      The amazing thing is that the more participants you get paying into a single system, the less the cost for each is while covering everyone for anything. And yet some people are against this idea, who aren’t even the ones getting rich from the current system.

      Almost like if there was was one giant super doctor company that was required by law to provide medical treatment for everyone and it could leverage economies scale and its market power to negotiate better prices and wellness outcomes.

    well obviously we should make this groundbreaking new approach available to anyone who wants it alongside traditional vaccines.

    then we can just require proof of vaccination or this new alternative - let’s call it “inoculation” for now - for school attendance.

      Yeah, maybe we could suggest they even use “dead” versions of the viruses so they don’t have to actually put a live virus inside of them, and their body will learn what the virus looks like and not have to deal with it replicating.

      Then once they like that idea we can suggest we attach a protein to something so their immune system can recognize it as not naturally occuring and mark it down as destroy that shit if I ever see it again even without the protein.

      Jack Posobic is a right wing douche nozzle. Dude’s either serious as a heart attack or knows how dumb the people he peddles this shit to are and this is him screaming into the ether.

    This is why I see the political spectrum as just a circle … there is no far right or far left

    There is a center at the top and if you move to the right or left, you end up at the left side of the circle or right side of the circle … if you politics go any further, the start traveling inward and meet at the bottom … the far right is no different than the far left.

    So our job is to have this never ending circus balancing act of standing on this circle … it is constant work to keep it all balanced because if we drift to one end, we are liable to drift too far and end up at the bottom.

      What you’re describing sounds a lot like the Horseshoe Theory.

      In a nutshell, the far extremes of “left” and “right” are more similar to each other than the center, i.e. the ends of the horseshoe actually terminate at “authoritarian” and which way you go to ultimately get there winds up not mattering much in the end.

        Modern far left: we think other people should be treated with respect, dignity, and have inalienable human rights to things like food and education. Modern far right: Chattel slavery was great and so was the Trail of Tears.

        I can’t see any differences between these two.
