The first paragraph of my comment is about his garbage take on healthcare, so suffice it to say I disagree that there is any context missing from my discussion.  

Thanks buddy. I read the article. It is fair to read phrasing like “the initial $3 million apparently wasn’t enough for Cawthorn and his family” as side-eying their approach to litigating to recover something for his injuries, and implying some sort of greed on his part.

Yeah, sounds horrific. I doubt many people would be willing to undergo that for even $30 million (out of which your medical bills would have to be paid), much less $3 million (again, out of which your medical bills would have to be paid).

What can you say to someone like this? It sounds like he got a C- in Econ 101 and that is the extent of what he understands about how markets work. How does he think “more competition” would work for medical care? After suffering a sudden, catastrophic injury, he would have shopped around for the cheapest care? Like,…

Complaints about cancel culture are just people who have been insulated from criticism their whole lives suddenly being forced to confront what people actually think about their work.

The IRS–wait, let me sure I’ve got this—purposefully sent stimulus checks to more than 1 million dead people?

Jenny Slate can pass as non-Jewish but would never be mistaken for black.  The character in question could also pass as non-Jewish, but would almost certainly always be perceived as black.

Where?

I have not heard a single person say this (and I work with people who, to a person, were shocked that Trump won in 2016). You work with crazy people

Who is spreading that message?

So Republicans are trying to make AOC the face of the Democratic Party because, why again? Like, do they think that having a young, charismatic, intelligent person who has proven herself extraordinarily effective at communication is going to hurt Democrats?

In his letter, Police Chief Robert Schroeder said Hankison “displayed an extreme indifference to the value of human life when you wantonly and blindly fired ten (10) rounds into the apartment of Breonna Taylor,” and that Hankison shot Taylor without confirming she was a threat to his life (which she wasn’t, as she was…

Stewart explained that The Daily Show had a blind hiring policy, which at the time producers thought meant no one could accuse them of being racist or sexist.

I’m not saying it’s the same, but blackface as wildly offensive was well-established by the time white comedians and other performers decided it was time to start breaking it ironically. In fact, that offensiveness is exactly what was supposed to juice the laughs.

we were both grey when i initially responded to the original comment :(

I was wondering who your favorite President is. 

who is your favorite president?
