Oprah hosted some absolute dumbfucks (McCarthy, Dr. Oz, Dr. Phill, take your pick!) to fill air time and now a virus that could have cleared the country within the span of a month has taken over a million lives in the US alone and is still chugging 4 years later.
NO I’M NOT ESPECIALLY WANTING TO SCREAM IN HER GIFT TAX WHITE ELEPHANT GIVING FACE BECAUSE I’M DEALING WITH MY SECOND ROUND OF THE STUFF IN LESS THAN A YEAR AND HAVING TO POSTPONE A BIRTHDAY BASH FOR ALL MY AUGUST BABY FRIENDS BECAUSE OF IT! WHAT COULD EVER GIVE YOU SUCH A WEIRDLY SPECIFIC IDEA‽
Oprah only contributed one thing of worth to our society, and that is this gif

Astounding how fragile human civilization is
Anyone else curse Reagan’s name on at least a weekly basis?
When I first started doing exactly this, (15 years or so ago) my mom was a die hard Reagan-er and enthusiastically defended all that stuff.
These days it’s getting harder for them to defend
$1000? You must have great insurance!
They didn’t let that one guy into art school and 5 million Jews died.
Adding something in here probably nobody outside italy knows:
“In 1981 Gelli was one of the very few Italians to be invited to President Reagan’s oath.”

Have fun reading this guy bio.
Pretty much every time I learn something new about Reagan it confirms my prior opinion.
Ah yes, Campaigns Inc. Fuck Clem Whitaker and Leon Baxter with a long rusty spoon.
Why isn’t it called “public healthcare” and “private healthcare”? Alternatively, why isn’t it called “government-run healthcare” and “corporate-run healthcare”?
Why does it have to be “private healthcare” and “government-run healthcare”?

She used to be for it, now she’s against it. Funny how the opposite never happens. It’s like there’s some list of positions that Democrats have to reverse course on before they can be nominated for president.
There’s a saying here which roughly translated goes:
“You eat the bread of whose songs you sing.”
It sounds like her economic plan includes expanding the ACA, but it does not propose Medicare for All or a public option. That’s really not “opposed to socialized medicine” at all. She is proposing increasing healthcare subsidies under the ACA, capping out of pocket costs, and negotiating lower drug prices.
Propaganda works. All the time.
Almost every time.
Adolf Hitler left art school, one thing led to another, and the United States dropped two nuclear bombs on the sovereign nation of Japan.
I can’t remember the comedian who had that as a bit, I think it was Brian Regan?
Mmm, yeah, probably not not linked with art school. But, but to japanese guy who was supposed to become a sake brewer
Somebody listened to this and can tell me what his rationale was? The unspoken reason is probably like less taxation for the rich and profit in the medical industry, but what are the “sensible” arguments he would be brave enough to formulate in public at the time? If it’s about medical research and innovation, it could be assured by the government but “it’s not the job of the state to ensure the people’s well-being”? Or “people will get lazy if their health is not on the line”?
Okay, I had a listen. Basically his arguments are:
- People don’t want it, it is forced through ruse by socialist politicians.
- It removes freedom from patients to choose their insurance, health care provider etc.
- It removes freedom from physicians to choose their working methods and living/practicing location. The state will control every aspect of their profession.
- By slippery slope, it’s going to lead to the same for every profession.
So it’s an attack point to impose socialism in America. Eh.
