The next guy is gonna be all like "here's a RTX 4050. It's the greatest graphics card ever! You'll be able to play at 4k with raytracing at amazing fps. You'll be able to create AI models like a pro, faster than anyone else. Don't worry about the price, we'll put it on credit (for $50,000 over the next 20 years-) it'll be cheap and amazing! Trust me, only I can save your build."

This is the goal. Remove health insurance. Only healthy manual laborers are wanted because those are the ones who can work for their masters. If they aren't working, they don't deserve to live. If they get sick or are unwell, they can't work and thus are of no value. They only live by the grace of the masters after all.

I swear to christ these people are the dumbest motherfuckers, and nearly half the country is on their side.

The fact that so many idiots are falling in line with ignorant bullshit is just proof of how political advertising is insanely effective. The stance against vaccines is not a medical one - there is really zero debate there - it's a political one based on feelings, surely a great way to handle medical conditions if you're stupid, ignorant and incapable of even the most basic of critical thinking.

Elder care wealth is extracted using service companies as services. E.g. they hire their for-profit cleaning service for astronomical money while their non-profit elderly care facility claims to make no profits. Since the service takes the money and the elder care facility is paying for a known cost (cleaning, supplies, whatever) then they can still claim to be non-profit. The non-profit pays no taxes so they aren't doubly taxed either.

This is a widely known scheme in the north east, combined with the fact that when it's inspection time to see staff levels the business owners mysteriously are given a heads up before they show up so they can make sure just enough staff is there. They routinely understaff these facilities because each person there is just another wage to pay.

Bottom line, for profit healthcare is appalling and corruption is everywhere.

He will say absolutely anything to get in power and avoid the catastrophe that awaits should he fail.

With all the crimes he’s committed that are well documented and easily proven and thus far only some convicted but not sentenced, he’s walking a tightrope. If he falters the consequences are dire.

At best his debts catch up to him and his family legacy is in tatters.

At worst he is in prison for the rest of his life from a treason charge.

If he wins no judge will sentence him until he’s out of office, which he may never be with all the GOP groundwork being laid to create a puppet dictatorship controlled by conservative oligarchs.

Small claims court? Get a refund for all money spent since they took your stuff and ran?

I think if people had even more guns this could have been avoided. What if there was a six year old with a 22 there to respond to the gunshots with some of his own? maybe less people would be dead.

Guns make everyone way safer. We need to start providing them in utero.

Lol this guy is going to get an apology and the city is going to be wearing the egg on their face.

Horrible optics. What in the world are they even thinking?

A taxi that doesn't play games with the meter, that always takes a credit card, and that has a rating system that harshly punishes drivers with bad attitudes.

The problem with it is Uber's cut.

About a month after surgery the implant started to perform poorly. They tweaked some software settings and now it's running better than it did before the drop-off for a longer period, based on the actual blog post the story is talking about https://neuralink.com/blog/prime-study-progress-update-user-experience.

This is obviously prototype technology with insane risk. The guy only signed up because he's paraplegic. It's not in any way remotely ready for normal humans and probably won't ever be in our lifetimes. IMO this is like self driving technology, it's easy to promise the world but hard to actually accomplish what they say.

It's a construction job. Practically everyone is going to be deep red republican. Guy just needs to say his girlfriend had a miscarriage and they were taking it hard and he'd save grace.
