@co-hoosier Muslim brotherhood? Lol Healthcare? Let’s see Trump’s plan was two weeks ago. In 2018, right?  The government was shut down due to Obamacare? When exactly was that?

@bradstevens Yup. Any person who speaks like he does of a human with cancer does indeed have brain rot. He has no morals, no intelligence, no empathy, no compassion, and very few real friends. He’s the emperor with no clothes. I hope he enjoys his last few years. I imagine eternity will be uncomfortable

Your hatred has robbed you of perspective.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) released an updated national platform titled “Workers Deserve More”. The platform focuses on shifting economic and political power from corporations to the working class, calling for sweeping government overhauls, single-payer healthcare, and expanded public ownership of major industries. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Economic and Social Policies
  • Universal Healthcare: Establish a single, government-run healthcare system to eliminate private insurance premiums, co-pays, and deductibles. [1, 2]
  • Labor and Wages: Institute a federal jobs guarantee, raise the minimum wage, and establish a mandatory 32-hour workweek with full pay and benefits. [1]
  • Education and Housing: Provide free public education from pre-K through college, cancel all student debt, enact universal rent control, and expand public housing. [1, 2]
  • Taxation and Spending: Enact heavy wealth taxes on top earners and large corporations, alongside significant cuts to military and defense spending. [1, 2]
  • Criminal Justice: Reject police budget expansions, work to defund traditional policing, and move toward freeing incarcerated populations. [1]
Structural Government Overhauls
  • Abolishing Institutions: Eliminate the U.S. Senate, the Electoral College, the presidency, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). [1, 2]
  • New Governance Structure: Replace the executive branch and the Supreme Court with leaders who are chosen by and directly subordinate to a single, proportional, unicameral legislature. [1, 2]
  • Electoral Reform: End corporate lobbying and dark money via public election financing, expand the House of Representatives, and grant voting rights to all permanent noncitizen residents and people with past criminal convictions

It is a big issue. When it comes to sports competitions, we have always had zero tolerance for being outside the lines. That includes eligibility for women’s sports.

ten percent of workers are in healthcare. the biggest companies in the world are healthcare benefits management, insurers, etc.

This is the real problem, and it has nothing to do with Obamacare vs. alternatives. The problem already existed, and it will continue to exist. We need to fundamentally overhaul how we view the healthcare industry.

Would you suggest the amount of growth these companies have seen is unrelated to Obamacare?

@bar-down I’m sorry, but there are very few humans alive who are as bad as Trump. What he has done to our reputation around the world will take years to repair. We are a laughingstock and no one can understand what is wrong with Americans. And Trumpers want to worry about the 1% of trans people that want to play sports. And somehow they convince the morons that is a big issue.

You're right about the current situation as far as the President goes (not the country), but you said the same thing about GWB (bolded) and that was nonsense. I spent considerable time working with and getting to know foreign Navy personnel in their countries and it was absolutely not true that they considered the US or President GWB a laughingstock. You should have held fire then to be more credible now.

The trans thing is really simple. No trans girl/women (biological boys/men) should be allowed to play sports against biological girls/men. There is a scientifically proven advantage for biological boys/men which makes it unfair to the girls/women. Don't really care about trans boys/men competing against biological boys/men - the trans boys/men are at a disadvantage.

@oneeyedundertaker Mostly. After Obamacare was implemented, the annual growth of the healthcare sector actually slowed down a bit, but I don't have any reason to credit Obamacare for that. Point is, the trend predated Obama by quite a long time, and continued after him. It was already part of the system.

See I see this and I think "why can't trans people just give up competing in women's sports?" They can still "play sports" just not at the competitive level. Like, you want life changing shit but don't want your life to change. Make it make sense zeke.
