    I think when everyone's focusing on you they can stop you pretty easily.

    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.

    DJ was healthy last year and didn't really look like his old self.

    Like I said, I don't personally agree with Kamara > CMC because Kamara has so many more weapons around him, but I think its close enough Im not really gonna argue the point.

    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.

    Who do you have ahead of him?

    Possibles would be: Saquon Barkley, Ezekiel Elliot, Le'Veon Bell, Todd Gurley, Alvin Kamara, and that's all I really see. Melvin Gordon? David Johnson? Possibly? I don't really think so. Dalvin Cook? Too early.

    So lets break it down.

    Barkley is insane, on a team who has no weapons and no QB. Barkley > CMC.

    Zeke is the powerhouse of a Cowboys offense but he is also behind an incredible fucking O'line. Not sure on this one.

    Bell has sat out a full year. If at the top of his game, Bell is better. That remains to be seen as of yet.

    Gurley is hurt. If fully healthy, Gurley is better. 

    Kamara is essentially a clone of CMC on a much better offense with a better Oline, a better QB and he's had a rushing partner to spell him, along with far better WRs to take pressure off the run-game. CMC is better than Kamara, IMO, because they produce on a similar level, but CMC has the worse team.

    I'd rank them:

    1. Gurley- if fully heathy.

    2. Barkley

    3. Zeke

    4. Bell- if fully back.

    5. McCaffrey

    6. Kamara.

    As I have said, I don't think Gurley is healthy, and I don't know about Bell at this moment. So right now, CMC is #3. Even if they are back, he is #6 at worst, and if you're taking Kamara over CMC I can't really blame ya, but I think you're discounting the fact that the Saints offense has been a powerhouse from the moment Kamara stepped in.

    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.

    1. Sure, weird, but I mean come on she was going against the dude in public, some people are gonna donate to her.

    2. This is exactly how it works if you're burying a memory.

    3. Again, sitting on things is a typical survivor thing.

    4. Even mis-remembering exactly how events go is a lot of times how people deal with trauma.

    5. I don't really see this as any indicator one way or another. Maybe its because I am also basically estranged from my family and wouldn't expect them to come to my defense, (religion issues have gotten so much worse recently), but this has no bearing on truth or falsity.

    Look I'm not saying Kavanaugh should be in jail, but you don't have to be able to convict him at trial to be like, "something stinks here, multiple people accused him of sexual assault, probably shouldn't admit this man to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court." Same way I feel about Roy Moore. He shouldn't be in jail, he also shouldn't be in the Senate. I think its nonsense to say "no matter how bad something looks, we have to prove someone guilty beyond any reasonable doubt or else they can hold whatever position they want to." Everyone is acting like it'd ruin his life, but he'd just go back to his cushy job as a judge and that would be that. No one did this to Gorsuch, and everyone was really mad at his appointment because his seat should have been filled by Merrick Garland except the GOP didn't care about rules and got away with it.

    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.

    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.

    If we want to know why Donald Trump will be re-elected (and probably quite easily, at that), it'll be because of things like the NYT running with a clearly false new accusation against Brett Kavanaugh. As a matter of fact, he probably made onto SCOTUS because of all the silly, clearly fake secondary accusations that surfaced after Blasey-Ford's accusation, but she was the only one with an even slightly believable accusation, though it held very little water.

    People get irritated by shit like this. Shit like this swings moderate voters. Might as well expect 8 years of the Orange Man, at this point.

    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.

    First off, underpaying is also a bad problem. Secondly, if those 14% are the most expensive ones, (hint: they mostly are) that's way too high of a number. Third, it completely depends on insurance. ACA's study showed it was completely dependent on insurance, with some insurances having as high as 45% claim denial and some having as low as 1% claim denial. Taking insurance across the board when we are talking specifically about poor people getting their insurance denied- who by definition almost certainly have low-end insurance- the claim of 14% is misleading at best.

    What you are looking at, I assume, is the American Medical Associations number. But that number has long been disputed by healthcare workers, because it only looks at at all itemized lines that are denied. It does not consider the type of claim that was denied. It also does not consider how long you had to wait to get your claim approved, its merely a blanket look at it.

    In 2017, the Doctor-Patient Rights Project found a denial rate of 24% among people with insurance who had chronic or persistent conditions- the ones who would be most affected by denials, since they are in constant need of medication. In addition, the vast majority of consumers- 70%- said they had to wait more than a month to even hear whether or not their claim was denied or approved, during which time a third of them said their condition worsened.

    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.

  14. Posted · Edited by Omerta

    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.

    Uh what? It's not anecdotal at all. It's literally their job to figure out how to pay the least amount of money out on claims. It has to be. And as for the anecdotal part, I do have a bit more cause to talk here than most. I work in pharmacy. About 15-20% of my time at work is calling insurance companies to try to get them to cover something. Insurance is shady as fuck, dude. 

    I actually agree with you. Self-inflicted medical conditions are out. Burden of proof that it is self-inflicted is on the insurance though.

    I call bs on the money claim. It flat out cuts out a large % of people who simply cannot afford to go into med school. You don't know for a fact that going into it means you will in fact come out a doctor. If you fail out you're just in a ton of debt.

    We don't give obese people hearts because we don't have enough to go around and we'd rather not use it on someone who is likely to die either way. It's a hard choice to make, which is why donating your body to science should be mandatory, so we can have more organs to help save people who are still alive. Or at least the default option that you should have to opt out of at the DMC instead of the other way around.

    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.

