"However, most of my experiences with our system have been laudable, as we've usually gained high-level care in a timely manner (check out wait times in countries with national health systems)—and then just get a bill at the end for a small portion of it."

Cool. Great.

You know that pisses me off about this author? They don't seem to have taken the time to develop an opinion other than the following: nationalized healthcare in the UK is comparably corrupt.

Health insurance in the USA is universally a rent seeking middle man which lobbies to monopolize access to health care, and a largely unregulated, corporatized health care industry benefits from taking a cut of those inflated prices.

Hiv drugs? insulin? Blood test? A fucking X-ray image? These all cost pennies to produce. Yes, there are wages to consider, but don't think for a second that those can't be managed with a more equitable system.

I'll acknowledge that there are procedures, drugs, and expertise that genuinely do require lots of money. However, to pretend that that is the whole of the issue is to wear blinders so restricting that I have to wonder if the writer is a fucking idiot or just a bad person.

Just as the guy dodging the moose, his little dog is jumping to attack it. Little dogs are hardcore

In universe? I wouldn't say that Batman is anti corporate espionage. He's constantly breaking the law, just with a few caveats (no killing, not to victimize innocent people, etc). He'd probably tacitly support, or at least not pursue quite so vigorously, competent vigilanties who steal records for publication, intimidate crooked CEOs, and destroy company infrastructure.

Turns out that eliminating 70% of all viable workers from employability creates job security for boring, cis men.

Tbh, the hate is largely good old fashioned bullying. The rumors of cheating have been completely disproven. She qualified, she knew she was unlikely to win. She's almost 20 years older than her oldest opponent and this was perhaps her first time competing at that level. Her performance had good parts.

I think the gleeful bullying is disgusting. Fucking armchair critics.

Edit: there are specific moves, but it's largely improvisational. you are judged comparatively against the other b-boy. If you watch the full set the commentators will call them out. her full set

Exposure to violence is bad. Fostering a society where violence is commonplace, bad. Exporting violence to places and people unseen, all bad.

but I'm not really sure that illegal or extra-judicial killings are always wrong. Sometimes evil people are protected or above the law. If a Russian citizen shot Vladimir Putin dead tomorrow, I'd be happy with it. I'd be happy to see a sandy hook parent kill Alex Jones, if they could do it without consequence.

It's not that I believe that murder should be legal, Nor do I believe in capital punishment. Institutional violence is bad for the reasons I listed earlier. But, a lone gunman shooting an evil man is not institutionalized violence.
