Cancel culture.

[FatherSioux]

Mass Unemployment = Due to excess government lockdown in Liberal states
Pandemic = Worth concern
Military Industrial Complex = Should have left this out, feels forced.
Healthcare = Get a job, don't eat shit and workout occasionally.
Ecological Collapse = False, not happening. Earth survived and will survive. Quit spinning this BS

Hey first time we agree. Well, the pandemic is on the wane, there isn’t mass unemployment (The unemployment rate peaked at 14.8% during the height of the pandemic, and is currently at 6.1% https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf), democrats are more war hawks than conservatives nowadays, remember how pissed Dems were when Trump wanted to pull out of Syria?(https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.was...outputType=amp)

And we’ll leave the ecological collapse and healthcare as “controversial”. But I do really agree that cancel culture should be low on our list of worries

It's a year old meme, but the gist is still true.

I have a job, eat clean, work out, still not a huge fan of my private plan. Mine is 80% coverage following me paying a $4000 deductible. It’s nice in a major issue like a car accident, but that deductible hurts, man. And in many cases the private insurance provider (UHC for me) could challenge the medical necessity of any and every medical procedure I have done. Now have they ever once said something I had done wasn’t medically justified? No. Never once. And I’ve definitely had some stuff done before. When I had whooping cough 10 years ago I coughed so hard I tore a hole in my lung and was admitted to the ER overnight. That was a $22k bill

It’s the middle class that get the short end of the stick when it comes to healthcare in my opinion. The poor are set, because Medicaid is fucking awesome. Medicaid pays in full with no co-pays, and in my state it covers EVERYTHING medical and mental health, and it never challenges any expenses to my knowledge. From working in healthcare I know all healthcare providers love to accept Medicaid, because they know they are getting their money and right away without a dispute. I can’t imagine anyone who’s worked in healthcare or had Medicaid as their plan as a patient NOT say that it’s fucking awesome

So the rich are set, and the poor are set. What I personally disagree on is the economic viability of trying to give Medicaid or Medicare (which isn’t nearly as good in terms of coverage from my experience in talking to people who have it) to all. And once it’s given to all, would it still function as well as it does today or would there be lots of uncovered procedures and huge waits? If Dems think they can make Medicaid for all viable just by stealing from (sorry, cough,*taxing) the ultra rich they have another thing coming. I almost want to give them free reign to try just to see how high everyone’s taxes go as the rich flee the US and more and more costs get pushed down the ladder

Lol just check your DNA before you are born to be sure you're not going to have any dispositions that effect your health. If you do, give it back and ask for another one. Like jesus said.

Literally in the Holocene extinction, right now. AKA Anthropocene extinction, right now. You're in the middle of a mass extinction, but hey, as long as the actual rocks and dirt which make up the earth survive, its all good. D'oh.

Highly speculative. With roughly 500 known extinctions since 1900 it's hardly fact to claim that we're in the middle of a mass extinction. People love to believe they are living in historic times. This phenomenon I believe accounts for much of the climate change scares, mass extinction theories etc.

When you zoom out on global timelines you will see that the earths temperature is not that hot. The rate of change has spiked a bit but it's just too small of a sample size to draw many conclusions from it.

Past mass extinction events are staggering, roughly 75% of all species being wiped away seems to be a good watermark for claiming a mass-extinction. The highest numbers I found which are highly speculative say that roughly 10% of species are gone extinct since humans hit the scene. Forgive me if I'm not ready claim that a 10% mark signifies a MASS EXTINCTION play foreboding organ music.
