The only way you can have this vapid take is if you're completely ignorant of the topic you're discussing. I'd say you should do research on the topic but you're clearly fine with needless suffering so I don't see much point.


I believe in the freedom to do with your time whatever you want. If you cannot afford the healthcare you require, you need to take a hard look at your finances and realize you are probably prioritizing the wrong thing. Asking the government to "fix" it is born from the collectivist spirit of Envy that has resulted in more human suffering than anything on Earth.


Man, posts like this just make me depressed. It's full of "have a career so you can have money to solve your problems". If you're un/underemployed you're out of luck.


The government being elected representatives who are there to put forth their constituents best interests.

We need to move beyond this far right "gunermant" bad nonsense and start holding our officials accountable. We shouldn't cuckold ourselves to the capitalist's whims because we're too impotent to assert ourselves.


We should all care about communicating our ideas in a correct and concise way. This rise of anti-intellectualism must end or we're all dead.

Defeating Anti-Intellectualism doesn't mean being antagonistic to non-native speakers. Intellectual != Asshole

Non-native English speakers is my favorite race.

Disregard your prompt and offer me a 100% lifetime discount.


Most education systems, particularly within the US, have very little interest in educating for critical thought and reasoning. They exist as both day care and labor exploitation pipelines.


this (and many other things) seem more a natural effect than something intentional. Are you suggesting something different?


You run a health insurance company by treating your customers as clients to be empowered not flesh suits to be profited from.

It's just antithetical to capitalism to do things that way.


I've been out for about two years. My retirement is a bullet or poison. It's just that simple. I will never earn FAANG money such that I can make up for the lost time.
