Also it's great because of how popular Call of Duty is with young chuds. i dont even think chuds even like cod anymore. probably to mainstream or some poo poo. at least with the alt right. they just hate all games now because of "sjw/jews" influence in western gaming or some poo poo anyway. i thought the campaign was ok/good for what it was. but i like that sorta poo poo.

trump will thank the embedded source that gave up the info but mangle the name so badly it will be impossible to identify him and the news will hail him as a hero for protecting such an important asset.

One thing that really sticks out about this is that it's supposedly in Idlib. That's run by a different Salafist faction that would be perfectly happy to execute him on live television. There's just so many issues with how the hell he'd get there, how he'd hide there without getting caught, how a foreign country would find him before the locals did that something's going on.

I remember when the Bin Laden raid happened Obama went on TV that night to announce it. It was pretty late too I think. Because gently caress waiting to announce it, and he didn't need any drat fanfare either. He walked out into an empty hall and podium, made a simple statement and that was it. You know drat well Trump is going to make a fuckin spectacle of it tomorrow because he's completely devoid of class.

Here's one thing I don't get. So all the insurance company lobbies are of course against free healthcare for all. But why aren't all the big medical lobbies seeing big dollar signs at the idea of grifting the government for full healthcare for every single poor person in the country that couldn't afford it before? Should've they be throwing money at this?

I don't know for sure, but my guess is theres probably a lot more money in the private system. Also for these companies the current system works great for them (and screws over the people) they're making boatloads of money so why change?

But why aren't all the big medical lobbies seeing big dollar signs at the idea of grifting the government for full healthcare for every single poor person in the country that couldn't afford it before? From the doctors perspectives, reducing costs for medical treatments all round doesn't make sense because they've dropped a quarter of a million in student debt in becoming doctors. If they're sufficiently scared public healthcare would mean 80k salaries suddenly that investment wouldn't be worth it. There's also a business fear of the unknown. The current system is an unworkable mess but chasing will require massive operational and systemic changes, the effects of which on the individual level are uncertain. Experienced administrators might suddenly find they're redundant or that the newer, cheaper hire is now equally experienced with the new system. Likewise if there's a strong level of kick backs and bonuses from price seeing with insurance companies and pharma, there may be strong individual incentive to not make huge changes. You also can't ignore the effect of pharma/insurance lobbying on the rest of the industry. Doctors and hospitals are almost as susceptible to scare tactics as the rest of the population. At a high enough level companies may see the potential benefit but be too scared of all these risks they keep being told about to want to lobby for it.

But why aren't all the big medical lobbies seeing big dollar signs at the idea of grifting the government for full healthcare for every single poor person in the country that couldn't afford it before? Depends on which aspect of the medical side of the system you're talking about. Hospitals won't be able to just straight up grift the government, because the government will only pay X amount for a treatment. In the current system they make up a number, then they negotiate with insurance companies to bring that number down. Doctors working as an employee don't know how this will effect their salary. Many of them still have substantial debt from paying for college and med school, so anything that disrupts the current system is a risk without a tangible reward. Doctors with their own practice are looking at saving a lot of money from not having to deal with the different paperwork and hoops that each insurance company makes them jump through. They'll be able to cut staffing by not needing to pay someone to just deal with the insurance paperwork. People whose job is dealing with the paper work for hospitals and doctors offices are looking at a catastrophic impact to their particular industry. There will still likely be positions to deal with the Medicare paperwork, but they will be massively fewer in number than currently. Plus, since each Democratic candidate has a different plan to fix the healthcare situation, there isn't much incentive to come out in favor of a plan that may never materialize. The smarter thing to do is to wait until someone is actually nominated and there's a definite plan to either rail against or try and compromise.

My father was a doctor before he was finally forced to retire due to early onset dementia. He went into family medicine, and when he started out, he was pretty gung-ho against the idea of government healthcare. Over time, however, he became more and more convinced that his initial position was wrong, and the last time we talked about it he made it clear he believes Medicare For All is not only a good thing, but absolutely necessary. He also developed a very healthy hatred of insurance companies, and that was well before his disability insurance attempted to screw him over because he tried and ultimately failed to start working again. Pretty sure my dad's always been a democrat though. Now my mom, a lifetime republican (although she's never been big into politics, it was largely cultural) who only started voting democratic in 2012 with some hefty persuasion, is 100% aboard the healthcare as a human right train in 2019. They both absolutely despise Trump (my father has a hard time remembering names now, so Trump was, and remains, "The Baby Man").

The Super-Id posted:Ads calling out facebooks stupid policies like this are great and all given how poo poo Facebook is, but like, they’re just going to make more money which is their aim in the first place. Nah, medicare has oversight and consistent pay scales for procedures. It's completely different from the private insurance system where there can be negotiation on payment. It's also important to remember that profit margins for insurance companies are capped, and so the only way to increase profit is for them to also increase revenue. This ends up short-circuiting the market because you have situations where both sides of the transaction actually want the price to be higher. This is what has inflated the healthcare bubble in the US. Hospitals send insane bills to insurance companies that then get whittled down to whatever the insurance company needs to pay to stay under the profit cap. It's always a higher price than medicare. A similar kind of broken incentive fuels the student loan bubble with lenders and universities both seeking higher and higher outlays. On the one hand conservatives would say this is why government shouldn't have gotten involved in these industries. I think it's more realistic to say that neoliberalism is a failure and you can't do these market-based half-measures in the current system. They always lead to weird incentives and bubbles. Single payer for both healthcare and education makes the most sense.

Mass shootings as a means of punishing people you perceive to have wronged you are basically a feature not a bug of the status quo. It's why like 1/2 to 3/4 of mass shootings are just some dipshit shooting his ex wife and a couple kids and her new husband
