We were in Port A in October and my daughter cut her toe and it looked a little infected the next morning so we went to a minor emergency. Doc cleaned it and bandaged it. In and out in 10 minutes with a script for an antibiotic cream. 
 

Fast forward a few months and we find out they billed our insurance $10k. Our insurance said it was submitted as a car accident in a hospital ER. They have no clue if it’s fraud or incompetence but it has been a good lesson in just how laughable our system is.

Seems like you’re a little obsessed with Trump.

I’d say AOC is a pretty great candidates for “Trump of the Left.” Although she doesn’t wield as much power as Trump, the direction the party is moving she could be more powerful in the next decade. Both Trump and AOC are liars that use inflammatory statements to get their skewed points across.

I saw a lot of riots this past summer. Seemed similar to the January 6 insurrection you’re talking about. 

I think anyone that says vaccines don’t work is a liar. What I have seen are a lot of left leaning individuals going on TV demanding that we all get vaccinated. Very rarely do you hear “It’s your choice. Do what you and your family decide is best.” I’m 34. My wife is 34. She is also pregnant. We are both in good health. Try to eat well and exercise. Based on the numbers I’m seeing, there’s a .2% chance we would die if we contacted the coronavirus. The vaccine is new and we don’t know the long term effects yet. If we were older, high risk or had no prospect of having children then we probably would get it. But that’s not the case. We would rather accept the .2% risk of dying from Covid than any unknown risks of the vaccine affecting her pregnancy.

I would watch how you throw “fascist” around. You sound rather “obey or die” yourself.

I once thought like this, and understand where it comes from. Lower taxes and less regulations sounds good. It sounds responsible. it makes sense. Why wouldn’t I want to keep more money? Who likes red tape? In layman terms, spending beyond ones means is irresponsible. I have to balance my checkbook, so should the government. 

The reality is this viewpoint is a fallacy. 

Why?

There are no fiscally conservative political parties. Bill Clinton might be considered the only “fiscally conservative” President in the past 100 years, but that was a bit of luck. He had control of Congress the first 2 years and passed a big stimulus and raised taxes on the rich (what Biden is trying to do now), but then Republicans had control the last 6 years so he couldn’t spend anymore. This one time stimulus preceded and helped usher in the tech boom economy and with high taxes on the rich, led to a surplus. 
 

His repeal of glass-steagall led to the Great Recession in 2008. Because regulations are created for good reason. We don’t allow chop blocks in football because it leads to injury. The Glass-Steagall act of 1933 prohibited banks from investing in risky securities (like sub-prime mortgages) because we didn’t want the banks to fail from being greedy assholes and cause the Great Depression again. And of course, history repeated itself. Unlike last time, thankfully smart fiscal policy people stepped in and the public bailed out the banking system. 

there are a million more example why regulations are a good thing. Don’t get me wrong, some regulations need to be more efficient, or modified or overhauled. 

A fiscally responsible policy means high taxes and cut spending. No political party believes in both of those.

I’m not saying it’s not a good policy, it should be implemented at times, but when people say I’m “fiscally conservative” they usually mean cut spending and lower taxes, which just increases debt, and is not actually fiscally responsible.

1. Is there a difference between burning down a Walmart and trying to stop a Democratic transfer of power? 

2. Name one thing AOC has lied about. 

3. What are the long term effects of Covid?

Seems you are interested in probabilities and COVID and vaccines.  Remember that COVID doesn’t have to kill you to ruin your life and now by proxy affect the life of your unborn bundle of joy.  What do you think has a higher probability, the chance of negative effects of the vaccine or negative effects of Covid-19?

Also, maybe consider the world is bigger than just you and by getting the vaccine you are also helping your fellow man.  Also, since you aren’t the one pregnant, I fail to see why you couldn’t get it.

How bout the lie that Biden really won the election over Trump.  It’s obvious he cheated with millions of votes by illegal aliens, dogs and cats, and dead people.  In fact Biden only got about 75 votes in the whole country.  Trump will got 100 bazillion votes.  I wish the Dem politicians would tell us the truths like these don’t you?

I'm almost 99.8% sure that Covid will not kill me.  As to whether I think the vaccine or Covid-19 will have longer negative effects, I don't know.  Not enough time has passed to really know.

I have been around several people that have had it and I've yet to get it myself.  I wear a mask, wash my hands, use hand sanitizer, etc.  I haven't really changed my life at all though.  I have gone to the office for the past 12 months, gone out to eat every weekend and gathered at friends homes. I know a couple people that have died but they were extremely old (~90+ years). 

I help my fellow man in different ways.  I volunteer my time and money.  But I'm not getting this vaccine for reasons already stated at this time.  I want to see what happens.  I'm young, in good health and it isn't necessary.  I should be able to make that choice as a member of this free society.  I'm not yelling for people to not take the Covid-19 vaccine.  I really don't care what other people do.  These are decisions that each individual and their family should be able to make.

That's not a lie. There were absolutely people in the mob that stormed the Capitol hunting for AOC.

AOC not only serves her own constituents, she's done more for the people of Texas than any of the piece of shit GOP officials this moron fucking state constantly elects. To say that she's the left's Trump indicates either that you're a complete troll, in which case you can eat ten gallons of shit, or that you're so deep in the GOP propaganda swamps that your bullshit about being in the middle can't possibly be true.
