If Playboy Carti pulls his albums I'm going to be pissed!

Yeah. I do feel like this thread could have been started just about any time, really. Hell, could have been on a dial up bbs back in the 80s and been accurate.

Found a comment kind of expressing that: and another: These are unsourced comments, so I obvs can't verify the numbers. But the train of thought makes sense to me. Which, again, is why politics is so depressing.

I also wonder @Sbbruin if your taxes would be off set by the single payer itself. Take out costs of insurance and say an ER visit or two, and then compare to taxes. Right? Or wrong? Then there is economic impact of people who can't afford health care. I'm sure that's derogatory somehow. But again, I don't believe anyone rebels against their corporate overlords. Not in significant numbers anyway.

You apparently know more than me. But I have to tell you, whenever I hear anyone toss out costs, I tend to personally wonder how we can afford other things. I wonder how much money health care lobbyists spend, for example. How much the privatized prison system makes. I don't know. I wonder how politicians go in usually around middle class to upper middle class and somehow get rich(er). I know I'm tilting at windmills. I would even admit to being naïve, except that I don't expect anything seriously good to happen in terms of politics.

Source is apparently a Marxist. Yet....

Coincidentally just came across this on Reddit: https://www.psypost.org/2022/02/new-research-suggests-a-startling-number-of-americans-have-contemplated-suicide-because-of-politics-62452 Very off topic to this thread, but probably in agreement w/your post, so thought you might find it interesting.

Oh shit, its your favorite wall of text quotes again, which have nothing to do with what I said.

I actually agree with you on this overall. Its why the politicization of a global pandemic by the group in control prior to this one and their Feaux News mouthpieces was and is so damn annoying.

Really sorry about your eye problems. But just so you know you should tell those of us who “want socialism” to fuck off to the hellscapes of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, e.t.c. Then you could go ahead and protest Fire Fighters and Libraries. Even then, there is no purely Socialist country just as there is no purely communist country. If I recall correctly you are a nice person (although telling people to fuck off due to misunderstanding political theories belies that a tad) so don’t take this as insulting you or being insensitive to your pains. Some much less nice people than you get these terms mixed up all the time and never learn. https://www.history.com/news/socialism-communism-differences Again, truly sorry for your pains. Understand though that the main purpose of the vaccine was to prevent you from needlessly dying in the hospital. Seems it has done that. As to the people spreading. Some of us get upset that many folks won’t do the bare minimum and act as if wearing a mask is somehow an authoritarian infringement on their freedoms. “Authoritarian” is another term they don’t seem to understand too well.

This. Why did he not refuse dialysis?

I've been quiet on this one, but I have to confess. I really fucking love Spotify. I don't use it for podcasts, but I am daily user of the app. My issues tend to be with how they keep fucking up the 'home page' and trying to put Podcasts in my face is definitely one of the ways they fuck it up. But I ain't quitting Spotify, sorry.

They have no empathy. Not even for their own families. You know that many of them know deep down that their anti-vaxx stance is bullshit. But somehow dying for their team is more important than living for their family. I got my booster shot this week at the local National Guard Armory. Plenty of those black American flag masks. Punisher stuff too. And you know what I thought? I thought good for you. We may disagree on certain matters but we found enough common ground to get a vaccine and live to disagree with each other. Yesterday I had a beautiful day with my family. Today I am up on the mountain with my son. I don’t know if I would have died without the vaccine but it sure seems like I was in that 50/50 category. Instead I get to enjoy more days of living for which I am grateful. Many anti-vaxxed won’t have those days. And they leave behind devastation and pain in their wake. No more sunrises. Just sad.

or you could have had an asymptomatic infection, right? Either way, best of luck to you.

Wow. Hang in there!

Made the mistake of peeking at some comments. Should have known better.

He made the Fox News run: https://www.sorryantivaxxer.com/post/robert-lamay-50-naches-wa-ex-state-trooper-anti-vaxxer-dead-from-covid

Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” 22 When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions. 23 Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples were perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is[b] to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.

I am sure Neil Young will miss the one dollar and 67 cents a month Spotify paid him.

I won't defend one word of the asshat to whom you are replying. But I have avatars turned off and will quickly admit I often confuse these two posters when reading threads.
