Here we have a Medicare levy for everyone of 2% of your income, seems to work pretty well. although it doesn’t cover for example dentistry, so you’re screwed if you’re really poor in that area still

@Leo Gura But my point is that progressives should be willing to compromise to a public option for now, as many Western countries still have a much better system that is a hybrid. Rather than follow Jimmy Dore or Kulinski’s advice and spend all your political capital something which won’t get passed

I don’t entirely disagree that all employees could get some stock or dividends to share in the profit. But if your life savings are invested in one stock and it crashes you’re kinda fucked....the good thing about a 401k diversified portfolio is it mitigates for risk

Have you thought through the economic implications of this? A blanket ban on public investment would crash the economy. And where are people supposed their extra savings for retirement..?

That’s extremely radical. How are companies supposed to raise capital then? Also disallowing average people to make investments if they wish

Watching from Australia it’s a little bizarre seeing progressives die on the hill of Medicare for all completely replacing private health insurance. We have Medicare for all here but private health is still very prominent. Most people support a public option in the US and it would still be universal coverage, so why not move to that for now? Why insist on only moving from the furthest right healthcare in the developed world to the further left (abolishing private health all together)?

I use Onenote on my Mac just fine. however I had to do some digging to find the 2016 version before it became shittier. Try this link which worked for me https://onenote.uservoice.com/forums/327165-onenote-for-mac/suggestions/19829044-solution-to-getting-older-version-of-onenote-with If you prefer this version just make sure you have auto update turned off

@Hello from Russia DP is a real disorder, don’t confuse it with enlightenment. It’s a dissociative disorder caused by anxiety, don’t confuse the two

Weed and psychedelics are some of the most common triggers for DP, so doubt it

Good watch

JLP is so bad that he’s good

He’s like Vaush but more grounded and less ideological

There’s 100% a relationship between a Acne and dairy for me. However it mainly seems to be milk for me. Whenever I’m having milk it explodes. However cheese, and even some decent protein powder doesn’t seem to cause many issues for me personally

If we’re not going to be anti-war here, okay. But what’s with all this leeway with Democrats. Obama increased drone strikes from Bush, didn’t end the wars, went after whistleblowers etc

That’s great to hear that you have first hand experience of improvement. Will there be a video coming on this? Did you basically just follow Andy Cutler’s book? Chelation seems like an intimidating topic and it seems like you can fuck up and make things worse.

https://samharris.org/podcasts/225-republic-lies/ I know that Sam Harris definitely has his problems, but this was a great episode. He even runounced his unofficial 'membership' of the IDW over the Trump stuff...

But Trump actually got more votes in 2020 than 2016? Biden only just won by about 90,000 votes in a few key states. I seriously doubt without a once in a century pandemic and a terrible response to it, Biden would have been able to maintain such a small victory.

watch this blue guy take the political compass test, and greens reaction to it. It really gives you an insight into the blue mind, and the degree to which they’re basically living in a different universe. Like, imagine thinking porn should be illegal...

You were confident Trump would win prior to the pandemic. If it weren’t for the pandemic, Trump would have won easily.

@Mikael89 I don't think the military likes Trump

Is it? There no basis to any of his legal claims so it seems very unlikely they'll go anywhere. Worst case scenario they'll just drag him out of the oval office

I think Kyle presents his evidence that most voters are progressive in his own biased way. Like universal healthcare approval ratings vastly differ depending on how the question is worded. They project their own views on the population

I mean it still matters at the relative level for your life, which is what we’re talking about here. Either way we’re gonna die and forget our awakening so “permanent” would be much better.

I think it’s worth having some respect for the notion of free speech. Can we not having any guiding principles?

Libertarians are like this too but take it even further. Any military bases outside America or any use of state sanctions etc are seen as immoral. It’s too ideological I think, but hey, it’s better than the other end of the spectrum
