Aramoro posted:Most people in your country do not believe the system is broken. But it's good for us really because it gives us a sense of perspective, like look at what an unholy hellscape accessing healthcare is in the US, lets not do that. I don't understand how anyone who has been to the doctors in the last 10 years thinks the system works well. Everyone knows it's broken, but apparently trying to fix it is socializm, and half the country thinks that our #1 priority should be building a wall and making life miserable for brown people.

I thought that something like 70% of Americans were all for universal healthcare.

Basically "I worked hard for my right to spend my money going broke for preventable diseases, why would I want to pay more in taxes, so that some lazy person can get it free." Of course the implication of "lazy person" is black or Mexican, and they completely miss the point that that tax would also cover themselves.

I'm sure the game-plan for MoviePass was to make up the difference in volume.

So kind of meaningless This is kinda the main problem, words are cheap its how you actually vote that matters. Like people in the UK broadly think a hard Brexit is a bad idea but we still voted for it. The people in Poland and Hungary probably don't see themselves as right wing reactionaries, but you know, they voted for it.

Voters' opinions aren't really coherent I don't like Obama so I don't like UHC  I don't like Trump so I like the ACA now. One of the reasons Dems get washed so bad is that they use polling to craft their platform, rather than using their platform to drive opinion. Republicans are great at that, which is why you have people living at the poverty level supporting lower taxes for the rich against all reason. The upshot is you can convince people that UHC is good with a good enough message/campaign.

The day after the Brexit vote I remember seeing interviews of people that voted for it and a lot of them didn't even know what it was so I think voter education is probably a big issue too

The only thing that matters really is registering as a sex offender and surely he'll still have to do that even with this defence. Because he's a wealthy white guy who doesn't think he's a rapist even though he raped a woman. His father described what happened as "twenty minutes of action". They're garbage people. This is the good poo poo.

The only thing that matters really is registering as a sex offender and surely he'll still have to do that even with this defence. From my reading of it, if he is successful here he might be able to drop down the length of time he is required to be on the registry. Since they aren't arguing the penetration with a foreign object convictions, he would still have a minimum of 20 years on it instead of life. So it seems like a dumb bet given that he could end up resentenced with time in prison added.

I bet he's banking on the same leniency he got the first time. He's not thinking about how that judge got thrown out; he's thinking of his advantages and how they're going to benefit him this time because, surely, all judges think the same. Remember, he doesn't think of himself as a rapist, and I'd bet anyone he still associates with doesn't, either, so he's getting nothing but positive reinforcement here, and he's not willing to believe there can be a negative end to this.

zoux posted:I don't know how that was supposed to make money in the first place Inspector Gesicht posted:I'm sure the game-plan for MoviePass was to make up the difference in volume. Not really, no. They legitimately lost money on any member who saw ~10 or more movies per year. They had a negative gross margin, meaning every additional sale lost more money. Thus more volume = more losses. Lagomorphic posted:Selling user data. Big data is the .com bubble of the late 2010's. That's part of it. Another related part is to be more hands-on with the usual buyers of user data. In addition to selling data to advertisers, their business model is to cross-sell directly. They'll partner with Red Robin or whatever to give moviegoers a 10%!!!! off coupon to a restaurant/cafe/strip club as part of their movie night and make a commission on every conversion. Predictive models didn't quite get the assumptions right, so they had to cut the loss per user by first limiting to one view per movie, cutting out popular AMC locations, and soon increasing their membership fees. They would also love to have events like yesterday just-so-happen to highlight how much they control the movie market so they can demand more favorable deals with cinemas. Since theaters make more off concessions than tickets, it's likely they will give in to the market controlling nature of MoviePass and share profits in some way. That is, if the company doesn't run out of cash infusions. Source: https://www.investopedia.com/news/how-moviepass-makes-or-doesnt-make-money/ and a podcast I can't be bothered to find but it's a podcast so it's gospel rite?
