I object to the idea that people are dropping like flies because they can't afford antibiotics.
well that wasn't my point either 😛
The real issue is people going into debt slavery because of medical bills
Well
Not exactly.
My point was that people in the 1700's would die from a splinter due to infection, and now that we can use anti-biotics we can stay alive with it (and cleaner homes) hence we've progressed to a safter society
Have you guys heard of Precision medecine?
There are ways to ameliorate the cost of medical services but the important thing to remember is that ***medical services have a cost that has to be borne by someone***.
There is no free.
So does the military
The antibiotics we now have may just be the cure for the future
There is no free, but theres that issue of inflated prices due to cartel practices, monopoly / thrusts
and the American phrama industry is doing that big-time
We take out loans that will never be repaid to fund the military
I'm so tempted to take a pic of all my knives and tweet at them. what a bunch of cocks.
Recently, it was discovered that a pill previously used for tapeworms shrinks kidney cancer tumours.
We could be declaring a "war on disease" instead of a "war on terror"
welcome to medicine,
"We dont know why it works, but it works, so take two of these and call me in the morning"
Disease will always exist.
Terrorism will always exist.
Yeah, but what do we get out of a war on terror? Not new medicines or life-extending regimens, just death.
Two wars without an endgame, one has positive knock-on effects one doesn't.
got drones out of it
Hooray, now the drones can smash my shit up when they deliver it
How about instead of taking a trillion dollars in taxes from citizens every year and spending it on a never-ending war, we let the taxpayers keep it.
but that would solve issues
and you cant campaign on solved issues
That's part of what was saying earlier about progressivism. It's perpetual revolution. There always has to be some new fight to justify the existence of the movement.
You can't ever say "things are pretty good".
Everything has to be FUCKING AWFUL.
Tax money isn't enough for single payer, it'd have to involve some sort of quantitative easing or MMT
I'm curious, what is a current progressive goal?
Free post-secondary.
White Extinction
rofl
lol
college being free is progress? Didn't someone define it as something that lifts all of us up?
current Progressive goal is one of the next 3:
- to make sure that everyone is exactly equal
Problem is that the only thing everyone can have equal in abundance is misery
- All for me and none for thee
- I need to cover my past crimes as a sex offender with minors
