  At least you got them all working together for a common cause. I mean, it’s a start.

  Also, someone said hexbear without a trigger warning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are doctors so hands off and unhelpful in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The medical industry and the insurance industry are locked in a battle for money, and you don’t have a lot of say in it. I used to run an ambulance service. Let’s discuss.

  If I took you to the hospital, and you were on medicare, there was a fixed rate to pick you up and a per mile rate. I got paid part by the government and part by the patient, who I was legally required to bill. If I failed to adequately bill the patient (10% or so), if I lied on the parts and mileage, silver bracelets and court time. We loved billing care/caid, because it was a fixed price, and we knew the payer of 90% paid regularly.

  If you have private ambulance transport, you have no idea what you’ll get. The patient can have a $13,000 deductible, a 50% copay, and. $20,000 per-event cap. There’s no rule what a reasonable bill can be. The insurance company is trying to rig the game so the patient pays most of the bill while paying that sweet monthly premium at the same time. The ambulance is trying to be reimbursed for the time and materials. The red states opened the door for the patients to again be uninsured and pay you $0 for everything. So bills have to be high, to ensure some money comes in from insurance, to insure things can keep running. I would have loved to have a country of all care/caid and it be illegal to live there otherwise. They’d be the best cared for poor and old people in the world, getting quality care backed by the “only if you’re poor or old” US single-payer system.

  But we have what we have, and it’s been well sold to enough clueless people that it’s here to stay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we ever move past Trump I don't think I'll ever be able to put up with any political bullshit again.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t imagine we will ever have another president whose whole presidency is remembered by its scandals, terrible marriage, his coming out of nowhere to win the office, and the general incompetence and corruption. His slogan didn’t even mean anything, but people just went with it.

  One Warren G Harding was enough. America won’t be fooled twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know, as a conservative I get everything I asked for in the 1990’s by voting mainstream Democrat now. The parties can change all they want, I vote my views.

  Only thing that stands out about him was the number of former Mossad directors that went to his funeral. Rumors he helped pinch nuclear secrets from the UK.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is going to happen when AI becomes extremely advanced?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cheating will collapse this plan - there will be a code for ambulances to bypass traffic, followed by a grey market in copying these codes and not getting caught.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't low birth-rate countries make immigration to their country easier?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The issue becomes caring for the boom population and maintaining a stable economy at the same time. Immigration is a natural support to the pressure of worker shortages, and countries that don’t accept this will learn long, hard lessons in capitalism, and pay a premium for end of life care to compete with other jobs in demand that are much more desirable.
