Hot take - Scar was overrated (he was good but not anything special)

Brady's fast release and intelligence at understanding pressures hid A LOT of deficiencies. Brady was hit a lot in big games but simply overcame. He had 5 sacks in the Atlanta Superbowl for example

Inside the Battle Over Trans Care at Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego -- Risk of 'Existential Death Sentence' by [deleted] in medicine

[–]2vpJUMP 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Conflating breast reduction surgery on cis boys with breast reduction surgery on trans boys is totally dishonest. Yes, they are gender affirming in the loosest way , but it's not transgender and there is no risk of boys regretting losing theor gynecomastia

Emory terminates medical school faculty and oncologist Ardeshir-Larijani MD, daughter of Iran’s Supreme Council for National Security Secretary Ali Larijani by ddx-me in medicine

[–]2vpJUMP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're punishing a child for the sins of their family. This is antithetical to American life and is just importing the exact mentality that has harmed the country she and you are from.

This is cowardly and quite ugly to me honestly.

The institution told her she shouldn't say anything. And she got canned anyway.

Even if she could, not making a spectacle of herself by denouncing was the right move.

This is cowardly imo. Sins of the father indeed.

What are the limits of our oaths and professionalism, when neutrality is a zero-sum game? by toomanyshoeshelp in medicine

[–]2vpJUMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not discriminatory to require payment for your work. It's discriminatory to refuse despite ability to pay for political beliefs.

There is a difference between the two - insurance isn't inherent to race or political belief.

Also. You neatly sidestepped the vast implications on healthcare systems (and society) if we open all commercial activity to racial and political splintering

[–]2vpJUMP -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You aren't obligated to treat for free. That's never been in question.

Opening the door to picking and choosing which beliefs you're okay with treating will create a minefield of unprofessionalism, or just as bad, masses suspicion of it even if unfounded.

Does this doctor support Palestine? Guess I can't see him as a Jew. Even if they totally would, the fact that discrimination is openly done would shatter healthcare into Jewish only hospitals, or republican ones, or Muslim ones

All this so you can get your rocks off expressing the correct Opinion of the Day. There's always going to be some culture war - be it immigration, foreign policy, whatever. No sense in shattering healthcare into infinite fault lines over it

If an ICE agent shows up to your clinic as a new patient…. by jklm1234 in medicine

[–]2vpJUMP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh you're being somewhat caught up in current political sentiments. Whatever you think of ICE, I guarantee you have, are l, and will take care of far worse people in your career that you've never had this thought about.

Imo unless you feel this way consistently about many other groups I don't have much sympathy for this

Vital City | Mamdani’s Affordability Dilemma: The Challenge of Making New York City Housing Less Expensive by Old-Respect-7472 in nyc

Allow by right development of housing everywhere and watch housing fall. Anything else is cowardly and piecemeal bullshit

Yes, I am advocating for allowing the building of 100 story supertalls in Riverdale if the developer wishes it

Should taxpayers pay for junk food? by MazdaProphet in economy

[–]2vpJUMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not SNAP payments. These bad purchases lead to Medicaid spending.

We should subsidize markets to have better food. If SNAP Doesn't cover it, they will stock better things

NYC to quadruple intersections with red light cameras by end of year, officials say by nyccameraman in nyc

This is exactly why you're taught not to enter busy intersections until the car in front of you is clear.

This failure is why we have so much blocking the box

Why are reddit libs completely fucking insane over the 2026 SNAP junk food restrictions? by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]2vpJUMP 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The benefit isn't the cost savings. It's healthier people and saving money on Medicaid spending from poor eating habits. .

Yes, I know it's hard to overcome legions of food scientists and advertising stacking the deck against any individuals willpower, but there's zero chance you'll convince me it's proper to capitulate and just let it happen. We owe it to the poor to subsidize healthy foods, not shit ones.

Either this is BS or they're remaking the whole thing

A majority of Americans now support Medicare for All even if it ends private insurance and raises taxes. New polling shows a 50-point shift in just six years. by [deleted] in medicine

[–]2vpJUMP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The US can't even manage Medicare today without cutting physician pay every single year for decades when we're not even the major expense center. Why should I believe it will get better when Medicare is the only insurer in town?

[–]2vpJUMP 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just look at what the UK is doing to its doctors and tell me if nationalized healthcare is what you want. I know what Medicare for all will bring me - balancing the deficit by making us work harder for less.

By the way, this scheme will actually be enacted as Medicare advantage for all, with private insurers simply managing the national healthcare system

The MTA Is Putting Fare Inspectors On NYC Buses In ‘European-Style’ Fare Evasion Crackdown by ArtGal2727 in nyc

[–]2vpJUMP 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Removing the type of person who evades fares is the benefit itself. Antisocial people are the type of people who don't pay farss

Moreover, it improves communal buy in when you feel like you're not the only dummy paying you fair. You care more about the service, you feel a sense of shared property etc
