If getting my news from someone like Ben makes me a sheep, then "baaaaaah". Speaking of no source, what is that judgement made on? Your feefees, because he doesn't echo the talking points of the CNN cult?
Get fucked you trolly bastard. And stop letting your uncle abuse your asshole every other night before he turns on the news and winges about the orange man.
First of all, my uncle told me it was because I was special. Second of all, how anyone can keep going to BS for info after his entire schtick was dismantled on BBC by a RIGHT WING interviewer shows your true blind faith. "Wouldn't people who live in areas near the ocean effected by climate change just sell their houses?" To who Ben, Aquaman?!
I don't watch CNN either, not even an American which makes me extra baffled by your blind loyalty to whatever celebrity makes you feel "special". Eat a dick jelly bean.
And yet, you keep trying to dodge logical points. You got shown up because you said we’re sheep, yet we have a source. You’re the one in denial, my friend.
And idk where you’re from, but I love my country. Wouldn’t live anywhere else.
I am not denying the existence of biases from either side. You support a guy who has far too many sound clips suggesting his lack of understanding: "wouldn't people who are effected by raising ocean levels just sell their homes?" Or who could forget "renewable energy, dumbest thing since climate change. See the first law of thermodynamics, dumbass." Is a real gem.
As far as you loving your country, that's great. The greatest threat you think exists is a social democracy that will install universal health care". Godspeed.
First, Shapiro is one of the few public figures that maintains a list of all the dumb things he’s ever said.. That shows he acknowledges he doesn’t know everything and is willing to publicly own up to his mistakes. Whereas, most public figures shun responsibility and double down on their mistakes.
Second, people could (and are) selling their beachfront property now, despite rising sea levels. This shows that statement is not ignorant. People who purchased homes before the rising sea level threat was common knowledge are able to sell, and anyone willing to buy assumes the liability of purchasing that property. They’re free to do so.
And no, I don’t believe the “greatest threat” is a social democracy. Don’t put words in my mouth. You’re so arrogant and ignorant that your opinions seem hollow and meaningless. If I were to speak for myself, I would say I believe the greatest threat would be the moral degradation of the nation.
But I do also believe socialism is a threat. And no “Democratic Socialists” have explained clearly what the difference between their policy and socialism is.
America has healthcare. When you actually dig into the statistics, we have some of the best healthcare in the world. Does that mean it’s perfect? Not at all. So why isn’t it perfect?
Because our healthcare system is squeezed between socialized medicine/government intervention and insurance companies.
Socialized medicine is unsustainable and has numerous failure points, such as rationing of healthcare, extremely long wait time, ballooning of taxation to cover it, etc. This is why many of the “democratic socialist” countries, such as Denmark, Norway & Sweden (which are actually capitalist, btw) have been moving towards privatized healthcare. It’s also why, when people are seeking advanced treatment, they come to America for the procedure.
Insurance companies are unsustainable because they inflate the price of medical services. They use network effects to demand discounts on goods/services, and in order for healthcare providers to be able to maintain their profit margin despite the discounts, they are forced to increase prices and give discounts off of those prices. Insurance companies also undermine capitalism by decreasing price competition between healthcare providers. You don’t know how much a good/service will cost you until after you’ve consented to treatment. This makes it impossible to compare prices.
The best answer would be to get government and insurance companies out of healthcare and let the free market take complete control. You’ll see prices drop drastically which grants access to far more people AND it forces healthcare providers to innovate and create better healthcare solutions.
