I say we are 90% in agreement but health insurers notoriously negotiate...a lot

That's an extremely optimistic outlook on a profession, dare I say human nature in general. I mean sure if we are discussing costs than PBM's and administrative bloat are probably larger factors, Insurance isn't because it is legally mandated by law to spend 85% of its premiums on healthcare, so there is a hard cap to how much it actually contributes. People want to blame insurance because most people or employers pay premiums that gets higher each year but those premiums are higher...because healthcare gets higher, not because Insurance companies are actually making more profit.
That said, doctors are still to blame partially because they hold a cabal of gatekeeping when it comes to resident and med school seats. It is an artificially lower supply that is effectively permanent unless things change, but they won't
The general direction is correct, and those TV drug ads need to be banned, but doctors are not these powerless victims of big pharma you are portraying them as. They are under prescribing pain killers as an overcorrection right now just because they want to cover their asses.
Not surprising at all tbh

Incredible strawman and assumptions. Since when was God defined by your standard of "empirical existence"

"Once Trump is out, will people even care about politics anymore?"
Probably not
That side faces the asteroid belt? Dunno but that was my guess. After looking it up it tbf an interesting reason why
Trump is woke in the sense that he contributing to the complete ending of old societal norms. Low-brow insults are now standard. Transgenderism is page 1 politics guy. And no interfering in Latin America doesnt stop "socialism" whatever that means nowadays.
"I was really excited about what Trump has been accomplishing so far" Really?
"Trump was really an example of how to fight against progressivism and the woke culture" Was he?

The below average American doesn't even vote, and yeah people don't think, read, whatever

These are just how average people act and always have. The average American cannot read at the seventh grade level.

This country is quickly becoming Brazil. Trump is a textbook caudillo (which is why MAGA is not WASP at all but that's another story), gig economy/hustle culture instead of careerism, machoism. Northwest European culture has never been at an all-time low like it is now

I'm not very bullish on nicotine, caffeine, etc. Stimulants kinda suck. The doc is on Tea and Wine these days.

This isn't really accurate. Most tories had commercial interests tied to GB so independence would economically hurt them. It was a lot less principled in reality. Gaelic Irish in North Carolina for instance believed that the King would protect the language more than anglo saxon supremacists like Thomas Jefferson.

Projection. Right wingers vote based on social issues because that's what animates them. It's why we on the left always talk about the right and their culture war BS. We see it for what it is, a distraction so the wealthy can continue to rob the working class blind.
HAHA no you guys dont

It's insane. I thought FarmVille and mobile games were stupid revenue farms. This is another level if you just let the users make the games.

Roblox is valued at over 100 Billion. It has more active users than steam. All the records for concurrent player counts have come from games on roblox.
And now every game is following suit with user generated content...

Nobody cares about cost of living because suburban dads and MAGA retarded young men don't like transgenders and base their vote on that. I don't know if you've noticed but serious political conversation doesn't really happen anymore.

this suggests American mind was working fine before, and then stopped working after trump broke it. No, it was the American mind which gave us trump, not the other way around. At some point, one notices that 100 IQ people arent really much great at decision making anyway.
Very well said

The KKK was 1)Literally based off of African spirits and hanging gangs that originate...in Africa. and 2)Basically a protestant liberal organization. It deplored fascism and Catholicism and wanted to defend liberty.
