UnmaskedGremlin posted:One note about seeing people bitch about the ACA and marketplaces, and how their costs haven't significantly gone down, is that if you play with the exchange variables enough from the minimal info they spout about what its costing them, you can essentially figure out what range of income they are in for their household. I don't get envy, but it annoys me that people making 6 figures bitch that they have to pay $500 a month for a family of four. They have no idea that this poo poo isn't for them and want to know why. I just got laid off, so my wife was looking at what rates would be through the exchanges, when she put in our income it came out as some absurd percentage of the poverty level. $500 a month for health insurance seems pretty reasonable.

I've found the "knockout game" discussion particularly painful. It seems everyone around here is super excited for concealed carry to be allowed so they become invincible supermen that are immune to being cold cocked and having their gun stolen from them. Or being the righteous bystander that shoots someone in the back after they do it and run away.

sweart gliwere posted:I totally agree it's worthless engaging in facebook/youtube/etc debates, if your goal is achieving things. If you know someone for real, they will either engage or you'll write each other off as not worth it. If you don't know someone for real, the chances of persuasion are heavily reliant on either party being ultra-lonely. My motivation for engaging the crazies I know on facebook is to provide a second voice to be heard by everyone else. I know I'm not likely to change the minds of most people, but if I can make a well reasoned argument hopefully someone on the sidelines will get the message.

Centripetal Horse posted:Thank you for posting this, because it is a good point and one that is easy to forget. It's tempting to say, "gently caress it, I can't change his mind," and move on, but that just allows misinformation to spread unchecked. If one viewpoint dominates the debate, it gains apparent legitimacy by pure volume. Yeah, I've had a couple people actually thank me in person for responding to some of the worst of the poop. A lot of people don't necessarily feel comfortable arguing with others, either due to that just being their personality or if they don't feel capable of putting forth a solid argument. And speaking of the poop... Pee pee doo doo, Obama is a bad president. (Also Carter)

gradenko_2000 posted:This would be a government jobs program, which would never work Since I'm a huge nerd, I ran some numbers... There's 132,000 K-12 schools in the US, about 99,000 of those are public schools. We'll take the average school year to be 180 days, and the average school day to be 7 hours. At the federal minimum wage of $7.25 each veteran would earn $9135 per year. That's below the poverty level (good thing they would have summers off to work a second job, right?) Putting 3 veterans in each school at that wage would cost $3.6 billion per year for all schools, or $2.7 billion for just public schools.
