we are a nation of idiots.

yeah, boycott the one thing that might save your life. That makes total fucking sense.

@creativedragonbaby all the more reason healthcare should be socialized and considered a right.

Nah... saying "I am Groot" in like 127 languages and a bunch of different inflections. I don't care that it's 3 words, it's really amazing when you think about it.

The Predator sounds dope AF.... top 5 movies after BP and IW. I hope Jurassic World 2 doesn't suck :/

@smitty 100% on point. Although that first day when everyone freaks out that they can't access their email and have no idea why will be, sadly, hilarious.

it's an amphetamine. It makes you super focused and full of energy. It's also one of the worst chemicals you could ever put inside you without immediately dying.... like if you don't pop 20 of em.

whhhhhaaaat the fuck lol

@guest_ It will never be fair... some people will die of natural causes and never need healthcare. Some people will have a work accident that sends a nail through their spinal column, some will develop leukemia. It's about the collective health of our society.
Some people swim at public pools more than others. The same percent of your taxes are going to those public pools as the next guy, unless you have an effective zero tax rate or are in the negative.

I hate the scaling argument. If it works for 30 mil people, the same system will work for 300 mil. It's just linear scaling; if anything it will be slightly cheaper for 300 mil because overhead doesn't scale the same. The real issue with implementing it in the US is getting 50 states to agree.

fucking xenomorphs man, can't shake em.

The problem is, only someone like Elon, Gates or Bezos would have the capital to even begin building something like that, then what is stopping them from putting their own sanctions on their service?

unpasteurized? or... pasteurized.... when it's after.

Anyway, for the other point... The government's first job is to protect the people, correct, but in the US that doesn't mean giving up liberties, it was kind of first meant to streamline the logistics of resource allocation so we could best protect ourselves and interests... we kinda fucked that up.

Carson may be a great surgeon, and he should have stuck with that, but otherwise he's is a complete moron. He's like the poster boy for specialized intelligence.
And can someone please fucking explain to me how a neurosurgeon became Secretary of Housing and Urban Development? Literally the only relationship between the two I can see is highways can be metaphorical for neuro-pathways (even then that's a stretch, since neuro-pathways can go in many different directions at once).
