@NMerke It is inevitable, and the logic of still waiting comes from a time when repair rates were lower and surgical mortality was higher. If a young patient has asymptomatic (and un remodeled) severe MR, would favor immediate repair if success odds over 95 and mortality under 0.5
@ThinkingCC@McFaul You're full of moronic fallacies. Raising the cap for contributions to medicare or social security in the US, or slightly increasing the capital gains rate back to levels seen in the 80s or 90s doesn't prevent growth. It prevents the wealth inequality that led to the depression
@DoTheRightWing@RoKhanna Insurance premiums were already rising at a tremendous rate well before Obamacare. Conservatives in both parties stopped a single payer system. 10yrs post ACA uninsured rate went from 14.4% to 7.9%. GTFO with your nonsense
@stefentx@TeamOssoff It's a conflict of interest for the US to take any stake in the company regardless of whether the failsons' investment was passive, you stupid disingenuous cunt.
@PulmCrit The unceasing and thoughtless push toward maximal minimalism in critical care has become absolutely unhinged. Sometimes less is actually less.
@heffersonmal@ChrisMurphyCT He's paying himself and his friends, you fucking maga retard. Just like when he was on the lawn of the WH with Elon telling everyone to buy a Tesla
There were only 4 of us, Republicans, that signed the discharge petition to force the vote to release the Epstein files.
Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert, and myself.
Trump has come after us one by one ever since then.
The President told Speaker Johnson not to allow the vote to happen, but we courageously went against the President and refused to budge and overrode the Speaker to force the vote on record.
It was only when all Members of Congress had to vote on record did Republicans finally find their intestinal fortitude to do the right thing and vote YES to release the files.
Until then, they were absurdly obedient to the President who was doing everything in his reign of terror to hold them back.
Even now, all the files are still not released, and the Epstein class remains protected.
Wars are being waged, the markets are being manipulated, and the average American is being driven further into ruin while the Epstein class reigns and has yet to face any accountability.
I will never regret signing that discharge petition, refusing to back down, and resigning as I want nothing to do with a President and a Party that bows to the Epstein class.
@jbletlow Trump is a corrupt pedophile and your support for him is embarrassing. He's enriched himself and his family to the tune of billions of dollars while in office. Shame.
