I'd like to see a comprehensive study done that clearly demonstrates the actual net income savings or losses for an average person under a M4A system. Like, I've seen the CBO estimates but what does this mean for your average person's budget?
So, for whatever it's worth, there *is* a study floating around that states that in 2018, the average household spent more on healthcare costs than on federal taxes. Meaning, essentially, for the average household, you would have to increase taxes by literally over a hundred percent before m4a ended up costing people more than they are currently spending. As nobody on this planet is currently suggesting a 100% tax increase, this is good news for m4a.

I honestly can't figure out their game plan? Like are they hoping it'll go "oh well the whistleblower was fake so ALL this testimony is INVALID FOREVER."

If the person ever voted for or worked for a democrat, their assertions are invalid because the are a biased witch hunter.

That's honestly as far as the thinking goes.

Yeah, Reality Winner hates him for being such a good ally for anti-imperialism.

Weird how GG doesn't take an opportunity on his numerous Tucker Carlson appearances to to go "hey maybe ease up on the white nationalist rhetoric". Weird how some posters here don't care about that either.

I guess scoring points on libs is more important than opposing fascism in America.

Yeah I agree. I haven't seen anyone flagged that upon closer inspection turned out to be legitimate. In intent anyway. It also rates people on a scale from 1% to 100% with various degrees in between before it flags them entirely. It also gradually reduces their rating so people have to actively maintain their lovely behavior to stay flagged.




The most important part is that it gives an impression how real a conversation is and if a person is worth responding to at all. Bad faith actors absolutely do run multiple sock puppet accounts in discussions to give real people opponents the impression that they are outnumbered and a minority.

In Colorado Springs around 2005 or so they projected like 50k - 100k new soldiers and Airman were going to be moving to the city due to Base Realignment and Closures. Developers built absurdly big sub division's of small, but really loving expensive houses (my friends house was around 1200 sq ft, 2 bed, 2 bath and was like $250k).

I would very much appreciate being able to buy such a very expensive house instead of paying 12% of that price in rent every year.

Are there that many people who would listen to Republicans screaming about fake whistleblowers and other gibberish that would both start to doubt Trumps own statements confirming the allegations, AND vote, and that their vote would change?

This is a fantastic article which seems to have tracked down a possible root cause of the nationwide vaping related injuries:

https://twitter.com/BruceBarcott/status/1192849247965716486

It is just insane that the US regulatory system gives a free pass to anything labeled a "supplement". It sure looks like that loophole was a key part of the puzzle since it let this company (and knockoffs) ship what turned out to be bottled lung-destruction with no requirement that they disclose ingredients or do any sort of testing.

I guess the government figured that if you didn't hold people accountable to what they put in. They would put in cheap stuff that did nothing as opposed to actually importing functional dangerous stuff to put in.

More like Orrin Hatch cared more about protecting the supplement and MLM industry in Utah than he did about people, so he worked to completely exempt them from even the most basic oversight.
