Cracks me up how much it is the progressives who now all about supporting wars of foreign nations.

It’s precisely what socialism is and one reason why socialism fails.Socialism is different than welfare statism that we have in the US (fused with some sector fascism (medical, banking)). Socialism is anti-progressive. It stagnates progress. This is one of the many cognitive dissonances of the left

Someday I hope people mature to the point that abortion is something to try to avoid, not something to celebrate and be proud of and fight for above all other causes of import.

To succeed in free market capitalist economy, you get up every morning and work your butt off to best serve the needs of other people (customers). To succeed in a socialist economy you get up in the morning and try to service the whims of your political superiors.

It is worth learning about the myriad of other ways besides health insurance. Or that at least put health insurance solely in the role of catastrophic financial protection (what insurance should do) as opposed to managing health. Obamacare mostly illegalizes catastrophic insurance.

Cool. It’s good to have a place to release some steam.

I used to pay 84 dollars a month for catastrophic insurance (high deductible). Family of four. I paid for everything until a max was reached. So I cared about the costs and shopped for best value (except in emergencies of course). That’s how costs get brought down. Obama made my plan illegal.

Health Insurance is not part of the cosmic firmament. It is a financial product, not a medical product. With very large side effects, the principal one being that third party payment of any kind creates moral hazard which increases prices and costs, fixed only by centralized control. Yuk.

Although you are ethically correct that if there is a line, anyone cutting it needs to get permission from all those behind, not just one person, I do wanna ask just how important it is to get on the plane sooner. Enough to call someone a bitch and provoke a fight?

Progressives gaslight. It’s what they do because their arguments and history are so poor. So they have to gaslight people into not thinking clearly. And by so doing they gaslight themselves. Which is what BlueSky is all about. A giant mutual gaslighting silo.

Where have I insulted or made baseless accusations? I don’t do those things. My “fringe” interpretation of the constitution is the original founders’ interpretations before the US went all fascist by ignoring the Constitution.

Bring a chicken. Bring money. Join a medical cost sharing community. Join a fraternal lodge. Join a Direct Primary Care practice. Join a church or commune that shares costs and helps its members. ALL of them make medical costs decrease. Insurance makes medical costs increase. Look up MORAL HAZARD

I’ll re-ask my question. Do you have any reason to know that the Biden administration did the work to accomplish the peace treaty between rawanda and DRC? I looked into it and Biden’s team failed. Trumps team used a different tactic and it worked. For now.

That’s an a-hole thing to say.

Health insurance is not health care. Health insurance is a financial product most of us are forced by Obamacare to buy from big corporations.

Stop with the presumptions and insults. Have a conversation. Skip the baseless accusations.

I can’t read it either.

Wow. The chasm between liberty and what you seem to want is perhaps insurmountable.

Obamacare forced everyone. If you didn’t buy insurance from some big corporation, you would have the fruits of your labor taken by the government. Thats coercion. Republicans removed the individual mandate penalty. Employers are still fined heavily for not buying it from big financial companies.

And yet i write books about morality and ethics.

It’s the democrats who forced medical insurance down everyone’s throats and went to great effort to conflate the terms “health care” with “health insurance” so that all democrats now think they are the same thing. Democrats need to introspect instead of hate.

The Current administration doesn’t tend to ban products.

Do you even know that the guy dressed up so funny in the picture did nothing at all violent? He walked slowly around the capitol (as is the right of all Americans) often accompanied by capitol police who opened doors for him, and prayed. That’s what he did. And they put him in prison.

Many pled guilty because they were threatened with massive ridiculously long sentences if they didn’t. And they knew they were going to be judged by democrats, and only democrats, who were brainwashed heavily by a gaslighting media.

You do like to make presumptions and then declare them loudly. I wonder that you haven’t yet learned that doing so makes you the fool, not the philosopher. PS—you might like living in Melbourne. Nice fascist/socialist command and control economy. Most aspects of life now determined by politicians.

Not my hero. I just don’t choose to hate him, nor do I base all my political decisions on exactly the opposite of what he does, because then I would be puppeted by him like so many on this site are.

And perhaps you can read some works by Thomas Jefferson, von Mises, Ron Paul, Friedrich Hayek. Thoreau, Emerson, Martin Luther King Jr, Richard Maybury Thomas Payne, Adam smith, and a thousand others who empower people with freedom instead of enslave them to politicians via childish dependency.

It’s intriguing how confident you are with your conclusions, and yet how wrong. I am neither a communist troll nor a 12 year old. One wonders in how many other ways you may be proven wrong while you you are cocky and confident that you are right .

Why part of what I said was not true?

America is different. We created government to secure out liberties. Not to take money from some to give to others.
