Get back on the Hamster Wheel, Poors!

*Looks down at his Union card* Life's pretty simple when you never worry about retirement, medical bills, or keeping up with the Jones.

So we're promising to open trade to a country with a huge population, rock bottom labor costs, few regulations and enormous growth potential that is historically distrustful of us... Anybody feeling like they heard this song before, back in the 1990s?

If only we had some kind of partnership across the Pacific, that excluded China and smoothed out trade. That would be a great idea.

Hegseth is mediocre. He was from the start. He's the definition of replaceable. Can him, replace him with, say, Tom Cotton, and you quit having to wipe his ass every other month. There's got to be another...Major, Lt. Colonel or Colonel with a Combat Infantryman's Badge and Ivy League diploma that's less of a liability that him.

The Dems control no branches of government, cabinet positions etc. This question is irrelevant.

Hahahahahahah Like when Russia fires ballistic missiles into Easter processions and this forum went ballistic over murdering my brothers in christ at worship?

Every President since Reagan has believed in some flavor of trickle down economics. Every President since Reagan, with the possible exception of Sleepy Joe, has believed in Union busting. Every decade since the 80s, real wages for workers have stagnated or barely increased. Why's Bernie a bad idea? He's got an economic vision for the common man that isn't "Tell those poors to work three jobs so they can buy more equities so Green Line Goes Up".

Russia struck Palm Sunday services in Sumy with a ballistic missile.

More people voted for Al Gore than W. Was our system smarter than Al Gore's voters? I'll hang up and listen.

No problem. Watch the whole thing if you've got time.

The overview of Germany starts at 24:33.

Right? One day, someone will give an argument for our market based, dog**** outcome, pay to win, hopelessly expensive system that has...dare I say it...nuance? Something better than "Canadian UHC BAD!", which is like saying all cars suck because Chevys exist.

Couldn't agree more. Canada and the UK have the some of the shittiest versions of UHC. Now granted, I've used the UK version of UHC, where a trip to the Nurse Practitioner (No wait!) and a week's worth of antibiotics cost me $13. But their are better ways to deliver that outcome than the nightmare that is the NHS. Which is why we should look at models like Germany or Taiwan, or literally anywhere before picking a UHC that works for us. Instead of Obamacare, which really sucks, or Trump's alternative to Obamacare, which is to repeal it and then...stuff.

Is anyone really surprised? We elected another senile fraud and a bunch of his cronies, because they promised to bribe us with our own money...but in a different way from the other guy... "We used to make ***** in this country. We used to build *****. Now we just put our hand in the next guy's pocket".
