Necromancer dancing in my ass, apropos

If you want it lighter, add a bit of cream during the last 15 minutes of simmering it.

Is this a new version of “slamming” someone?

Looks like a fun little trail, bet the view up there is amazing

I imagine even if he dies during the term republican leadership will Weekend at Bernies him for the remainder of the term to continue to use him as a scapegoat for all the evil shit they want to do.

Which a stock market crash does in the long term. They are better positioned to weather a recession then anyone else and during a recession there is ample opportunities to buy property and ownership from those that couldn’t weather it, further centralized wealth among the billionaires. In another way, think of covid, did you see many huge corporations go out of business? No, but i know a ton of small businesses that couldn’t weather the storm and went out of business, guess who gets to replace them when consumers look for their wares.

Amen, same state where the governor is stalling a special election for an open US representative position because the district is left leaning

Left reddit during the api snapfu as well, been mainly a lurker with a few comments, but I’m definitely glad I made the shift, everything feels better here for a social environment. The only thing I go back to reddit for is the porn haha. (Which lemmynsfw instance is slowly catching up on)

That’s the joke.

you can’t. they can.

I have some kudzu i could sell you

They’re saying if you were the only holdup it doesn’t matter. If enough of your semi-close relatives submitted their DNA, yours can be extrapolated reasonably accurately from that.

The insurance system does not work in the medical field, it would never work because insurance is for managing risks that are unknown, like a house flooding or your car getting hit in an intersection.

In medical “insurance” it is often dealing with known issues, and the insurance system is just not set up to deal with preventative care, annual check ups, mammograms, blood tests, or pre-existing conditions. It would be like trying to use car insurance to pay for an oil change, which is just as ridiculous as it sounds in your head.

That’s exactly why the term “insurance” should be used when discussing a single payer system, it’s not really insurance, it should be a collective action group that works together with the medical community to find a middle ground where hospitals can still exist and pay wages to their staff, the people can get the medical care they need without getting thrown into poverty for daring to get sick, and the government benefits from having a healthier population as a whole.

Too bad theres way too much money in the short term in keeping this all private, and having a sicker population, so we have decades of insurance company propaganda to work against, and a huge population of people that don’t understand that by doing single payer health care your taxes would go up, but you also wouldn’t be paying out the nose for medical insurance & medical care (because they don’t cover anything). Also think of a world where your health care isn’t beholden to your employment, all the different choices you’d make in your life.
