Omerta

Most people blame technology like it's the lefts mexican. There's no way it will be a living wage. If you want to bankrupt the economy, make that happen. I could definitely seeing it hurt children though. Right now we have so many programs to help kids specifically, I would hate to give free will to a shitty parent who doesn't spend it on their kids. If their not shitty then the current programs work fine for the kids imo.

This right here is why the left is as bad as the right. You talk about the right fear-mongering, this is the lefts big bullshit lie. There are not many studies that say technology is going to hurt this country more than help, as opposed to the MASSIVE amounts of studies who say it will take jobs but create more. The most outrageous is a celebrity "futurist" Thomas Frey who provides no mathematical basis or forecasting for his inflammatory billion job number he pulled out of his ass in an off the cuff comment at a speaking engagement. So what would I do? Stop scaring the shit out of people over shit that most likely will not happen according to almost all of the economic forecasting models and study banks that have no political bias lol. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/11/29/automation-could-kill-73-million-u-s-jobs-2030/899878001/ https://www.technologyreview.com/s/610005/every-study-we-could-find-on-what-automation-will-do-to-jobs-in-one-chart/ Those are some of the most recent one the floor and doin ones are from 2013 and 2015. Now that we see what technology is doing the only people left scared are on the left. Of course we can't wait and see. We have to say a BOOMING economy is going to shit and everyone is going to lose their jobs. The left is disgusting, just as much as the right as far as far mongering. The right tells you Mexicans are bad, and the left says technology. Fuck them both.

I HATE the idea of UBI

I'm with you, I'm probably very close to center. Where I differ is I don't think it's a vocal minority. I think most are pretty far either way, they are just quiet. I think both sides are so far beyond retarded it is baffling people elect them. How are McConnel and Feinstein still in Congress? It's baffling. Quite possibly the two biggest idiots in their respective sides.

I think if your primarily a runner sure. If your dual threat they can scheme you open. That is why all of the balls ahead of him are dual threats. Sure you can put 8 in and stack the box, but if he likes up wide in the slot your covering him with a linebacker now, or safety. I'm not saying he isn't good, just not as good as Kamara imo. Everything CMC does Kamara can do just a little better, except for balance, nobody can touch Kamaras balance.

He was bad but that o line is historically bad and they still didn't feed him The weapons thing goes both ways imo. CMC is going to get FED, like he is now. Kamara has to split touches with 3 other playmakers.

The problem is injuries imo. If Healthy David Johnson is as good if not better than anyone there. Same with Gurley. So you could argue if everyone is healthy CMC is 7. That said we don't live in that world so at this point I can't put him lower than 4. Zeke, Kamara, and saquon got him imo. I haven't seen the Sam hell but if he returns to for than yeah he is 5.

I get people wanting to believe her, especially people on the left. That said, to remember literally NOTHING with accuracy. It's odd to me that no evidence had become evidence in the court of public opinion. I also have to disagree about a burden of proof too. This thread is exactly why. Why are we trying to ruin a man's career over something there is no proof for ? Saying," Well he sure seems like the kind of guy" is the same reason black people are treated unfairly by SOME cops. Those cops are the," They seem like trouble" type without knowing them. Most people only know him through people trying to slander him. If you judge him on the things you can prove, he's not a bad guy. I get a bad vibe from him, but my vibes have been wrong before so I wouldn't feel comfortable saying that about his character. I think you also need to have proof because this believe all women shit has gotten out of hand. Women can now character assassinate people and be caught, and they can say well I must have misremembered band the retraction of the story gets less than one 10th the attention the accusation does. We have to be careful about these things. All I am saying is it is not unreasonable to think Blasey-Ford is full of shit. She may be burying the memories, and that is the lens you look through if you want to believe. Or it never happened and she is making it up and can't remember details because if that. That is the lens I see it from. Not remembering how many guys in the room, not remembering how old, what year, what house, any of that. But, somehow being able to remember which friends were there when they don't, and the coup de grace imo, emphatically remembering you only had one beer. You can't remember shit else but the one thing that would make you look like a typical lush teenager and cast doubt on your story, you emphatically remember? It just seems to convenient, doesn't it? I am not saying he will make a good justice. I am saying Trump would have got another guy, and this would probably happen to him. The next conservative judge will probably have this happen to him as well. What I am saying is the logic you use of where there is smoke there is fire, can be applied to Blasey-Ford and bullshit. There is evidence she at the very least has no idea what happened. Also something stinks here and it's not just Kavanaugh, if it's him at all.

