“stop understanding”?
You seem to be misinformed, they never understood. Insurance companies simply bribed them and they were happy to oblige.

Wasn’t the individual mandate initially a Republican proposal?

Oh they understand how it works. They. Just. Don’t. Care.

I pay around 200 euros a year for HI and it covers all . USA health care is mess .

The US has a long, sordid history of “rugged individualism” that is mostly bullshit. Politicians appeal to that idea and get people to go against their own best interests so the politicians can funnel money to their buddies instead of building a society.

When did republicans stop understanding how insurance works? Literally the ONLY thing that can keep costs down is the fact that we all “pay for each others’ insurance”. That’s the only way it succeeds. That’s how all insurance works, has ever worked, since the invention of insurance.

If I was American, I’d be calling to report that ICE was asking for my documents outside a courthouse.

You must be fun parties.

Yup. Fat stacks! And maybe an off-road permit if your state requires it.

Wow that’s CRZ!

Wake me up when he does it with a lion, oldschool-like.

In most of the US states, nothing - if you’re on private property. If you’re off road, you may need an “off road sticker” for the vehicle, and you may need to be a certain age.

I believe cash is all you need my friend.

Unstable? We have Donald Trump as President and already have nuked one country and invaded countless others without UN approval.

No country with nuclear capabilities is good for the world, stable, or unstable. I’m with Ken, if the US, Russia, and other “stable” nations won’t get rid of their nuclear arms, then we’re in a tough spot trying to convince other “unstable” nations to do so.

To suggest that any nation “needs” or “should have” nuclear…

Because they are unstable and unstable countries with nuclear capabilities are not good for the world.

I’m not sure where you live, but more than 50% of the population don’t have $1K in their savings accounts. For those people, $90 is a lot to pay for a shirt. 

Globa free trade is a pyramid scheme designed to concentrate all wealth in the hands of the rich. Just like every other econo/political structure that has ever existed.

I’ve always been of the belief that a company/corporation/etc that relies on keeping wages low to break even is not a business that is interested in longevity. Labor has supply/demand as well.

I was being facetious about the “dirty little secret” thing because the original poster clearly had a simplistic view of economics and I doubted whether he even knew the Fed had a target inflation rate.
