Some of this stuff is dated. Chinese healthcare used to be less available and more expensive until the government put efforts in changing that fact. China’s a nation that seems to believe that they can use their government to make things better.

The pads and back buttons on the steamdeck are incredible.

Yay more little kids dying of preventable diseases because the American population is remarkably undereducated!

Exactly, Im 50 and Im not rich or particularly good looking. If I was straight I might only see 5 or 6 women on the app that would match with me to begin with and if those didn’t become anything I’d be done with that app. It can’t work

This means men will see many fewer women on the platform in many cases.

So like a corporate sin eater?

Why do you think a for profit corporation would look for more users thus increasing profits? /s

Just take a second to glance at what she posts and what the interactions are. My brother’s friend’s 14 year old daughter who has “absolutely has no social media accounts” actually had a tiktok account with 12k followers who were increasingly pressuring her into making more sexualized content. That girl is now grounded until she qualifies for retirement.

I would argue that there’s a different definition of shitpost which is intentionally low quality post but this thread 100% fits that definition too

A lot, he has a background in construction. He’s racist but not that specific kind of racist.

Have you raised any daughters?

US health insurers literally offer zero social benefit. They should not exist as the entire industry in harmful rent seeking.

The best way to achieve this is to entirely dismantle the US health insurance industry.

Yes, because the early USA did not resemble an modern oligarchy but rather a plutocracy which despite its problems still has greater room for a merit based system than a modern oligarchy provides. We are intentionally concentrating a tremendous amount of wealth in the hands of very few people.

Systemic racism has existed as long as concepts of race exist. No one needed to create an intentional system that favors the dominant ethnicity.

Scientific racism was created in France to justify the enslavement of African Christians as normally it is illegal in canon law to enslave another Christian. The UK and other Northern European nations embraced these concepts and built upon them.

Over 10% of the entire nation of Israel was out in the streets demanding Bibi’s resignation in 7/23 with no reprisals for anyone. Im willing to bet you can criticize Israel in Israel.

The issue with letting the market resolve everything is that means we will permit companies to intentionally harm people until we figure out they are the issue rather than stopping practices we know to be harmful ahead of time. This is the bit that never gets stressed in school when you learn about right wing libertarianism in US schools.

Jesus would be really disappointed in those that claim to be his most ardent believers.

Right wing ideologies tend to be simpler and thus appeal to those that tend to dislike nuance.

You are likely correct that the views here are not the norm though as this is a very fringe form of social media started by leftists so unsurprisingly there are lots of fringe views.

As for the killing of health care CEO’s that’s something that you might not be seeing people agree with because if you aren’t in America you might not get that the murdered executive made millions denying access to health care to those that were paying for insurance. Do you get mad when serial killers are killed? The victim made his money off of letting people die so he could have more money that he did not need.

There’s no reason for the US health insurance industry to exist except to take money from the working class and hand it to the investor class. US health insurers do not make health care more available, more efficient, cheaper or safer. The only thing it does is make everything more expensive.

DEI is actually sound policy for corporations to consider especially on a managerial level or in creative roles. Having people with different perspectives can be a huge asset in business.

Musk is far-right because he’s praising the policy choices of far-right politicians. Trump et al are extremely far right as fascism is a far right ideology.
