It’s just fucking absurd that anyone can believe this. And anyway, what Noah claims that graph is portraying isn’t actually what those numbers really are. As Ellie points out, it’s this:
Which is a completely different thing. In reality, Americans pay far more out of pocket for far worse outcomes. Why does Noah seem to enjoy lying about stuff like this? What does it get him? I mean, what is the point?
It’s not just the MAGA right. It’s a lot of left and even many “soft” liberals. For some inexplicable reason they hate Ukraine with the fire of a thousand suns, believe the Ukrainian people should be exterminated, and that Putin is a figure to be worshipped (and it’s all NATO’s fault, somehow).
I will never understand.
Exactly.
I likely would’ve done the same thing Penny did. Men are now penalized for being protectors and not being protectors. Cannot fucking win.
We need a thousand snipers on a thousand buildings, waiting for health care CEOs and execs to poke their heads out. For a start.
Why do so many hiking shoes (not boots) have such thick fucking soles? Come on, I’m not hiking over lava, just walking on a dry trail. I don’t need lifts!
What the hell is up with that?
I really wish the clownish right could bother to identify with those denied coverage and killed by UHC rather than some CEO who was no better than a concentration camp commandant.
It really says a lot about their character and priorities.
No matter how much you display your subservience, you’ll never be even a small fraction as rich as the UHC thug. So give it up.
Luigi Mangione had truly atrocious opsec, though it is somewhat impressive he managed to escape NYC at all.
However, if he’s is allowed to live long enough to go to prison, he’ll be a king there.
Blu DeTiger, you’ve fucking ruined me. I kind of hate you now. 😉
Now when I listen to any other song with a bassline, I think, I wish Blu were playing this; she’d sound better. Ugh she is so embarrassingly good.
Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed that book. But it didn’t seem all that weird to me. I guess that’s because my brain works like that 24/7. When you’re constantly thinking about how you know what you know, what it’d be like to experience another consciousness, what a self-censoring idea would look and feel like, and the limits of knowability, computability and intelligibility, a book about similar things just seems like another day.