In this case it's hard to prove. In the cases it's not, we could clear out a lot of the prison population tomorrow if we rounded up rapists and child molesters and merc'ed their punk ass's.

I didn't believe Blasey-Ford either. It's just seemed so forced. A few things that bothered me. 1.) The $750,000 she got on suspicious gonfund me with plenty of deep pocketed "anonymous" donors. That is suspicious, but ok. 2.) She can't recall the most basic of things. She is not sure what year it happened, or what grade she was in, or how old she was. I mean really? The most traumatic event if her life and she can't give you the year or her age? Super suspect. 3.) There is literally no coroborating evidence, no witnesses who were there, she didn't tell anyone until 3 decades later. The no evidence is a problem. That said the waiting I could understand. Her reason though was because she didn't want him in the supreme Court, but she let a rapist sit there on the bench for 20 years and say nothing when she felt compelled by virtue to help other women? That seems odd. The lifelong friends she says was there, has no idea what she is talking about. The other witnesses she called... No idea. 4.) Her story changes a lot. She said talk to her shrink but the story her shrink documented was different from the one Congress got. She got the men in the room wrong, her age, and other pertinent details. She said she was angry in 2016 when Trump won because Kavanaugh was mentioned as a candidate. Well sure, but he wasn't mentioned or added to the list until mid 2017. Her claiming she was claustrophobic but an ex says he never noticed especially when they were on a 2 seater plane to Hawaii and countless other occasions. 5.) Her own family won't come back to attest to her character when she was coming out talking about her impeccable character. The ONLY family that did were her current husband's. It is telling imo. Now any one or two of these on there own, and sure it suspicious but no big deal. All of those combined and AT THE VERY LEAST she is unreliable. Personally, I think she is lying about it. That obviously doesn't mean I'm right but her evidence of the actual alleged crime was very weak. And yes the guy is a douche, but I think the standard of proof has to be met seeing as how unimaginably foul rape is. If there is some ACTUAL proof he did it, then fuck jailing him, blow his brains out in the middle of the street.

Did you see the statement they NYT made about the "victims"? The friends that was there allegedly said she doesn't remember anything that lady is saying. And she refused to be interviewed so formal charges could be brought up, and won't talk to anyone? ALL of the friends whom she cited as coroborating witness to a person says they don't recall the incident.

Well if it's any solace, she will lose too.

Yeah I used to believe in Warren, but she has ZERO charisma or original ideas. She would get wrecked imo.

There is actually more than one source, but yes the AMA is one. The NAIC is another, there are a couple others. No bullshit question, did you actually read the report? The reason it took me so long to reply is because I did so I don't waste your time. First and foremost that study says 1 in 10 get denied. So ten percent. Then of those 40 percent appeal. So 60 don't, so there is 6% of claims. Of the 40 that appeal half are denied. So we have the 6 plus the 2 of the 4 denied. So 8% are denied by the study you cited. Then there is the methodology of this study. They literally cite nothing but medical statistics and none of which are about insurance claims. They say things like," Preventative care is up to a 3rd cheaper." Which on its face is true, but tell us what preventable disease. Are we talking heart disease brought on by obesity ? Are we talking lung cancer by a smoker? They have no specifics. So your study undermines what your saying. Do you have a better one? I will read that too. The one you got your statistics from is 31 pages of generalizations and stats they don't cite where they get most.

It's not really the hospital, or insurance. I mean it is but it is the suppliers. The people who make these products are the real problem. I only know this to be true because I saw an invoice once. You and I buy a splint that is bad ass for what? 5 bucks maybe??? Medline charges over 15 times that. A banana bag that tages $6 to make. Over 100. I mean the hospital makes there's to be sure, but these medical supply people are the biggest fucking crooks imo. And the insurance thing is barely overblown by anecdotal evidence. Only 14% of claims are denied which is a far cry from lunacy.

