem, it’s the degenerates the American people vote in there.

There’s is no electoral system system and no regulation that can save voters from themselves.

It has everything to do with lumber tariffs, it’s just the other end of the equation. The forests are the supply, and the tariffs will create the demand.

I wonder if someone with gif skills can make one of the final scene in that movie where Bond is standing there waiting for the missiles to hit and one missile is tariffs , another is the next pandemic, and another is a breakdown of the geopolitical world order.

I wish I had the skill but I don’t.

Back then doctors were cool too. Tell them your shoulder hurts and they give you cocaine.

If that’s true they won’t make anything on the upswing.

Even if you’re right this movement is far from critical mass yet. I’m thinking at least one month will have to pass before there is enough pressure for Congress to even vote on taking back the tariff power .

Plus chlorinated chicken is weak as fuck. I want brominated chicken. Or better yet, fluorinated chicken. Bathe the chickens in one of the cool halogens or don’t even bother .

Was 1609 the year that the new world discovered weed?

A lot of this could be fixed by reforming the senate which is a big part of why that will never happen.

This is a company that is now immune to any federal investigation. Worth keeping that in mind when going over their numbers.

None of the supporters of this are going to read any of that.

Only if you like being poor.

People in general are savvy enough to know this. At least they used to be.

About a third of people aren’t. They’re so disengaged they don’t bother examining things enough to see through it. They just see both sides accusing each other of the same thing, so in their minds it’s awash - the issue no longer matters to them and the guilty party pays no price.

It’s a blunt instrument but it works reliably.

They can just declare that the passage of time has stopped, like they did for the national security exemption allowed by for the tariffs.

Also somewhat hopeful in that he says the forces of resistance are building both within the US and abroad. I’m not sure I share him optimism.

10 whole minutes? Damn that’s persistence. He’s the John Wick of fucking furniture.
