What does David Yankovich actually do? The bio on his campaign website says something like "joined his mother in property management"

loquacius posted:

can someone explain to me how the Clinton campaign "went high" at all, while we're on the subject

it was all negative campaigning, that's what "going low" means. "Going high" doesn't mean "positioning yourself as in opposition to racism," it means "running a policy-focused campaign"

david yankovich is pretty clearly a huckster and grifter looking to build his national profile

ok, the only recent thing I found about yanko was that he moved to WI from OH.

and if he's 47, as the one mylife match from OH with his name maintains, I wonder if this popo report is his (even tho middle initials don't match): https://www.policearrests.com/arrests/david_l_yankovich_id_7213711.html

Asian and mixed-race people are the two fastest-growing segments of the U.S. population, the U.S. Census Bureau says. Both groups grew by 3 percent from July 2015 to July 2016. In the same 12 months, the non-Hispanic white population grew by just 5,000 people.

Non-Hispanic whites remain the only segment of the U.S. population where deaths outpace births, the agency reports.

"While all other groups experienced natural increase (having more births than deaths) between 2015 and 2016," the Census says, "the non-Hispanic white alone group experienced a natural decrease of 163,300 nationally."

i went to grad school with an idiot who got hired by the cia. there was a mosque near the campus and he'd always cross the street so he wouldn't be walking near it because he was afraid they would kill him. they operated an awesome bbq restaurant next door and he'd freak out anytime post-conference dinners would be held there because they might "poison his food".

imagine if you will an organization staffed by the failsons and daughters of the elite, each convinced they are smarter than everyone else in the room, with no oversight and completely unwilling to accept any responsibility

We probably do need a better way to convince the sort of mostly-healthy idiot who thinks they don't actually need health insurance at all right now that they would benefit from single-payer than gently caress YOU YOU SELFISH rear end in a top hat.

Even hybrid European systems like Swiss one which are not 100% government run still are vastly better than the US system since the health insurance industry is heavily regulated, not for profit

I remember a delicious meltdown in USPol when a few posters were making fun of Hillary for letting Lynn de Rothschild host fundraisers for her. They were called anti-semites for describing her as a "cartoon villain."

Would it surprise you that we deregulated opiates? It wasn't a crazy idea, we tended to overlook pain as something that should be treated, when uh... it sucks and it's a good thing for people's well being to not be hurting all the time. But guess what, drug companies really wanted to sell those pain meds and they pushed and lobbied and put in paid articles in doctor's journals to make the stuff that was supposed to be for short term use also for long term use. And it worked, and so what if they got sued for misleading the FDA they still got their pills through and insurance companies are buying them and people are buying them and people are killing themselves for the chemical bliss that they can use to supplant a life drained of all meaning and hope.