I think you misunderstood my intent. When I say people expect free, I am saying people truly have no idea what medical things cost. So when they get the bill, they say things like,"It shouldn't cost that much, it's just (insert procedure)" people have no earthly clue what things cost, so they have unrealistic expectations some of that 14% of the time. And that glosses over the point that insurance is not these demons people say they are and that is taking every complaint as fact that it happened exactly as the person making the complaint says. And if you don't want to continue that's fine with me. We both knew going in we don't agree on insurance/healthcare.

Its absolutely anecdotal. only 14% of claims are denied. another 14% say they were offered to little, but I mean people expect free so of course. So under the ABSOLUTE WORST 28% of people get teh shaft with only 14% getting denied that is what the numbers bear out. Burden of proof should be on the doctor. Insurance companies arent doctors so their can be a difference between someone having a 100 pound tapeworm is just someone who does not take care of themselves. I call bs on your claim it is money lol. My wife is from a poor farming town in Nebraska, she had ZERO fucking money. I am pretty sure her 3rd year of college when her mom died of OVarian cancer they were bankrupt. And sure so it is still not a money issue. IT is a you know being able to be a doctor issue. IF we are being real, not everyone can be a doctor, so you have to be realistic with your expectations of yourself. If there is a question of whether you can do it or not, dont. Which is why the pay is what it is. IF you yourself just said most dont because they would fail and dont want the bill supply and demand says the ones who can need to be properly compensated. Exactly. That last statement is exactly what I said. They are a bad bet. I disagree with your position on mandatory organ donation as well. That is some midevil shit yo, people waiting for you to die to get your organs lol.

gaslight [ˈɡaslīt]VERB gaslighting (present participle) 1.)manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity. No I cant stand either side. And how do I know none of the rest of the people running are complete morons? This is a legit question because I think bernie, Kamala, Warren, are of average intelligence, Biden is certainly below at the moment, Im not sure where to put Yang because he says really dumb shit for a smart person. The GOP-yeah they are all stupid. I do like Dan Crenshaw though. If there was a veteran exemption and taking it away from people who arent trained THEN MAYBE, but I am sure there are civilians out there who are qualified and I dont think his rights are any less important than mine. So if neither party is particular intelligent and one party cant stand me because I am a straight, white, rich, male why do they deserve my vote over teh idiot bully who wants one more person in his gang? This encompasses the entire problem. Neither party is doing anything to earn my vote. It would cost FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR more than 10 to 15%. Anybody who tells you that is full of shit. Consider this, North CArolina thought about single payer, once the person who proposed it figured out how much it would cost, they killed their own bill. IT would have been twice the state budget. California had it on the table, until they realized it would cost 400 billion dollars. The medicare tax we pay right now is projected to run out 3 years faster than we thought so taxes for it are going to increase it now to cover the small percentage it covers now. We are struggling to pay for "Medicare for Some" what do you think "Medicare for All" is going to cost. AS for the hospital stays or the $27000 dollar ER visit when nothing was done, or the insulin, none of those are doctors. The funny part is the thing you listed that does require a doctor was the cheapest thing you mentioned with having a baby. That should tell you doctors are not the problem. I have given you 5 ways we could cut our medical expenses by 60%, and could actually be done by the president alone, but you still want to have a medicare for all system we cant pay for. AS for the insurance company just trying to get out of paying the claim, is anecdotal evidence on your part that there is no proof of other than people who who say that stuff. The only time that is true is when you go out of network, but as far as you getting sick, going to the doctor and that dirty insurance guy trying to stiff you is more fantasy than fact, although it does happen. You know what also makes a healthy population, non smoker, non alcoholics, and people who dont eat themselves into oblivion. 40% of the country is obese. Roughly 20% are smokers, and 15 million people are alcoholics. That shit is expensive in the long run, so if you have a medicare for all that requires people to make progress on that before we foot the bill for the literal *THOUSANDS* of diseases those things cause. I am not down for paying for peoples poor choices. I shouldnt have to pay for your lung cancer when you have smoked for 40 years. I shouldnt have to pay for your heart transplant, when you have been obese because you refuse to change your lifestyle. Ironically they dont give obese people hearts and do you know why, because medical professionals realize they are a bad bet. Now this isnt to be a dick, if you are happy being fat, man, do you. You want to smoke a pack a day, do you, but people shouldnt have to pay the consequences of your shit choices. If you want to exclude self inflicted medical conditions then we can start talking medicare for the rest. Most people dont do medical school because of the cost of being a doctor. It is a well known fact being a doctor more than pays for itself. It is the AT MINIMUM 12 year commitment in most cases that turns people off. IF you want to be a surgeon add 3 years. Most people dont want a 20 year commitment. Most people would take a 4 year degree that would run up 800 in debt if after that 4 years they were making close to 500K . The math is simple, it is the commitment. So it is not a money thing in most cases. Nobody has a great healthcare system right now. Ill take my plan over medicare for all.

