Why is Splinter so dead set on medicare for all or nothing? When literally every other western nation that has a form of government health care, that Splinter cites as reasons to implement medicare for all, does not actually use a system that is close to medicare for all? I mean weird hill to die on. 

I mean, I’d be fine with eliminating the debt ceiling. It would help prevent disruptions and ensure the funding of existing legislation. But to the extent you’re talking about hypotheticals as it relates to prospective legislation as a reason to want to eliminate it, then it’s sort of beside the point.

I’d like to think it comes from a place of “we want to keep our noses clean/no skeletons in the closet.” And I really can appreciate that attitude, but it’s for a perfect world. We do not live in one of those and all of us have imperfections.

They sound much the same as the Supra comments on this forum a few months ago.

The way this whole aspect of the healthcare discussion is being handled is weird.

This article’s summary of this research is so bad that it borders on willful falsehood. Here’s the actual result from the study:

Semenya is a woman who has higher levels of testosterone than most women, like Michael Phelps has longer arms than most men.

Actually, this funding is a bridge loan, so not an investment but rather financing (a note payable). Whether they get access to the IP is determined by whether the IP secured the financing or not. I would say probably so since they don’t have much else to support a loan.

Meanwhile, the students at ASU tried to protest ICE. But they couldn’t figure out how else to keep their drinks cold.

This is the right way to lose on opening day. 

$10 difference on an annual premium cost? I’d like to see the T-test results on this one.

Why not just utilize the INLS causeway system?

Both of these presented options are stupid. One takes away my freedom and the other doesn’t achieve cost-efficient healthcare for all.

The beef is that they don’t have real answers because they tend to be dishonest about the full scope of the broader costs associated with eliminating an entire industry/sector of the American economy. Also, because they tend to read public policy polls through the rosiest of glasses, meaning that they mistake tepid…

You’ll be forever stuck in the grays here, but that’s basically the same thing I thought. No doubt there is a giant problem with college costs and the admissions process as a whole, but I don’t really care that the author couldn’t get into a good school after he almost flunked out of high school and then ran up a…

“PC LOAD LETTER?” What the fuck does that mean?

I suspect the same commenters who are upset with Bernie Sanders also think Ocasio-Cortez is likely to wind up walking the same path over the next few decades. I know I sure do.

Sure, they lost money on every on they sold, but they also didn’t make it up in volume. 

No way!
