It has been years since I have read about it. I can’t find it now either. However, my search did mention that having single payer healthcare will cost California $500 billion annually, double the state’s entire annual budget as of 2024. https://www.wordandbrown.com/NewsPost/Single-Payer-2024
For now, California has been subsidising healthcare costs through existing programmes.
Scientist speculated it’s because it evolved from its self(cloning behaviour)
So it is an abomination of some sort?
they’re not capable of self reflection
You missed the part where I said it is for the readers, not the cultists. It is not about convincing these ideologues, it is to warn the readers why the ideas of these cultists are bad.
A broken clock is right twice a day. And it is not like the Hungarian freedom fighters are mujahideen turned Taliban.
It is not to validate them, it is to discredit them and provide red flags to would-be readers how dangerous their ideas are.
In all fairness, the last 80 years of economic order has been shit for 99% of the population.
Yes and no. Millions of people were uplifted from poverty because of globalisation. The technology and wealth we enjoy today is because of international trade. But on the one hand, those who lost their jobs from outsourcing were not duly provided with alternatives, and now they are electing demagogues who are promising them easy answers to complicated issues. And on geopolitics, big countries act with impunity, stepping on less powerful countries. This also added for demagogues to use the lack of international order to rally people into nativism.
If you know what you are arguing and argue with tankies/Nazis in good faith, nine times out of ten they will eventually lose their temper and make fools of themselves. There is no need to be hostile to begin with, they just defeat themselves basically because their ideologies are totally flawed (kinda like in real life).
I don’t know about New York, but California calculated that they can’t afford it on their own and need federal funding. Problem is, the politicians at federal level is beholden to for-profit medical sector.
Use Bazzite. It is a distro dedicated to gaming and user friendly for beginners. It still has some limitations but it is better compared to others when it comes to gaming. You don’t really require more tweaking unlike other distros to make games work.
I heard he became a MAGA though. How ironic.
It is easy to very feel disillusioned with the world, but it is important to remember that there are still good people all around willing to fight the good fight. And it is also important to remember that technology is not inherently bad, it is a neutral object, but people could use it for either good or bad purposes.
I argue with them to change the minds of people reading the argument.
This is why I would labour to keep arguing until either I get last word, or the interlocutor clearly runs out of good arguments. You can’t reason with people who never reason themselves into an idea to begin with. But you can convince the readers that the idea is dangerous and to keep away!
Territorially? Yes, Russia is winning. But politically, economically and socially? Russia already lost. The deaths of thousands of soldiers in the face of Russia’s demographic crisis will result fewer labour force, which means lower tax revenue. The Russian economy is in war footing and this is already causing inflation because of heightened government expenditure, and businesses struggling to pay the ever increasing wage demands of civilians at home, who replaced the jobs that would have been filled instead by soldiers from the front. With secondary sanctions, even Chinese banks are reluctant to lend to Russia. The future generations of Russians will be paying for the economic and social consequences of the war in Ukraine. In essence, Russia may be winning territorially, but it will be a Pyrrhic victory with generational consequences.
There were protests and hundred of thousands of young Russian men left the country after Putin announced the first “partial” mobilisation. The recruitment process was also botched and conscripted even the disabled and old.
It is suspension of disbelief, that somehow, there was only one practical solution to defeat Thanos. And they do not involve Thor going after his head, or Thanos educating the population of the universe about family planning and contraception.
ThanosWasRight is just a meme. Thanos could have gone for the latter option but his faux concern about overpopulation is a cover for his egomania.
Post it on 4chan so that people will dismiss the leaks as fake and gay.
