AHCA: A Republican Response to The Affordable Care Act

Fairbs says...

I'm with you, but it wouldn't work because Socialism is a dirty work in the US even though there are tons of examples such as the military, cops, roads, streetlights, ...

#2 and related is that everything has to be seen under the lens of capitalism which is short for ponzi scheme where a very small number of people at the top get filthy rich while everyone else bends over and pretends that they could be that guy at the top some day.

Your healthcare system is mental. It's ridiculously complex.

Look, here's how you do healthcare.

Step 1: everyone pays taxes and the government pays for hospitals, doctors, etc.
Step 2: you get sick and said hospitals treat you.

That's it. It's really simple and even if it has some problems, it's still so much better than any of this nonsense.

Obamacare in Trump Country

Fairbs says...

so are you saying that most of the over 20 million people that now have health care were forced? personally I don't think the vast majority of them are unhappy; there's only a very small part of the people that are seeing above average rate increases (about 3% if I remember correctly) and rate increases have been slowing overall; I know it's more complicated, but I would say focus on fixing that 3% and quit trying to burn it down

I do think there are a lot of liberal leaning people on here, but I don't think the door is closed meaning I'd be fine with more people and more varied ideas; I think most of the conversations are pretty respectful except for this one guy and he says some pretty crazy things; I think he may be just a troll anyway

This place (videosift) seems to be filled with a plethora of liberal ideals and videos about liberal ideals.

This is all just my opinion, but here it is none the less:
The simple reason these people voted Trump is these people don't WANT hand-outs and government cheese. But what they do want is someone who they feel will put the USA first and bring back jobs. They, for whatever reason, felt that would Trump over Hillary. If they had to hang Obamacare on a cross and sacrifice it to improve their long-term economic standing, then so be it.

It isn't like they really LIKED Obamacare, they were just FORCED to buy it.

Why Build Higher

Fairbs says...

didn't make it through the entire video, but it made me think of two things...
1 if businesses do environmental impact studies of their entire operations, for most businesses, the employee commute to work is the biggest one
2 urban sprawl creates a kind of regressive tax on poor people; land closer in is worth more forcing relatively poorer people to move farther away and then they are the ones stuck with the longer commute times and the resulting lowered happiness

How to check the balance of your D20

Fairbs says...

just roll each one an infinite number of times and see how the probability distribution works out

gorillaman said:

I did this a while ago, but different dice have different densities so with the materials available to me I was only able to get a portion of them to float.

You should follow my example and, having discovered that some are balanced and some are not, put them all back in the same jar and ultimately learn nothing.
