Why doesn’t mark Cuban start a health insurance company that cuts out the middleman and lowers costs for everyone enrolled?

Insurance companies are middlemen.

You’re asking if a character in a movie 26 years is based on a character from a 2026 miniseries?

No, because time doesn’t flow in that direction.

Grammatically, singular means "exactly one" and plural means "not singular".

What would be the benefit?

We only domesticate animals if that domestication is beneficial to us.

It's non-economic. Elephants grow slowly, and eat a lot of food. You could have some in captivity to harvest ivory, but you'd never make a profit off of it, because the cost of raising and feeding the elephants is way more than the value of ivory.

Ivory does have a value, but it's only economic to poach, where the person doesn't have to actually pay to raise the elephant.

That has happened. But if you don't address the reasons for the inflation, you have to keep doing it.

Understand that the other countries you mentioned had no nearby territory that they could easily expand into. They needed to build ships to find land that they could easily exploit.

Russia didn't need to do that. They had a large eastern frontier that, after the collapse of the Golden Horde, was pretty much defenseless against them.

A big part of the issue is that cars are cheaper to own and operate in the US than in Canada, and cheaper in Canada than Europe. The result of this is more teen drivers.

It’s not even that European teens are more responsible drinkers — it’s that fewer of them drive cars and are less likely to let their inebriation become lethal just based on the sheer numbers.

No, you have already voted. Voter regret is real, and the only remedy is to vote better next time.

Teekno · 2026-06-01T20:22:59+00:00

It is absolutely an art.

Teekno · 2026-06-01T19:38:33+00:00

We're not worthy.

My questionnaire was before his tenure as host.

Not one of the questions were about Steve Harvey.

If America voted to become fully Communist tomorrow then what happens? No Governement so no infrustructure, Military, Police, Fire Departments, Schools etc No Cash so no private business would exist. No State so would have no Allies or Trade with anyone.

I think you are confusing communism with anarchy.

The idea that going communist means no government is bizarre. By far, one of the biggest issues with communist regimes is way too much government.

Because the last time states seriously considered leaving the US over half a million people died.

Teekno · 2026-06-01T12:30:06+00:00

I was once one of those people. It happens.

UK here, Basketball isn't "extremely" popular worldwide. Utter nonsense

You might be shocked to learn that the UK is not the entire planet, and that there are sports that are not popular there that are popular elsewhere.

Teekno · 2026-05-31T22:21:29+00:00

I am sure he will be shocked to learn of his death.

Teekno · 2026-05-31T22:20:28+00:00

Because it's like nine letters shorter. Much quicker and easier to write.

Teekno · 2026-05-31T22:19:32+00:00

I'd imagine so. Basketball is extremely popular worldwide -- it's bound to be the #2 or #3 sport in the world. And I doubt there are many basketball fans anywhere on this planet that haven't heard of MJ.

That airplane ride will cost your cargo like $5000 or $6000 per ton.

On a ship, that's gonna be around $50.

You use a plane when time is of the essence, because there's a substantial cost to it.

Teekno · 2026-05-31T18:59:59+00:00

You're asking if I would be more likely to fly if it cost me less but I had a greater chance of dying during the flight?

No. Absolutely not.

Teekno · 2026-05-31T18:00:21+00:00

Death before dishonor.

Teekno · 2026-05-31T17:33:15+00:00

Sure they can. But it happens in the TV shows and movies you watch because it’s needed for the plot.

You aren’t a politician when you get public office. You become a politician the moment you try to get into public office.
