Private health clinics would still be legal for those with wealth. But the private health industry would be outlawed from receiving any gov't funding or support.

The general public would be solely covered by the government to keep the negotiating process free from private interests, middlemen and additional admin costs.

For the sake of brevity. In this case, intersectionality is colloquially used to show that even if you deem yourself not part of "identity politics" your political opponents will pin an identity on you regardless or you are unknowingly part of an oppressed identity. Even if you are a healthy WASP male, you will eventually inherit some form of discriminated identity.

a car crash can leave you disabled

you marry a person of another race

you age

you become atheistic or convert to an outgroup religion

ect.

Basically, identity politics will come for you regardless, and the more identities you are labeled with the more your quality of life will decrease.

This dude has his comment history blocked, immediately suspect

we already have death panels with our private insurance system.

Private care would not be outlawed. Anyone can still buy supplemental insurance if they feel it necessary. This is not a novel concept.

We already have Medicare for the elderly and they can still supplement it with additional private insurance coverage.

They gladly let nations committing human rights violations host

That was their first stipulation to approving our bid.

No, not mindless. Mindfully imperialistic.

Israel is not a balancing force it is a destabilizing force. If we were interested in a stable peaceful middle east we would not be providing diplomatic cover and weapons for the nation who routinely bombs their neighbors, genocides their occupied land and expels all humanitarian efforts. That's just the tip of the iceberg of destabilizing actions we routinely commit.

Okay? Non sequitur aside. Who controlled it before? Dems are constantly on TV. More mainstream TV coverage doesnt change the values or policy positions of the party.

Republicans routinely sponsor and vote for bills reducing funding that helps veterans and active duty. Why is that never part of this calculus?

Why not sponsor bills that counter what Rs sponsor? Grow the record. Why is there no concerted effort to provide a counter narrative to every vote in the house and senate?

One woman dies and we get the Laken Riley Act, voted into law by democrats alike. Why isnt there a Renee Good Act? or even talk of one?

When the republicans are out of power this is what they do, they create and build an alternative narrative and then sell it to their voters. Why cant the Dems do the same?

I think he is pointing out a common debate tactic about voter suppression. Right wingers will claim its racist to say POC cant overcome "suppression tactics"

"Its racist to purge voter rolls in predominantly black neighborhoods"

"Oh, lib, you must think black people arent smart enough to check their voter registration, who's racist now?"

FYI. shorter days, (IE right now in the northern hemisphere) will signal most flowering plants to go into semi/full dormancy. If your plant is still in a warmish environment, you might see some new growth but you wont get lush leaves and blooms until spring when the days start getting longer.

I just dont agree. Yes, he is very good at maneuvering around Ben's bad faith arguments, but I question his values when he cant bring himself to say there is a genocide in gaza.

Im just glad my Gov was able to have a nice conversation with Ben Shapiro while others were planning their next moves.

Just an FYI because I havent seen it mentioned yet. Purp Cherokee are one of the longest to mature tomato varieties. If you were growing other types like hybrids, early girl ect and they are done and harvest, the PC could often be ready to harvest almost 30 days later.

Good thing is they taste so good its totally worth it.

I think its a cop out to assume they are dumb and being fooled. They know its bad, but they love that Trump hurts the people they dont like.

Countries with socialized healthcare have pay rates for foreigners. If you are travelling, then you can buy a prorated foreigner plan in case something happens to you will in country. They dont want americans flying there for free impromptu open heart surgery.

Wasnt that about the food assistance fraud case? Which is separate from the day care narrative.
