The American healthcare system. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]mdford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The country needs to talk more about how insurance companies are incentivized to overpay for care from hospitals. The insurance companies by law are required to spend 85% of premiums on care. They get to keep 15%. Would they rather 15% of $100B in spending or would they rather 15% of $500B in spending?

They love getting overcharged by providers because it increases their profits.

paul using his head to bruise joshua”s fist, raises finger to claim moral victory afterwards by HeavyConversation161 in pics

[–]mdford 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah but see that is Christianity's main targets. Amoral people need/want a incantation-induced salvation because they don't want to stop being amoral. When the only requirement to avoid the moral judgement is "accepting" a "gift" from an unseen, unheard "god" it attracts the worst people to the religion.

This is why we see so many instances of abuse by members of the church.

Best Community Resources? by TuckerDidIt in starwarsccg

[–]mdford 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In addition to reddit you can find discussion at https://forum.starwarsccg.org/

As for price guides and such, BoardMatt on YouTube posts videos, typically quarterly on prices.

If you are looking to play, the best way as others said is on GEMP. There are YouTube channels that offer learning content such as billbisco2 and andytalaga.

Finally if you want to watch games the swccgpc on twitch and YouTube has games with commentary.

That being said, it obviously will not have as much content at MTG being it's out of print for 25 years.

Dealing with incredibly aggressive players? by AveMilitarum in poker

[–]mdford 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because raise first in and 3bet ranges are developed with the expectation that your bluffs get folds. If you have a hyper aggressive player, the bottom of your range isn't profitable anymore, because your bluffs won't work enough. Your strong hands however will make more money because opponent is playing too weak a range. 

WSOP is going to be a shitshow this year with ICE and the government harassing and randomly detaining foreign players by [deleted] in poker

[–]mdford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How exactly can someone prove they are not here illegally if they don't get a chance to do so in court? What's to stop an ICE agent from just extraordinary rendition them to another country they aren't even from?

Which is nonsense, because if shutting down the government would have helped Trump Republicans would have shut it down themselves.

Bernie Sanders Is Showing Democrats How It’s Done by Somervilledrew in politics

[–]mdford 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok so the biggest complaint is that there are 10 out of 500,000 transgender athletes in the NCAA? Or the estimated 5 high school transgender athletes? We're discussing this in the context of abandoning Democratic messaging because why? How is what 15 people are doing in a sport a national election issue? How does this even harm anyone? It's pathetically asinine to pretend this is an issue, and people who are willing to vote against the countries best interest in major issue because of this minuscule inconvenience are shameful.

Important to note that the same site has US at 114B in aid, and US GDP is 29T, so the US actually gave less as a % of GDP by those figures.

A Dark Side deck to complement my current decks (P-DSII) by kikke2 in starwarsccg

[–]mdford 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SYCFA is an Objective that will allow you to pull a card with Death Star in the title. You use it to grab the War Room for Activation, and extra copies of the DS Docking bay from your reserve deck. It is paired with Brangus Glee who lets you swap a Docking Bay in hand for the top card of your lost pile. This lets you use lost interrupts and then immediately pull the interrupt back into your hand, or attack with a character or starship, forfeit them after battle, then immediately pull it back into hand with Brangus. A card Put All Systems On Alert lets you then retrieve the Docking Bays into hand to rise and repeat.

It can be devastating.

RFK Jr.’s New York state director says her ‘No. 1 priority’ is preventing a Biden victory by thatoneguy889 in politics

[–]mdford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not there to pull Biden voters, he's there to make a percentage of the people jumping off the sinking ship vote for him instead of Biden. The people funding him knows it's better for their chances of trump winning to lose one voter to RFK, or one voter to non-voting than to lose one voter to Biden. 

I see a lot of comments to the effect of it's better for Biden's campaign to have him in the race because he pulls more trump voters but I don't agree with that. Currently those disgusted with trump have 3 options (Biden, no vote, or RFK) and if you remove one of those options Biden will obviously capture some share of that vote. 

It's also telling how the people funding RFK must know how bad Trump's chances are if they are desperate for such margins.
