Not talking about doctors in this case. Talking about drugs. In the US, drug manufacturers set their prices and Medicare is require to pay them:

Continually baffled at how the US runs it’s elections. Having partisan bodies in control of voting will result in shenanigans like this, and gerrymandering, and so forth. It’s inevitable. And I think it’s telling that it’s democratic strongholds like Hawaii that are the places that have moved to non- partisan election…

I would definitely agree. I wish he’d stop making music, but he can live as long a life as the universe allows.

He knows his name. His Birthday. I assume he knows the rules of golf and the location of his own resorts, as well as trump tower. He knows how to send a tweet.

Socalism? Is this some philosophy related to Southern California?

I’m not sure why merely getting press should matter. The press for him was reporting on behaviour that should have signaled that he is wholly and completely unqualified to run a used car dealership, much less the nation. Press coverage alone isn’t automatically a positive thing.

And you have evidence of this? Lots of interviews with democrats, for example, indicating they have no problem with it?

I disliked it. well the first two episodes. Constantly going back to an unfunny joke premise throughout the episode...

... except that this is one single white lawmaker. It is sadly safe to assume he isn’t alone. But how many are you suggesting it is? A small number? A large number? All?

Look, even aquatic rodents can see that universal healthcare is a good thing. Fix that and maybe you’ll get some beavers.

Still an exception. If every war is about Imperialism, except one or two- where the US reluctantly  decided to resist someone else’s imperialism, once it became apparent it might directly affect them, then you still have a case where the US essentially only gets into wars of imperialism.

The phrase “pretty much” allows for exceptions. Just a little tip for ya there.

That may be true, but wars in general are mostly started over resources. 

Pretty much. Capitalism isn’t 100% bad. 

World wars... of which there have been exactly two. They were notably uncommon previously, so them “going extinct” is less notable than them existing at all. 

So your theory is that other nations are merely afraid of the US swooping in to lay the smackdown on them, and that it’s not,say, the fact that the percentage of the world population living in extreme poverty has gone from 60% to 10% in the last hundred years?

It is also, quite obviously what people who are not enemies of the people would say. But you certainly should’t get “enemy of the people” status merely for questioning a President, or pointing out that most of his public statements are easily debunked lies.

Seems to me that at least part of the answer should be obvious. BLM are protesting the police themselves. Hundreds of people taking to the streets to loudly accuse you of doing your job wrong and call you a bad person isn’t usually going to put you in a happy, peaceful mood. I could also see that effect being worse if…

TiL that the “human skin lampshade” thing was actually based on a rumour about Ilse Koch, whose husband ran Buchenwald. So while I was aware of the film, I was not aware that the titular character was actually based (presumably quite loosely) in a real person.

I think the term both she, and Bernie Sanders, actually want is “Social Democrat”, which is the basis for the Nordic Model that has done well for Norway, etc. and is to a lesser degree how Canada and the UK operate.
