Just get an NHS, oh wait Americans don’t want taxes and would rather get fleeced when they stub their toe.
The irony is that the monthly insurance premiums that are paid are higher than the taxes would be.
They would have to spend like 1% less on bombs per year so that’s a no go.
Actually, with less money going to healthcare profiteers, they would be able to spend more money on bombs.
“Fuck them poor people! 😠” vs “Fuck them poor people 😎 #blm”

Ahh, so much better. Fuck them tankies
Silencing people’s speech because you disagree with them? Sounds kind of tankie to me
https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1120052 seems the tankies don’t sound like “tankies”?
It’s so fucking funny seeing some lib who didn’t know what hexbear was until like a week ago screeching about evil tankies in response to a relatively innocuous shitpost

Ahh, the screeching of authoritarians, to someone who just will never hear them. So wonderful
What do you mean both sides are the same? They are not. One is 6 and the other is 9.
Edit: I don’t mean it in a cynical way. Just that positioning matters in establishing truth. It is not just a matter of perspective (defined as subjective perception) but rather a matter of position (defined as inter-subjective agreement).
I agree there. This comic implies that both observers are correct because they are looking at the same thing from different angles; but that’s not how most political issues are. It doesn’t matter what your perspective on human rights is. If your perspective says human rights are not good: you’re wrong. It’s more akin to two people looking at the exact same thing, but one of them has glasses on that make them see ghosts and goblins that aren’t really there.
It’s actually pretty on point, but OP’s conclusion is off. People are discounting the amount of Americans that are just good with doing a bit of frontier surgery on themselves and calling it a day.
Yeah they have bad planning for the future during end-of-life care. But technically speaking it would cause them to pay more in the short term for little benefit.
It’s important to know that’s where the argument “it would cost me more” comes from. That way you can persuade more effectively.
Actually, the painter wrote a 6. They were commissioned to write a 6.
Fuck your perspective, people should consider the original intent and research rather than just argue about it. Calling it “free speech” doesnt make it right or moral.
Replace “original intent” with “context” and I agree 100% with you.
I think that this is important to point out because we don’t really have access to each other’s “intention” (whatever this means); at most what they say and do, and specially for politics there’s often a big mismatch between the alleged intentions of a policy vs. what the policy achieves.
Or, playing along the pic: if that random scribble is between a “5” and a “7”, then it means six, no matter if the author claims “actually it’s a nine”.
(NB: I’m discussing this on general grounds, based on the image. I’m not from USA nor discussing its healthcare.)
One dude sees a 6. One dude sees a 9.
I look at it and see a broken soda can tab.
