I disagree. Trump indulged in a gish gallop of lies and bullshit. Biden spent too much time trying to refute some of it and in doing so wasted time which he could’ve used to make his own points.

There should’ve been moderation in place to stop this, there was none.

As bad as Biden was, CNN were worse. Fuck that shitty network for allowing Trump to lie pretty much nonstop for 90 minutes unchallenged.

“Sorry, I’m not going to have a battle of wits with someone who is clearly unarmed.”

I got you Joe, right here:

“It also said no aid trucks have entered the territory in the past two days via a floating pier set up by the US for sea deliveries, and warned that the $320m (£250m) project may fail unless Israel starts providing the conditions humanitarian groups need to operate safely.”

"The UN Genocide Convention lists five acts that fall under its definition. … Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.”

Thanks.

A couple of things you might not have considered:

Preventative care. If you have insurance that covers checkups, screenings, etc. then you get that benefit. If you don’t have the insurance and can’t afford the out of pocket expense, you skip. The issue is that then people wait until they’re in really bad shape before seeking treatment meaning that outcomes are worse and treatment is much more expensive than if the illness had been caught earlier. Who pays for that? We all do through increased premiums.

This doesn’t happen in a well-run single payer system.

But for expected care like dentist visits you can and absolutely should shop around.

Why? I’m not seeing any benefit to your idea vs single payer dental. It’s not like your mouth isn’t a part of your body or that dental issues don’t effect your overall wellbeing.

Or you can sue them if you feel they should pay.

If someone can’t afford insurance, what makes you think they can afford a lawyer?

If you want a healthy discussion, you need better arguments.

Competition is inherently meaningless in the context of healthcare. What are you going to do, shop around while you’re having a heart attack? Also, with single payer, the government is not involved in your healthcare directly. Compare that with the current system where insurance companies often decide if you’re worth the treatment or, if you’re under or uninsured, you get to carry the debt until you die.

“Can I just stop you right there?” like you have something important to say, and then just walk away leaving them confused as hell.

A Moka pot, it’s the best coffee I’ve tasted, I’ll never go back to using those coffee machines with the basket and the glass carafe.

Also, a really good chef’s knife, kept really sharp. I use a couple of Global ones.

Spike Milligan’s headstone reads, “I told you I was ill”

Luna moth?

The best music sounded better, I’m not a fan of the harsh, over compressed and brick wall limited digital stuff these days. It’s tiring to listen to.

You’re missing out.

It’s not an easy watch but it’s worth it, unlike some of the other movies mentioned here the shock factor is necessary to tell the story and it’s a story worth experiencing.

Great movie though, I should watch it again.

I haven’t seen anyone mention Come and See yet, so that one.

Citation needed.

Watch out, some dickhead might accuse you of sealioning.

I don’t need to reread what you wrote

Cool. We’re done here.

So which part do you know to be false,

Re-read what I wrote, I was quite clear although I edited my post a minute after submitting so maybe you missed it.

You can claim I’m sealioning all you want, anyone with a functioning brain can see I’m not.

Asking for a source just to ask for a source is called sealioning.

Good grief, no.

I read so much absolute bullshit around nuclear and renewables where people just write out their feelings on the subject. Asking for sources to back up their claims isn’t sealioning, it’s a polite way of asking someone to try and back up their claims with facts.

In this instance, OP said, “Has anyone who wants to “go green” without nuclear ever looked at the power output of these things?? It’s not even the same league! AaagggghHhHhhhhhhhh”

I want to know what they’re talking about. If they’re saying 1 solar panel or wind turbine has a smaller output than a nuclear plant then … well yeah, that’s obvious. If they’re saying renewables won’t work without nuclear then that’s a straight up lie and I’d like them to post sources to back up that assertion.

Thanks for this. I did ask OP for sources, in other words links to verifiable data to back up the assertion that:

“Has anyone who wants to “go green” without nuclear ever looked at the power output of these things?? It’s not even the same league! AaagggghHhHhhhhhhhh”
