    absolutely hyperbole. Why? Because if we dont survive it would be the peoples decision when they tear it all down. Not Trumps. You are never going to get me to blame trump or any president for the actions of society.

    because most know that most european countries wouldnt exist right nOw if a capitalist country didnt rebuild most of it and then provide military protection and aid to most.
    All of that costs alot of money.
    Talk to me in 100 years when the money runs out and breadlines are everywhere.

    its easy to live in the moment and say hey! Its easy! While forgetting or dismissing how one got there.

    Just one, minute little question:

    Where are we now compared to where we were 4 years ago and who stoked that fire instead of united us?

    Protests are not the same thing as minority rule. Protesters do not control the government.

    That's not much of a concern for S2 posters.

    Arizona's Maricopa County will release two batches of poll results tonight
    From CNN's Kyung Lah

    Arizona's Maricopa County, the most populous county that includes Phoenix, will release two batches of voting results Wednesday night, according to Megan Gilbertson from the Maricopa County Elections Department.

    Here's when they numbers will be released:

    • The first batch will come at 9 p.m ET / 7 p.m. MT
    • The second will come at 12:30 a.m. ET / 10:30 p.m. MT
    There is no estimate on how many ballots each batch will contain.

    Among the first ballots counted today are the 248,000 early ballots that were not processed before Election Day. Those ballots will go more quickly as more of them have been taken out of envelopes and signature verified already.

    The roughly 160,000 to 180,000 early ballots dropped off on Election Day have not been removed from envelopes or signature verified—these will take time to process.

    Actually, a second set of questions:

    Do you think Trump is not to blame for the pandemic response given how people who support him have reacted to his response? Trump could have galvanized a scientific response. Did he? Did he try to curtail this? Or did he dismiss it, and then try to instead galvanize his "society" to "liberate" states who undermined him?

    We don't have a united president.

    You can have financial incentives in a socialist system.

    Right now some doctors get financial bonuses for NOT referring their patients to specialists or additional diagnostic testing.

    vs

    In some socialized medical systems doctors are given financial rewards for improving the overall health of their pool of patients. Things like a measurable decrease in things like cholesterol, weight, smoking, etc.

    We can design a healthcare for all type of system that still has financial incentives that motivates and innovates.

    Actually, communism does not reward high (or low) performance.

    Socialism is just a method to determine that means of production, distribution and exchange are owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

    The US government, by this definition, is a socialist vehicle. Pure and simple.

    But, what people often call socialism is government programs that try to create a more equal starting point for everyone - that allows the unprivileged to exist, but does not actually block high performers from reward. Medicare, Medicade, social security, federal welfare and public schools are all examples of socialist programs that exist in the US - and the US is better off because of them.

    So, let's try to avoid the nonsense that socialism is something dirty, it is not and it is common in the US and very successful as well.
