Couldn't be a more fitting face for this picture

2018-09-14 19:55:24 UTC  

Agreed

I like how it says in the article that some of the products aren't inclusive, implying that some meet the inclusiveness criteria

2018-09-14 20:09:40 UTC  

Doesn't surprise me. That's only 8 miles from where I'm standing

Don't worry. I got a crazy school near me, and I sadly got my degree from there.

Proud to say, Trudeau hates me. So does his little Muslim Brotherhood troll Omar.

"A university spokeswoman told Campus Reform, which first reported the story, that the school already produces and sells ice cream, sherbet and lactose-free options that are made with a plant-based stabilizer and are gelatin-free."

>all options must be inclusive to all groups or you're not inclusive enough
What if I want beef gelatin you hacks?

You don't count. You aren't an oppressed group

You and me both, comrade. Only I'm not native at all

I see now that affirmative consent is sexy, the next move is to make not calling back a crime.

At some point they're just going to move back to saying: If you want sleep with someone you have to marry them.

feminist patriarchy

I like that even in her own story her roommate calls her on sleeping around.

Fake News fake newsing again.

I was reading through a comment thread from a post that the house democrats put up on twitter about the skyrocketing number of uninsured people....and this happened

2018-09-16 22:35:50 UTC  

Wait. J, how screwed up was the aca to begin with? Health care is way out of my expertise, so I have no clue what it was supposed to do.

2018-09-16 22:36:41 UTC  

My logic is that it may have made more sense to focus on the cost of treatment rather than insurance. I don’t know if that makes sense or not.

2018-09-16 22:37:31 UTC  

I like the cost of treatment, because it drives people into the medical field. Greed drives competition

2018-09-16 22:38:13 UTC  

The problem with the ACA was the mandate....well, the problem with the ACA was that the government got involved at all, but the big problem was the mandate

2018-09-16 22:39:11 UTC  

There was always a driving factor to get insured, because if you didn't you were at the mercy of the medical industry and billing/coding

2018-09-16 22:39:55 UTC  

but you didn't have to have it, so insurance companies had to sell you a product.

2018-09-16 22:40:34 UTC  

if they couldn't make a package enticing enough for you to want to buy it, they went without that premium

2018-09-16 22:42:12 UTC  

Once the ACA went in, the government mandated that you had to have insurance or you had to pay a fine approximately equivalent to about a quarter's worth of insurance premiums, so the companies could get away with charging you whatever premium they wanted

2018-09-16 22:44:44 UTC  

additionally, the law required companies to offer insurance to people who were already sick, which is a problem that does need to be addressed, although I'd rather that be at state or municipality levels. So insurance companies were forced to take on clientele that were going to lose them money. A lot of that cost was absorbed through the mandate, since the young, healthy, and stupid people who were less likely to get sick had to buy the insurance, and they were enticed not to use it through unaffordable copays and deductibles

2018-09-16 22:46:20 UTC  

furthermore, the ACA made "catastrophic" plans illegal. Which meant that I couldn't go out and buy a plan for a couple hundred bucks a year that took care of me in the unlikely event that I have a heart attack at age 20. It forced everyone into a full insurance plan whether or not they were going to use it

2018-09-16 22:47:27 UTC  

Oh. So it massively distorted the market.

2018-09-16 22:48:21 UTC  

There were lower cost options provided through a government insurance collective, but for the most part, if you had a job, you were getting insurance through your employer and you were completely unable to use it. Pretty much anyone who made over a certain marker...let's say 20 grand, wasn't eligible for the government option

2018-09-16 22:48:50 UTC  

Oh. So it massively distorted the market.
