In looking at universal care globally in the developed world theres an issue with analyzing wait times to get care. Is there a separate issue with how they 'ration' healthcare? I used to look at the rationing point as really an issue of wait times but now im wondering if it is actually a separate is

Every other developed country in the world covers everyone at half the cost that we do, mostly with better wait times elsewhere as wellThe main reason it costs less elsewhere is because they regulate medical prices. Most of these countries are not single payer... their system is supplemented by insu

Al Gore, offering a lecture at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, was a patent bust, beginning with the above phrase while marching to the poorly-tuned drum of climate change ever since "An Inconvenient Truth," released 40 years ago and which was full of lies. New York City is not yet u

China is giving up on American debt as is India. Now even Europe is talking about itWe have tens of trillions in debt. Our debts level is going well past the size of our economy. The bills are coming due and are getting beyond our ability to pay. How did this happen? Primarily, and you can fact chec

I support this ban. If a corp wants a home, let them finance a residence of their funded construction. Reducing the availability of single-famly homes by corporate greed is stupid when home ownership is as strained as it is now. I owned a home in San Francisco from new purchase in 1978 and moved out

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is a publication of Congress. It is publicly funded and officially non-partisan as opposed to being, say, a privately company owned by a left-aligned oligarch. I bring them up as an edge case; a sin that the CRS is capable of committing is well within the rea

I realized that humans have vast swaths of resources for food if insect farms and ocean farms were created. The real limitstion is that these as far as I can tell aren't profitable enough to satisfy capitalism but inherently allow for practically unlimited protein and many nutritionsThat’s a genuine

Now my bias is against meddling in the affairs of other countries unless we r provoked. But what have the results been from USA interventions? Far as I can tell Iraq is stable enough, now its minus a terrible dictator. If we made a mistake it was staying there so long to try nation building What abo

So all the talk about how trump was just "pretending" and acting unpredictable, was clearly proved false.talking bad of Venezuela constantly and accusing it of drugs was of course just preparation for invasion. He needed to prepare people for this mentally. Same was true for Iraq, and every other US

...and the rest must be part of the trump cult? Or, at least i doubt there's much overlap with people who want greenland and those who are also against trump To me, its plausible to take greenland for essential minerals and to prevent Russia and China from sneaking through... as who says the surviva

This is a current case before the Supreme Court to accept, or not. it may surprise some who think I’m a Trumper. I’ve said multiple times I am not, but your trend is disbelief.i hope the Court throws out the case, because it should not need litigation. The President does not have ultimate, unlimited

Whenever terrorists or rioters are criticized for destroying property, someone will inevitably respond, "Well, what about the Boston Tea Party? Those people were terrorists who destroyed property and they were justified." Now, as a disclaimer, I don't think that justifying the Boston Tea Party autom

It does make housing more affordable but it mostly benefits the wealthy as our economy is becoming such that only the wealthy can afford houses. Maybe when that deduction was created it was more equal opportunity enabling but no longer.If they want to help people in this economy they should do a ren

Sometimes I wonder if trump is as corrupt as he looks. I think his ego might mean more to him than catering to the rich and donors. Like maybe if some good for the people and practically good for everyone policy ideas got in front of him, maybe he'd use his clout to maybe actually do some good. Like

Why does every MAGA woman look like a lot lizard that's been beamed up to the mothership to be given two hits of the ole ovipositor to the face? What is going on here?

The president does not appoint Supremes, they are nominated, only. It is the Senate which makes the appointments. Blame them for the alleged stupidities of appointments, although I see no stupids on that Bench, just variations of opinion, which is the way it is supposed to work, and does in the mid-

## **II. The Curse of the Law**Laws are essential. They protect us, restrain injustice, and maintain social order. But every law carries a built-in limitation: it can govern behavior, but not conscience. Laws can outline justice—but they cannot feel it.Even good laws have unintended consequences. We
