At least I knew not to cite a bill that Democrats authored and passed to support a non-profit (Kaiser Permanente), as an example of the GOP passing laws to kill non-profit health insurance. Did you think Ted Kennedy (D-MA) was somehow a Republican? Or that KP is a for-profit or that HMOs dominate?

It's an especially weird claim since the bill is basically a subsidy for a non-profit healthcare organization (Kaiser Permanente) It's like saying Republicans are responsible for the amount non-profit insurance in this country and pointing to the Medicare Act. It's fractally wrong!

You're going to need to be more specific. That's a genuinely good, Dem-authored and Dem-passed (Dems controlled both chambers) bill that seems completely unrelated to the claims described in the picture.

this is, genuinely, extremely normal for rapidly growing companies. if your revenue is growing very quickly, then you can pay off any debt you take on today in a pretty short time frame. reminded of cory doctorow claiming uber wasn't and would never be profitable right as it became a money printer

I'm not sure what specific numbers you're looking at, but *providers* are majority non-profit today, and *peoples' insurance plans* should be roughly 50%/50% non-profit vs. for-profit. Republicans didn't pass a bill in 1973 (a year when Dems controlled Congress) that moved that needle.

the "bad misstatement" in question is to the effect of "yes, I commit sexual harassment regularly and utilize the funds made available to me via nonprofit grants to commit sexual harassment and to induce people to have sex with me and to participate in sexual events which i attend"

Health insurance did not have to pay for very much for children in 1973: if your child got leukemia and badly needed healthcare, there were no expensive cancer treatments your child could get, they'd just die. $25 billion in profit today would be equivalent to <$1/month/capita in 1973 dollars.

You can get ~100 percent of Americans to say pretty much any ridiculous thing on a survey. At least if it’s about skincare.

I think at this point criticizing people for using GLP-1s for weight loss is a silly and unscientific position to take. Diet and exercise are great for depression but nobody accuses people of cutting corners for taking Zoloft. All evidence suggests these things are incredibly safe and effective.

I know there are a million problems / downsides with this compared to typical aviation, but if you don't think it's super cool, you're just a liar. And materials will only get lighter, batteries will only get denser, etc.

1. CPI is already weighted based on what people are buying. 2. The vibecession did not start 12 months ago.

Maybe it costs $1B. I'm not sure how that'd even be possible but the added property tax revenue alone would cover it anyway

Raising the height cap in the height of buildings act is difficult bc people want the washington monument to be this really big landmark But its economic cost is such that, especially when considering that the washington monument's facade is kinda ugly, we should just redo the monument to be bigger

if the median texan voter votes for a further right candidate, the criticism that texas dems will read from the electorate is that they weren't far enough to the right on enough issues, not that they need to squeeze more turnout from an already very dem electorate you are telling dems to ignore you

you make it sound like someone is defaming you with career-ruining allegations and it's just some guy saying he thinks you're not careful enough and/or don't act in good enough faith with discourse. which is: 1) completely subjective, 2) incredibly low stakes, and 3) an easy opinion to understand?
