How does the cost break down in terms of private insurance versus single payer+private insurance? Basically what I'm wondering is if I currently have private insurance and it covers me for most things, what would be the difference if we switched to single payer (which covers far fewer things) and then I was also required to supplement with private (to fill in the gaps for what used to be covered but now isn't under single payer). I suspect single payer is great for people who don't currently have private insurance, but far worse for people who do.

My understanding is that the US has one of the most liberal immigration policies in the world. Is that not the case?

What should you punish murder with? Genuinely asking. I see many who want to do away with prisons and switch to rehabilitation. In some cases I can certainly understand that, and I am against for profit prisons, but I also know that a certain portion of society is just fundementally born with dysfunctional brains and no amount of rehabilitation will ever correct that. What do you do with the person who is sadistic and sociopathic in their disdain for other human life?

It isn't CIA propaganda. They quite literally welded people into their houses during COVID, there's video of them doing it. They then absolutely decimated Hong Kong, making countless protestors disappear. There's obviously the whole situation where they use mass slave labor of the Uyghur Muslims. There's the constant lies the CCP spews that are demonstrably false (we're talking North Korea levels of laughable propaganda). There's their blatant theft of intellectual property with government support along with the global corporate espionage. There's the horrible working conditions, with companies needing suicide nets around the buildings to prevent workers from jumping. There's the laughable safety issues with various engineering projects that when they fail are swept under the rug. The list goes on and on. China has an interesting and impressive history, but China under the CCP is absolute dog shit.

You're absolutely right, guns don't protect people at all...oh wait, they do. You mean the left has been lying to me this entire time?

The difference being the IDF has consistently gone to pretty significant lengths to warn civilians and give them time to evacuate. Hamas has not and in fact specifically targets civilians. These groups are not the same.

You absolutely should have that right. What is the issue?

I too was experiencing this. It was laughably bad. I then disabled 5G and all my issues disappeared. 4G is plenty fast enough and in my area has far better coverage. I truly don't see the point of 5G and the toll it takes on my battery.

I like to play a game where I stop pressing the gas and coast to see how slow I can get before they go around me. My record is 25mph on a 65mph freeway where the cars around us were going closer to 75 or 80. I was honestly shocked.

They also purposely build their devices in such a way that they often can't be economically repaired, necessitating a repurchase. Check out Louis Rossman on YouTube, he owns a repair shop and rants about it all the time.

Has this been confirmed or is this speculation?
