If you're trying to lose weight, I recommend cutting out as much animal products as possible! I switched out all breakfast meats with the veggie options.. men in my family die from heart attacks.. the bacon isn't worth it to me anymore lol. I try to not touch dairy.
When the government is defining a product like health insurance so that it covers everything with a heart string tether attached, then you have product most people can not afford. So therefore it become unmarketable. Then it is not health insurance, it is nothing. So why have the government involved with health insurance? There is only answer to this question. The agenda of those that support government involvement with heath insurance is to make it unusable for enough, to make government run healthcare desirable to a majority. Then we are all in the same soup, beholding to our representative to help us navigate the morass of regulation insulating us from the healthcare, which if we all use it, would bust the budget.
A cop told me the other day, that other states will send homeless people on a one way ticket to portland. So... yeah maybe lol.
Unlike Nate, I don't consider any human being "pieces of shit". And unlike Nate, I recognize there are NO perfect humans. None. Everyone does risky things or things we should not. It's called being human. And anyone can have an accident. Obviously there are degrees. Shooting heroin or smoking cigarettes is more risky than going for a walk. But right now I have a painful swollen right knee that has knocked out my weekend plans and has me limping through the day taking painkillers because I went for my normal 2 mile after work walk, the toe of my sneaker stuck in a crack in the sidewalk and pitched me forward onto my right knee. Hard. On concrete. If I need medical care, which I might if it does not heal on its own, will Nate say I took a risk by walking on badly kept city sidewalks? Maybe if I looked where I was going I would not have fallen. Should I be denied treatment because I had my head in the clouds? I mean, I make pretty decent choices in personal lifestyle but I have no choice about air quality or water quality and Trump is eliminating standards. Are people in Flint pieces of shit who took the risk of drinking water and got lead poisoning, or are they people who live in a non-affluent community that was low priority? Years ago, my late cat Celia got her leg caught and went into total panic. I realized I needed both hands to free her so could not restrain her head, and the only neighbor in shouting distance was not home. So I used both hands and in her panic she repeatedly bit me. Not normal for her, she was normally a good cat but was just blindly panicked. By the time she was freed, which only took 2 or 3 minutes, her leg was covered with blood from my hands, her skin never broke. I cleaned as best I could but had punctures. I had to go to ER next day with incipient blood poisoning where one of her canines bit right into my finger joint. Cats carry two bacteria we do not and therefore have no immunity to. I waited hours because the fucking insurance company would not clear ER, saying a cat bite was not an emergency, until I grabbed a nurse, showed her my hand red and twice normal size, she started treatment and dealt with bureaucracy later. Because I would lose the finger if not treated. So was I a piece of shit taking a risk because I had a cat? And sometimes women have unwanted pregnancies, either unplanned or planned ones that go wrong. Sometimes horribly wrong. No one has the right to make value judgments. Even though a lot of people, mostly males in power, think they do. My point is life is risky and all of us take risks and no one is mistake free. If that is your criterion for who deserves health care we will all be dead.
...yada yada yada...djdhfurhedjfusjsjieirjd... EVIL MEN IN POWER, errrr..."mostly males in power" ... yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada blah blah blah. Oh, and plenty of human beings are pieces of shit.
How about people who participate in extreme sports or dangerous jobs? Those are also potentially expensive lifestyle choices. If you add shitty life style choices to preexisting conditions then no one can get insurance anymore. The cost of care is not increasing because some poor woman wants to have an abortion, its increasing because a pack of crooks are running the system and a bigger pack of dip shits are arguing over meaningless details like birth control rather than focus on systemic issues.
How does one judge which humans are "pieces of shit" and deserve to die? Who has the right to make that decision? Do you want to ask the candidate who called for killing Muslims and filmed a campaign ad in a gas chamber?
It's our tax money....spending it for public safety and health is a good investment...if those taxes aren't allocated to public health, environmental issues, etc....they're going to just put those taxes into more of an arms race and give it to the military anyway...choices.....I'm taxed every paycheck...I want it put to sensible use, not military escalation or walls on the border...I'm going to accept my social security check mailed to me by the govt ...I've earned it. Will those without heart strings refuse those social security checks and medicare benefits because they are socialistic in nature?
The same way we choose which people we want to disparage by calling them their given name because we believe they're racist. You know, like assholes that would talk about Jeff Sessions and call him Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III. I know you wouldn't do something so judgemental like that but you get the idea. I'm sure you also feel nothing but compassion for the candidate you say advocates killing Muslims. He's just being the person nature made him.
Dangerous jobs would be covered by employer. Extreme sports injuries would be like any other sport injury imo. I love abortion. And all other types of birth control.
Oh, of course I had to Google it and see what the numbnuts actually said. He says he wants to kill any "radicalized islamic suspect" Which might be pretty fucked up if he means ones we capture but it still isn't just "killing Muslims" This article isn't exactly making this guy out to be the good guy. Do you have one that proves he just wants to kill Muslims? https://m.dailykos.com/story/2017/7...tical-commercial-inside-Auschwitz-gas-chamber
I painfully read through some of that garbage. But yeah, smoking cigarettes and walking down the street are the same thing. You're a sharp one.
I think what bothers me the most is hearing progressives talk about facts CONSTANTLY and then being too lazy or dishonest to actually quote what their opponent actually says. As if filming a political ad in a gas chamber isn't kind of creepy enough.
