Josh Lyman posted:Then why do 100% of hospital bills seem outrageous? Probably late on this but being a nonprofit doesn't mean anything. I know one hospital in the state where I live that has about 300 million in liquid assets. They keep these assets in a separate foundation to keep them off of their main set of books in order to not deter potential donors who want to see how needy the organization they're giving to is. It would be difficult for anyone to get to that money, but one operation amassing that kind of wealth certainly isn't acting in the spirit of a nonprofit. Execs all get crazy bonuses and salaries too. E: also I meant to quote the guy you were quoting, aware you're probably agreeing with the point I'm trying to make. vaginite fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Jun 28, 2017 |

If you want a solid cry or a brutal contrast with the America of 2017, then look at this video of what the President of the United States was doing exactly two years ago and try to imagine this happening with President Donald J. Trump. http://wapo.st/1LBbIdF

So Collins, Heller and Paul seem a million miles away from supporting the bill at this point. And then you still have to deal with the other tea party crazies. I am cautiously optimistic.

Like at the end of the day, if the country is still around and is powerful, the world's gonna talk poo poo about America even if it becomes the most benevolent force on earth and gives everyone free money and prosperity. Trump wasn't going to change this, its just new context for anyone around the world to bring up. We could have a dog for 46 and they'd scratch his ears and go, "Look who isn't saying bad things about Mexicans - yes its you!"

As woke an opinion as "haters gonna hate" is, there's plenty of good sentiment towards America, much of it earned, much of it not, around the world. Obama was GREAT for our image. Trump confirms all of the world's worst fears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7APmRkatEU

If a country's population can elect someone like Trump President that signals to the rest of the world that that population is completely untrustworthy, unstable and unreliable and that will change the way countries deal with us forever, even if the next few presidents are nothing like Trump.

FizFashizzle posted:Can we talk about trump going to Paris after the G20 summit because it doesn't make any sense at all. I like to think he's been assured that his visit will be only exposed to supporters and dignitaries, and at some point he'll be faced with hundreds of thousands of protesters jeering him and Marcon shrugging it off as "free speech". Probably not, but who knows, it's not like Macron has to pretend they're best buds.

It's heartwarming to remember that Trump is statistically more likely to run into a Guillotine in France than anywhere else. And they have a history of rudely awakening nepotistic despots.

Shifty Pony posted:Rules and Regulations on the other hand tend to be very easy to read and understand. I don't really know a lot about American law books. But in Germany the laws are written in an extremely obtuse and unreadable, but ridiculously exact way. Like all the complicated text has to be added, in order to clarify the exact statement and tighten loopholes so much, that not even a jinn could slip through. In a way it's actually quite beautiful. But as a mathematician, I am rather fond of exact statements which define a well ordered system. I've always assumed it worked similarly with your laws. But then again, it's also easy to hide obscene abuses in such texts.

I'm not saying he's number one worst president ever, but the question was "disrespect the office of the president" and using the figurative office to procure sex and the literal office to perform it in is disrespectful. thats without getting into the capital p problematic power issues between an intern and the president of the united states

Its why we won the American Revolution in the first place, everyone loving hated England when they were on top and for mostly justifiable reasons.Trump is a nightmare, but I'm also remembering back when people said poo poo about Dubya and the horror stories people gave about Reagan era goosestepping that would make Trump look like its nothing if only because of how good they were at being evil and victorious. Depending on what he does he'll either just be an embarrassment and murderer of people in his own country or outside of it depending on he actually succeeds in dragging us into another war or escalating the War on Terror. Obama sure as poo poo didn't stop the drone strikes of civilians but people seem to love him now especially when Trump's at the helm.