Ok I'll stop hyperbolizing if you do. AOC scares nobody, or at least shouldn't. She is a fucking moron. Did you read the green new deal? I did. It is the most hilarious comedy script I have ever seen. I absolutely used gaslighting correctly. You are implying I would be crazy to be ardently opposed to Yang. I am not. I would be voting against my own self interest. So we should just talk about climate change? There is too much talk. That's all the Paris agreement is. This isn't a problem for politicians to solve. It is a problem climatologists solve and politicians ruthlessly implement. But they won't because ALL OF THEM are bought orbwe would have a solution by now. Don't think for a second this is something Dems are serious about.

I have zero empathy versus people who don't care how their bullshit effects me. Pot meet kettle. There is a zero sum game here. Once you begin trying to take things that belong to me two things can happen. I let it happen and hope you make good on your promise to help the whole wide world. Historically this has never worked no matter how much we try. More money to the government means worse deficits, history shows this with a 100% certainty. Or I fight back with my money and my vote and wait until a more sensible solution or candidate is found. And don't gaslight me with this climate change shit. It's a problem and there are Republicans who acknowledge it. None of them are running for president, but looking at the numbers if America is the only country to drop out of the Paris agreement we will be responsible for .3 Celsius in 2100. Yes I'm willing to make sure my kids don't become destitute so we can all feel good about sticking it to millionaires because,"yay liberalism" for something that won't be solved with any bullshit proposal out their right now. ESPECIALLY considering the people who are proposing these are so fucking stupid it is bewildering. When they rubber stamp a plan from Broecker, Mann, or Hansen then I'm listening. But when we have a dumbass like AOC writing shit....fuck that. Show me an actual commitment instead of just more political handwringing. And how does my AR contribute to climate change lol? Are they that powerful now?

Why should I care about them. It is obvious they don't care about me. People shouldn't ask for what they are not willing to give. So new doctors will join a profession where the make half of their contemporaries? Ha, yeah. That will happen.

I absolutely would. I don't understand why keeping what is granted to me in the bill of rights, and wanting to my wife to reap the benefits of her 2 decades of school is an odd priority. The fact a bunch of liberal douchebags think she shouldn't disgusts me. To the point I will make a deal with the devil just to give them the finger. You know we always talk about the American dream dying, and a part of it nobody talks about is because all these socialist cunts take from people in the middle class who have lived their life right just to give it to somebody else. It's bullshit and I will bit Republican the rest of my days until the Democrats unfuck themselves. Sure I am biased but my wife has worked harder than any motherfucker here or running for president to get where she is at and it's appaling to hear how many people think she should be penalized for it.

The only part Yang has right about healthcare is that he will keep private insurance around. He is hoping nobody will use it but when all the best doctors are in the private sector it won't be a mystery. He can get fucked.

The insane cost of healthcare can be dealt with in so many other areas than fucking with a doctor salary. There are 2 reasons doctors in this country deserve to make what they make. Theyre better. You pay more for top talent, it is that simple. The second is because their college costs more than any other profession. I had to pay down 800k in school when it was all said and done. Now that we benefit this greedy cocksucker decides she is overpaid? Fuck him. I'll vote Republican before I vote for this douche bag.

This should NEVER, and I mean NEVER happen. If certain hospitals want to do it, that is fine because their is options in the marketplace and they are still choosing to work there A president SHOULD NEVER mess with the wages of specific occupations, or any occupation other than minimum wage, and even the president can't do that. He is talking massive over reach here. The more I read about Yang the more I can't stand his policy.
