@Bendardundat08@Lynyrds_Mom@RepAOC There is video of water being tapped, presumably from the source... Are you disputing the validity of this, like obvious insinuation of who I responded to, or are you being pedantic about who specifically tapped the water? Why aren't you answering this clear question?
@Bendardundat08@Lynyrds_Mom@RepAOC Are you disputing the validity of everyone involved in the video, or are you simply being pedantic about who specifically tapped the water she brought back to congress? This is a test of critical analysis.
@Lynyrds_Mom@RepAOC She did video tape it, with journalists. You're just either too lazy or too media illiterate to check. Or you are intentionally spreading misinfo, which would make you an objectively bad person... Shame on you, do better...
@JesseCox Definitely is a lot more nuanced than what he suggests. Shilling out streamers for biased game reviews would work a lot better if this was outright correct. That unfortunately is disingenuous and most emotionally mature viewers recognize that and get the ick.
@tobyw276@LeftyWinter Also, explain to me how a private system where the industry wants their cut can possibly be cheaper than a government option with no profit incentive? Do the math. Why are all these other governments paying less for their healthcare system while significantly more socialized?
@tobyw276@LeftyWinter Sicko came out in 2007. Just watch it if you have no memory of the old system that lead to the political will to pass the ACA. What I said about cost per capita has been true since the 80s, long before ACA. ACA was a shallow bandaid solution so things are back to where they were.
@BacklitInfinity@JesseCox@grok Second of all, diminishing returns is healthy for an economy when it comes to wealth accumulation. If instead you can exponentially grow wealth then the bottom starts to fall out.
@BacklitInfinity@JesseCox@grok First of all, I was responding to your lazy insinuation that we somehow can't impose wealth taxes simply because the wealth isn't held in cash.
Personally I think we should tax the shit out of unproductive liquid assets. Such as homes no one lives in or cars no one drives.
@FormagioPhalus@BacklitInfinity@JesseCox@grok So I assume you are all for trust busting? In order to have fair market competition so consumers have the option to not buy their products?
@BacklitInfinity@JesseCox@grok Bingo, now can you use your critical faculties to not take terms like "endless" literally when describing how billionaires can still use their wealth of assets to continue to accrue more wealth by saddling the primary risks to their companies rather than their personal liability?
@tobyw276@LeftyWinter Also, Obamacare was passed because we were in a similar situation as we are today. Things were worse before the ACA than immediately after. Unfortunately it was a shallow band-aid solution that didn't actually address the fundamental problem.
@tobyw276@LeftyWinter Middle men, private profit. Most countries don't have a profit incentive to make the system as inefficient as possible for the end user.
