Yes thank you.
I’d accept “as fast as industry can progress” if the industry in question was something addressing climate change, or poverty, or reducing war. Otherwise what’s the rush?

Hmm that makes sense, thanks.
I’m not advocating for the US style of health insurance. I’m saying this specific case, if the medical commentators in this thread are to be trusted, may have ended up the same way in a non-profit model.
I know there’s psychological research that says any of us could become Nazis, that we’re just products of our environment, but I dunno man. I see the things happening in the world and I don’t know how I could ever get from A to B. I think the systems are just good at finding the evil people and putting them in those positions.
But even if you made the insurance system completely non-profit, there’s no upper bound on how much you can spend on each individual. You’d still run into cases where you have to distribute a limited number of resources.
This is interesting and I get the appeal, but I’m too afraid of pirates to just live without a nation’s protection.
I think we’re on the same page because I was more replying to you than the OP. I think the meme is a bit extreme and that was either the joke, or it’s specifically crafted to piss of both sides of the aisle, like so much content today.
Can you take out debt against it to pay for those things? If you’re net negative while it’s in your possession then the math should work out if you can extract some of its future sale price against its current cost.
I agree it’s a blessing to have your parents be financially independent into their later years. I do think there’s a generational disparity. I don’t think there’s an obligation for parents to pass on some early inheritance, but I just can’t imagine letting my kids face a lower standard of living assuming their career paths and lifestyles were similar. Maybe I’ll feel different when I’m older and I think everything they do is wasteful or something?
There’s a photo that has the bullet in mid flight? Is that even optically possible? That should be case closed right off the bat.
Edit: OK I take it back, the photo has it all stretched out as I’d expect.
What’s the context here? I can sense this is cringeworthy but I must know more.
Just want to say I appreciate you having the courage to provide counterpoints in a very biased space.
