Because there’s more to know…

This is like saying the average 9 year old has a greater knowledge of Disney movies than Aristotle

It’s true, but it means nothing.

Like, germ theory wasn’t even a thing back there, so just knowing about bacteria is enough

It would be like Israel where it ends up banning high level officials from even travelling thru a country’s airspace

But, I think it would be believable for stuff to come out in trials and due to the international and high level corruption of this case, if some countries don’t prosecute their own, other countries governments have a responsibility to disclose the evidence and that the offending countries know but refuse to act

Fuck it, what’s the risk in burning a bridge with trump when he’s so fickle?

Either way it won’t last, but this has a shot to get rid of him, which every responsible power wants.

“Owning up to your mistakes” on heinous shit like this includes snitching.

It’s a fucking international child trafficking ring, the US isn’t the only nation that can go after US citizens for that.

Everyone going down in other countries need to be grilled to disclose everything they know, and then at least release the names and crimes

Basically, it can make you money the same way crypto and every other multi-level marketing scheme before it can, by selling people on the idea that they an also sell the idea…

That’s only if they own stocks in it…

With AI they got grifted into believing they could “learn skills” that would be valuable once AI became popular. Instead they sunk their own time and electricity into training the AI so people without those “vibe skills” could get the same result. Everytime they’re trying to get an AI to do something, all they’re doing is making it easier for the AI to do it next time.

They’ve literally been making themselves redundant this whole time

If someone could use AI to automate any type of job or task that results in a profit…

The AI companies themselves would be doing it.

The most you’d be accomplishing is scamming people into thinking you’re an actual person working and not just lying with an AI knowing you’ll be fired as soon as they notice

If you want to make money (you’re not gonna make much) then you’re going to want to look for the tasks that can’t be automated, and sign up to do those as a human.

Yeah…

But the research had already split along that demographic divide.

If you’re upset about that, the logical point to raise that complaint would be with the original researchers, not people discussing it.

They won’t notice people skipping insurance that couldn’t afford to use their insurance in the first place.

Their sweet spot is people paying for it and never using it.

All Obamacare really did, is kick the van down the road by penalizing people for making the choice not to have insurance

That was a bandaid and as it gets worse people will decide the penalty is still better. If the penalty goes away, a shit ton of people’s math would change at once and it would crash the entire industry.

If it still doesn’t make sense, I don’t think I can explain it any simpler.

Half of all consumption spending in the US comes from the top 10% we are on track for that to narrow to the top 5% in my lifetime.

Ok…

But regardless of if that’s true, how does that effect the profits of the American healthcare industry besides gift shop sales?

Because I just don’t understand why you think it’s relevant or why American Healthcare corporations would care more about that than how much profit they’re making…

Quality Control is what you’re paying for…

For pretty much any type of product where quality shouldn’t matter you can buy cheap, normal, expensive, insane.

100/1000 of cheap ones might have sleight flaws.

10/1000 normal may have flaws.

1/1000 expensive

And 1/100,000 for the insanely expensive ones may have a flaw.

So even if their optimal performanceshould be the same, the more expensive it is, the less likely the manufacturer lets subpar products out to market. Often it’s vertically integrated and as batches fail they get bumped down to a different label

Do the test again, they might score the same. But do it enough, and you’ll see the expensive ones eventually pull out ahead by a very sleight amount

Yep

Even if you make it big young, if you don’t keep working you’ll never afford 40 years of health insurance.

He made at least one good investment and didn’t blow his money. But that wasn’t enough to cover a major medical condition.

The rest of us don’t stand a chance, and I fully expect to be what actually gets us socialized medicine is going to be people just throwing the towel in on major medical treatment.

If a 40 year old gets cancer, we’re going to see more and more people just start refusing the treatment.

Once that starts becoming normal (it’s already happening) people are going to stop paying insurance because they know they’ll never really use it.

That would crash the healthcare industry, and would make them “settle” for a socialized system they could still make profits.

As long as they’re making money, they’re happy. Which is why long term Obamacare just forcing people to pay for healthcare is probably a negative.

If it wasn’t for that, lots more people would have opted out of healthcare.

Instead, the explanation stems from characteristics of the household: Women members of Congress are more likely to have a high-earning spouse. As the authors put it, they’re part of a “power couple.” Men members tend to come from very different households – ones in which their wives “take on flexible, lower-paying work and a disproportionate share of household responsibilities.” Women who want to run for Congress are therefore more likely to either not have childcare responsibilities or have the wealth to hire others to help with childcare.

I don’t think that they have even more wealthier spouses…

But if I was doing the research I would have went thru the tiny extra bit of trouble to treat it properly as a confounding variable and quantified it…

What’s more likely is that nothing about human variation is binary, and while it is mostly men attracted to personal wealth and power. But of women, if they’re likely to be attracted to the personal power if office, they’re also more likely to want their own personal wealth too.

That and it being more difficult for women to be elected, means the ones that do make it are more likely to be extra wealthy to compete with men. The outliers for wealth are the ones who got into politics to help others, and as such don’t prioritize personal wealth. They had other motivationa to run for office. I wouldnt be surprised if all the bottom net worth female politicians were solidly progressive.

It’s not as rare as people keep acting…

He was on a hit TV show 20 years ago, but it was his breakout so he probably got no residuals

He wasn’t broke, he was a landlord that made like 12k/month off rent. But if his net worth was in the millions it was probably just like two LA houses that most likely still had mortgages. If you’re going off websites it’s probably reported wrong.

Like it’s applicable to everyone because insurance shouldn’t be tied to employment now that wages aren’t capped due to WW2 anymore, but it’s not like he was the 1% either. You gotta be well over 10 million for that.

Which should make us realize how bad wealth inequality has gotten. To the actual oligarchs Dawson and the rest of us are the same.

All the good parts will shut down…

ICE and CBP got that 75 billion no strings from BBB already.

Still better than everything else federal shutdown, but specifics matter. This won’t slow ice at all

America did pretty alright for the 225 years we didn’t have a DHS…

Given that it’s literally in the dictionary

Affluenza isn’t real, it’s just an excuse the wealthy made up for not thinking the rest of us are still the same species.

I have no idea what you think it means from this post tho

Disapproval rating rolled over like an old odometer, and now just shows two sideways zeros…

They didn’t design the system for this low of numbers…

/S

It’s a dangerous way to be a human…

Like, you’re coasting on “nothing catastrophic has happened to me yet”

And eventually, you’re gonna get blindsided by something big.

This like saying if Faux News and Newsmax said trump is great, he’s gotta be great…

Like, why is your problem with me and not the person who’s “sources” are literally a list of right wing UK tabloids that literally lie and misrepresent this shit

Faux and Newsmax said immigrants were eating puppies in America, is that true?

I don’t even want to ask you about Bat Boy or Samsquantchs