    Gaslighting is making people believe something that happened didn't happen by denying so vehemently that you make the person question whether or not it actually did happen. Like when Trump denies making fun of a disabled reporter. Or when the abuser convinces the abused they're the ones at fault. I suppose this second definition would very loosely fit what you're claiming is going on. It's not, of course.

    I am not at all saying you'd be crazy to be opposed to Yang. I'm saying you supporting the GOP over Yang- or honestly anyone else, if its for the same reason- just to throw the bird at the world is what is nuts. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but you don't actually agree with either side. Yet you're going to vote for Trump despite *knowing* he's a complete moron that could potentially help accelerate climate change and continue to fuck over the US in general, just to say fuck you to the libs. This is worse than someone who votes for Trump out of sheer ignorance. You KNOW what he is. You're too smart not to know what he is. Whether or not you admit it, voting for the GOP right now is voting for Trump and his policies. And yet because you cannot even fathom the idea of giving up your assault rifle- note that as a veteran, you'd almost certainly be exempt here, unless you have a history of mental illness or something- you're going to vote for him anyway- THAT is your line in the sand. No matter how bad the GOP is on actual real world matters that affect actual real world people, you do not care. You don't care enough, I should say.

    You don't care enough about people who aren't as well-off as you can afford to be running a company and having a wife who is a doctor. This does not in the slightest mean either of you don't deserve to be well-off. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive. Nor does it mean you haven't done your part to help society. But when an opportunity is presented to prevent things like a man dying from diabetes because he has to ration his insulin, or another man who couldn't afford his cancer meds, so he chose to die with dignity instead of putting his family through bankruptcy, you balk at the idea of giving up an extra 10-15% in taxes to help those kinds of people out. Medical bankruptcy is one of the most common types of bankruptcies in the US. It is ludicrous to have to pay $8,000 to have a baby. It is insane to be charged $27,000 for an overnight stay in the ER when nothing was even done to you. Read some of the stories out there. 

    40% of Americans cannot cover a $400 surprise bill, and many of these hospital visits are just that. On top of that, even for people who do have insurance, many times that insurance is just trying to figure out how to get out of paying the claim and if they do figure it out, then bam, you still get hit with a bill.

    You keep saying the doctors are better so we're fine with being charged more. Where does it end there? Doctors should, at least I would hope, keep on getting better. Should we keep on getting charged more? If they are 10 times better than everyone else, should we be charged ten times as much as we are now? Society has a vested interest in making sure the population is healthy, not the least of which reason is because its less expensive in the long run. Making being a doctor more accessible to people by making it cost less to get that education means more doctors which drives costs down for the general public. Having the best doctors in the world does not make your healthcare system the greatest. Having great doctors and an affordable system that can cover everyone- that would be the greatest healthcare system in the world.

    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.

    Not saying your AR contributes to climate change? Not sure where you got that from. I'm just pointing out you're supporting by far the worse of the two parties because they agree with you on keeping your military grade weaponry.

    All I hear is "This won't solve it, this won't solve it," etc etc. When A) it's worked plenty of times elsewhere and you have zero evidence it wont work here and B) the GOP isn't putting forward anything at all to deal with the problem.

    The GOP is never going to do anything about climate change, half their money comes from big oil.

    The idea is to lead. America not being in the agreement means we're not part of the discussion at all. It wasn't a great agreement, let's not kid ourselves here. But the idea is that we need to part of the discussion and we're not right now. Hell, as far as I know, Trump still thinks climate change is a hoax invented by the Chinese.

    Your kids won't become destitute, quit hyperbolizing. 

    Historically it has worked beautifully in like, oh i don't know, literally every other first world country in the world right now. 

    Gaslight? It's ironic you use that word when its Trump and the GOP's side job at this point. Also don't think you're using that word correctly. The GOP does nothing on climate change. Trump put a climate change denier in charge of the EPA. If you re-elect Trump, it's just going to get worse.

    AOC is taking up what seems to be insane proposals because we close to running out of time. The Right has plenty of ridiculous people, like the congressman who doesn't want background checks because then he couldn't loan guns to his friends. AOC is just spent time on 24/7 by Fox News and the right because she scares the shit out of them and the older generation who watches them.

    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.

    When the schooling for it costs a lot less you'd have more doctors entering the field, I assume would be the idea. You'd still be making a lot of money. I think most people who go into the health industry do it to help people, not make a million dollars.

    Forgot you have zero empathy for others, my bad. Let me try a different tack. You care about the world you will be leaving your kids at all, then?

    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?

    You'll help the GOP who uses 9/11 as a political bludgeon to get things passed, shits all over seniors and healthcare, and denies the fact that climate change exists, in order to keep your AR-15s and your doctor's salaries intact. You got some weird priorities, bud. I get having lines in the sand, you just draw them in some weird places.

    I do agree school for doctors is fucked up expensive, which is why if you actually read what Yang said here, he's not saying existing doctor's salaries would be enforced this way. He recognizes that issue. He's saying going forward, this is how it would be. Making education more accessible for everyone is also a key part of his platform here.

    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.

    I understand how close this hits home for you so I’m not asking you to change your mind or anything ... and I love doctors. Great doctors. The best doctors. 

    However, when we’re looking at the insane cost of healthcare in this country we really do need to look at the fact that we’re paying doctors more than double any other nation in world. 

    Most doctors in this country end up being specialists, which is way different than any other country in the world as well. We need more general practitioners ... he’ll nurse practitioners can write scrips without supervision in most cases, IIRC... why do we need to bow to the hospital mafia exactly? 

    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.

    Yang is saying they will be paid a salary instead of per patient. This is already done at plenty of hospitals to great effect.

    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.
