It's called Medicare for All for branding and because it would be implemented by the Medicare bureaucracy, but all the M4A bills proposed eliminate all the parts and supplements and deductibles and premiums. If they don't compromise it to death it would be better national healthcare than most of Europe, patients pay literally nothing, taxes are the only source of healthcare funding, private insurance is banned, Medicare covers vision and dental and drugs and ambulances. Depending on the version of the bill for-profit hospitals are illegal because it gets rid of billing codes and Medicare just pays the hospital's operating budget.

Trump Praises ‘Nice Guy’ Hakeem Jeffries as Someone He Can ‘Get Along With’

Letting the other gay people know you're gay is a 19th century debutante coming out party, secret gay is a skeleton in the closet. Unrelated metaphors got merged together because they grammatically make sense that way.

If it was actually happening at the federal level he would oppose it for the exact same reason, "billionaires are going to move out of the US, we can't tax them unless it's an international treaty"

They aren't bringing back cashiers, they'll have one cashier with a massive line as a deterrent to get you to download the scan as you go app on your phone so you supply the bar code scanner at your expense and they track your phone and change the digital price tags based on your Palantir profile as you walk up.

Or the other option is Walmart has started remodeling their stores into primarily warehouses. The main entrance is badged only for picker workers to hand orders to Doordash or put app orders in people's cars. The legacy experience entrance will be a temporary secondary option until they get enough robots to make the building fully lights out and automated. Shambling automatons will emerge from the black hell portal in the surface of The Edifice with your tampons and then run facial recognition on you and sniff your car for drug and explosive residue.

If 4 G’s was enough to cause fatal brain bleeds, then I’d assume stunt pilots, astronauts, and fighter pilots wouldn’t exist. And you can’t train your brain not to bleed.

G forces are good for measuring sustained force in one direction, relevant when you're worried about fluids draining somewhere. Pilots are trained not to make an inverted turn that would be 4Gs towards their head, because that drains too much blood into your brain and will cause a stroke. 4Gs towards your feet or back on the other hand is no problem. You can't just have some G number and say that's safe.

NASA cancelled the Ares I rocket because even though the linear acceleration was less than 4Gs, it vibrated, and the astronauts all the way on one end of a 100 meter long vibrating stick would be getting jerked back and forth. Instead of excessive blood pressure popping a blood vessel, the threat was sloshing brain tissue stretching out and tearing blood vessels.

Looking at some video of X2 it's pretty obvious how people would get a brain bleed. It's trying to rotate people while they go around the track, and the hydraulics visibly suck and are shuddering and jerking like crazy. If people's legs are flopping around like limp noodles, their brain on the other end of that rotation is going to be sloshing and twisting and that's eventually going to tear something in somebody. The ideal design of the coaster was probably safe but unlike a fixed track where it either breaks or it doesn't some 4D hydraulic system requires a lot of money to keep it ideal.

China had two big black and white animals: pandas and tapirs, and the people writing the books weren't out in the jungle, they were buying dead skins from dealers who hadn't seen it alive either. Mo started out as a more accurate panda sighting and then gradually turned into a chimera with a tapir nose and panda claws and magical hydrophobic fur like a tapir and eats metal like an exaggerated panda. And then it got even more tapir-like when Europeans found tapirs first and declared them the basis of the Mo.

The creation of African Union included the agreement to push for 2 permanent African security council members and the AU votes for who gets them.

China has long term planning so they were happy to give the UK cheap loan deals to build nuclear plants to create work for the Chinese nuclear industry. Then the US started doing an Iron Curtain against China, so to suck up to both the US and China the UK had to buy out all the planned Chinese-partnered nuclear plants. To avoid looking like losers UK politicians insist on trying to go through with building them without China at crippling expense while trying to pretend like it's not a disaster.

This just sounds like they're being pretentious about L3 Meadowlands, which is a dish on a trailer for jamming drone satellite links. The US deployed tons of those before bombing Iran and they all got blown up because Iran has been jamming US drones for years and was very public about building their drones with AI camera based guidance since jamming is too easy.

He doubled down that David Simon is wrong for not using AI, I guess partly because Amazon paid him to but he seems like a credulous spreadsheet boomer even beyond paid shilling.

The military bases doing the imperialism are named after those guys and what the Confederacy wanted to do if they won the war was take over Cuba and Venezuela and rename the Gulf of Mexico the American Sea. America is what happens when you aren't a tankie and quit Reconstruction.

yellow Michael Parenti about critical support:

And those who demand instant perfection, the day after the revolution, they get up and say "Are there civil liberties for the fascists? Are they going to be allowed to have their newspapers, and their radio programme? Are they going to be able to keep all their farms?" The passion that some of our liberals feel the day after the revolution, the passion and concern they feel for the fascists—the civil rights and civil liberties of those fascists who were dumping and destroying and murdering people before—now the revolution has got to be perfect! It's got to be flawless! Well, that isn't my criteria! My criteria is, what happens to those people who couldn't read? What happens to those babies who couldn't eat—that died of hunger? And there, that's why I support revolution. The revolution that feeds the children gets my support! Not blindly, not unqualified. And the Reaganite government that tries to stop that kind of process, that tries to keep those people in poverty and illiteracy and hunger—that gets my undiluted animosity and opposition.
